SmartDV’s AXI to AHB Bridge IP is a silicon-proven, fully featured protocol bridge solution purpose-built for SoC designs requiring seamless connectivity between AXI masters and AHB slave peripherals across high-performance processor, DMA controller, and peripheral subsystem designs. Fully compliant with the latest AMBA AXI and AHB specifications, it enables AXI masters to access AHB slave resources with configurable data bus widths, address widths, and support for incrementing, wrapping, and fixed burst transfers with narrow transfer support, with simultaneous AXI write and read reception and read requests given high priority to the AHB interface.
Designed for the practical integration requirements of modern mixed AXI/AHB SoC designs, the bridge implements separate state machines for write, read, and response handling, address and data phase timeout support, and configurable HRESP signal usage per slave. Its simultaneous reception of write and read transfers with sequential AHB posting and read-priority arbitration gives SoC integration teams a production-tested AXI-to-AHB bridge optimized for responsive, high-performance peripheral access.
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 slave count, configurable bus widths, and clean integration interface enable fast design bring-up across a wide range of process nodes.
