Popis: Transistor size shrinking day-to-day as technology node moves towards deep sub nano meter node so, Interconnects dominate overall performance of system-on-chip. Conventional shared bus architecture could not handle on-chip communication issues like bandwidth, power consumption, and signal integrity. To overcome these issues network-on-chip provides the best alternative to shared bus architectures. In this paper, novel NoC router has been proposed to minimize area design metric to 50% and power consumption for efficient on-chip hybrid communication in the spatial division multiplexing-based network-on-chip. Using proposed NoC router a 2 × 2 SDM-based NoC has been implemented on Xilinx Spartan 6 FPGA and performance are evaluated and compared with TDM-based NoC architectures.
