Highly configurable high-speed serial link controller

Overview

The GRHSSL IP is a highly configurable high-speed serial link controller, described in VHDL. It can implement:

* SpaceFibre controller (GRSPFI)
* WizardLink controller (GRWIZL)
* ...or both (GRHSSL)

Thanks to the DMA engine, receive and transmit data are autonomously transferred between the serial link and the on-chip bus, which in turn can be either AMBA AHB or AXI.

Key Features

  • SpaceFibre codec designed according to the SpaceFibre specification ECSS-E-ST-50-11C, single-lane implementation
  • WizardLink codec designed to interface with Texas Instrument TLK2711 transceiver
  • The IP can inter-operate with off-chip SerDes devices or with FPGA/ASIC hard macros
  • Optional 8b10b encoding
  • Support for wide (36/40) or narrow (16/20) SerDes interfaces
  • Configurable number of DMA channels
  • Optional SpaceFibre RMAP support
  • Optional fault tolerant features
  • Support for both big-endian and little-endian systems
