SoC and IP

SoC (System-on-Chip)

Tackles the provisioning of complex and application-specific, multifunctional processors.

The major functional components of a complete end-product are integrated into a single chip.

Structure

An SoC usually contains.

• Processors

• Intellectual property (IP) modules

  • Namely security IPs

• Memory elements (RAM, ROM, etc.)

• Buses

Intellectual property (IP) modules

Pre-designed, reusable electronic components for hardware chips.
