   Hint

   It's the abbreviation of the full term.

2. 2.

   Name one component typically found in an SoC.

   Hint

   Think of the brain of the SoC.

3. 3.

   What is the primary function of a CPU in an SoC?

   • Execute instructions
   • Store data
   • Transmit signals

   Hint

   It's often referred to as the brain of the computing system.

4. 4.
