Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC) device includes functional circuits and multiple communication paths, which may include a first communication path through the functional circuits and a second communication path to permit the functional circuits to share information through a buffer and/or to bypass a subset of the functional circuits and a corresponding portion of the first communication path. The IC device may include a variety of protocol-specific interface circuits (ASIC and/or configurable circuitry) for respective IP blocks, and a controller that selectively directs traffic through the various communication paths. The controller may include a set of domain-specific OpCodes that link various subsets/combinations of the protocol-specific interface circuits as respective communication paths. The IC device may include multiple blocks of circuitry, each including a respective set of domain-specific circuitry (e.g., host-domain, network domain, RF domain, and/or data processing domain), and respective sets of OpCodes.
