SmartDV’s JESD204 Cyclic FEC IP is a robust solution engineered to improve link reliability and data integrity in high-speed serial interfaces, fully aligned with JESD204B, JESD204C, and JESD204D standards. Tailored for use in high-performance data converter systems, wireless infrastructure, radar, and test & measurement applications, the IP integrates cyclic redundancy-based Forward Error Correction (FEC) to detect and correct transmission errors efficiently, ensuring robust data transfer over lossy or bandwidth-constrained channels.

It supports programmable FEC parameters including codeword length, parity polynomial configuration, and error correction depth, allowing designers to fine-tune protection levels and latency based on system requirements. The architecture is optimized for low-latency correction with minimal impact on throughput, making it suitable for real-time applications.

Designed for flexibility, the IP core is highly configurable to meet specific design requirements, supporting both ASIC and FPGA implementations while optimizing for area, power, and performance. It can be easily integrated into JESD204-compliant transmitter and receiver pipelines, with support for multi-lane synchronization and deterministic latency operation.
