ARM's series of AMBA specifications have become the de facto standard for SoC (system-on-chip) interconnects since ARM introduced the first version of the specification more than 15 years ago. ARM introduced the latest version of the specification, AMBA 4, in March 2010. AMBA 4 is actually a collection of specifications (including AXI4, AXI4-Lite, and AXI4-Streaming), which may well revolutionize the future of high-performance SoC interconnects.

Based on the industry's needs, AMBA 4 resulted from a collaborative effort by more than 35 of the industry’s leading OEM, semiconductor, EDA, and IP vendors. The AMBA 4 protocol is available now. It directly addresses the needs of high-performance, low-latency, and low-power designs. Learn More...
