DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SEARCHING OUT IP FUNCTION OF SEMICONDUCTOR

摘要

PURPOSE: A device and a method for searching out an IP(Intellectual Property) function of a semiconductor are provided to perform the SOC(System On Chip) design quickly or in a proper time by automatically searching out the function from the semiconductor IP receiving for designing the SOC. CONSTITUTION: A design data input part(100) receives a data sheet and an HDL(Hypertext Delivery Language) code of the semiconductor IP, and corrects an error if a non-identical part is searched out by comparing the data sheet and the HDL code with each format. A function searcher(120) matches a function sentence and a comment for the same function as a pair by searching out each sentence of the data sheet and comparing the sentence with the comment including a waveform extracted from the HDL code. A function sentence storage(140) and a function waveform storage(160) respectively store the function sentence and the waveform received from the function searcher. A function sentence display part(180) and a function waveform sentence display part(200) display the semiconductor IP function by including at least function sentence from the function sentence and the matched waveform.
