Microcontroller

Enabling the next generation of microcontrollers with innovative Network-on-Chip technology for efficiency, scalability, and safety.

Microcontroller

Overview

As System-on-Chip (SoC) designs grow more complex, traditional buses and crossbars are being replaced by advanced Network-on-Chip (NoC) interconnect solutions. This transformation addresses the increasing demands for power efficiency, scalability, and integration in modern microcontroller (MCU) architectures. NoC technology, pioneered by Arteris Inc., leverages packet-based data transfer methods, offering significant advantages in power consumption, performance, and die area utilization compared to conventional interconnect methods.

Arteris’ comprehensive NoC solutions—FlexNoC, FlexWay, CodaCache, and Magillem—are designed to meet the challenges of modern MCU designs. These technologies provide enhanced power efficiency, streamlined interconnect and memory architectures, and simplified design workflows. This is particularly relevant for MCUs powering IoT devices, automotive applications, and industrial systems that demand low power, high reliability, and advanced features like AI and cybersecurity.
