HiSilicon Using Arteris FlexNoC Interconnect Fabric IP in Multiple Product Lines

Network-on-Chip technology shortens design times and increases productivity

SUNNYVALE, California — May 30, 2013 — Arteris Inc., the inventor and only supplier of silicon-proven commercial network-on-chip (NoC) interconnect IP solutions, today announced that HiSilicon Microelectronics, Inc. (Nasdaq:HiSilicon) has selected Arteris® FlexNoC® interconnect IP as the backbone SoC interconnect for its new wireless systems-on-chip (SoC) platforms.

According to HiSilicon engineers and managers, using Arteris FlexNoC has enabled HiSilicon design teams to shorten design cycle times and increase team productivity. Team members were able to quickly and easily explore candidate SoC architectures using FlexNoC’s graphical user interface and automated design and verification flow. The smaller size and faster speed of the FlexNoC IP helped eliminate routing congestion and eased timing closure, also contributing to the fast design turnaround times.

“Arteris is honored to that HiSilicon has been so successful and satisfied using Arteris FlexNoC as the backbone of their SoCs,” said K. Charles Janac, President and CEO of Arteris. “HiSilicon’s use of Arteris FlexNoC fabric IP throughout their SoC product lines will continue to help reduce time-to-market and product costs.”
