General Description
CoreAHB2APB (AMBA Bridge) is an AHB slave that links
the AHB bus to the APB bus and acts as the Master on
the APB bus. Address decoding for the APB bus is carried
out within CoreAHB2APB, and this provides select signals
for up to 16 APB slave slots.

Fusion
IGLOO™
IGLOOe
ProASIC®3L
ProASIC3
ProASIC3E
Read and write transfers on the AHB bus are converted
to corresponding transfers on the APB bus. Highbandwidth peripherals, such as memory controllers, are
typically connected to the AHB, whereas the APB bus is
used for less demanding peripherals, such as watchdogs.
Unlike the AHB bus, transfers on the APB bus are not
pipelined.

Ordering Information
CoreAHB2APB is included in the SysBASIC core bundle supplied with the Actel CoreConsole IP Deployment Platform
(IDP). The obfuscated RTL version of SysBASIC (SysBASIC-OC) is available for free with CoreConsole. The source RTL
version of SysBASIC (SysBASIC-RM) can be ordered through your local Actel sales representative. CoreAHB2APB cannot
be ordered separately from the SysBASIC core bundle.

Datasheet Categories
In order to provide the latest information to designers, some datasheets are published before data has been fully
characterized. Datasheets are designated as "Product Brief," "Advanced," and "Production." The definitions of these
categories are as follows:
Product Brief
The product brief is a summarized version of an advanced or production datasheet containing general product
information. This brief summarizes specific device and family information for unreleased products.
Advanced
This datasheet version contains initial estimated information based on simulation, other products, devices, or speed
grades. This information can be used as estimates, but not for production.
Unmarked (production)
This datasheet version contains information that is considered to be final.
