Wireless SoC Market

Wireless Soc Market: Introduction

• A system on a chip (SoC) is a single integrated chip (IC) that contains all of the components found in a typical computer system. I/O ports (input/output), CPUs (central processing units), RAM (random access memory), and memory are all examples of SoCs. SoCs are typically designed to be efficient in terms of low power consumption and size.
• Wireless SoCs (System on Chips) have achieved a significant level of integration in the last few years. SoCs bring a new degree of design complexity to the table. Consequently, SystemC is becoming a standard language for continuous and mixed discrete event / continuous time systems, as well as a standard for digital system architecture. A major design challenge is supporting application-specific optimization in a very flexible way. Typical design goals are compactness, low power consumption, and flexibility to meet a wide range of application goals.
• Applications for SoCs appear to be nearly limitless, spanning from healthcare IoT to smart home technology. Tablets, smartphones, netbooks, and other smart gadgets are the most popular usage of SoCs. These devices exhibit how the SoC can deliver crucial general-purpose computing capabilities while consuming less power and taking up less space.
• Components for wireless IoT SoCs:
  • Wireless capability integration entails merging analogue, digital, and RF circuits with mixed signals in a single integrated circuit
• The following are the major components of a typical ultra-low power wireless SoC, such as the GS1011.
  • Power management
  • Digital baseband processor
  • On-chip SRAM memory
  • On-chip flash memory
  • Applications processor
  • Connectivity such as 802.11b radio
  • Media access controller (MAC)
• When selecting a SoC IoT chip for a certain application, there are numerous factors to consider. Power consumption, physical device size, data speed, latency, and other factors are among them.
• The three most important considerations are the power, range, and data rate. These parameters are linked in some way because the data rate and range are protocol dependent.
• In each application, the SoC must support the appropriate wireless protocol, which must be compatible with the IoT application and network. Therefore, the data rate and range are affected.
• While the protocol determines the distance, the IoT system designer must also consider the available space and battery energy to sufficiently power the RF module and other components in the chip. Primarily, there must be enough power available for the device to reach its intended range.
• The efficiency of the RF portion, the sensitivity of the receiver, and the energy consumption of the other components are all aspects that influence the SoC power requirements in a typical application.
• When using the SoC, there may be other difficulties to consider. In practice, combining digital and analogue circuitry poses various difficulties. Developers frequently make compromises to maintain reliability and performance, such as operating with reduced transmit power and receive sensitivity.
• These SoC capabilities enable direct connectivity to wireless networks, decreased implementation costs, simplicity of integration, prolonged battery life, and rapid deployment when employed in IoT applications.
