The design concept of embedded gate array SoC is proposed in this article . The mass production cost of SoC following this design concept can be very cheap The components of the SoC are embedded p rocessor , standardl I/O interface , and embedded gate array The embedded processor architecture is designed by a configurable concept module and can be customized for the targeted market Rich development enVironment is supported for software development In the point of design flow , the SoC is composed of two parts : standard cells part and embedded gate array part Embedded processor , memory controller , and UART controller are placed into standard cells part with higher frequency and higher gates utilization . Product cUStomized cjrcuits are placed into embedded gate array part with design flexibility . The SoC can be mass p roduced with very low cost as well as fast turnaround because only the masks of embedded gate array part will be reproduced .
