Arteris provides network-on-chip (NoC) interconnect IP and system integration automation tools to improve performance, power consumption and die size of system-on-chip (SoC) devices for consumer electronics, mobile, automotive and other applications. Over 3.5 billion devices have been shipped to date containing Arteris IP.
Using Arteris relieves numerous pain points for our customers. Traditional bus and crossbar interconnect approaches create serious problems for architects, digital and physical designers, and integrators: Massive numbers of wires, increased heat and power consumption, failed timing closure, spaghetti-like routing congestion leading to increased die area, and difficulty making changes for derivatives.
Whether you are using AMBA 5: CHI, ACE, ACE-Light, AXI, AHB or a proprietary protocol, Arteris network-on-chip (NoC) IP reduces the number of wires by nearly one-half, resulting in fewer gates and a more compact chip floor plan. Having the option to configure each connection’s width, and each transaction’s dynamic priority, assures meeting latency and bandwidth requirements. And with the Arteris IP configuration tool suite, design and verification can be done easily, in a matter of days or even hours.
Arteris pioneered network-on-chip technology, offering the world’s first commercial solution in 2006 and is the industry leader. Check out Arteris' customers and learn more about Arteris products at www.arteris.com.

Ensuring Network-on-Chip (NoC) security is crucial to design trustworthy NoC-based System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures. While there are various threats that exploit on-chip communication vulnerabilities, eavesdropping attacks via malicious nodes are among the most common and stealthy. Although encryption can secure packets for confidentiality, it may introduce unacceptable overhead for resource-constrained SoCs.
Microcontrollers (MCUs) are no longer the humble workhorses of embedded systems. Today’s MCUs rapidly evolve into compact, high-performance computing platforms, integrating artificial intelligence (AI), advanced security features, and real-time processing into power-constrained environments.
In this article, we will dive deeper into a comprehensive methodology for formally verifying an NoC, showcasing the approaches and techniques that ensure our NoC designs are robust, efficient, and ready to meet the challenges of modern computing environments.
Many people have heard the term cache coherency without fully understanding the considerations in the context of system-on-chip (SoC) devices, especially those using a network-on-chip (NoC). To understand the issues at hand, it’s first necessary to understand the role of cache in the memory hierarchy.
In the world of system-on-chip (SoC) devices, architects encounter many options when configuring the processor subsystem. Choices range from single processor cores to clusters to multiple core clusters that are predominantly heterogeneous but occasionally homogeneous.
Today’s complex system-on-chip (SoC) designs can contain between tens to hundreds of IP blocks. Each IP block may have its own data width and clock frequency and employ one of the standard SoC interface protocols: OCP, APB, AHB, AXI, STBus, and DTL. Connecting all these IPs is a significant challenge.
