AXI to AHB Bridge IP

Design IP

Overview

SmartDV’s AXI to AHB Bridge IP enables seamless interoperability between AMBA AXI and AMBA AHB protocols, allowing efficient data transfer across systems that integrate IP cores using different AMBA interfaces. It ensures smooth protocol translation with minimal latency, making it ideal for SoC designs that require reliable communication between high-performance and legacy subsystems.

Designed for flexibility, the IP core is highly configurable to meet specific design requirements, supporting both ASIC and FPGA implementations while optimizing for area, power, and performance.

Benefits

Robust Protocol Support – Supports incrementing, wrapping, and fixed burst transfers, as well as narrow transfers for efficient data movement
Timeout and Error Handling – Includes configurable address and data phase timeouts and support for transfer response (HRESP) signaling per slave
Prioritized Transfer Management – Allows simultaneous reception of write and read transfers, with read requests given higher priority at the AHB interface
Independent State Machines – Separate logic for handling write and read transfers ensures parallelism and efficient response management
Highly Configurable Architecture – Customizable AXI/AHB data and address widths, slave count, endianness, address mapping, and response signaling
Seamless Integration – Designed for easy integration into AXI-based SoCs interfacing with multiple AHB peripherals

Compliance and Compatibility

Compliant with AMBA 2, AMBA 3, and AMBA 5 AHB specifications
Compliant with AMBA 2, AMBA 3, and AMBA 5 AXI specifications
