Donna Simon, Guruprasad.U

Abstract: Real time system is dependent on its real time system interconnect architecture characteristics. It determines its performance. If system interconnect is not designed effectively it can affect communication between memory or between peripheral devices and various memory. Hence memory access time has become a bottle neck which in turn boundaries system performance. Memory controller is considered to tackle problem. Interconnection system known as AMBA is an efficient specification for management of functional blocks. This paper concentrates on effective design of a memory controller using AMBA bus protocol for memory image transfer applications. Memory controller is designed using conventional finite state machine. AMBA is implemented on Xilinx spartan6 FPGA chip
