  • Abstract
    Partitioning considerations for systems that contain digital, analog, and memory components are discussed. Optimal partitioning requires consideration of the product features and performance, market size and share of that market, the product life cycle, system price, system cost, and manufacturing capability. The system specification should quantify each of these items. The system specification is a guide for partitioning the system. The optimal partitioning meets all system specifications at the lowest total system cost
