Modeling of a Memory Interface Using Modeling Language

In recent years, modeling languages have been widely used for algorithm development and verification in embedded system design methodologies. Such languages allow behavior descriptions or structure descriptions to be expressed in a specification that is defined by a consistent set of designers. It is expected that modeling language-based designs can reduce development times without sacrificing quality. This paper presents a case study of the design of a memory interface algorithm for peripheral memory circuits using a modeling language. The results of the case study demonstrate that the number of lines of source code of the modeling language-based design flow has been reduced by 86% and 78% compared to a traditional register transfer language (RTL) and the C language, respectively.
