ALSE's Aurora 64B/66B Core is a streamlined protocol ideal for high-speed data exchanges across chip-to-chip, board-to-board, and backplane communications using advanced transceivers. Uniquely compact and optimized, this implementation ensures compatibility with Xilinx’s version, supporting growth across multiple FPGA platforms, including high-end Intel and Microchip's PolarFire.
By maximizing on efficiency, the Aurora 64B/66B Core offers superior data bandwidth—up to 97%—surpassing the earlier 8B/10B protocol, which delivered 80%. This enhancement allows for better utilization of available network capacity, driving up system performance and ensuring that connections between diverse FPGAs or with other chips like ASICs are seamless and effective.
Moreover, this core includes critical features such as full-duplex and simplex operations, multiple lanes utilization, flow control, and clock compensation, thereby enriching interoperability and synchronization between digital components. The architectural design extends this IP's usability to modern high-speed communication demands, making it a preferred choice for industries focused on fast, reliable data transmission.
