FlexNoC Interconnect by Arteris is a groundbreaking physically aware network-on-chip (NoC) interconnect technology designed to facilitate faster SoC creation and deployment. It offers a state-of-the-art backbone for on-chip communication, supporting a wide variety of semiconductor design needs across dynamic market sectors. Integrating this technology can remarkably shorten the system's turn-around time by up to five times compared to manual iterations, thereby boosting efficient design completions.
FlexNoC's architecture is formulated using an intelligent combination of elementary components, which are adeptly merged via sophisticated algorithms and a user-friendly GUI, allowing flexible topology creation. It supports an extensive range of SoC scales, seamlessly integrating source-synchronous communications and virtual channels. This results in superior performance with broad bandwidth capabilities, especially in driving on-chip data flow and interfacing with off-chip memory.
Key features of the FlexNoC include automatic assistance for timing closure, visual integration on floorplans, and multi-clock/power domains. With multi-protocol capabilities aligning with AMBA standards, it facilitates quality of service (QoS), security, and in-system debugging, thereby aligning with the stringent requirements of modern semiconductor designs. The FlexNoC interconnect is a crucial tool for developers aiming at high-frequency, low-latency, and reduced power consumption within their SoC projects.
