SonicsLX SMART Interconnect solution contains a high performance advanced fabric with data flow services for the development of complex SoCs. SonicsLX utilizes state-of-the-art physical structure design and advanced protocol management to deliver guaranteed high bandwidth together with fine grained power management.

Using a crossbar structure, SonicsLX supports multi-threaded and non-blocking communications. Compliance with Open Core Protocol (OCP), AHB, and AXI interfaces ensures maximum reuse of all cores regardless of their native configuration.

With SonicsLX, the functionality of each core is decoupled from the interconnect communications required among the cores. Configuring SonicsLX allows SoC developers to tailor the communications for each core’s specific needs while balancing latency, physical layout, clock frequency, area, and power consumption.

SonicsLX is supported by the SonicsStudio™ development environement, which automates configuration, data analysis, and performance verification. In addition, a SystemC model allows architectural modeling concurrently with application software development.
