From the start of the innovation of integratedcircuits (ICs), the number ofavailable transistors on one chip has increased everyyear with approximately60 percent (Moores Law). It is predicted that thistrend will continue at least forthe next ten years. Another trend is to integrateseveral system components,such as memories and processors on one chip. This isdenoted as System on Chip (SoC).
