ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit includes functional blocks and a data communication network having network stations interconnected via communication channels for communicating data packages between the functional blocks. Each data package includes N data elements having a data element with routing information for the network stations, N being an integer of at least two. The network stations include data routers and network interfaces, where each of the data routers is coupled to a functional block via a network interface. The data communication network includes first and second network stations interconnected through a first communication channel. The network includes M*N data storage elements, M being a positive integer, for introducing a delay of M*N cycles on the first communication channel.
