Arteris Press Releases

Network-on-chip interconnect technology with integrated functional safety mechanisms accelerates development of automotive systems-on-chip. 

CAMPBELL, Calif. – June 8, 2021– Arteris IP, a leading provider of network-on-chip (NoC) interconnect and other intellectual property (IP) technology, that manages the on-chip communications in system-on-chip (SoC) semiconductor devices, today announced that Black Sesame Technologies has licensed Arteris FlexNoC interconnect IP and the accompanying FlexNoC Resilience Package for use in its ISO 26262-compliant automotive advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) chips. 

We successfully used the Arteris FlexNoC interconnect IP and Resilience Package in our previous generation ISO 26262 ASIL B systems and have been impressed with Arteris IP's product maturity, performance and functional safety capabilities. The Arteris IP FlexNoC interconnect and Resilience Package truly helped us more quickly develop our complex ADAS SoCs, which incorporate extensive artificial intelligence hardware acceleration, while providing the required functional safety mechanisms for us to achieve ISO 26262 compliance. In addition, the local Arteris IP engineering support team provided valuable architectural and functional safety feedback as we developed our chips.”

Automotive chip design leader standardizes on Network-on-Chip (NoC) interconnect IP for multiple ISO 26262-compliant systems-on-chip (SoCs)

CAMPBELL, Calif. and YOKOHAMA, Japan– February 4, 2021 – Arteris IP, the world’s leading supplier of innovative, silicon-proven network-on-chip (NoC) interconnect intellectual property, today announced that Socionext has implemented Arteris^® FlexNoC^® interconnect IP and the accompanying Resilience Package in multiple automotive chips, including an automotive SoC fabricated using 5nm semiconductor process technology.

We are able to more efficiently design large scale automotive chips because we are able to see early in the design process the layout impacts of our SoC and NoC architecture choices. This is especially important when using leading edge 5nm semiconductor process technologies. Furthermore, our SoC functional safety architecture has been enhanced by the novel technologies in the FlexNoC interconnect IP Resilience Package, allowing us to quickly tailor safety mechanisms for the desired ISO 26262 ASIL to meet our customers’ demanding schedules."

Toshiba tapes out next-generation automotive ADAS system-on-chip (SoC) using mature network-on-chip interconnect technology

CAMPBELL, Calif. — June. 11, 2019 — Arteris IP, the world’s leading supplier of innovative, silicon-proven network-on-chip (NoC) interconnect semiconductor intellectual property, today announced that Toshiba has taped out its next generation automotive advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) chip using the Arteris IP Ncore Cache Coherent and FlexNoC^®non-coherent interconnect with the associated Resilience Package.

Our use of the uniquely flexible Ncore cache coherent interconnect IP helped us to more quickly design and implement our next generation automotive ADAS chips while allowing us to increase hardware diagnostic coverage for ISO 26262 compliance. The Arteris IP team was very helpful in guiding us on the interconnect configuration to optimize system performance and hardware diagnostic coverage using the integrated functional safety mechanisms. Working with the highly professional Arteris team and their world class interconnect IP has helped us meet our performance requirements and schedule, while adding valuable capabilities that would not be possible with other interconnects.
