"Internal communication bus" refers to a communication bus that connects or couples to a device or component at points within a device, housing or compartment that includes the device or component. In certain embodiments, an internal communication bus comprises a local interconnect, including a point to point interconnect, between two or more electronic components and may be implemented within a printed circuit board. Examples of an internal communication bus and/or associated protocols include, but are not limited to an Advanced eXtensible Interface (AXI), an ARM Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA), a System Management Bus (SMBus, SMB), Inter-integrated Circuit (I2C), GENz, I3C, Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) bus, and the like.In one embodiment, the internal communication bus may comprise a single bus or a combination of two or more busses. For example, in one embodiment, the internal communication bus may comprise a central bus (e.g., an Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (“AMBA”) High-performance Bus (“AHB”) multi-layer matrix bus for the data path and an advanced peripheral bus (“APB”) for the command path.
