| Abstract | Most of today’s most exciting new electronic products are not single-function, standalone devices, but rather are multi-function system devices, composed of subsystems, and connected into even larger systems. Being at the core of any electronic system, the semiconductor technology is going through a sea change where tackling the traditional semiconductor issues such as timing, power, and performance becomes insufficient. Additional challenges include time-to-market, functional partitioning, communications protocols, IP selection, hardware-software verification, reliability, safety, and many others. In this presentation, the presenter will summarize the design challenges and highlight some solutions for system design enablement in this increasingly complex environment. |
