System on chip (SoC) refers to an integrated circuit that consolidates various computer or electronic system components onto a single chip. It finds extensive use in a variety of electronic devices due to advantages such as reduced power consumption, smaller form factors, lower cost, and enhanced performance compared to systems built from separate components.
The primary types of system on chip include digital system on chips, mixed-signal system on chips, and analog system on chips. Digital system on chips integrate multiple digital functions such as processing, memory, and input/output interfaces onto a single chip. They are employed in applications such as home appliances, portable electronic devices, advanced driver assistance systems, medical devices, radio-frequency devices, power-electronic devices, wired and wireless communication devices, wearable devices, and others across industries such as consumer electronics, automotive and transportation, information technology (IT) and telecommunication, aerospace and defense, healthcare, power and utility, and more.
