400;\">A System-on-Chip (SoC) is an integrated circuit that combines multiple hardware components onto a single silicon chip to perform the functions of an entire electronic system.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than assembling different chips for the processor, memory controller, graphics, communication interfaces, and security modules, engineers integrate them into one highly optimized device.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An SoC typically includes:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"
