System on a Chip
Formal
A system on a chip (SoC) is an integrated circuit (IC) that integrates all components of a computer or other electronic system into a single chip. SOC's may contain digital, analog, mixed-signal, and often radio-frequency functions―all on a single chip substrate.
Practical
SOC's may contain digital, analog, mixed-signal, and often radio-frequency functions―all on a single chip substrate. SoCs are very common in the mobile electronics market because of their low power consumption. SoCs are very common in the mobile electronics market as of their low power consumption. A typical application is in the area of embedded systems.
