Of Posts Telecom.,Xi’an,710121,China ） Abstract: Network-on-Chip instead of the traditional bus structures with a chip area network, and it is to be seen a good solution for the bottleneck of intra-chip communication. The router is the very important basic part of NoC. In this paper, based on the analysis of related research, a circuit-switch based router is designed and implemented facing to the wireless communication application which requires guaranteed service. The router is based on a mesh topology with 5-input×5-output port, and supports up to 48 Gbit/s switch. It can provide 100% non-blocking permutation switching ability, and also can be configured as multicast and broadcast. The router is designed by Verilog HDL, and has been fully simulated and verified. The router is implemented by Altera’s FPGA, and could satisfy the need of intra-chip communication.
