SoC Design Issues

1.2. SoC Design Issues

·         Architectural complexity has manufolded due to significant advancement in technolgy.

·         Deed submicron and nanometer technological fabrication processes are very much sensitive to variations in process, voltage and temperature.

·         System verification and integration challenges are increasing as analog/RF, digital hardware, non-electrical parts such as sensors, actuators etc are becoming part of SoC.

·         Normal ASIC design methodology is itelf too costly for SoC. Cost to develop is very high.
