The ChipBridge AXI4 Connectivity solution by ALSE is designed to extend AXI4 communication beyond the primary FPGA chip to encompass external peripherals. This innovation enables master FPGAs or ASICs to effectively control numerous peripherals, streamlining the connection and expansion of system architecture.
ChipBridge simplifies interfacing by using a transceiver and minimal wiring to achieve high-speed data transfers while maintaining system performance and reliability. Its design minimizes costs and power consumption by allowing the use of less expensive peripheral FPGAs while offloading intensive tasks from the master chip.
This solution is instrumental in applications demanding logical distribution and control of peripherals, especially where design flexibility, cost reduction, and signal integrity are crucial. It offers compatibility across many leading FPGA platforms, ensuring broad usability and seamless integration into existing designs.
