The JEDEC committee created the JESD204 data converter serial interface standard to standardize and reduce the number of data inputs/outputs between high-speed data converters and other devices, such as FPGAs. The protocol has many advantages, such as simplified layouts, skew management, and deterministic latency.
Altera JESD204 IP simplifies the integration of high-speed data converters with digital processing systems. The IP supports data rates as high as 32.44 Gbps and manages the physical, data link, and transport layers while simplifying configuration, clock synchronization, and data transmission.
IP is pre-verified and JEDEC Compliant which is crucial for ensuring interoperability and reliability in high-speed data applications. The IP includes design examples simplifying integration and enabling ease-of-use reducing development time for designers.
