SpaceFibre Single-Lane Router |

Overview
| The SpaceFibre Multi-Lane Interface IP Core provides a complete SpaceFibre interface which is able to provide higher data rates than can be provided by a single-lane interface. The total data rate is the lane rate multiplied by the number of lanes. For example, a four-lane interface will provide up to 12.5 Gbit/s in the Microchip RTG4 FPGA and 25 Gbit/s in the RT PolarFire. It is an efficient design and delivers very high data rates using a small percentage of a host FPGA. Typically a four-lane interface with two virtual channels, which is ideal for a high data rate instrument interface, will take around 12.5% of an RTG4 and around 2.5% of an RT PolarFire. This leaves most of the FPGA for the user application. The STAR-Dundee SpaceFibre Multi-Lane Interface IP Core is straightforward to use, with little knowledge of SpaceFibre required to implement the IP in an FPGA. Reference designs are provided for several FPGAs to accelerate development time. The complex task of interfacing properly to the host FPGA SerDes is handled by the IP core. The SpaceFibre Multi-Lane Interface IP Core is fully compliant with the SpaceFibre standard, ECSS-E-ST-50-11C.Additional details on this IP can be found at SpaceFibre Multi-Lane Interface
