Unified Interconnect IP Core

High-performance and Low-latency Interconnect Fabric

The Lattice Semiconductor Unified Interconnect IP Core delivers an advanced, low-latency interconnect fabric optimized for APB, AHB-Lite, AXI4 and AXI4-Lite systems. Designed for efficiency and scalability, it enables seamless migration for designs that meet the feature requirements.

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

Features

  • Each external manager (EM) or external subordinate (ES) can be configured to support various protocols.

    • INCR and FIXED bursts.
      • Supports three types of responses:
        • AXI OKAY
        • AXI DECERR – when undefined external subordinate address region is accessed.
        • AXI SLVERR – for pass through from the external subordinate.
  • Supports reduced resource optimization, including:
    • Read-only manager and subordinate
    • Write-only manager and subordinate
    • Crossbar paths restriction with configured connectivity map
