SoC Overview

In this lesson on “On-die Power Integrity,” we will cover the foundation of On-Chip Power Integrity, starting with an in-depth overview of System-on-Chip (SoC) technology. The lesson highlights the significance of Moore's Law in shaping the SoC landscape and its impact on chip design. It further introduces key terminology used in chip design and uses an urban analogy to explain the Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) design flow. The lesson also explores the transformation brought about by SoC in electronic devices, discussing its benefits, applications, and real-world impact, particularly in wearables. It then delves into the implications, challenges, and adaptations related to Moore's Law, and ends with a detailed walkthrough of ASIC design flow.
