Abstract

A system resource router for SOC applications is described. Data-transfer initiators coupled to the router via one of a plurality of channel socket connections (144, 146, 148, 150, 152, 154) alternatively couple to internal M-channel buses (162, 164, 166) using transfer switches (168, 170, 172). Each internal M-channel bus connects to an external M-channel bus (114, 116, 118) populated by one or more transaction targets using an M-channel controller (156, 158, 160). The channel sockets, at least some of the data-transfer initiators, the internal M-channel buses, the external M-channel buses, and at least some of the transaction targets are all contained upon a single integrated circuit (IC) SOC device. Split reads and full duplex transactions are supported. Transactions can occur at different clock frequencies and bandwidths.
