JESD204 Verification IP

Overview

Comcores has a solid track record of delivering JESD204B and JESD204C solutions, to support the IPs we offer the verification IP for JESD204, which supports both the JESD204B and JESD204C version. Furthermore, it will support JESD204D (once the standard is published). The JESD204 Verification IP provides an advanced and efficient solution for verifying and debugging these standards in a UVM simulation environment.

The verification IP helps reduce time to test, accelerate verification process and ensures a high quality for the end-product. Comcores JESD204 VIP is prepared for seamless functionality on all major simulators with UVM support.

Predictions and expectations of the upcoming JESD204D standard

Morten Kofoed Esbjørn - May 2, 2023.JESD204 Standard which was first introduced in 2006 is one of the key standardized serial interface between data converters (ADCs and DACs) and logic devices (FPGAs or ASICs) and has come a long way since its introduction, evolving with multiple iterations from JESD204B to JESD204C. The latest iteration of this standard the JESD204D is expected to release in Q4 2023 and if you are curious about the latest developments expected in the JESD204 standard, then...

What is interlaken?

Morten Kofoed Esbjørn - Oct 31, 2022. Interlaken provides a standardized serial interface that is agnostic of underlying SerDes implementations. It ensures reliable transfer of data over a configurable number of physical connections and can be configured to support multiple lane configurations. The Interlaken protocol provides mechanisms to ensure the integrity of data transfer as well as manage data flows to ensure that the chip is not overloaded. These mechanisms effectively increase the...
