SLVS-EC v3.0/3.1 Rx IP

Overview

SLVS-EC v3.0/3.1 Rx IP is an interface IP core that runs on Altera® FPGAs. Using this IP, you can quickly and easily implement products that support the latest SLVS-EC standard v3.1. You will also receive an "Evaluation kit" for early adoption.

  • Altera® FPGAs can receive signals directly from the SLVS-EC Interface.
  • Compatible with the latest SLVS-EC Specification Version 3.1.
  • Supports powerful De-Skew function. Enables board design without considering Skew that occurs between lanes.
  • "Evaluation kit” is available for speedy evaluation at the actual device level.

Features

  • SLVS-EC Specification Version 1.2/2.0/3.0 and the latest 3.1 are supported.
  • Provides various functions defined in the SLVS-EC Link Layer.
    • Selectable 32 or 64 pixel for output interface
    • Supports 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 bit/pixel
  • Realizes transfer with less overhead compared to conventional ANSI 8b10b by taking advantage of GCC (Gigabit Channel Coding) features added in the latest SLVS-EC Version 3.0/3.1.
  • Supports error correction using Error Correction Code (ECC)
  • Supports Byte to Pixel conversion in 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 lane configurations.
  • Header analysis and payload error detection.
  • Compile options allow removal of unnecessary functions.
