Developing trends of SOC and embedded system

摘要

The Soc is a new form of embedded system, which integrates microprocessor, analog IP cores, digital IP core and memory (or off-chip memory, controller interface) on a single chip. It is usually customized (CSIC) or a standard product for particular purposes (ASSP). It successfully integrate the hardware integrated circuits and embedded software, which can implement the computer system functions, on a silicon chip, and it belongs to the emerging crossdisciplinary for computer and microelectronics. Soc represents a new generation of technology development of embedded processor, its design technology provides an opportunity for computer professionals to be involved in IC design area. And SOC design is still hot now in application, design and, other areas like microelectronics technology.
