These are 2 completely unrelated products from Synopsys, see: ?a)?https://www.synopsys.com/dw/ipdir.php?ds=amba_ahb_dma ?b)?https://www.synopsys.com/dw/ipdir.php?ds=amba_axi_dma > Is the spec publicly available? I'm afraid not. Synopsys customers may get DW AXI DMAC databook here: https://www.synopsys.com/dw/doc.php/iip/DW_axi_dmac/latest/doc/DW_axi_dmac_databook.pdf Just a side note "DW" prefix stands for DesignWare and applicable to most if not all IP libs from Synopsys so here we're talking about AHB DMAC vs AXI DMAC. Still my understanding is different bus type is not the one and only difference but just the one which might simplify selection of one or another IP block. -Alexey
