This book deals with a practical approach to defining a system on a chip (SoC) architecture. It is written by practicing industry experts with cumulative five decades of hands-on experience. The book discusses how the system-level design challenges are addressed at the architecture stage and clearly defines different SoC subsystems and components. The book explains the practical method of determining system subsystems in system architectures. 

System on Chip (SOC) Architecture: A Practical Approach provides readers with a complete understanding of methods for defining SoC architecture.

Provides the most up-to-date information on current SOCs and architectural insights for the design of future semiconductor systems; Explores concepts such as parallelism, pipelining, data-driven or instruction-driven, and event-driven systems and their respective tradeoffs in SOC architectures; Provides a practical approach to defining SOC architecture with real case studies.
