| IS1 | S-FPDP |
| Objectives | |||
| The course details the hardware implementation of S-FPDP and clarifies the operation of 8b10b encoder/decoder. |
|||
| Transfer sequences captured with the Absolut-Analysis equipment are studied to explain the frame formats and the flow control mechanism. |
|||
| The course describes the parameterizing of the Xilinx S-FPDP IP based on Multi Gigabit transceiver integrated in Virtex FPGAs. |
|||
| A more detailed course description is available on request at info@ac6-training.com | |||
