In today's extremely large-scaled integrated circuits, IC designs are now the system. Almost all IC designs are SOC (system of the chip) level of complexity. In order to successfully complete these large design projects, design re-use and use of IP provided by 3rd parties is a must. hd Lab's Design Style Guide is packed with proven techniques,know-how and design rules that will lead to successful SOC projects, design re-use initiatives and IP development.
As of December 19th 2003, sale of Design Style Guide will be terminated.
We appreciate your interest and support of this product.
The Design Style Guide can be purchased in two ways:
1) Printed material
2) Corporate License
