【 摘 要 】

Power and energy consumption is an essential design constraint for passive embedded mobile devices. These devices, e.g. smart cards, do not contain an integrated power supply and often provide onlylimited resources. Such devices can be designed with traditional methods due to their low complexity, but integrated HW/SW co-design methodologies enable the gain of system-level optimization. This paper presentsthe abstraction of smart card designs to optimize system architecture and memory system. Functiona-level,transactional-level, and cycle-accurate models are presented and discussed. The proposed design flow andresults of the evaluation are depicted.
