SoC Vs SoM : System On Chip Vs System On Module

 

A System on Chip or SoC is a key component in Embedded Systems today. An SoC refers to a single chip or IC with a completely electronic or computer system fabricated. It usually integrates a CPU, GPU, DSP, memory, I/Os, and external interfaces such as USB and analog input and output blocks. This way, an SoC has everything needed to function like an independent system except for a power supply. It can be soldered on a motherboard with power circuitry and relevant external interfaces.
