Welcome to the Battery Perspective! Previously, we introduced various electrode materials, battery manufacturing processes, and battery analysis content, mainly focusing on material manufacturers and cell manufacturers, with little introduction to battery applications. This section mainly discusses issues such as SOC and SOH in battery applications. The state of charge (SOC) of lithium-ion batteries is very … Read more
The A17 Pro leaves us with impressions of3nm and 19 billion transistors. Today, from CT scans to TEM slices, from FinFET cross-sections to DRAM wire bonding, even the 17 layers of metal interconnects have been meticulously measured. A total of 158 microscopic images answer one fundamental question: What is the cost of an A17 Pro … Read more
The most commonly used main chips in automotive controllers are MCUs and SOCs. Traditional vehicles primarily use MCUs, while smart vehicles, due to the increasing number of functions, are gradually starting to use SOCs. For example, the architecture commonly used in domain controllers is MCU + SOC. So, what exactly is the difference between MCU … Read more
Some say that chef training is useless, and some question the relationship between chip engineers and apprentices, Jingxin believes that these precisely expose the same problem—whether the industry is heading towards “hollowing out” in the name of “efficiency”? Just as the controversy over Xibei’s pre-prepared dishes is astonishingly similar to the SoC design model that … Read more
With the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and 5G technology, the security video surveillance industry is undergoing an unprecedented transformation towards intelligence. As the core component of video surveillance systems, the performance of System on Chip (SoC) directly affects the device’s image processing capabilities, AI computing power, and energy … Read more
Recently released data on China’s electricity consumption for July 2025 shows that the total electricity consumption in our country reached 1,022.6 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 8.6%. This is the first time in history that a single country has exceeded 1 trillion kWh in a month, setting a new height in the history of … Read more

The challenge for IC design engineers and verification engineers is how to quickly and accurately verify the correctness of these IP functions. … Read more
The PMU (Power Management Unit) is responsible for supplying power to the SoC (System on Chip), regulating voltage and current to ensure the normal operation of various modules. Power integrity is crucial for ensuring that the Power Distribution Network (PDN) can provide stable and clean voltage and current, avoiding noise interference with the normal operation … Read more
1 SoC Concept System on Chip vs. System on PCB: The essence is to evolve the process technology to transform a module into an internal module. SoC aims for high integration and miniaturization within a single chip. SoC serves as the core, and it is certainly expanded and connected through PCB. System on PCB seeks … Read more
Recently, Dan Haagman, the founder and CEO of Chaleit, has deeply reflected on the effectiveness of Security Operations Centers (SOCs), leading him to propose a potentially uncomfortable viewpoint: despite companies investing millions to build SOCs and deploying cutting-edge detection technologies, data breaches continue to rise at an alarming rate. Based on observations of large enterprises … Read more
