A system-on-chip bus system includes a bus configured to connect function blocks of a system-on-chip to each other, and a clock gating unit connected to an interface unit of the bus and configured to basically gate a clock used in the operation of a bus bridge device mounted on the bus according to a state of a transaction detection signal.

Clock gating circuit

Bus system in SoC

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.
