SoC Design

SoC and SoC-based designs become popular day by day. It became a major sub area within embedded systems development. transistor >> Integrated circuit(IC) >> Functional block (FSM)>> IP >> SoC

SoC : Snapdragon 810 : Apple 12 :: Exynos 4720

Advantages:

• Space
• Power
• Performance
• cost
• Reliability
• Security

Disadvantages:

• Single point of failure
• NRE cost is higher
• Much more difficult to design/verify/test.

SoC design is based on HW/SW co-design.

Traditional SoCs: As like snapdragon, apple.
