Disclosed is an asynchronous protocol converter device, which is capable of flexibly carrying out communications between tens of IP cores in an asynchronous protocol Network-on-Chip system, and which is multiple input multiple output. In an LSI (20), which comprises a plurality of IP cores (21), and routers (22) positioned adjacent to the plurality of IP cores (21), an asynchronous protocol converter device (1) is positioned between adjacent routers (22). The asynchronous protocol converter device (1) is configured to comprise a two-to-four-phase converter (11) that is connected to an adjacent router (22a) within the LSI (20); a four-phase pipeline router (12) that is connected on the output side of the two-to-four-phase converter (11); a four-to-two-phase converter (13) that is connected to the outputs of the four-phase pipeline router (12); an input controller (14) that controls the two-to-four-phase converter (11); and an output controller (15) that controls the four-to-two-phase converter (13). |
