A.1. AMBA APB signals

The Dual-Timer module is connected to the AMBA APB as a bus slave. Table A.1 describes the APB interface signals.

Table A.1. AMBA APB signal descriptions

NameTypeSource/DestinationDescription
PADDR[11:2]InputAPB bridgeSubset of the AMBA APB address bus.
PCLKInputClock generatorAMBA APB clock.
PENABLEInputAPB bridgeAMBA APB enable signal. PENABLE is asserted HIGH for one cycle of PCLK to enable a bus transfer.
PRDATA[31:0]OutputAPB bridgeUnidirectional AMBA APB read data bus.
PRESETnInputReset controllerAPB bus reset signal, active LOW.
PSELInputAPB bridgeTimer module select signal from the decoder within the APB bridge. When HIGH this signal indicates the slave device is selected by the APB bridge, and that a data transfer is required.
PWDATA[31:0]InputAPB bridgeUnidirectional AMBA APB write data bus.
PWRITEInputAPB bridgeAMBA APB transfer direction signal, indicates a write access when HIGH, read access when LOW.
