HIGHLY RECONFIGURABLE SOFT-CPU BASED PERIPHERAL MODULES DESIGN

Research motivation. When developing microcontrollers, manufacturers try to include as many different types of peripherals possible in order increase the marketing attractiveness their products. On one hand, with a large assortment various peripheral modules, it is very difficult implement several devices same type microcontroller: are mainly limited 1-2 instances, rare cases 4 modules included. other most software projects do not use all modern microcontrollers and left unused, while there may be shortage modules. Another problem that has become especially noticeable for used field IoT cryptographic protection data transmitted through built-in information exchange interfaces. The main efforts researchers developers methods were aimed at reducing energy-intensive operations, memory access iterations speeding up encryption processes maintaining high level enabling efficient distribution within networks. results. This paper presents an alternative approach manufacture part microcontrollers. authors propose configurable processor module based on MIPS architecture reduced instruction set capabilities. Conclusions. would make dynamically change functionality accordance requirements developed solution, which turn will efficiency microcontroller chips capabilities utilization. In addition, transfer stream functions reconfigurable core provide fast transparent protection, well allow offloading increasing energy production cost.
