Designing with AMD Serial Transceivers ONLINE

Training Duration: 3 sessions (6 hours per session) 

 

PLEASE NOTE: This is a LIVE INSTRUCTOR-LED training event delivered ONLINE.

It covers the same scope and content as a scheduled in-person class and delivers comparable learning outcomes.

Course Description

Learn how to employ serial transceivers in UltraScale™ and UltraScale+™ FPGA designs or Zynq™ UltraScale+ MPSoC designs.

The focus is on:
  • Identifying and using the features of the serial transceiver blocks, such as 8B/10B and 64B/66B encoding, channel bonding, clock correction, and comma detection
  • Utilizing the Transceivers Wizards to instantiate transceiver primitives
  • Synthesizing and implementing transceiver designs
  • Taking into account board design as it relates to the transceivers
  • Testing and debugging

FPGA designers and logic designers

  • Verilog or VHDL experience (or Comprehensive Verilog or Comprehensive VHDL course)
  • Familiarity with logic design (state machines and synchronous design)
  • Basic knowledge of FPGA architecture and AMD implementation tools is helpful
  • Familiarity with serial I/O basics and high-speed serial I/O standards is also helpful
  • Vivado™ System Edition
  • Mentor Graphics Questa Advanced Simulator
