PRODUCTION DATA
The devices uses a JESD204C high-speed serial interface to transfer data from the logic device to the receiving DAC. The device serial lanes are capable of operating with both 8b/10b encoding and 64b/66b encoding. The JESD204C formats using 8b/10b encoding are backwards compatible with existing JESD204B receivers. A maximum of 16 lanes can be used to lower lane rates for interfacing with speed limited logic devices. There are a few differences between 8b/10b and 64b/66b encoding, which is highlighted throughout this section. Figure 7-50 shows a simplified block diagram of the 8b/10b encoded JESD204C interface and Figure 7-51 shows a simplified block diagram of the 64b/66b encoded JESD204C interface.
Not all optional features of JESD204C are supported by the device. The list of features that are supported and the features that are not supported is provided in Table 7-15

The various signals used in the JESD204C interface and the associated device pin names are summarized briefly in Table 7-16 for reference.
SIGNAL NAME | DEVICE PIN NAMES | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|---|
Data | [15:0]SRX± | High-speed serialized data after 8b/10b or 64b/66b encoding that is received by the SerDes receivers. |
SYNC | SYNC | Link initialization signal (handshake), toggles low to start code group synchronization (CGS) process. Not used for 64B/66B encoding modes. |
Device clock | CLK+, CLK– | DAC sampling clock, also used for clocking digital logic and SerDes receivers. |
SYSREF | SYSREF+, SYSREF– | System timing reference used to deterministically reset the internal local multiframe clock (LMFC) or local extended multiblock clock (LEMC) counters in each JESD204C device |
