ARINC 818 Transceiver

Overview

Great River's ARINC 818 IP Core provides an easy way to implement ARINC 818–compliant interfaces in Xilinx and Altera PLDs. The core can achieve ARINC 818 interfaces up to 4.25 Gbps. The core can be used for transmit-only, receive-only, or transmit-and-receive applications.

The core has many flexible compile-time settings, allowing for various link speeds, line segmentations, and line-synchronization methods. It can be configured for various resolutions and pixel packing methods. Ancillary data can use default values set at compile time, or data can be updated in real time via register interface.
