Abstract: An operating method of a semiconductor device includes monitoring multiple request packets and multiple response packets that are being transmitted between a master device and a slave device. A target request packet that matches predefined identification (ID) information is detected from among the request packets. An operation of a latency counter is initiated. The operation is for measuring the latency of a communication exchange (transaction) that includes the target request packet and a target response packet that is one of the response packets that matches the predefined ID information. The target response packet is detected from among the response packets. The operation of the latency counter is terminated. A latency value of the communication exchange is acquired from the latency counter.

The first and second register circuits sequentially store requests received from a plurality of master devices to output the stored requests toward a slave device. The forward channel is used for sending a first request from the first register circuit to the second register circuit, and the backward channel is used for sending back a second request from the second register circuit to the first register circuit.

Abstract: A system on chip (SOC) include at least one slave device, a plurality of master devices, a plurality of service controllers and an interconnect device. The master devices generate requests to demand services from the slave device, respectively. The service controllers generate urgent information signals and priority information signals for each of the master devices. The interconnect device is coupled to the slave device and the master devices through respective channels. The interconnect device performs an arbitrating operation on the requests based on the priority information signals and controls request flows between the slave device and the master devices based on the urgent information signals.

Abstract: A backbone channel transmits first through third channel packets among Advanced eXtensible Interface (AXI) 5 channel packets. The backbone channel is managed by dividing the backbone channel into a first sub-channel and a second sub-channel, transmitting the first channel packet through the first sub-channel, transmitting the second channel packet through the second sub-channel, and transmitting the third channel packet through both the first sub-channel and the second sub-channel.
