Truechip's NoC Coherent Crossbar Silicon IP provides chip designers and architects with an efficient way to connect multiple protocol bus protocol supportive devices with reduced latency, power, and area.

It provides hardware cache coherency with software cache maintenance, NoC Silicon IP also helps to reduce the usage of interconnecting wires and resources inside the chip.
