SYSTEM-ON-CHIP (SoC) AND USE OF VLSI CIRCUIT DESIGN TECHNOLOGY

VLSI chip
Integration of high-level components Possess gate-level sophistication in circuits above that of the counter, register, multiplier, floating point operation unit and ALU.

System on chip (SoC) a new design innovation SoC is a system on a VLSI chip that has all needed analog as well as digital circuits, processors and software, for example, single-chip mobile phone

New Innovation Example Mobile Phone on a SoC

Other logic and analog units.

SoC

IPs in SoC
IP a standard source solution for synthesizing a higher-level component by configuring a core of VLSI circuit or FPGA core available as an Intellectual Property, called (IP). High Level Components with gate level sophistication circuit much above level of counters and registers. Designer or designing company holds the copyright for the synthesized design of a higher-level component for gate-level implementation of an IP. One might have to pay royalty for every chip shipped. An embedded system may incorporate several IPs.

IPs in SoC
An IP may provide a design for adaptive filtering of a signal. full design for implementing Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to transmit a web page or file on Internet. USB port controller, Bluetooth, GPS interface, Wireless 802.11or 802.16 interfaces

FPGA Core
An FPGA consists of a large number of programmable gates on a VLSI chip. There is a set of gates in each FPGA cell, called 'macro cell'. Embedded system designed with a view of offering enhancing functionalities in future, then FPGA core can be used in the circuits. Each cell has several inputs and outputs. All cells interconnect like an array (matrix). Each interconnection is programmable through the associated memory RAM in a FPGA programming tool. A concept is using FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) core along with single or multiple processors.
