Programmable System-on-Chip for Silicon Prototyping

Circular sensing networks for guided waves based structural health monitoring

“…However, in order to process the registered signals, a computer with MATLAB s software is needed which results in additional costs that are related to licence for this software. Better solutions especially for embedded SHM are electronic systems using microcontrollers or SoPC (System on Programmable Chip, sometimes called PSoC Programmable System-on-Chip) [49,50] based on FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) units with software developed in C or Cþ þ language [51].…”

Adaptative ECT system based on reconfigurable electronics

“…In this system, the acquisition electronics is developed using a Programmable System on Chip (PSoC) that allows to implement both digital and analog blocks, including a microcontroller unit (MCU) and memory elements [19].

A modularized 3D heterogeneous system integration platform

“…Comparing with the silicon areas of the projects/designs, the silicon areas of user's IPs or special hardware accelerator designs are smaller than platform elements which include processor, memory, bus, controller, or I/O. In order to reduce the fabrication silicon areas cost of SoC implementation, an innovative Multi-Project System-ona-Chip (MP-SoC) design service model was developed [2]. The MP-SoC can greatly reduce the fabrication silicon area cost, but it is impractical to integrate the heterogeneous designs into a single system and the additional efforts of isolation mechanism need to be taken to prevent the interfaces from other SoC projects in MP-SoC design.…”
