Explore the evolution of system-on-chip technology in the context of silicon process advancements, design automation challenges, and market demands. Learn about SOC design components and applications in state-of-the-art micro systems.
E N D
Why System-on-Chip • Continuous progress in silicon process technology • The explosive growth in the consumer electronics products.
Why System-on-Chip (contd…) • Although silicon process technology continues to evolve at an accelerated pace. • The design automation technology are now seen as the major technical barriers to progress, and • This productivity gap is increasing rapidly.
The market-driven forces that change the way IC are designed: • Shrinking product design schedule and product life span • Conforming products to various standards. • Lack of time for products iterations due to implementation errors: a failure to hit market windows equals product death • Converging communications and computing into single products and chipset.
What is System-On-Chip • SOC = A complex IC that integrates the major functional elements of a complete end-product into a single ship or chipset.
What is System-On-Chip (contd …) • In general, SOC design consists of: • Programmable processors • On-chip memory • Acceleration function units implemented in hardware • Analog/Mixed Signal • Micro/Nano electronics mechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS)
What is System-On-Chip (contd …) • In this course, we will learn how to design system on a chip in efficient way, reduce design error.
