Design and Verification of AMBA AXI3 Protocol for High Speed Communication

Micro-electronics are now very important in every part of a person's life in the age of present technology. Due to this, the demand for their components and their availability decreases the amount of time they can be made and raises the failure rate of the final product. Therefore methods that increase the of hardware design and verification effectiveness and efficiency are extremely valuable. Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) is an open-standard, on-chip interface inter connect. That provides the standard set of rules to achieve the communication inside the system on chip. AXI-Advanced Extensible interconnect comes under the AMBA family and is used to communicate (transfer) the data from high-speed IP cores (master-slave). High frequency and high performance system designs are offered by AXI. It is a protocol for on-chip communication. It is appropriate for low-delay designs with large bandwidth and frequency. It is compatible with current APB and AHB interfaces. The AXI protocols unique address, data phases and control are one of its defining characteristics. The work involved in the design of AXI protocol in an effective manner using the System Verilog. The design is verified using the QuestaSim tool.
