The AMBA (Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture) standard, widely used in System-on-Chip (SoC) designs, enables efficient management of IP cores by providing a modular, scalable architecture that reduces redesign efforts and shortens integration time. Different versions of AMBA introduce various communication interfaces, such as APB (Advanced Peripheral Bus), ASB (Advanced System Bus), AHB (Advanced High-Performance Bus), AXI (Advanced eXtensible Interface), ACE (AXI coherency Extension), and CHI (Coherent Hub Interface). Detailed RTL (Register Transfer Level) schematics support design optimization, with Verilog HDL playing a key role in the process, guided by VLSI principles. A novel codebase was developed from scratch to synthesis the proposed architecture. The optimized performance is seen for Effort High Condition with Total Power optimization at 17% due optimization of Switching Power by 34%, Cell Area optimization by 7%.
