How NoCs Ace Power Management and Functional Safety in SoCs

September 15th, 2021 – By Benoit de Lescure

The NoC interconnect is the SoC architecture.

This third article highlights how NoC technology provides capabilities like power management and functional safety that are not possible with older crossbar-based interconnect technologies. For design teams creating modern SoCs, whether large datacenter AI accelerators or power-sipping IoT sensors, NoC interconnect technology is key to implementing these SoC architectures and optimizing the dataflow within them.

To catch up on the first and second articles in this series, click below:

• The network-on-chip interconnect is the SoC
• Why network-on-chip has displaced crossbar switches at scale
