Rockchip Licenses Arteris FlexNoC Fabric IP for RK Series SoCs

Network-on-chip interconnect IP provides strategic cost and time-to-market advantages to leading Chinese application processor vendor

CAMPBELL, California, Mar. 18, 2015 – 

Arteris Inc., the inventor and only supplier of silicon-proven commercial network-on-chip (NoC) interconnect IP solutions, today announced that Rockchip, a leading fabless semiconductor company and mobile system-on-chip (SoC) provider, has chosen Arteris® FlexNoC® fabric IP to be the on-chip communications backbone for its complete RK series of application processor SoCs.

Arteris FlexNoC interconnect has been proven in three generations of Rockchip SoCs. Rockchip has licensed Arteris FlexNoC IP since 2012. Since then, Rockchip has implemented FlexNoC IP in many of its complex application processor designs.

"Our extensive use of Arteris FlexNoC interconnect IP has enabled us to increase the number of complex SoC designs we can implement in a year, with the same amount of resources," said Li Shiqin, IC Design Director at Rockchip. "We are always looking for ways to differentiate our product portfolio, and our collaboration with Arteris is a key factor in enabling us to be both technology and time-to-market leaders with advanced designs."

"Rockchip's adoption of Arteris FlexNoC has been an important success factor for both companies," K. Charles Janac, President and CEO of Arteris. "We are proud to be a technology enabler for Rockchip as it has grown to be a leading designer of sophisticated SoCs in China."

About Arteris Inc

Arteris provides Network on Chip (NoC) interconnect IP to improve performance, power consumption and die size of system on chip (SoC) devices for consumer electronics, mobile, automotive and other applications.

Using Arteris solves pain 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 AXI, OCP, 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 invented Network on Chip technology, offering the world s first commercial solution in 2006. Arteris connects the IP blocks in semiconductors from Qualcomm, Samsung, TI, and others, representing over 50 System on Chip devices. Find out more about Arteris products.
