Creating High-Performance SoCs Using NoC Technology

Creating High-Performance SoCs Using NoC Technology

Years ago, a system-on-chip (SoC) with one million transistors was considered a large device, but today, SoCs with up to one billion transistors are common. Driven by Moore’s Law and the continuous reduction in process sizes, to further meet the performance requirements of applications, the integration of SoC chips has become increasingly high, and system … Read more

SOC Estimation Methods for Electric Vehicle Batteries

The definition of SOC (state of charge) varies widely, but a more unified international definition is based on capacity, representing the remaining capacity of the battery with SOC, which numerically equals the ratio of the remaining capacity Q to the maximum available capacity Qmax. SOC estimation is one of the key technologies in battery management … Read more
