System on Chips

A system-on-a-chip (also system-on-chip) combines the essential system components on a single chip, so it integrates different circuit parts. Although the designs are slightly different for each developer, the most important components of single-chip systems are always the main processor, graphics processor, memory and modem. An SoC thus represents the basis of the device hardware. The reason for the development of such chipsets is that in wearables, for example, there is naturally much less space available for the system components. The main advantage of Snapdragon chips is their versatility. The higher the chipset number, the more power it has. The Snapdragon models are considered very energy-efficient compared with other SoCs, so devices equipped with a Snapdragon chipset have a very long battery life. Snapdragon processors are predominantly installed in Android devices. These chipsets are also found in consumer electronics and embedded systems for the automotive industry: for processing data and signals or for control, monitoring and regulation tasks.
