2.4.1. Address channels

The address channel timing diagrams are provided in:

The diagrams provided in Figure 2.10 and Figure 2.11 illustrate the timing for the write address channel. The timing for the read address channel is the same as that shown for these figures. The signal name prefixes change from AW to AR.

Zero latency

Figure 2.10 shows the write address channel for a transaction with zero latency. This zero latency is because the address channel arbiter has already granted the master.

With latency

Figure 2.11 shows the write address channel for a transaction with latency. The one cycle latency at T1-T2 for AWVALIDSx and AWVALIDMx is caused by the address arbiter switching from the old master to the new one.
