Abstract
This paper elaborates the AMBA bus interface bridge between memory controller and other supporting
peripheral. The work claims the integration with FIFO, RAM and ROM with slave interface and the master of
AHB bus. The AHB master initiates the operation and generates the necessary control signal. Memory
controller is implemented with finite state machine considering with all the peripheral works in synchronous
mode. Despite these shortcomings of the work performed study and development that followed has led the
development of a memory controller on AMBA-AHB bus at a very advanced stage and next to prototyping.
VHDL code is utilized to develop the design and it is synthesized in Xilinx Virtex 6 device (XC6VCX75T).
The design claims a minor area overhead with improvement in speed 185.134 MHz.
Index Terms: AMBA, AHB Master, AHB Slave, SOC, Xilinx.

1. Introduction
Technological developments in the world industrialization have allowed the integration of more and more
functions on the same digital integrated circuit. Today, several microprocessors, hardware accelerators,
communications systems diverse and with even operating systems. this allows therefore perform all the
functions necessary to perform complex computer processing on the same chip, hence the birth of the concept
of systems on chip (System on Chip), successors of specialized circuits ASIC (Application Specific Integrated
Circuit) [1].
