Aurora 64B/66B FPGA Code Module

Lowest latency, high bandwidth serial communications between multiple Speedgoat FPGA I/O modules and external devices with on-board FPGA

This FPGA code module offers a flexible way of implementing multi-gigabit links between multiple Simulink-programmable FPGA Modules, and external devices with on-board FPGA.

Common use cases

  • Demanding closed-loop controls and plant simulation applications where algorithms run on one or multiple Simulink-programmable FPGAs, and where hundreds of fast analog and digital I/O lines provided by multiple FPGAs are required at the same time
  • Acquisition and signal generation of very fast analog and digital I/O, also requiring data exchange and synchronization between multiple FPGAs
  • Distributed controller and HIL systems setups connected with isolating fiber optic SFP+ transceivers and cabling

Key Specifications

  • Available for internal FPGA to FPGA I/O module communication via high speed SAMTEC copper cabling, or external fiber optic communication leveraging SFP+ and QSFP+ transceivers
  • Full-duplex (independent data transfer in both directions) or simplex (data transfer in either one of the direction) implementations available
  • Default line rate 3.125 Gsps. Lines rates up to 12.5 Gsps can be supported with the IO342 Kintex Ultrascale FPGA I/O module
  • Default reference clock 156.25 MHz
  • Compliant with Xilinx Aurora 64B/66B SP011 (V1.3) protocol specification
