What are interface and connectivity IP cores?

Interface and connectivity IP cores are reusable hardware blocks that enable data exchange between components within a chip or across systems. They are essential for integrating processors, memory, peripherals, and external devices in SoCs and ASICs.

These IP cores implement standardized communication protocols and ensure reliable, high-performance data transfer across different parts of a system.

Main types of interface and connectivity IP

High-speed serial interfaces

High-speed serial IP supports standards such as PCIe, Ethernet, USB, and SerDes-based communication for high-bandwidth data transfer.

On-chip interconnect (NoC and bus IP)

On-chip interconnect IP such as Network-on-Chip (NoC) and bus architectures enable communication between cores, memory, and peripherals within a chip.

Chiplet and die-to-die interfaces

Chiplet interconnect IP enables communication between multiple dies in advanced packaging architectures using standards such as UCIe.

Low-speed and control interfaces

Control interface IP includes protocols such as I2C, SPI, UART, and other low-speed communication standards used for configuration and control.
