What is APB?
APB likely refers to the Advanced Peripheral Bus. It's part of the ARM AMBA (Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture) family of buses and is commonly used for low-bandwidth peripheral connections within a system-on-a-chip (SoC). It's designed for power efficiency and simplicity, making it suitable for connecting peripherals like UARTs, timers, and I/O ports.
What other technologies are related to APB?
APB Competitor Technologies
AHB
Advanced High-performance Bus (AHB) is another bus protocol in the AMBA family, used for high-performance system backbones. It's a competitor because APB is for lower bandwidth peripherals.
AXI
Advanced eXtensible Interface (AXI) is a higher-performance bus protocol than APB, used for high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnect. Thus it is a competitor.
AMBA AXI
AXI is higher performance than APB, targeting high-bandwidth and low-latency. Hence, it's a competitor.
CHI
Coherent Hub Interface (CHI) is a very high-performance interconnect, used for chip-level communication in complex SoCs. It is a competitor, as APB would not typically be used in these scenarios.
PCIe
PCIe is a high-speed serial bus for connecting peripherals to a computer. It competes with AMBA buses in high bandwidth applications.
ACE
AMBA Coherency Extensions (ACE) is another extension to AXI for cache coherency, aimed at high-performance systems and therefore a competitor.
APB Complementary Technologies
System Verilog
SystemVerilog is a hardware description and verification language used to design and verify APB interfaces and systems. It's complementary.
Verilog
Verilog is a hardware description language that can be used to design APB interfaces. It is complementary.
UVM
Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) is a standard methodology for verifying hardware designs, including those using APB. It is complementary.
