Electronics. Nuclear engineering A new methodology and definition for a clearer compatibility for middle-range and low-end Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) transceiver is presented in this research. It has been a big challenge to balance between cost and performance in order to meet the full industrial protocol specification for middle-range and low-end FPGA.

With this kind of situation, there are no guidelines can be followed; hence, users will not have confidence to design the product. In this research, a clearer compatible specification is obtained to provide channel loss requirement by extracting the timing margin at different test points.

The middle-range FPGA that used in this research is Arria V GT device to define the new compatible specification with reference to IEEE 10GBASE-KR protocol where the compatible specification is used for board-based 10Gbps applications. The methodology used is by extracting the timing margin and find out the channel loss from 3 different test points which include Scenario 1) Transmitter is Arria V GT; Receiver is Compliant Receiver, Scenario 2) Transmitter and Receiver are from Arria V GT and Scenario 3) Transmitter is Compliant Transmitter; Receiver is from Arria V GT. 16-ps of timing margin is obtained from the research, while the channel loss for Scenario 1 is -16dB, Scenario 2 is -12dB and Scenario 3 is -17dB with error-free transfer for BER10-12 2014 Thesis http://eprints.usm.my/40928/ http://eprints.usm.my/40928/1/TAN_SHWU_FEI_24_pages.pdf application/pdf en public masters Universiti Sains Malaysia Pusat Pengajian Kejuruteraan Elektrik dan Elektronik
