AMBA: Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture

Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) was introduced in 1996 and is widely used as the on-chip bus for Advanced RISC Machine (ARM) processors. AMBA is designed for use in System-on-a-chip (SoC) systems. The important aspect of a SoC is not which components or blocks it houses, but how they are implemented. AMBA is a solution for the blocks to interface with each other.
