System on a Chip (SoC)

About System on a Chip (SoC)

System on a chip (SoC) devices are semiconductor chips with embedded components that enable the chip to function as standalone system. They incorporate a microprocessor or microcontroller, memory, and interface. System on a chip (SoC) products are used in cell phones for radio frequency (RF) and wireless communications. They are also used to provide multimedia, text messaging, Internet access, and input/output (I/O) logic control. Manufacturers of system on a chip (SoC) products are located around the world. They conform to a variety of regulatory requirements and quality standards.

System on a chip (SoC) devices are reliable, customizable, and relatively cost-effective. The heart of systems on a chip technology is a microprocessor core or microcontroller core. System on a chip (SoC) products are relatively small, but used widely in network access and security systems; heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems; home automation applications; and CNC program control. Microprocessor cores or microcontroller cores contain programmable memory technology in memory blocks that communicate through channels. Because system on a chip (SoC) devices are programmable, they are suitable for intelligent applications and application specific integrated circuits (ASIC).
