7th International System-on-Chip (SoC) Conference

Multibillion transistor System-on-Chip (SoC) devices, comprised of several CPUs & DSPs, analog, optical, digital and Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), are integral parts of ubiquitous communication, entertainment, medical, digital consumer, automotive, military, etc., products.

Over the past 6 years, the International SoC Conference has established itself as the prime annual event for System-on-Chip and VLSI. The conference provides an outstanding platform for the sharing and dissemination of ground-breaking research, revolutionary product announcements, innovative technical tutorials and has established itself as the forum for debating emerging challenges in System-on-Chip, VLSI, and nano technologies. The seventh International SoC Conference, Exhibit, and Workshops will be held in Newport Beach, California, and will offer two days of technical presentations, tabletop exhibition, tutorials, and variety of technical workshops.
