T2MIP, a global leader in semiconductor IP core solutions, today announced the availability of its Network Interconnect IP Core, a silicon-proven and highly scalable on-chip communication solution. Designed to connect CPUs, GPUs, accelerators, and peripherals within complex SoCs, the NIC IP core leverages distributed Network-on-Chip (NoC) technology to deliver superior performance, scalability, and power efficiency compared to traditional crossbar-based interconnects.

Built for both high and medium complexity SoCs, the NIC IP core supports a broad range of protocols, including AXI3, AXI4, and ACE-L, ensuring seamless interoperability across system components. By offering high configurability and adaptability, the IP core provides SoC designers with the freedom to optimize area, bandwidth, and power depending on their application requirements, making it a robust solution for everything from mobile and consumer electronics to networking and high-performance computing platforms.

The NIC IP core incorporates several advanced features that set it apart. These include integrated Trace & Debug (TnD) with WatchPoint for pattern detection, a complete replacement for traditional on-chip debug technologies, and built-in safety and fault-tolerant mechanisms that ensure secure interconnect operation. Its ability to mix with other interconnects provides further design flexibility, while read data interleaving guarantees full compliance with industry standards.

Beyond performance and flexibility, the NIC IP core simplifies implementation. The inclusion of a NoC Control Unit reduces design complexity by streamlining configuration and software integration. With its separated, optimized networks and reduced wiring overhead, the solution delivers exceptional bandwidth scalability with leading power efficiency. These capabilities allow architects to fine-tune system design, selecting parameters such as flit size, frequency, topology, and voltage libraries to balance power, latency, and performance.

Already deployed in silicon, the T2M NIC IP core provides customers with a proven, high-performance interconnect backbone that accelerates time-to-market and ensures long-term reliability. With its adaptability across system types and compliance with automotive and industrial requirements, it is positioned as a foundational technology for the next generation of SoCs.

In addition to their strengths, T2M-IP has a comprehensive and versatile Interface IP Core portfolio, covering USB, PCIe, Serial ATA, HDMI, DisplayPort, MIPI, DDR, Ethernet (10/100/1000), LVDS, programmable SerDes, SD/eMMC, and many other controllers with corresponding PHYs. These are available across leading fabs in process nodes down to 7nm, and, upon request, can be ported to other foundries and advanced technology nodes.

Availability: These Semiconductor Interface IP Cores are available for immediate licensing either standalone or with pre-integrated Controllers and PHYs. For more information on licensing options and pricing, Please submit a request on [email protected]
