The Interlaken 600G IP core handles the intricate details of transporting data over an Interlaken link. The user interface is a simple packet interface designed to allow easy integration of the Interlaken 600G IP core into a system.
The LBUS consists of the following separate interfaces:
- Transmitter (TX) interface
The transmitter accepts packet-oriented data, packages the data in accordance with the Interlaken specification, and sends that packaged data to the serial transceiver macros. The transmitter has control/configuration inputs to shape the data packaging to meet specific user requirements.
- Receiver (RX) interface
The receiver accepts Interlaken bitstreams from the serial transceiver, removes the Interlaken packaging, and provides packet oriented data.
- Status/Control interface
The Status/Control interface sets the characteristics of the interface and monitors its operation.
