Embedded - System On Chip (SoC)

Category Introduction

Devices in the System-on-Chip family combine on one device substrate several computing system components which traditionally would be implemented as separate devices, such as a general-purpose microprocessor, an FPGA co-processor, and a graphics controller for generation of display data. While limited amounts of data storage resources may also be incorporated, the provision of an interface to external storage devices is typical.

About System On Chip (SoC)

What are System On Chip (SoC)?

System On Chip (SoC)

A System On Chip (SoC) is an integrated circuit that consolidates all the essential components of a computer or other electronic systems onto a single chip. These components typically include a central processing unit (CPU), memory, input/output ports, and secondary storage interfaces. SoCs are designed to perform specific tasks efficiently by integrating various functionalities into a compact form factor, reducing power consumption and physical space requirements. They operate by executing instructions stored in memory, processing data through the CPU, and communicating with peripheral devices, all while managing power distribution and thermal conditions.

Types of System On Chip (SoC)

1. Application-Specific SoCs
