JESD204B/C Receiver IP

Design IP

Overview

SmartDV’s JESD204B/C Receiver IP is a silicon-proven solution designed to support high-speed serial interfaces for data converters in next-generation communication, industrial, and data acquisition systems. Fully compliant with the JESD204B and JESD204C standards, it enables efficient, low-latency, and high-throughput data transmission between ADCs/DACs and logic devices.

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. With support for lane synchronization, deterministic latency, and subclass handling, SmartDV’s JESD204B/C Receiver IP is ideal for applications requiring robust data integrity and precise timing.

Benefits

High-Speed Data Reception – Handles link rates up to 12.5 Gbps with programmable clock frequency up to 12.5 GHz for robust converter-to-SoC data capture.
Scalable Lane Architecture – Configurable 1–8 lanes with selectable SerDes interface widths (10/20/40/60 bits and custom per lane) to balance bandwidth and resource use.
Robust Synchronization & Deterministic Latency – Supports Subclass 0/1/2 (JESD204B) and Subclass 1 (JESD204C) with lane alignment, frame/multiframe control, MCDA-ML (Multiple-Converter Device Alignment, Multiple-Lanes), and HD-mode operation.
Flexible Link & Payload Configuration – Programmable link parameters: 1–64 converters per receiver, 1–8 samples per converter, 1–32 frames per multiframe, frame sizes of 1/2/4/8/16 octets, CF = 0 or 1 control words per frame clock period per link, and 0–3 control bits per sample.
Precise Data Formatting – Supports 1–32-bit sample widths per converter and standardized 4/8/12/16/20/24/28/32-bit samples, plus block padding as required by the application.
Programmable Identification & Monitoring – Full ID programmability with Bank ID (BID) 0–15, Device ID (DID) 0–255, Lane ID (LID) 0–7, and comprehensive error statistics reporting for link health and debug.
Standards-Aligned Line Coding – 8b/10b decoding (JESD204B) and optional data scrambling per spec for improved signal characteristics and EMI behavior.
Optimized for SoC Integration – Clean integration to AXI-Stream or parallel data buses, with receiver status/monitoring registers for straightforward bring-up and production test.

Compliance and Compatibility

Fully compliant with JEDEC JESD204B (including Versions A/B and Subclass 0/1/2) and JESD204C specifications
