甚麼是晶片系統(SOC)? § An So. C contains: • Portable /Reusable IPs • Embedded CPU • Embedded Memory • Real World Interfaces (USB, PCI, Ethernet) • Software (both on-chip and off) • Mixed-signal Blocks • Programmable HW (FPGAs) Embedded Systems Design • > 500 K gates § Technology: 0. 25 m and below P/C µ § Not an ASIC ! Memory Embedded Software Analog SOC Firmware CORE 國立中正大學 晶片系統研究中心

Why CS students need SOC? u SOC 領域在資訊系的發展 èSystem on chip + IC design èCover areas: Architecture, Embedded system, VLSI design, Real-time systems u 產業面 m. IC設計為國家目前重點發展產業 m. System-on-chip (SOC) 造就資訊背景人才很大的發展空 間 m. SOC對 IP core 設計的大量需求 CPU core, DSP, network processor, video/audio processor, Security m. IA 的發展需要System 與Hardware密切的整合 國立中正大學 晶片系統研究中心
