The description of the product's architecture: its main blocks, how functions are allocated, the interfaces between blocks and the reasons behind key choices.
Architecture Work product in the FPGA-based product development lifecycle and the Industrial and energy electronics lifecycle
It gives every discipline one consistent picture of the product to design against, so blocks are not designed to different assumptions that fail at integration. In the FPGA lifecycle it drives pin-out, IP choice and verification; in the industrial lifecycle it also carries the safety and isolation structure used by the safety concept.
