Embedded - System On Chip abbreviated as SOC is an electronic integrated circuit that integrates the whole functions of a computer or other information communication system mounted onto one microchip-typically embedded in wireless routers, smartphones, tablets, wearable tech, and the system-on-chip role that improves complicated computing required for many tiny devices. In comparison to the traditional or manual motherboard format of computer system architecture. Moreover, they are allowed to be detached and operation-specific devices to be included and eliminated. Thus, some unusual fault tolerant devices removed from a central interrupting circuit board, SOCs combine them and function as a standalone circuit.
Enrgtech offers a range of SOCs from prominent brands, incorporating Cypress Semiconductor, Nordic Semiconductor, STMicroelectronics, and many more.
What is in a System-on-Chip?
Depending on its intended usage, a system-on-chip may contain a variety of components that would generally be found on a motherboard-based circuit. The following are usually included in the broad breakdown:
- The CPU - Which stands for central processing unit, is responsible for ensuring strong logic, arithmetic operation, monitoring, and input/output operations.
- The GPU - Stands for the graphical processing unit responsible for manufacturing the whole pictures on the component, ensuring photos and videos are entertaining, games are entertaining, and so on.
- RAM - Random access memory is usually employed to record function signals and machine or binary code, which are used to operate applications and software.
- ROM - Read-Only Memory is a kind of non-volatile memory that is used to store data, usually referred to as firmware, that is typically unmodified throughout the system's lifespan. After the memory device has been created, its data cannot be electronically changed.
- The Modem - In contrast to satellite networks, radio modems are used to wirelessly transfer data; in smart devices like smartphones and tablets, the modem will be in charge of connections to 3G and 4G networks.
What are System-on-Chips Used For?
Mobile computing and electronic gadgets like smartphones and tablets frequently contain system-on-chips. They can also be found in devices in the burgeoning Internet of Things sector as well as embedded systems like Wi-Fi routers (IoT). They are excellent for use in these small applications because of their low power consumption and compact size. On a single chip, they might integrate radio frequency, mixed-signal, digital, and analog functionalities.
