• In some cases. the best technical choices may not be the best choices when all things are considered
• Electronics products. like most products, go through life cycles
When vje start a design project. we must be aware of technology trends and make projections to determine the appropriate technology for the futurę manufacture of our product.
preparation for manufacture of a product
• Architecture exploration is the process of modeling and evaluating candidate designs at a high level of abstraction
• Components may be implemented through IP reuse or by core generatora
• Software and hardware can be tested together using cosimulation
• Testability of a Circuit can be enhanced by adding test hardware
• Various nontechnical issues affect the design process, induding business and life-cycle considerations.
