The PS-PL Arm Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) specification interfaces in the Versal adaptive SoC have similar functionality to Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoCs, as shown in the following table.

Note: Enabling and disabling the different power domains in the LPD, FPD, and PL enables and disables the AXI connections to those domains.
Important: Because the DDR memory controller is shared between the PS and PL via the device-wide, high-performance NoC interface, there are fewer PS-PL AXI interconnects.
