Obecné složení

Z většího hlediska SOC obsahuje:

1.Logická jádra zahrnují CPU, hodinové obvody, časovače, řadiče přerušení, sériová a paralelní rozhraní, ostatní periferie, I/Oporty a lepicí logiku mezi různými IP jádry atd. atd.;

2.Paměťové jádro zahrnuje různé nestálé, energeticky nezávislé a mezipaměti;

3. Analogové jádro zahrnuje ADC, DAC, PLL a některé vysokorychlostní obvody používané v analogovém obvodu.
