Interlaken Core

Overview

Xilinx Interlaken IP core is based on Sarance Technologies Best-In-Class Intellectual Property

Interlaken is a scalable chip-to-chip interconnect protocol designed to enable transmission speeds from 10Gbps to 150Gbps. The Interlaken specification minimizes the pin and power overhead of chip-to-chip interconnect and features a flexible protocol layer which provides a scalable solution that can be used throughout an entire system. In addition, Interlaken uses two levels of CRC checking and a self-synchronizing data scrambler to ensure data integrity and link robustness.  Xilinx Interlaken IP Core based on Sarance Technologies Intellectual Property is optimized for Xilinx Gigabit Transceiver technology and is delivered as a netlist implemented in Virtex FPGA families. The core is compliant with the Interlaken Protocol Definition, Revision 1.2, and offers system designers with a risk-free and quick path for adopting Interlaken as their chip-to-chip interconnect protocol.
