All IPs > Interface Controller & PHY > AMBA AHB / APB/ AXI
AMBA, which stands for Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture, is a far-reaching and well-established open-standard, on-chip interconnect specification used widely in the design and structuring of system-on-chip (SoC) technologies. Among the most popular protocols under this architecture are AHB (Advanced High-performance Bus), APB (Advanced Peripheral Bus), and AXI (Advanced eXtensible Interface). These protocols facilitate effective communication between various components of a digital system, ensuring optimal performance and scalability.
**AHB, APB, and AXI Semiconductor IPs**
*AMBA AHB* is specifically designed for high-performance and high-bandwidth requirements. It's a parallel bus interface that is commonly employed for connecting processors and other high-speed components in a SoC. AHB IPs ensure that data is transferred efficiently across the components, making them ideal for applications where speed and reliability are crucial.
*AMBA APB* is tailored for low power and less complex communication needs. It is often used for interfacing with peripheral devices that do not require high throughput, such as UARTs or low-speed memory controllers. APB semiconductor IPs are valued for their simplicity and low power consumption, often being the choice for battery-operated or portable devices.
*AMBA AXI* is characterized by its advanced features, supporting high data bandwidth and flexible configurations. AXI IPs are used where the highest performance is needed, leveraging features like burst transactions, multiple outstanding addresses, and out-of-order transaction completion, making it suitable for complex and demanding tasks.
Integrating these semiconductor IPs into your system ensures that you leverage their specialized features for increased efficiency and performance. In products that require robust, flexible, and scalable communication channels, AMBA interface controllers and PHYs provide the backbone necessary to build systems that can meet current and future demands.
Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB) is one of the Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) family protocols. It is a low-cost interface that is designed for low power consumption and interface simplicity. Unlike AHB, it is a non-pipelined protocol for connecting low-bandwidth peripherals. Mostly used to link external peripherals to the SOC. Every APB transfer requires at least two clock cycles (SETUP Cycle and ACCESS Cycle) to finish. The APB interface is designed for accessing the programmable control registers of peripheral devices. The APB protocol has two independent data buses, one for read data and one for write data. The buses can be 8, 16, or 32 bits wide. The read and write data buses must have the same width. Data transfers cannot occur concurrently because the read data and write data buses do not have their own individual handshake signals.
The bus converter module transforms wide initiator data buses to smaller target data buses or vice-versa. A narrow target on a wide bus, only requires external logic and no internal design changes. * APB: 32-bit wide initiator data buses to 16-bit target data buses. * AHB: 64-bit wide initiator data buses to 32-bit target data buses. * AXI: 256-bit wide initiator data buses to 64-bit target data buses A wide target on a narrow bus, only requires external logic and no internal design changes. * APB: 16-bit wide initiator data buses to 32-bit target data buses. * AHB: 32-bit wide initiator data buses to 64-bit target data buses. * AXI: 64-bit wide initiator data buses to 256-bit target data buses.
AMBA AHB is a bus interface designed for high-performance synthesizable applications. It specifies the interface between components such as initiator , interconnects, and targets. AMBA AHB incorporates the features needed for high-performance, high clock frequency systems. The most common AHB targets are internal memory devices, external memory interfaces, and high-bandwidth peripherals.
The Advanced eXtensible Interface(AXI) bus is a high-performance parallel bus that connects on-chip peripheral circuits (or IP blocks) to processor cores. The AXI bus employs "channels" to divide read and write transactions into semi-independent activities that can run at their own pace. The Read Address and Read Data channels send data from the target to the initiator, whereas the Write Address, Write Data, and Write Response channels transfer data from the initiator to the target.
