Abstract :
The FAUST chip integrates a baseband processing architecture in which communications between IPs are supported by an asynchronous network-on-chip (NoC). This distributed and modular structure facilitates physical implementation and power management. A 20-node NoC is implemented in 79.5mm2 using 0.13mum 6M CMOS to address 100Mb/s telecom systems
