Reuse Methodology Manual for System-on-a-Chip Design, Third Edition outlines a set of best practices for creating reusable designs for use in an SoC design methodology. These practices are based on the author's experience in developing reusable designs, as well as experience of design teams in many companies around the world. Development methodology necessarily differs between system designers and processor designers, as well as between DSP developers and chipset developers. In response to this problem, designers have adopted team-based approach that emphasizes design reuse design. From this experience, design teams have realized that reuse-based design requires a clear methodology for developing reusable macros that are easy to integrate into SoC designs. Third Edition Features: Up to date, the State art, Reuse as a solution for circuit designers; A chronicle "best practices"; All chapters updated and revised, non-Generic tool specific guidelines; Emphasis on hard IP and physical design.
