Note

Although the AMBA Network Interconnect only outputs 32 address bits, you can configure the
APB address of any peripheral to be anywhere in the address map.

Configuration options

You can configure the following options:

•

data width downsize function that

•

frequency domain crossing for the majority of APB ports of the following types:
—

ASYNC

—

SYNC 1:1

—

SYNC 1:n

—

SYNC n:1

—

SYNC n:m.

•

buffering that

FIFO and clocking function

on page 2-15 describes

•

1-16 supported APB slaves

•

•

you can configure each APB slave for:
—

APB2 or APB3

—

asynchronous interface to the majority of APB ports.
