Abstract

This paper describes a 32-bit RISC processor, which has instruction level compatibility with the ARM7 microprocessor. The processor is fully synthesizable, and its performance is evaluated based on 0.35-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS library. This paper focuses on the implementation of the processor and the reliable verification strategy ensuring the complete instruction level compatibility. The processor has successfully verified using a FPGA chip.
