Changing Forces in Design Decisions
 90nm technology changes the rules….
 Product lifecycles shrinking faster…..
Rapid processor performance increases coupled with exploding
NRE’s
dictate that
programmable devices will take a larger share of the SOC
function
These require a change in design approach…

Key Questions for Solutions Options
1. Can it perform the application?
 Performance, power, feature set, etc.
2. Can it meet the cost needs for the market?
 Combination of NRE, unit, and opportunity costs
3. Can I get it to market early?
 Or at least early enough
At the core of the user experience.TM
Increasingly,
Programmable Solutions
are the Answers
Why?
Standard, programmable cores
increasingly address all three issues as
performance grows rapidly.
