The SerialLite MegaCore function provides a simple and lightweight way
to move data from one point to another reliably at high speeds. It consists
of a serial link of up to 16 bonded lanes, with logic to provide a number
of basic and optional link support functions. The Atlantic interface is used
as the primary access for delivering and receiving data.
The SerialLite protocol specifies a link that is simple to build, uses as little
logic as possible, and requires little work for a logic designer to utilize. All
of the features available in the SerialLite protocol have been implemented
in the SerialLite MegaCore function and are parameterizable through a
powerful MegaWizard
A link built using the SerialLite MegaCore function can operate at speeds
from 500 Mbps to 3.125 Gbps. Link reliability is enhanced by the 8B/10B
encoding scheme and optional cyclic redundancy code (CRC)
capabilities. Further reductions in the bit-error rate can be achieved using
the optional retry-on-error feature. Data rate and consumption
mismatches can be accommodated using the optional
clock-compensation and flow-control features to ensure that no data is
lost.
The combination of optional capabilities makes the link well-suited to a
wide variety of applications. It is intended to support chip-to-chip,
board-to-board, and cross-backplane data transfers.
