Intel FPGA JESD204B IP Core and ADI AD9208 Hardware Checkout Report for Intel Stratix 10 Devices

The Intel FPGA JESD204B IP core is a high-speed point-to-point serial interface intellectual property (IP).

The JESD204B IP core has been hardware-tested with a number of selected JESD204B-compliant ADC (analog-to-digital converter) devices.

This report highlights the interoperability of the JESD204B IP core with the AD9208 converter evaluation module (EVM) from Analog Devices Inc. (ADI). The following sections describe the hardware checkout methodology and test results.

Hardware Requirements

The hardware checkout test requires the following hardware and software tools:

Intel^® Stratix^® 10 GX H-Tile FPGA Development Kit (ES Edition)(1SG280HU1F50E1VGS1)
ADI AD9208 EVM
Micro-USB cable
MMPX-to-SMA cables
Clock source card capable of generating ADC sampling clock and FPGA device clock frequencies as listed in Table 6.
Note: In this application note, the Analog Devices ADF4355 clock source card is used. Review the clocking scheme with the clock source card manufacturer of your choice.

Hardware Setup

An Intel^® Stratix^® 10 GX H-Tile FPGA Development Kit (ES Edition) is used with the ADI AD9208 daughter card module installed to the development board’s FMC connector.

The AD9208 EVM derives power from FMC pins.
The FPGA device clock is supplied by Si5341 and the sampling clock to the ADC AD9208 EVM is given by external clock source ADF4355.
The ADF4355 derives reference clock from the FPGA fPLL. This fPLL derives the reference clock from the device_clk which is supplied by the Si5341 clock generator.
For Subclass 1, the FPGA generates SYSREF for the JESD204B IP core as well as the AD9208 device.
SYSREF is provided to the ADC through SMA connector.
Note: Intel^® recommends the SYSREF to be provided by the clock generator that sources the device_clk to FPGA and sampling clock to ADC.

Figure 1. Hardware Setup

The following system-level diagram shows how the different modules connect in this design.

Figure 2. System Diagram

In this setup, where LMF = 882, the data rate of transceiver lanes is 16.0 Gbps. An external clock source card provides 400 MHz clock to the FPGA and 1600 MHz sampling clock to AD9208 device. A periodic SYSREF is generated by the FPGA and provided to the ADC through the SMA connector. The JESD204B IP core is instantiated in Duplex mode but only the receiver path is used.

Hardware Checkout Methodology

The following section describes the test objectives, procedure, and the passing criteria. The test covers the following areas:

Receiver data link layer
Receiver transport layer
Descrambling
Deterministic latency (Subclass 1)

Receiver Data Link Layer

This test area covers the test cases for code group synchronization (CGS) and initial frame and lane synchronization (ILA).

On link start up, the receiver issues a synchronization request and the transmitter transmits /K/ (K28.5) characters. The Signal Tap Logic Analyzer tool monitors the receiver data link layer operation.

Test Case	Objective	Description	Passing Criteria
CGS.1	Check whether sync request is deasserted after correct reception of four successive /K/ characters.	The following signals in <ip_variant_name>_inst_phy.v are tapped: `jesd204_rx_pcs_data[(L32)-1:0]` `jesd204_rx_pcs_data_valid[L-1:0]` `jesd204_rx_pcs_kchar_data[(L4)-1:0]` ¹ The following signals in <ip_variant_name>.v are tapped: `rx_dev_sync_n` `jesd204_rx_int` The `rxlink_clk` is used as the sampling clock for the Signal Tap. Each lane is represented by 32-bit data bus in `jesd204_rx_pcs_data` signal. The 32-bit data bus for is divided into 4 octets.	/K/ character or K28.5 (0xBC) is observed at each octet of the `jesd204_rx_pcs_data` bus. The `jesd204_rx_pcs_data_valid` signal is asserted to indicate data from the PCS is valid. The `jesd204_rx_pcs_kchar_data` signal is asserted whenever control characters like /K/, /R/, /Q/, or /A/ characters are observed. The `rx_dev_sync_n` signal is deasserted after correct reception of at least four successive /K/ characters. The `jesd204_rx_int` signal is deasserted if there is no error.

Each lane is represented by 32-bit data bus in `jesd204_rx_pcs_data`. The 32-bit data bus for is divided into 4 octets.	/R/ character or K28.0 (0x1C) is observed after /K/ character at the `jesd204_rx_pcs_data` bus. The `jesd204_rx_pcs_data_valid` signal must be asserted to indicate that data from the PCS is valid. The `rx_dev_sync_n` and `jesd204_rx_int` signals are deasserted. Each multiframe in ILAS phase ends with /A/ character or K28.3 (0x7C). The `jesd204_rx_pcs_kchar_data` signal is asserted whenever control characters like /K/, /R/, /Q/, or /A/ characters are observed.

Receiver Transport Layer

To check the data integrity of the payload data stream through the JESD204B receiver IP Core and transport layer, the ADC is configured to output PRBS-9 and Ramp test data pattern. The ADC is also set to operate with the same configuration as set in the JESD204B IP Core. The PRBS checker/Ramp checker in the FPGA fabric checks data integrity for one minute.

This figure shows the conceptual test setup for data integrity checking.

The following signals in altera_jesd204_transport_rx_top.sv are tapped: `jesd204_rx_data_valid` The following signals in jesd204b_ed.sv are tapped: `data_error` `jesd204_rx_int` The `rxframe_clk` is used as the sampling clock for the Signal Tap. The `data_error` signal indicates a pass or fail for the PRBS checker.	The `jesd204_rx_data_valid` signal is asserted. The `data_error` and `jesd204_rx_int` signals are deasserted.
TL.2	Check the transport layer mapping using PRBS-9 test pattern.	The following signals in `altera_jesd204_transport_rx_top.sv` are tapped: `jesd204_rx_data_valid` The following signals in jesd204b_ed.sv are tapped: `data_error` `jesd204_rx_int` The `rxframe_clk` is used as the sampling clock for the Signal Tap. The `data_error` signal indicates a pass or fail for the PRBS checker.	The `jesd204_rx_data_valid` signal is asserted. The `data_error` and `jesd204_rx_int` signals are deasserted.

Descrambling

The PRBS/Ramp checker at the receiver transport layer checks the data integrity of descrambler.

The Signal Tap Logic Analyzer tool monitors the operation of the receiver transport layer.

Table 4. Descrambler Test Cases
Test Case	Objective	Description	Passing Criteria
SCR.1	Check the functionality of the descrambler using Ramp test pattern.	Enable scrambler at the ADC and descrambler at the JESD204B receiver IP Core. The signals that are tapped in this test case are similar to test case TL.1	The `jesd204_rx_data_valid` signal is asserted. The `data_error` and `jesd204_rx_int` signals are deasserted.
SCR.2	Check the functionality of the descrambler using PRBS-9 test pattern.	Enable scrambler at the ADC and descrambler at the JESD204B receiver IP Core. The signals that are tapped in this test case are similar to test case TL.2	The `jesd204_rx_data_valid` signal is asserted. The `data_error` and `jesd204_rx_int` signals are deasserted.

Deterministic Latency (Subclass 1)

The figure below shows the block diagram of deterministic latency test setup. A SYSREF generator in the FPGA provides a periodic SYSREF pulse for both the AD9208 and JESD204B IP Core. The SYSREF generator is running in the link clock domain and the period of SYSREF pulse is configured to the desired multiframe size. The SYSREF pulse restarts the LMF counter and realigns it to the LMFC boundary.

Figure 4. Deterministic Latency Test Setup Block Diagram

The deterministic latency measurement block checks deterministic latency by measuring the number of link clock counts between the start of de-assertion of SYNC~ to the first user data output.

Figure 5. Deterministic Latency Measurement Timing Diagram

With the setup above, four test cases were defined to prove deterministic latency. The JESD204B IP Core does continuous SYSREF detection. The SYSREF N-shot mode is enabled on the AD9208 for this deterministic latency measurement.

Table 5. Deterministic Latency Test Cases
Test Case	Objective	Description	Passing Criteria
DL.1	Check the FPGA SYSREF single detection.	Check that the FPGA detects the first rising edge of SYSREF pulse. Read the status of `sysref_singledet (bit[2])` identifier in `syncn_sysref_ctrl` register at address 0x54. Read the status of `csr_sysref_lmfc_ err (bit[1])` identifier in the `rx_err0` register at address 0x60.	The value of `sysref_singledet` identifier should be zero. The value of `csr_sysref_lmfc_err` identifier should be zero.
DL.2	Check the SYSREF capture.	Check that FPGA and ADC capture SYSREF correctly and restart the LMF counter. Both FPGA and ADC are also repetitively reset. Read the value of `rbd_count (bit[10:3])` identifier in `rx_status0` register at address 0x80.	If the SYSREF is captured correctly and the LMF counter restarts, for every reset, the `rbd_count` value should only drift within 1-2 link clocks due to word alignment.
DL.3	Check the latency from start of SYNC~ deassertion to first user data output.	Check that the latency is fixed for every FPGA and ADC reset and power cycle. Record the number of link clocks count from the start of SYNC~ deassertion to the first user data output, which is the assertion of `jesd204_rx_link_valid` signal. The deterministic latency measurement block in Figure 4 has a counter to measure the link clock count.	Consistent latency from the start of SYNC~ deassertion to the assertion of `jesd204_rx_link_valid` signal.
DL.4	Check the data latency during user data phase.	Check that the data latency is fixed during user data phase. Observe the ramp pattern from the Signal Tap Logic Analyzer.	The ramp pattern should be in perfect shape with no distortion.

The following figure shows the Signal Tap waveform of the link latency count from the deassertion of SYNC~ to the assertion of the jesd204_rx_link_valid signal. The link latency count (in link clock cycles) measures the first user data output latency.

Figure 6. Deterministic Latency Measurement Ramp Test Pattern Diagram

Test Result Comments

In each test case, the JESD204B receiver IP core successfully initialize from CGS phase, ILA phase, and until user data phase.

No data integrity issue is observed by the PRBS and Ramp checker for all JESD configurations.

In the deterministic latency measurement, consistent total latency is observed across multiple power cycles or resets.

For a few JESD configurations, to avoid lane de-skew error or achieve deterministic latency on FPGA, RBD offset/lmfc offset register needs to be programmed. The modes and the corresponding values used are tabled below.

Appendix

Device Used and Quartus Tool Version

For interoperability with ADC AD9208, two device variants of Intel^® Stratix^® 10 are used.

For lane rates above 15G and up to 16G: 1SG280HU1F50E1VGS1 (Transceiver speed grade -1 device)
For lane rates of 15G and lower: 1SG280HU2F50E2VGS1 (Transceiver speed grade -2 device)

Except for the modes LMF 821/822/841/842, these modes were generated in Transceiver speed grade -1 device in order to achieve timing.

Intel^® Quartus^® Prime Pro Edition software version 17.1 IR2 Build 50 is used for compilation of designs.

Timing Closure Details

To achieve timing closure, the I/O ports of Assembler (Assembler to JESD IP) & De-assembler (JESD IP to De-assembler) were pipelined for the test modes LMF 882 & 884.

Synthesis/Fitter Settings:

The following Analysis/Fitter settings were added to the qsf file to close the timing requirements for the variants LMF 882 & LMF 884.

Compiler Setting	Value Used	Default Value
Optimization Technique	Speed	Balanced
Optimization Mode	Aggressive	Balanced
Router Timing Optimization Level	Maximum	Normal
Auto Packed Registers	Normal	Auto
Physical Synthesis	ON	OFF
Restructure Multipliers	OFF	Auto
Fitter Initial Placement Seed	1-10	1

Additional JESD modes supported by ADC:

The modes enlisted here have not been validated in this interoperability test, but they are supported by the ADC. These have been tabulated here for future reference.
