Arteris FlexNoC Physical Interconnect IP is Licensed by Renesas Electronics Europe for use in High-End SoCs

CAMPBELL, Calif., Jan. 12, 2016 – Arteris Inc., the inventor and leading supplier of silicon-proven commercial network-on-chip (NoC) interconnect IP solutions, today announced that Renesas Electronics Europe has licensed Arteris FlexNoC Physical™ IP for use in its High-End SoC business division.

Renesas Electronics Europe has been a long-time user and licensee of Arteris IP and has implemented Arteris FlexNoC in industrial and communications SoC designs. Their SoC development team chose the new Arteris FlexNoC Physical IP because of its ability to reduce the time and effort required for timing closure, which significantly reduces development schedule time.

"For our most complex SoCs, it has not been uncommon for us to iterate between our front-end and back-end design teams multiple times to achieve timing closure," said Horst Rieger, Engineering Manager, Renesas Electronics Europe. "Time is money for us, and FlexNoC Physical IP helps us significantly reduce the amount of time and incremental information sharing between logical and physical design teams. FlexNoC Physical helps us remove the SoC interconnect from the critical path."

"We are thrilled that Renesas Electronics Europe has chosen Arteris FlexNoC Physical IP to help reduce the time and pain of timing closure," said K. Charles Janac, President and CEO of Arteris. "Renesas' choice of FlexNoC Physical is a vote of confidence in technology specifically designed to reduce timing closure issues by using back-end information to quickly optimize front-end design."
