AHB to APB Bridge
Design IP
Overview

SmartDV’s AHB to APB Bridge IP is a high-performance solution that enables seamless communication between the high-speed AMBA AHB bus and the low-power APB peripheral bus. It efficiently translates AHB transactions into APB-compliant accesses, making it ideal for integrating low-bandwidth peripherals such as UARTs, GPIOs, and timers into high-performance SoC designs. Commonly used in microcontroller subsystems, consumer electronics, and embedded processing units, the bridge simplifies peripheral access while maintaining system efficiency and performance.

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.
