AHB-to-APB Bus Bridge Design for System-on-Chip

A hardware interface block that connects the high-speed AHB and the low-power APB of the AMBA on-chip bus family within a System-on-Chip. The bridge translates AHB's pipelined burst transactions into APB's simpler single-cycle transactions and manages clock-domain synchronization, handshaking, and flow control, so that fast processor-and-memory components can communicate correctly with slower peripherals. Such a bridge is typically described in a hardware-description language, verified with testbenches, and realized on an FPGA.
