Proposed South Bridge Subsystem Architecture for MID So Cs
Abstract
The proliferation of smart mobile internet devices (MIDs) has transformed the way we communicate with the outside world. The ever-growing ubiquity of MID emphasizes the need for robust and advanced system-on-chip (SoC) architectures. At the core of these architectures lies the south bridge subsystem, a key component that orchestrates critical SoC functionalities. The south bridge not only implements the lower bandwidth IO in a system but also provides access to the non-volatile BIOS memory used to store system configuration data. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive exploration of the south bridge subsystem designed specifically for MID SoCs, addressing the evolving demands of the mobile computing landscape.
