PDI Description
III-120 Slave Controller – IP Core for Altera FPGAs
10.5.4 Timing specifications
The AXI PDI accepts read and write accesses simultaneously. Nevertheless, the AXI PDI is internally
restricted to perform one access in a single clock cycle (either read or write). Simultaneous read and
write accesses are internally serialized to meet this requirement. The worst case timing increases in
this situation as indicated in the AXI timing characteristics. In other words, the internal bandwidth is
shared between read and write channel if both make accesses simultaneously. If only one channel is
used, it gets the full bandwidth.
