Maintaining Low-power Consumption is Critical to Drive Wireless Internet on a Chip Technology15 December 2005
The challenge for wireless device manufacturers lies in developing handheld devices that offer an array of services while maintaining power-efficiency and offering high-performance.
"Convergence of computing capabilities and communication protocols has resulted in the development of devices with enhanced functionalities and capabilities. Providing a range of functions at a low cost while maintaining the reliability and compatibility of existing systems and devices is a major challenge today," says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Vedavalli Rangan. "As devices become more complex with numerous features, it is of prime importance to find out ways to extract more power from the batteries."

Moreover, the circuit complexity that comes with the use of isolated application specific chips, as found in traditional systems, is compelling chip manufacturers to focus on curbing power dissipation right at the design stage.
The emergence of wireless communications with embedded intelligence is playing an important role in reducing power consumption.
The elimination of delays due to the absence of buses for interchip communications as seen in System on Chip (SoC) designs considerably improve device performance.
The SoC design that follows Moore's Law consists of the microprocessor, the digital signal processor that runs the embedded software, the memories and application specific chips, and other peripherals, all in one single chip.
SoC basically allows chip manufacturers to reduce the extra cost incurred in the design and fabrication of application-specific chips by integrating the entire system functionality on a single chip along with the core processor components.
Despite the many benefits of SoC, various design level challenges are present due to the lack of specific standards for implementation. There is a need for tools that can perform system-level verification in a virtual environment before entering the actual manufacturing cycle.
Manufacturers are now working toward developing energy efficient chips by increasing the speed. Instead of SoC solutions, System-in-Package (SiP) solutions that come with necessary software are expected to gain in popularity as they eliminate problems relating to vendor interoperability.
