AHB to AXI Bridge

Design IP

Overview

SmartDV’s AHB to AXI Bridge IP Core provides a seamless interface between AMBA AHB and AXI protocols, enabling smooth integration of legacy AHB-based components with modern AXI-based systems. Designed for interoperability and high-throughput data transfer, it is ideal for SoC designs requiring efficient communication across mixed bus architectures.

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

Seamless AHB to AXI Connectivity – Enables communication between AHB masters and AXI slaves for streamlined SoC integration
Burst and Transfer Mode Support – Handles incrementing, wrapping, and fixed bursts, along with narrow transfers for flexible data handling
Independent Read/Write Logic – Uses separate state machines for read and write paths, enabling efficient parallel transaction processing
Timeout Protection – Supports address and data phase timeouts to prevent bus lockups and enhance system reliability
Flexible Configuration Options – Allows customization of data widths, address ranges, endianness, and HRESP signal usage
Cross-Width Bridging – Supports different data bus widths between AHB and AXI interfaces, enabling broader design compatibility
