FlexNoC

FlexNoC is the ideal interconnect for SoC designs requiring higher performance with mimimum area and power. Its flexible architecture makes it the right solution for interconnects with a combined low latency requirement and high throughput needs. FlexNoC provides support for the additional features that today SoCs require, such as clock domain conversion, width conversion, security, and multi-protocol support. The product supports the AMBA (APB, AHB, AXI ) protocols and OCP and can easily be extended to support proprietary protocols.

Interconnect configuration and seamless IP reuse and integration is enabled by the FlexArtist development tools. As part of the FlexArtist tools, Arteris provides FlexVerifier, a powerful automated testbench generator. Protocol interoperability verification can be a burden as one can easily cover 90% of the cases in a week but spend months covering all corner cases. FlexVerifier creates and runs a comprehensive set of system and IP tests on the configured interconnect to achieve 100% coverage, along with functional coverage tests on all the system interfaces to ensure complete interoperability.

With the Arteris FlexNoC, the designer is able to get all the benefits of Arteris’ patented NoC technology, such as reduced wiring congestion, larger timing margins and lower power consumption, as well as improved productivity and design quality through a set of intuitive and powerful development tools
