This document presents design techniques and reference circuits that power VIRTEX™-4 FXRocketIO™ multi-gigabit transceivers (MGTs) operating at data rates below 3.125 Gb/s.When using multiple transceivers, it is sometimes preferred to power them from a switchingpower supply. However, switching power supplies generate noise that affects transceiver
VIRTEX-5, Spartan-DSP FPGAs Application Note
This application note demonstrates how efficient implementations of Digital Up Converters(DUC) and Digital Down Converters (DDC) can be done by leveraging the Xilinx DSP IPportfolio for increased productivity and reduced time to development. Step-by-step instruction is given on how to perform system-level trade off analysis and develop the most efficient FPGA implementation, thus allowing engineers a flexible, low-cost and low-power alternative to ASSP technologies.
This application note describes how the existing dual-port block memories in the Spartan™-IIand VIRTEX™ families can be used as Quad-Port memories. This essentially involves a dataaccess time (halved) versus functionality (doubled) trade-off. The overall bandwidth of the blockmemory in terms of bits per second will remain the same.
The PPC405 VIRTEX-4 is a wrapper around the VIRTEX-4PowerPC™ 405 Processor Block primitive. For detailsregarding the PowerPC 405, see the PowerPC 405 ProcessorBlock Reference Guide.
The LogiCORE™ GTP Wizard automates the task of creating HDL wrappers to configure the high-speed serial GTP transceivers in VIRTEX™-5 LXT and SXT devices. The menu-driven interface allows one or more GTP transceivers to be configured using pre-definedtemplates for popular industry standards, or from scratch, to support a wide variety of custom protocols.The Wizard produces a wrapper, an example design, and a testbench for rapid integration and verification of the serial interface with your custom function
Features• Creates customized HDL wrappers to configureVIRTEX-5 RocketIO™ GTP transceivers• Users can configure VIRTEX-5 GTP transceivers toconform to industry standard protocols usingpredefined templates, or tailor the templates forcustom protocols• Included protocol templates provide support for thefollowing specifications: Aurora, CPRI, FibreChannel 1x, Gigabit Ethernet, HD-SDI, OBSAI,OC3, OC12, OC48, PCI Express® (PCIe®), SATA,SATA II, and XAUI• Automatically configures analog settings• Each custom wrapper includes example design, testbench; and both implementation and simulation scripts
