Logic circuit module having power consumption control interface and a recording medium storing the module

摘要

Consumption power control is provided for a system LSI made of a combination of a plurality of reusable logic circuit modules, i.e., Intellectual Property (IP) cores. Hardware resources such as interfaces and registers for the consumption power control of other IP cores are prepared and controlled by software for the consumption power control of a system LSI. The consumption power can be controlled at an IP core level. A method is provided which facilitates a system LSI designer to enter a consumption power control specification of a system LSI when the system LSI is configured.
