AHB-Lite to AXI4 Bridge IP Core

Interface Between AHB-Lite Manager and AXI4 Subordinate

The Lattice Semiconductor AHB-Lite to AXI4 Bridge provides an interface between a single high speed AHB-Lite manager (compliant to AMBA 3 AHB-Lite Protocol Specification) and a AXI4 subordinate (compliant to AMBA AXI and ACE Protocol Specification Version H.c).

The design is implemented in Verilog HDL. It can be configured and generated using the Lattice Propel Software and implemented within Lattice Radiant software. It supports CertusPro™-NX and Lattice Avant™-NX FPGA devices.

Resource Utilization details are available in the IP Core User Guide.

Features

  • Supports configurable data bus width: 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, and 1024 bits.
  • Supports configurable address width: 11 to 32 bits.
  • Supports narrow transfer where the requested transfer size can be less than data bus.
  • Supports write/read data bus pipeline for relaxing timing critical path.
  • Supports Secure Access at AXI interface.

Notes:
1. Address width is always set to 32 bits in all configurations listed.
2. The resource values are populated using LAV-AT-E70-1LFG676C device compiled in the Lattice Radiant 2023.1 design software with Synplify Pro. When the IP is combined with other blocks in the FPGA, the value can be expected to vary from the value in the table.
