With the growth of System on a Chip (SoC), the functionality of analog components must also be considered in the design process. This paper describes some of the design implementation partitioning issues and experiences using analog and digital techniques for embedded systems. To achieve a quick turn around for new embedded system development, a design methodology was extended for analog codesign based on the specify-explorerefine paradigm and system-level design methodology [3]. Many system-level issues were addressed including hardware/software codesign trade-offs. Keywords Hardware/Software Codesign, Analog, Design Methodologies.
