General information

CHAMELEON – the System-Level Design Solution developed by INTRON – is intended for ASIC design automatic generation from the algorithm described on ANSI C language. The developer, specifying an algorithm of the data processing on ANSI C, gets on return fully debugged and synthesizable VHDL RTL model of the device that implements described algorithm. The architecture of the device is fully optimized for the executed algorithm and maximally uses its ability for paralleling. Obtained VHDL design may be further implemented in FPGA by any FPGA design solution, e.g. Xilinx ISE WebPACK. On current phase of development, the CHAMELEON is optimized for Xilinx Virtex FPGAs, and it is being optimized for Altera's FPGAs.

CHAMELEON – ASIC Design Automatic Generation Environment

Features Computer schematic synthesis without human's assistance; Automatic optimization of the device's architecture for executed

algorithm; Customer can determine device's interface and control its

performance and gate count; Automatic test bench generation; The software is running under Windows OS.



Products / Intellectual Property Cores

Our Data Protection IP Cores represent vendor-independent VHDL and Verilog implementations of widely used cryptographic algorithms: DES and Triple DES for encryption, and SHA-1 and MD5 for authentication. We are actually working to expand an available set of these IP Cores with AES IP Cores for symmetric, and RSA IP Cores for asymmetric encryption.

Our Fast Orthogonal Transformations IP Cores are an outcome of more then 25 years of our engineers' and scientists' work in the realm of Fast Orthogonal Transformation algorithms investigation, development and hardware implementation. During these years our staff patented more then 50 inventions of new structures and hardware implementations of Fast Orthogonal Transformation algorithms. Moreover, we have developed means for automatic generation of FFT and FCT IP Cores. An example for the FFT IP Cores is given below.

Fast Orthogonal Transformations IP Cores

General information The FFT Processor computes the N-point complex

direct or inverse FFT. The input (output) data is a vector of N complex values represented as 2’s complement numbers – real and imaginary components of a data sample. The input data stream is represented in natural order, the output – in binary-inverse order.

FFT IP Cores generation parameters FFT size; FFT external word width; FFT internal word width; Transformation type; Test patterns (optional).

Features Any radix-2 length direct or inverse FFT; Fixed complex I/Os with any width; Arbitrary width of the internal data and

coefficient word; No external memory required; Fixed-point arithmetic; Simple interface and timing; No dead clock cycles; Fully pipelined structure, fully synchronous; Registered Inputs and Outputs; Full test bench supplied; Natural order input, binary-inverse output.




Our Inter-Core Communications IP Cores are intended to eliminate bottlenecks in the System-on-Chip integration. These IP Cores have been created as sufficient auxiliary components of INTRON SoCs. An example for the Inter-Core Communications IP Cores - Multiple-Block RAM Access Controller IP Core is given below.

Inter-Core Communications IP Cores

General information INTRON’s Multiblock RAM Access Controller provides a

complete memory system for SoC. It connects N=5 requesters to M=3 RAM blocks (16k x 8bits). Each of input requests has an information about RAM block number, address in such block, type of request (read or write) and input data (if request type is write). Controller normally serves all requests during fixed time every clock cycle. Controller overflows when the number of input requests exceeds feasible RAM blocks bandwidth. Numbers of overflow cycles depend on input requests intensity. Experimental result shows, that proposed Controller is more efficient than a Simple Controller. For example, if request intensity is 50%, than the proposed Controller bandwidth is 38% better than bandwidth of the Simple Controller. Our approach allows designing a Controller with different parameters and for different types of external RAM controllers (SRAM, DRAM, etc).

Features Input address bus width – 16bit; Data bus width – 8bit; Input request lines number – 5; External RAM blocks number –

3; Fixed requests processing time –

6 clock cycles; Supported RAM size – 16kx8bit; Requests are processed in order

for each requester; Improves a memory bandwidth; Vendor independent

synthesizable VHDL model, netlist for target device.




Our Media IP Cores are intended to be used as embedded components of audio/video systems of consumer electronics like camcorders, cameras, DVD etc. These IP Cores can be implemented as components of larger SoC design as well as standalone ASIC modules. An example for the Media IP Cores - RGB2YUV Color Space Converter IP Core is given below.

Media IP Cores

Functional description The RGB to YUV color space converter is

designed to perform the following equations:

Y = + KYR*R + KYG*G + KYB*B U = - KUR*R - KUG*G + KUB*B + C1 V = + KVR*R - KVG*G - KVB*B + C1 R, G, B – are 10 bit values; K – are 12 bit values; Y, U, V – are 23 bit positive values; C1 – a constant. The conversion is complete in 8 clock

cycles and both input and output are registered for consistent routing and timing.

Our Arithmetic and Mathematic Functions IP Cores implement widely used arithmetic and mathematic functions, which are time-consuming and sometimes not sufficient to be implemented in software for real-time applications. These IP Cores are intended to be used as components of larger SoCs. Examples for our Arithmetic and Mathematic Functions IP Cores are given below.
