A Reconfigurable AHB Interface Component for SOC

In this paper, a reconfigurable AHB interface component was designed. This component is for AHB slave devices in SOC. Various types of data interfaces such as register, interrupt, SRAM and FIFO are provided with high configurability. The performance and reusability are both considered. This AHB interface component was successfully applied to chips for DAB and DRM receivers. A typical application of this component in DRM receiver has an area of 0.078mm2 in 0.18 m CMOS process.
