Abstract :
A top-down methodology that emphasizes modular, upgradable designs solves some problems with the current design process for application-specific signal processors. Virtual prototyping, model year architectures, and reuse-based design form the pillars of this new approach, which promises to raise industrial design productivity and competitiveness
