Integrating diverse IP cores into a single System on Chip (SoC) is critical in modern design, involving both digital and analog components. Key challenges include interface compatibility, power management, timing synchronization, and ensuring signal integrity. To address these challenges, techniques such as using system interconnects, implementing multi-voltage domains, and rigorous verification processes are essential for successful integration.
