Overview

SmartDV’s AHB Decoder IP is a silicon-proven, fully featured AMBA AHB address decode solution purpose-built for SoC designs requiring flexible, high-performance address decoding and read data routing across embedded processor, memory controller, and peripheral subsystem designs. Fully compliant with the AMBA AHB5 specification and backward compatible with AHB-Lite and AHB2, it delivers complete master-to-slave address decoding and slave-to-master read data multiplexing with configurable master and slave counts, configurable endianness, and support for all burst types, transfer sizes, and response types.

Designed for the practical integration requirements of modern AMBA AHB SoC designs, the IP implements a high-speed address decoder that maps incoming master transactions to the appropriate slave based on configurable address maps, alongside a read data multiplexor that routes slave response data back to the requesting master with minimal latency overhead. Its fully synthesizable, static synchronous, scan-test-ready architecture and simple interface enable fast integration into any AHB-based SoC bus fabric without requiring custom glue logic.

Built for design flexibility and silicon efficiency, the IP core is highly configurable for both ASIC and FPGA implementations, with a strong focus on area optimization, power management, and peak performance. Its parameterized master and slave count, configurable address map, and clean host interface enable fast integration and confident design bring-up across a wide range of process nodes and target applications.
