DesignWare IP Solutions for AMBA - APB Advanced Peripherals

The DesignWare APB Advanced Peripheral components include many of the industries commonly used interface IP. The components are highly configurable providing the design engineer the flexibility to tailor the components to their desired design requirements. Comprehensive subsystems can be quickly assembled using coreAssembler, an included graphical based subsystem assembly tool. coreAssembler automates the subsystem assembly and IP configuration which includes the creation of an initial verification testbench environment enabled by DesignWare Verification IP, thus reducing the time to first simulation.

The DesignWare APB Advanced Peripheral components for AMBA are available in encrypted format as part of the DesignWare Library. RTL source code is available for license separately, on a pay-per-use basis as part of the DWC APB Advanced Peripherals license package.
