Designing with Xilinx Serial Transceivers
Course Description
Learn how to employ serial transceivers in 7 series, UltraScale™, UltraScale+™ FPGA or Zynq® UltraScale+ MPSoC designs.
The focus is on:
- Identifying and using the features of the serial transceiver blocks, such as 8B/10B and 64B/66B encoding, channel bonding, clock correction, and comma detection
- Utilizing the Transceivers Wizards to instantiate transceiver primitives
- Synthesizing and implementing transceiver designs
- Taking into account board design as it relates to the transceivers
- Testing and debugging
