Abstract: Network on Chip (NoC) is an emerging interconnect solution with reliable and scalable features over the System on Chip (SoC) and helps to overcome the drawbacks of bus-based interconnection in SoC. The multiple cores or other networks have a boundary which is limited to communicate with devices, which are directly connected to it. To communicate with these multiple cores outside the boundary, the NOC requires the gateway functionality. In this manuscript, a cost-effective Network Gateway (NG) model is designed, and also the interconnection of a network gateway with multiple cores are connected to the NoC based system is prototyped on Artix-7 FPGA. The NG mainly consists of Serializer and deserializer for transmitting and receiving the data packets with proper synchronization, temporary register to hold the network data, electronic crossbar switch is connected with multiple cores which are controlled by switch controller. The NG with the Router and different sizes of NoC based system is designed using congestion-free adaptive-XY routing. The implementation results and performance evaluation are analyzed for NG based NoC in terms of average Latency and maximum Throughput for different Packet Injection Ratio (PIR). The proposed Network gateway achieves low latency and high throughput in NoC based systems for different PIR.
