System on Chip(SoC):
A system on a chip
or system on chip
(SoC or SOC) is an
integrated circuit
(IC) that integrates
all components of a
computer or other
electronic system
into a single chip.
3. 3
A typical SoC consists of:
• A microcontroller, microprocessor or DSP
core(s).
• Memory blocks
• Peripherals
• External interfaces including industry standards
such as USB, FireWire, Ethernet
• Voltage regulators and power management
circuits.
6. 6

use cases such as gaming, audio playback,
navigation and photo/video capture.
9. 9
Power-Performance Paradox:
• Most mobile device architectures are designed
around a general purpose CPU.
• The CPU not only underperforms but also
consumes excessive power for today’s mobile use
cases.
• Relying on a power hungry CPU either
compromises battery life to offer good
performance or delivers substandard
experiences.

The Solution:
• NVidia's TEGRA Multi-Processor Architecture
• Use of a heterogeneous multi-processor
architecture .
