Enabling SoC Developers to Create Efficient NoCs
The world’s #1 on-chip fabric is used by the world’s top semiconductor design teams as the backbone on-chip communications for chips targeting the fastest growing markets.
Arteris FlexWay™ 5 network-on-chip (NoC) IP is particularly well suited to cost-efficient, low-power Internet-of-Things (IoT) edge devices and microcontrollers (MCUs).
A Complete Network-On-Chip Product
Everything design teams need to create the world’s best SoCs, faster
Flexible Topologies
FlexWay is generated from simple elementary components which are combined by a powerful set of algorithms and an intuitive GUI, making it possible to build the optimal topology for your embedded application.
Small to Medium SoCs
FlexWay supports simple to medium-complexity designs and easily scales efficiently between the two, containing only the optimum configuration required.
Huge Bandwidth
FlexWay is uncompromising in how it drives performant on-chip dataflow despite it’s power efficient design.
