April 19, 2012 – Arteris, Inc. (Country Manager Yeon Myeong-heum), a leading provider of Network-on-Chip (NoC) interconnect IP solutions, announced today that CoaLogic has adopted its Arteris® FlexNoC™ interconnect IP as the backbone SoC interconnect for next-generation mobile and multimedia processors.
Coalogic is a key domestic fabless semiconductor company with outstanding capabilities in low-power mobile multimedia system-on-chips (SoCs). As SoC complexity increased, along with backend timing and routing congestion issues, existing interconnect IP solutions were not scalable enough to meet Coalogic's advanced needs.
Koo Gyo-geun, Senior Engineer at Coalogic, stated, “Atheris is the industry’s first company to offer NoC technology for use in bus architectures. After conducting a technical evaluation, we determined that Atheris’s interconnect IP would help resolve Coalogic’s complex SoC routing and timing issues.” He added, “We are confident that Atheris FlexNoC will help eliminate backend issues and accelerate development schedules. Atheris’s FlexNoC interconnect IP is an indispensable element for developing cutting-edge SoCs, and we are currently applying it to numerous design projects.”
K. Charles Janac, President and CEO of Arteris, said, “CoaLogic’s decision to adopt Arteris’s FlexNoC as the backbone SoC interconnect for its most important chips demonstrates its confidence in Arteris’s unique NoC technology,” and added, “Arteris’s NoC technology enables the development of complex SoCs while avoiding backend wire routing congestion or timing closure issues that occurred with existing technologies.”
