The AHB-Lite Multilayer Switch by Roa Logic is engineered to provide a high-performance, low-latency interconnect fabric for systems employing numerous AHB-Lite bus masters and slaves. This IP core enables configurations that support virtually unlimited bus connections, facilitated by slave-side arbitration for each slave port, thereby eliminating the need for individual bus masters to implement arbitration logic.
A standout feature of this switch is its use of priority and round-robin based arbitration methods to efficiently manage multiple bus requests. Typically achieving arbitration within a single clock cycle, this design ensures minimal delay in data transfer across the network, promoting seamless communication in complex systems.
With a fully parameterized architecture, it allows for the customization of bus interfaces to meet specific design needs, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance across varied configurations. Complete source code and comprehensive documentation are made available through Roa Logic’s GitHub repository, providing developers with the resources needed for successful integration and deployment.
