Aug. 25, 2025 –
T2MIP, a worldwide leader in semiconductor IP core solutions, has announced the launch of its Network Interconnect IP Core, a silicon-proven NoC-based solution that enables seamless connectivity across CPUs, GPUs, accelerators, and peripheral devices in today’s complex SoCs. By leveraging a distributed Network-on-Chip architecture, the NIC IP core offers unmatched scalability, power efficiency, and design flexibility, making it a powerful alternative to legacy crossbar interconnect systems.
The solution is designed for both medium to high complexity SoCs, giving chip architects a configurable platform that can be tuned to balance area, bandwidth, and power depending on system requirements. Supporting widely adopted standards such as AXI3, AXI4, and ACE-L, the IP core ensures high interoperability while streamlining SoC integration for markets ranging from mobile and consumer devices to networking, datacenter, and automotive platforms.
One of the defining aspects of the NIC IP core is its advanced feature set. The interconnect integrates Trace and Debug (TnD) with WatchPoint technology, enabling efficient pattern detection and interrupt generation, and also serves as a complete replacement for legacy debug systems like SBAG. With built-in protection mechanisms, safety features, and fault tolerance, the NIC IP core is engineered to deliver reliable performance even in safety-critical environments. Compatibility with different interconnect standards further enhances its adaptability across multiple SoC ecosystems.
The architecture is also optimized to simplify system design and accelerate development. Its NoC Control Unit provides a unified interface for configuration and software visibility, while the lightweight router-based structure minimizes wiring overhead, reduces area impact, and delivers high bandwidth scalability with low power. This combination enables SoC designers to fine-tune performance parameters such as frequency, flit size, latency, and voltage libraries to achieve optimal efficiency.
With silicon-proven reliability and wide deployment readiness, the T2M partner’s Network Interconnect IP core stands as a critical backbone for next-generation SoCs. It empowers semiconductor companies to shorten time-to-market while ensuring future-proof design flexibility and robust performance across a wide range of applications.
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 contact@t-2-m.com
