Arteris enhances network-on-chip offerings to address full range of SoC designs

SAN JOSE, USA: Arteris Inc., the leading Network-on-Chip (NoC) interconnect IP solutions provider, announced the availability of two new on-chip interconnect products, the FlexNoC and FlexWay packages.

With these offerings, Arteris expands the capabilities of its market-leading NoC Solution to address the complete range of SoC design styles, sizes and complexities. The new technology builds on Arteris’ proven technology for designing and implementing NoCs, and delivers an expanded, scalable capability to combine traditional bus-based interconnect approaches with its NoC technology.

The solution also offers an enhanced tool set, called the FlexArtistTM tool suite, which further automates the process of designing on-chip interconnect at each stage of the SoC design flow.

The new product line addresses a broad array of interconnect issues facing IC designers today, including the design of ICs with lower power, higher performance and lower silicon area.

The current Arteris NoC Solution, which introduced a new approach to managing on-chip communication for designers challenged by the proliferation of IP cores used on a single chip and by increasingly stringent power, area and performance requirements, has been used extensively in complex designs by some of the world’s leading fabless and IDM chip companies. Arteris has built on that foundation to deliver a broader, more full-featured solution.

One of the key innovations of the new offering is the ability to use its solution for both NoC and bus-type interconnect. This enables semiconductor makers to use FlexNoC and FlexWay IP for a broad range of complexity and performance requirements, as well as at various stages in the design process.

The FlexNoC and FlexWay products are available immediately. Pricing varies with project complexity and product features.
