AMBA controllers and peripherals
ARM documentation set for ARM AMBA controllers and peripherals, Intellectual Property (IP) macrocells for Systems-on-Chip. Includes AXI and AHB interconnect, Dynamic and Static Memory Controllers, Interrupt, Color LCD, and Cache Controllers, GPIOs, UARTs, and TrustZone peripherals.
ARM AMBA controllers and peripherals are re-usable Intellectual Property (IP) macrocells developed to enable the rapid assembly of System-on-Chip designs.
AMBA controllers and peripherals comply with AMBA AXI, AHB, and APB standards. They provide functionality for very high performance matrix interconnects through to simple I/O. For example:
- Interconnect Generation
- Memory Controllers
- DMA Controllers
- Level-2 Cache Controllers
- LCD Controllers
- Interrupt Controllers
- GPIOs & UARTs
