Overview

Vtool NoC Interconnect IP is a highly configurable and technology independent IP, built for easy customization and integration into any system using AMBA AXI / APB / AHB standard. Interconnect IP enables connection between multiple master and multiple slave components while guaranteeing low latency and high bandwidth.

Key features

  • AMBA AXI / APB / AHB protocol compliant
  • Configurable number of masters and slaves
  • Configurable interface parameters:
    • address width
    • data width - any 2^n bits
    • burst length - up to 16 transfers
    • transaction ID width
    • user-defined signals width
  • Round robin, fixed and dynamic priority arbitration
  • “Single slave per ID” as cyclic dependency avoidance scheme
  • Combinatorial, forward registered, reverse registered and fully registered pipelining options to prevent master/arbitration stalls
  • Independent address maps and master-to-slave visibility list for different masters

Benefits

  • Fully customizable solution, automatically generated, easy to configure and integrate into any complex ASIC or SoC
  • Saves time in complex system development while providing performance and/or area consumption optimization
  • Fully flexible solution easy to update and extend for any specific customer need
  • Bug-free design coming with complete UVM verification environment and test suite
  • FPGA proven
  • Option for a full suite combining Vtool services, including design, verification, and embedded

Secure Multi-Path Routing with All-or-Nothing Transform for Network-on-Chip Architectures

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.

Why verification matters in network-on-chip (NoC) design

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.

SoC design: When a network-on-chip meets cache coherency

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.

Accelerating RISC-V development with network-on-chip IP

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.

Network-on-chip (NoC) interconnect topologies explained

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.
