SoC

System on Chip (SoC) — An integrated circuit that integrates all components of a computer or other electronic system into a single chip.

System on Chip (SoC)

A System on a Chip (SoC) creates a complete computer system on a single substrate. It integrates the CPU, memory, GPU, modems, and peripheral interfaces.

SoC FPGA

An SoC FPGA (like AMD Zynq or Intel Agilex) combines a hard processor system (ARM) with programmable logic (FPGA) on a single die. This allows:

  1. Hardware Acceleration: The CPU offloads intensive tasks (FFT, encryption, neural nets) to the FPGA fabric.
  2. Flexibility: The I/O peripherals can be redefined in software.
  3. Integration: Reduced board size and power consumption.

Inovasense specializes in SoC FPGA designs for Linux-based embedded systems requiring real-time acceleration.
