ALSE's Aurora 8B/10B IP Core is a streamlined protocol providing high-speed, low-latency serial communications suitable for intra-chip and inter-chip connectivity solutions. Designed in alignment with the Xilinx LogiCORE protocol, this IP extends compatibility across various FPGA platforms, including Altera/Intel, Lattice, and Microchip, facilitating multi-vendor chip communications.
Engineered for versatility, this IP supports full-duplex and simplex operations at up to 6.6 Gbps per transceiver lane, with the potential for higher data rates depending on hardware specifics. It is particularly useful for applications requiring scalable solutions, such as board-to-board communication or backplane connections, utilizing up to 16 transceiver lanes for maximal data throughput.
This IP's technical features include comprehensive clock compensation, advanced flow control systems, and flexible data path configurations based on operating mode and connection width. The integration is facilitated by low FPGA resource demands, maximizing performance-to-area efficiency while ensuring ease of use with standardized interface compatibility like AXI and Avalon-ST.
