The CoreAHBtoAPB3 acts as a bridge. It incorporates an Advanced High-performance Bus (AHB) slave and an Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA®) 3 Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB) master to translates read and write operations from the AHB bus to the APB bus. CoreAHBtoAPB3 further connects to CoreAHB or CoreAHBLite via its AHB interface and to CoreAPB3 via its APB interface. The user can connect high bandwidth peripherals, such as memory controllers to the AHB bus. Conversely, less demanding peripherals, such as GPIOs, are connected to the APB bus due to its lack of pipelining.
