On-Chip Communication Architectures

Over the past decade, system-on-chip (SoC) designs have evolved to the highest standards of digital convergence. Improvements in process technology have effectively shrunk board-level components. New on-chip communication architectures have been designed to support all interdependent communication in a SoC design. These communication architecture fabrics have a critical impact on the power consumption, performance, cost and design cycle time of modern SoC designs. Asbestos, R & D, design, academic and industrial.
