The Aurora 8B/10B Core facilitates high-speed serial communication suitable for various chip-to-chip and board-to-board applications. An open protocol, it is designed to offer low latency and efficient data transit across a range of systems. Unlike other protocols, Aurora 8B/10B enables high-speed interconnection without necessitating a processor or complex setup, making it a favorable choice for efficient data linkage across devices by minimizing the resource footprint.
This IP is fully compatible with Xilinx Logicore IP, extending its utility to cover an extensive variety of FPGA platforms, including Altera/Intel, Lattice, and Microchip. It's engineered to work seamlessly with hardware from varied FPGA vendors, providing interoperability that ensures sustained service across multiple platforms. The design supports full-duplex, simplex Tx, and Rx operations, with operating speeds demonstrated at up to 6.6 Gbps per lane, depending on the transceiver core specifications of the FPGA.
The Aurora 8B/10B Core can accommodate multiple transceiver lanes, providing scalable options for integrating into larger systems where data throughput is crucial. Paired with low power consumption and requiring minimal resources, it is an excellent choice for applications demanding high reliability and performance in constrained environments. This makes it particularly well-suited for communication-intensive applications spanning industrial and consumer markets.
