Today's competitive consumer-driven markets demand feature-rich capabilities to ensure market success. With the rising demand for new, higher-performance applications based on new technologies, manufacturers face increasing bill-of-materials (BOM) costs. Clearly, there must be some new ways to reduce material costs. When designing many portable-systems, what are new ways to integrate functionality and achieve their cost and footprint goals? A handful of industry luminaries will examine the complexity and costs related to front-end design and verification compared to manufacturing in this SoC era.
