Paper Title:

System on Chip Technology

Abstract:

     This paper presents one of the fast growing technologies in Very Large scale Integration, System-on-Chip (SoC). SoC designs make available, on a single silicon Integrated Circuit, embedded IP (Intellectual Property) and high-level integration at the chip level required for performance and efficiency demanding applications. It also describes System-On-Chip designs from the perspective of semiconductor processing and integration methodologies and intellectual property core technologies. Details of the market trend, latest development in the field of SoCs like CSoCs (Configurable SoCs) and research in educational institutions are elaborated. A Case study based on Verisilicon’s SMIC 0.18um USB 2.0 Smart Repeater is also discussed.

     Practical case studies involving the integration of the embedded systems, design methodologies on the Windows and Linux platforms would also be discussed and the results and comparisons will be presented.
