Abstract

This paper proposes a new design method called FORM (Frame-Oriented Representation Method) for digital telecommunication systems with the aiming of efficient system design and development. FORM has the unique feature wherein timing design and function design are performed independently. FORM can translate system-level specifications at the behavioral level into RTL. This method is applied to the SDH/ATM interface and it is proved that FORM relaxes design complications and simplifies system design.
