NoC Interconnect Technology Becoming Mainstream

Gartner analyst Jim Tully’s assessment that network on chip (NoC) technology will be “mainstream” in two to five years is an acknowledgement of the technical and commercial success NoC interconnect IP has had in the consumer electronics system on chip (SoC) market over the last couple of years.

As reported by EE Times, Gartner’s latest “Hype Cycle for Semiconductors” shows Network on Chip technology climbing the “slope of enlightenment” after its sojourn in the “trough of disillusionment.” As SoCs have become more complicated, SoC makers like Texas Instruments, Toshiba and LG have chosen to use NoC technology to proactively address wire routing congestion issues, timing closure failures and the need to easily create derivative SoCs based on a single SoC.
