Design, Verification, and Implementation of AHB5 Compliant 8 k Memory for High-Performance Embedded Systems

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

This paper elucidates the advanced design of AHB5 master/slave interface and 8 K memory modules that feed through all past the memory limitation interfaces and conduct a discourse. The AHB5 protocol is a widely used bus protocol in SoC design, and our design integrates an AHB5 bus and a 8 K memory module that facilitate data exchange and concurrent memory access. The master/slave interface is designed to effect high-speed data transfers and the 8 K memory module will provide more storage space for demanding applications. The verification process established by us leads to a good and highly impressive formal verification effort using JasperGold, demonstrating the robust and reliable design with functional coverage of 72.7%. Our verification plan consists of defining the AHB5 protocol parameters, outlining the desired responses from the memory system, and developing SystemVerilog assertions to test the validity of these assertions in design. The results confirm that our design implements the AHB5 protocol for both sequential/ non-sequential transfers, read/write transfers with different data widths, and stalls due to the HMASTLOCK and HTRANS_IDLE conditions. The successful verification of our design proves it to be functional and correct for it to fit in modern-day high-performance embedded systems’ applications. The AHB5 master/slave interface and 8 K memory module design is well suited for automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics applications. With the high functional coverage and thorough verification, our design stands to revolutionize the performance of embedded systems, providing a reliable memory tool for demanding applications.
