what si SOC?

SoC is System on Chip. It's a complete system, MPU+peripherals+memory+logic, implemented onto one piece of silicon. Either an ASIC, ASSP, FPGA, CPLD, or something like that.

Ya.. SOC is System On Chip. This can be called as mother of all ASICs. This is an integration of many components like memory, I/o devices, small analog circuits etc. a typical example is the telecom SoC made by TI. An interesting feature is there at h**p://port-70.blogspot.com/2006_07_02_port-70_archive.html
