Portable multimedia SoC design: a global challenge

- The intrinsic capability brought by each new technology node opens the way to a broad range of system integration options and continuously enables new applications to be integrated in a single device to the point that almost everything seems possible. In reality the difference between a successful design and a failure resides today more then ever in the ability of the design team to properly master all the critical design factors at once. In essence, today’s System on Chip design represent a multidiscipline challenge that spans from Architecture through Design to Test and finally mass production. SoC design for portable applications has to cope with very unique constraints that normally greatly challenge the ability of an organization and most of the times of an entire Company to fully master its industrialization capabilities and pushes concurrent design to new limits. In the end, only a well thought out Architecture followed by best practices design techniques with a high level o...
