Arteris Press Releases

Leading-edge multi-channel DDR and memory interleaving support reduces system-on-chip power consumption and development time

CAMPBELL, Calif. — November 5, 2015 — Arteris Inc., the inventor and only supplier of silicon-proven commercial network-on-chip (NoC) interconnect IP solutions, today announced that Beijing Pinecone Electronics Co., Ltd, has licensed Arteris FlexNoC IP for use in its smartphone application processor chipsets.

We chose to adopt Arteris FlexNoC interconnect IP for our SoCs after a very rigorous evaluation process.

Fully-featured network-on-chip (NoC) IP shortens design time, increases performance and reduces die cost and power consumption 

CAMPBELL, Calif. — November 3, 2015 —Arteris Inc., the inventor and only supplier of silicon-proven commercial network-on-chip (NoC) interconnect IP solutions, today announced that Blu Wireless Technology has licensed Arteris FlexNoC interconnect IP for use in its HYDRA WiGig and 60GHz millimeter wave baseband IP.

Blu Wireless, based in Bristol, UK, designs and licenses semiconductor intellectual property to telecommunications semiconductor companies for gigabit rate wireless modems operating in the millimeter wave frequency bands.

Because we use a complex heterogeneous multiprocessing architecture, mixing fixed-function DSP blocks with highly optimized parallel vector DSPs, we required an interconnect that implements end-to-end quality of service guaranteeing our on-chip latency and bandwidth requirements. Arteris FlexNoC delivered this QoS while using less die area and power consumption than competing technologies.

Network-on-chip interconnect IP provides strategic cost and time-to-market advantages to leading Chinese application processor vendor

CAMPBELL, California — March 18, 2015 — Arteris Inc., the inventor and only supplier of silicon-proven commercial network-on-chip (NoC) interconnect IP solutions, today announced that Rockchip, a leading fabless semiconductor company and mobile system-on-chip (SoC) provider, has chosen Arteris® FlexNoC® fabric IP to be the on-chip communications backbone for its complete RK series of application processor SoCs.

Our extensive use of Arteris FlexNoC interconnect IP has enabled us to increase the number of complex SoC designs we can implement in a year, with the same amount of resources. We are always looking for ways to differentiate our product portfolio, and our collaboration with Arteris is a key factor in enabling us to be both technology and time-to-market leaders with advanced designs.

Network-on-chip interconnect enables complete family of industry’s lowest power RF devices for Zigbee® RF4CE™, Bluetooth® low energy and other IoT standards

CAMPBELL, California — February 25, 2015 — Arteris Inc., the inventor and only supplier of silicon-proven commercial network-on-chip (NoC) interconnect IP solutions, today announced that Texas Instruments (TI) has implemented Arteris® FlexNoC® fabric IP in its SimpleLink™ ultra-low power wireless MCU portfolio. The TI SimpleLink family is part of the industry’s broadest wireless connectivity portfolio of cost-effective, low-power solutions for communications in the Internet of Things (IoT).

FlexNoC’s power management features and low latency helped us create the lowest-power IoT communication devices in the world. Just as important were the business benefits: Using FlexNoC allowed us to create a small set of digital logic SoC dies that serve as the brains of more than one hundred different products, each customized for its particular market.

FlexNoC’s flexibility and automation, combined with our implementation of software-programmable on-chip firewalls and power disconnect features, enabled us to produce an entire product line with a minimal number of digital logic components.
