"The autonomous chip, the step beyond system on a chip (SOC)"

The current system on a chip implementations actually represent ensemble of
memory and heterogeneous processors tailored for specific control functions.
The "system" components; battery, RF communications, image detection, sound
recognition and response are on other die and components. They are generally
relegated to special analog chips and components. It ought to be possible to
integrate these transducers, filters and actuators onto a common chip
substrate. We examine the possibilities.
