Shi, Feng. (Lehigh University) “Signal processing techniques and applications” (2015), Advisor: Yan, Zhiyuan As the technologies scaling down, more transistors can be fabricated into the same area, which enables the integration of many components into the same substrate, referred to as system-on-chip (SoC). The components on SoC are connected by on-chip global interconnects.
