21.   That means it can pack more transistors on a single chip, improving performance and cutting costs.

22.   The acquisition of Viewlogic will give Synopsys so-called system-on-a-chip technology, which lets chipmakers consolidate many functions and components onto a single chip.

23.   The Berkeley researchers predict that in the next decade processors and memory will be merged onto a single chip.

24.   The BIOS program is small enough to fit onto a single chip called a ROM, for read-only memory.

25.   The company is in the process of shrinking the entire system onto a single chip, an advance that would potentially bring real-time stereo vision to the masses.

26.   The integrated circuit, in which multiple transistors and other components are incorporated on a single chip, is the basis for the advances in modern electronics.

27.   The new C-Cube chip, according to the press release, should help lower the cost of the machines by combining eight functions on a single chip.

28.   TI wants to load more functions onto single DSP chips.

29.   Another challenge is combining analog and digital functions on a single chip.

30.   For instance, the cellular phone is already near the point where all of its functions can be done on a single chip.
