SENT/SAE J2716 Transmitter

The CSENT-TX core implements a transmitter for the Single Edge Nibble Transmission (SENT) protocol.

Overview

The CSENT-TX core implements a transmitter for the Single Edge Nibble Transmission (SENT) protocol. It complies with the SAE J2716 standard and supports both synchronous and asynchronous transmission modes.

Under asynchronous mode, the core autonomously, without requiring any extra action from the host system, initiates transmission, as soon as data become available in its input-data register. Under synchronous mode, transmission is triggered by either the host system via the core’s control registers, or when the core receives a valid master trigger pulse via the SENT interface.

Designed for ease of use and integration, the core reports its status using two signals, one indicating that a transmission is in progress, and a second one reporting the completion of a frame's transmission. Furthermore, the CSENT-TX provides access to its control, status, and data registers via a 32-bit APB, or an AXI4 or a generic subordinate interface. Implementation of the core is straightforward, as the core contains no latches or tri-states, is fully synchronous with a single clock domain, and includes no multicycle or false paths.

The CSENT-TX core is designed with industry best practices, has been rigorously verified and is production proven.

JESD204 Frame Mapping explained from converter samples to lanes

The JESD204 Transport Layer oversees converter data mapping onto a set of JESD204 Lanes. The nature of these lanes is dependent on the version of the JESD204 standard and a function of the PCS and over the years despite the Serdes technology changing with ever increasing line rates, the function and features of the Transport Layer remained the same

Integrating PQC into a widely deployed IKEv2 implementation is an important step toward making secure communication future-proof. We integrated ML-KEM, the NIST-standardized module-lattice KEM, into StrongSwan’s IKEv2 stack using our own KiviPQC-KEM hardware accelerator.

VESA Adaptive-Sync V2 Operation in DisplayPort VIP

In a computer system, both the GPU as well as the monitor have a certain rate at which they render or update an image, respectively. The rate is nothing but the frequency at which the image is refreshed (updated in the image it shows/displays), usually expressed in hertz, and can vary based on the content displayed on the screen.
