Why the address width of MMU-500 is different with Cortex-A53/57?

I find the description below from MMU-500 TRM.

Address width

The incoming address width is fixed at 49 bits, where A[48] specifies VA sub-ranges. You must tie all unused bits to zero. The output address width is 48 bits and the width of the AC address

bus is 48 bits.

But I know that the AXI address width of Cortex-A53/57 is 44 bits.

So If Cortex-A53/57 and MMU500 are connected with the same CCI-400 interconnect, will CCI-400 ensure the matching of  address width, or will MMU500 only connect 44 bits output address with CCI-400?

And I find that the address width of Cortex-A7/15 and MMU-400 is 40 bits, I am confused about MMU-500.

Would you please kindly explain this? Thanks.

  • Thanks a lot. I also find that the address width of MMU500 is configurable from the description below.

    SMMU_IDR2:

    UBS, bits[11:8] Upstream Bus Size. The encoding of this field is:

    0b0000        32-bit upstream bus size.

    0b0001        36-bit upstream bus size.

    0b0010        40-bit upstream bus size.

    0b0011        42-bit upstream bus size.

    0b0100        44-bit upstream bus size.

    0b0101        49-bit upstream bus size.

    OAS, bits[7:4] Output Address Size. This specifies the maximum number of PA bits that an SMMU implementation supports:

    0b0000        32-bit.

    0b0001        36-bit.

    0b0010        40-bit.

    0b0011        42-bit.

    0b0100        44-bit.

    0b0101        48-bit.

    IAS, bits[3:0]  IPA Address Size. This specifies the maximum number of IPA bits that an SMMU implementation supports:

    0b0000        32-bit.

    0b0001        36-bit.

    0b0010        40-bit.

    0b0011        42-bit.

    0b0100        44-bit.

    0b0101        48-bit.
