Abstract: A write leveling control method which includes registering data-related signal (DRS) reference delay values corresponding to types of memory modules in a leveling reference table; transmitting write leveling-related signals to a first type of memory module mounted on a target board; detecting timing skews between a clock signal and data-related signals received from memory devices on the mounted memory module; and adjusting a delay of a data-related signal transmitted to a memory device of the mounted memory module if a corresponding timing skew is outside of a first range, based on the DRS reference delay value corresponding to the mounted memory module.

Abstract: Provided is a method of driving a system-on-chip (SOC). The method includes adding a first transaction to a list, allocating the first transaction to a first slot, determining whether a second transaction is redundant, and adding the second transaction to the list and allocating the second transaction to the first slot when it is determined that the second transaction is redundant. Accordingly, the SOC can increase outstanding capability and enhance performance of a system interconnection.

Abstract: A system on chip (SoC) includes a first master, a slave, a bus switch transmitting a first command of the master and a first response of the slave, and a first priority controller connected between the first master and the bus switch The first priority controller measures at least one of first bandwidth and first latency based on the first command and the first response and adjusts the priority of the first command according to at least one of the measurement results.

Abstract: A system-on-a-chip semiconductor device comprises a first master device configured to issue a request having a transaction ID, a plurality of slave devices configured to provide data in response to the request, and an interconnector configured to include a slave interface for providing the request to one or more master interfaces and for supplying response data to the first master device based on operation characteristics of the first master. An arbitration method of an interconnector transferring a plurality of response data provided from a plurality of slave devices to a master device comprises selecting one of a plurality of arbitration modes based on operation characteristics of the master device; and transferring the response data in the order determined by transfer priority corresponding to the selected arbitration mode.

Abstract: An interface device includes a transaction management unit, a buffer unit and a selection circuit. The transaction management unit selectively splits a transaction of a master device into a first sub-transaction and at least one remaining sub-transaction based on a size of the transaction. The buffer unit stores the remaining sub-transaction. The selection circuit selects one of the first sub-transaction and an output of the buffer unit in response to a select control signal.

Abstract: At least one example embodiment discloses a System on Chip (SoC). The SoC includes a master block, a plurality of slave blocks configured to operate in response to a request from the master block, and an interconnect block configured to deliver transactions occurring in the master block to the plurality of slave blocks through a plurality of transfer paths. The interconnect block is configured to monitor load information of the plurality of transfer paths and select one of the plurality of transfer paths according to the load information.
