hi everyone........

What does "WRAPPER" in ASIC refre to?....

And what does it infer ..........

thanks...........
 

wrapper is a package which is used to convert one interface to another interface or convert one data format to another format, etc. For example, if you have an IP using AMBA bus interface, but your design does not use it, then you need an AMBA wrapper to change it to your actual bus interface to integrate your IP

sometimes u need to write some interface to the tools in perl or tcl to customize the asic design tools to your requirement, these interfaces over the tools are called wrappers
 

in my opinion, warpper is, if we have a AXI interface, but i don't want all AXI transfer are to AXI INTERCONNECTION, and some of AXI transfer should go to another bus depending address, so i need design a wrapper to seperate AXI transfer to different destination.

from my understanding, a wrapper is a hierarchy logic level to provide input and

output control for low hierarchy level core, much like a book cover.

If that's the case then I would say "wrapper" is not strictly an ASIC term, but more a more general SoC term.

There are many definitions for wrappers



VHDL Code to Verilog wrapper to integrate at top level or vice versa.

IP Wrappers (In order to mask unnedded signals)

Memory Wrappers

Hard Macro wrappers
