PREFACE:

The purpose of the bookCommunication Architectures for Systems-on-Chip is to provide a reference for the broad range of professionals, researchers, and students interested in the design of systems-on-chip and, in particular, with a clear emphasis on the technologies and mechanisms used to perform the data communication in these devices.

 The book covers from what could be considered “traditional” communication architectures (buses) and novel architectures (networks-on-chip), to recent technologies (nanoelectronics, optics, radiofrequency, etc.) and design issues (security) found in system-on-chip coomunications. 

This book is structured in eight chapters that provide a comprehensive knowledge to this area.

 It has contributors from several countries (Switzerland, Spain, Italy, United States, France) that come from industry and academia. These authors are directly involved in the creation and management of the ideas presented in this book, and both the research and implementation parts are covered. 

Therefore, all those interested in more practical or theoretical issues will find something interesting for them. The book can be used as a reference foruniversity (post)graduate courses and PhD students, as well for an advanced course on Systems-on-Chip.

 It is an excellent companion for those who seek to learn more about this technology and find themselves involved in their design from a professional or academic level.

For more than 20 years, integrated electronics has been the major new technological force shaping our everyday lives.

 Today’s trend is shifting from personal computers to personal communication and computing, where system knowledge and expertise is now being encapsulated into single-chip solutions incorporating both hardware and software.

 This revolution is enabled and fueled by deep submicron Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technologies, through which gigascale integration will be possible in the very near future.

The broad range of use of these electronic systems has allowed their integration in multiple application domains. We can find examples in small integrated electronic applications, like electronic tags and smartcards. 

Another field of application is the area of microcontrollers, where system-on-a-chip (SoC) can be found in common consumer-oriented devices, such as washing machines, microwave ovens, etc.

 Also, many computer peripherals (keyboards, hard drive controllers, etc.) rely on system-on-a-chip to perform their control operations. Automotive has also taken advantage of this technology, using these devices in air bags, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electricity Supply Board (ESB), or engine control.
