Abstract
Disclosed is an IP module for an SOC which brings easiness in designing system architecture and integration. The IP module of the invention includes a controller for generating a control signal for IP module with reference to a handshake signal and sending a control signal which leads the IP module to process input data in response to handshake signal; and a data processor generating output data and a modified handshake signal after processing a handshake signal and input data under the control of the controller. The present invention makes it possible to design an IP module that is easily reusable and optimized in architecture, lightening effort and time for designing and verifying an SOC by means of the proposed IP module.
