Overview

Industry Leading, AXI5-Stream Solution for UCIe D2D Stacks

The AXI-S Protocol Layer for UCIe is a protocol adapter layer between a Streaming AXI Bus and the FDI interface of the UCIe D2D Adapter. It allows for efficient communication across chiplets using the light weight AXI Streaming Protocol. The IP includes both the TX and RX direction with configurable data bus width and the expected ready valid handshaking with wakeup capability, strb, keep, last indications for data flagging,  id, dest for steam identification and routing and the user sideband information.

The IP Core is silicon and PHY agnostic implementation of AXI5 Stream Protocol Layer for UCIe following the v2.0 standard, targeting ASIC applications. The IP core is thoroughly tested in System Verilog random regression environment. The IP comes with a parameter based flexible data bus width and has gone through extensive testing. The IP core is silicon proven, heavily tested in UVM regression environment and has been interoperability tested and integrated with a leading UCIe PHY provider.

The AXI-S Protocol Layer interfaces to the UCIe Die to Die Adapter IP with the Flit-Aware Die to Die Interface (FDI). The IP is customizable in its data width and contains all the necessary features for compliant AXI-S transfers across UCIe.

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

Why What Where DIFI and the new version 1.3

This article will introduce the main concepts of the Digital Intermediate Frequency Interoperability (DIFI) standard including the new features introduced in version 1.3.  With no assumptions of prior knowledge from the reader this should serve as an introduction to the standard but also for those familiar with DIFI raise awareness of the added features of link establishment in new standard version.

Multiple ways JESD204 performs bitstream alignment

Bitstream alignment is a function of the Receiver (RX), as seen in the figure below it is the first functional block of the receiver right after the clock domain crossing (CDC) and gear boxing which are quite generic Serdes adaptation layer that can be found in almost every design working with a Serdes.
