Overview

ARINC 818 is a point-to-point serial protocol primarily used in avionics applications and supports the transmission of video, audio, and data. It is a flexible protocol that supports a wide variety of data rates and image formats.

The ARINC 818 Streaming core is an IP block that allows an FPGA to easily interface with an ARINC 818 input or output. It converts the ARINC 818 data stream to/from a parallel pixel bus to facilitate the development of custom FPGA logic. The core handles all aspects of maintaining the ARINC 818 link: encoding/decoding, delimiter insertion/removal, and transmission of idles.

Video parameters (resolution, pixel depth, etc.) are user modifiable and the core can be configured to cover a wide range of possible ICDs. The core also features a built in timing engine that automatically regulates timing characteristics (Frame Rate, Line Rate, etc.) to user specification. The flexibility of user ICD definition allows standard video formats like 1080p @ 60Hz and 1280×1024 @ 60Hz but also custom and unique resolutions or timing parameters.

The core performs a real-time, low latency conversion, which makes it ideal for use with protocol bridging and real-time image processing applications. This design is a lightweight counterpart to the complete embedded solution, the ARINC 818 DMA IP Core.

Key features

  • Flexible video pixel bus input with synchronization signals (video_active, vsync, hsync) that supports a wide range of pixel depths and number of parallel pixels
  • Compatible with all FC line rates up to 10G (incl. non-standard rates)
  • Core handles synchronization and clock crossing into the FC clock domain. User clock can be asynchronous to the FC clock
  • Automatic creation and maintenance of the Object 0 and container header
  • 8b/10b encoding/decoding of FC data. Core manages K-Characters and running disparity

Enabling High Performance SoCs Through Multi-Die Re-use

This paper gives a high-level overview of a technique for rapid design of new IC designs using multiple dice packaged in a variety of aggregations allowing for differnent performance levels and price points to be achieved. The technique relies on a new high-bandwidth low pin-count communication channel between two or more dice.

An HDTV SoC Based on a Mixed Circuit-Switched / NoC Interconnect Architecture (STBus/VSTNoC)

This paper presents the interconnect solution adopted for an HDTV SoC developed in HVD division of STM. The SoC is a one-chip satellite HDTV set-top box IC developed in 65nm technology. The interconnect of this HDTV SoC is the first in STM implementing a mixed archi­tecture based on the circuit-switched interconnect named STBus and the new NoC interconnect named VSTNoC.
