The 8b/10 Decoder from Roa Logic is a comprehensive implementation of the well-known 8b10b line coding scheme, utilized for achieving DC-balance and bounded disparity during serial data transmission. This system is essential for maintaining synchronization between data and clock signals, thus utilized in high-speed data transmission protocols to enable reliable data recovery.
This decoder efficiently translates 10-bit encoded symbols into 8-bit data while continuously monitoring for bit errors. It adeptly recognizes and processes special comma characters, with intrinsic functionality for identifying K28.5 symbols widely used across many data communication standards.
The architecture of the 8b/10 Decoder allows for cascading to support 16b20b decoding, expanding its utility in complex serial communication systems. Its design is fully synthesizable, making it versatile across different technology platforms. Roa Logic supports developers with easily accessible documentation and source materials available on GitHub, fostering straightforward adoption and integration into modern data transmission systems.
