The evolution of SoC design has transformed the embedded landscape. As a result, SoCs have assumed a much higher level of integration, sophistication and functionality. Over the last few years, one major area of advancement has been in the network communications area on the SoC, or “Network-on-chip” (NoC), where today Sonics serves as the chip’s connectivity backbone.

For more than a decade, Sonics has evolved its pioneering NoC technology to offer the broadest portfolio of intelligent on-chip communications networks that form the foundation of today’s complex SoCs. Our products optimize memory access, seamlessly manage on-chip network traffic, boost system performance and reduce power consumption in SoCs with advanced voice, data and video features—such as those found in next-generation home entertainment, networking, wireless and mobile devices. With a broad array of silicon-proven IP, Sonics helps designers eliminate memory bottlenecks associated with complex, high-speed SoC design, streamline and unify data flows and solve persistent network challenges in embedded systems with multiple cores. 

Since 1996, Sonics has delivered production-proven IP to leading semiconductor suppliers and OEMs around the world. Fundamentally, we believe that our customers’ success is the foundation of our own success—and we team as true partners throughout the entire design process to ensure success is achieved each and every time. In fact, Sonics has enabled its customers, including semiconductor leaders Broadcom Corporation, Samsung, Texas Instruments and Toshiba, to ship more than 750 million units worldwide.
