During design creation the main points to consider are:

• Achieving the desired functionality
• Operating at the desired frequency
• Operating with the desired degree of reliability
• Fitting within the silicon resource and power budget

Working with IP

Planning IP requirements is an important stage in every project.

• Available IP options must be evaluated against required functionality to determine whether: Custom logic design makes more sense compared to available cores.
• Interface requirements must be evaluated for memories, networks, and peripherals.
• While designing custom IP use the industry-standard IP-XACT format as much as possible to ensure that designs can be shared easily.
