AHB Arbiter
Design IP
Overview

SmartDV’s AHB Arbiter IP is a silicon-proven solution that efficiently manages multiple AHB master interfaces competing for bus access in AMBA® AHB-based systems. It supports fixed-priority, round-robin, and user-defined arbitration schemes, ensuring deterministic and conflict-free data transfers. With built-in support for locked transfers and customizable arbitration logic, it offers the flexibility needed for complex SoC designs across automotive, industrial, and consumer applications.

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.

AHB Arbiter
