Description

Protocol Features

  • Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) JESD204B.01, 2012 standard release specification
  • Device subclass:
    • Subclass 0—Backwards compatible to JESD204A.
    • Subclass 1—Uses SYSREF signal to support deterministic latency.
    • Subclass 2—Uses SYNC_N detection to support deterministic latency.

Core Features

  • Agilex™ 5: Data rate of 2.0 to 19.66 gigabits per second (Gbps)—supports operation beyond JESD204B standard specifications (operation above 12.5 Gbps is outside the scope of JEDEC-defined characterization)
  • Agilex™ 3: Data rate of 2.0 to 12.5 Gbps—per JESD204B specification
  • Single or multiple lanes
    • Supports 1, 2, 4, 6, or 8 lanes per link for Agilex™ 5
    • Supports 1, 2, or 4 lanes per link for Agilex™ 3
  • Serial lane alignment and monitoring
  • Lane synchronization
  • Modular design that supports multidevice synchronization
  • MAC and PHY partitioning
  • Deterministic latency support
  • 8b/10b encoding
  • Scrambling/Descrambling
  • Avalon® streaming interface for transmit and receive datapaths
  • Avalon® memory-mapped interface for Configuration and Status registers (CSR)
  • Dynamic generation of simulation testbench

Typical Application

  • Wireless communication equipment
  • Broadcast equipment
  • Military equipment
  • Medical equipment
  • Test and measurement equipment

Device Family Support

  • Agilex™ 5 devices
  • Agilex™ 3 devices

Design Tools

  • Platform Designer parameter editor in the Quartus® Prime software for design creation and compilation
