Abstract
The invention relates to a system-on-chip apparatus (1), comprising at least two electronic components (2, 3) serving for special purpose functions and a system bus (7) and at least one random access memory (9) that is integrated into the first electronic component (2), located in common on one substrate (8), wherein the system bus (7) connects the electronic components (2, 3) and wherein the random access memory (9) of the first electronic component (2) is time shareable to the second electronic component (3) via said system bus (7), and to a method for operating such a system-on-chip apparatus (1).
Claims12
A system-on-chip apparatus, comprising at least two electronic components serving for special purpose functions and a system bus and at least one random access memory that is integrated into the first electronic component, located in common on one substrate, wherein the system bus connects the electronic components and wherein the random access memory of the first electronic component is shareable to the second electronic component via said system bus.
A method for operating a system-on-chip comprising at least two electronic components serving for special purpose functions and a system bus and at least one random access memory which is integrated into the first electronic component and shareable to the second electronic component via the system bus, wherein access to the random access memory the first electronic component is allocated to the second electronic component when the special purpose function of the first electronic component disabled and wherein it is revoked when the special purpose function of the second electronic component is disabled.
