Abstract

This user's guide explains the methods to align multiple JESD204 receiver lanes in AFE79xx using Receive Buffer Delay (RBD). In practice, the JESD204 receiver requires buffering of various delays in the received lanes in order to ensure deterministic data throughout the data bus. A key feature in AFE79xx can optimize the buffer pointer through internal lane-to-lane skew and arrival of lane time stamps with respect to the JESD204 clock. The AFE79xx JESD204 receiver block has unique features to read the skew and arrival of lanes with respect to Local Multi Frame Clock (LMFC)/ Local Extended Multiblock Clock (LEMC) clock to help find the right RBD for the system.

The user's guide is structured as follows:

  • Understand the need for alignment across lanes.
  • Basic review of JESD protocol to help understand functioning of RBD.
  • Procedure to find the optimal RBD in AFE79xx with examples using C Application Process Interface (CAPI).
  • Potential RBD alarms and alarm recovery plans.
