Microprocessor Design Considerations

Practically speaking, almost anything can be a design consideration, from the computer silicon to the vehicle axle ratio. Some technical μP design considerations have been addressed in Jack Morgan's paper. The other papers in this lecture series cover the Ford and GM μP systems in detail. To avoid duplication, this paper is targeted on more general lines:

• Which design considerations are most important to achieve a successful product?
• How will these considerations affect the design implementation?
