Editing System on a chip (section)

=== Embedded systems ===
Where previously only microcontrollers could be used, SoCs are rising to prominence in the embedded systems market. Tighter system integration offers better reliability and [[Mean time between failures|mean time between failure]], and SoCs offer more advanced functionality and computing power than microcontrollers.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.embedded.com/design/mcus-processors-and-socs/4419584/Is-a-single-chip-SOC-processor-right-for-your-embedded-project-|title=Is a single-chip SOC processor right for your embedded project?|work=Embedded|access-date=2018-10-13|language=en}}</ref> Applications include [[AI accelerator|AI acceleration]], embedded [[machine vision]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.imveurope.com/news/qualcomm-launches-socs-embedded-vision|title=Qualcomm launches SoCs for embedded vision {{!}} Imaging and Machine Vision Europe|website=www.imveurope.com|language=en|access-date=2018-10-13}}</ref> [[data collection]], [[telemetry]], [[vector processing]] and [[ambient intelligence]]. Often embedded SoCs target the [[internet of things]], multimedia, networking, telecommunications and [[edge computing]] markets. Some examples of SoCs for embedded applications include the [[STMicroelectronics]] [[STM32]], the [[Raspberry Pi Ltd]] [[RP2040]], and the [[AMD]] [[Zynq 7000]].
