ChipBridge is an AXI4-based connectivity solution from ALSE, tailored to enhance peripheral management by providing chip-to-chip communication capabilities. It extends the AXI4 interconnect framework beyond the primary chip, addressing challenges of peripheral connectivity within complex system architectures.
This innovative IP eliminates the typical hindrances of peripheral interfacing, such as voltage translation, signal integrity issues, and layout complexities. By using high-speed transceivers, ChipBridge efficiently maps peripherals to an external FPGA, maintaining high bandwidth and low latency.
Compatible with a broad range of FPGA platforms from vendors such as Lattice, AMD/Xilinx, and Altera/Intel, ChipBridge is versatile and adaptable. This IP leverages the Aurora Light 64B/66B protocol for physical linking, ensuring a robust and streamlined communication channel that meets the demands of sophisticated industrial applications.
