Course Description

Learn how to employ serial transceivers in your 7 series FPGA design. Understand and utilize the features of the serial transceiver blocks, such as 8B/10B and 64B/66B encoding, channel bonding, clock correction, and comma detection. Additional topics include use of the 7 Series FPGAs Transceiver Wizard, synthesis and implementation considerations, board design as it relates to the transceivers, and test and debugging. This course combines lectures with practical hands-on labs.

Lab Descriptions
  • Lab 1: 8B/10B Encoding and Bypass Utilize the 8B/10B encoder and decoder and observe running disparity. Learn how to bypass the 8B/10B encoder and decoder.
  • Lab 2: Commas and Data Alignment Use programmable comma detection to align a serial data stream.
  • Lab 3: Clock Correction Utilize the attributes and ports associated with clock correction to compensate for frequency differences in the TX and RX clocks.
  • Lab 4: Channel Bonding Modify a design to use two transceivers bonded together to form one virtual channel.
  • Lab 5: Transceiver Core Generation Use the 7 Series FPGAs Transceivers Wizard to create instantiation templates.
  • Lab 6: Simulation Simulate the transceiver IP using the IP example design.
  • Lab 7: Implementation Implement the transceiver IP using the IP example design.
  • Lab 8: 64B/66B Encoding Generate a 64B/66B transceiver core by using the 7 Series FPGAs Transceivers Wizard, simulate the design, and analyze the results.
  • Lab 9: Transceiver Debugging Debug the transceiver IP using the IP example design and Vivado debug cores.
  • Lab 10: IBERT Create an IBERT design to verify physical links.
  • Lab 11: System Perform all design steps from planning the design, generating the core, integrating the core into a design, simulating, implementing and debugging the design, and optimizing the link parameter using an evaluation board.

* This course focuses on the Kintex-7 architecture. Check with your local Authorized Training Provider for the specifics of the in-class lab board or other customizations.
