Multiple Clock Design

ASIC and SoC have multiple functionality and multiple features design onto the same chip. The main advantage of an ASIC or SoC is an efficient design with lower cost and better performance. Cost advantage is achieved by having fewer chips in a system and thus reducing the cost of multiple chip packaging and smaller PCB footprint on system level. Performance advantage is achieved by having short metal routings on chip level instead of copper interconnects between multiple chips on PCB at system level.
