4.5.3. Using Bridges to Minimize Adapter Logic

Platform Designer generates adapter logic for clock crossing, width adaptation, and burst support when there is a mismatch between the clock domains, widths, or bursting capabilities of the host and agent interface pairs.

Platform Designer creates burst adapters when the maximum burst length of the host is greater than the host burst length of the agent. The adapter logic creates extra logic resources, which can be substantial when your system contains host interfaces connected to many components that do not share the same characteristics. By placing bridges in your design, you can reduce the amount of adapter logic that Platform Designer generates.
