چکیده

Advanced microcontroller bus architecture (AMBA) is rapidly becoming the de facto standard for new system-on-chip (SoC) designs. The bus protocol is complex, making any peripherals that can interface to it valuable intellectual property (IP). This paper presents a lowpower bus encoding architecture which is able to deal with the complex advanced highperformance bus (AHB) protocol within AMBA, which involves multiple burst transfers. The architecture is targeted for a low-power SoC platform to be used in a miniaturised low power application area. The paper describes the SoC platform and the bus encoding architecture, and provides results with a design synthesised at 0.35 mm CMOS technology indicating up to 22% power saving.

Low Power Analysis of Network-Level On-chip communication using Asynchronous AMBA protocol

Network on-chip (NoC) is a novel structural design template, which can be defied for complicated system level on-chip design. NoC has a potential to limit and present the bus-based communication. In this paper, the crisis to discuss is Low power consumption in an Asynchronous Network on-chip (NoC) level communication. NoC is implemented using FPGA which has less fabrication cost and reduces the...

Model checking the AMBA protocol in HOL

The Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) is an open Systemon-Chip bus protocol for high-performance buses on low-power devices. In this report we implement a simple model of AMBA and use model checking and theorem proving to verify latency, arbitration, coherence and deadlock freedom properties of the implementation. Typical microprocessor and memory verifications assume direct conn...
