A dedicated system-on-chip (SoC) integrates as much functionality as possible in a single chip and thereby allows miniaturisation of portable medical systems, while optimising performance and power consumption. Today's feature-rich semiconductor process technology platforms Smean that SoC based solutions also optimise the cost and reliability of the overall system by reducing the number of components that are employed.
