Product Description

The UltraScale+™ FPGAs GTM Tranceivers Wizard IP core helps configure one or more serial transceivers. You can start from scratch, input your requirements, and generate valid configurations. The flexible Transceivers Wizard generates a customized IP core for the transceivers, configuration options, and enabled ports you have selected, optionally including a variety of helper blocks to simplify common functionality. In addition, the Wizard can produce an example design for simple simulation and hardware usage demonstration.

Key Features and Benefits

Simple and intuitive feature selection flow
Automatically sets transceiver parameters
Available helper blocks to simplify common or complex transceiver usage
Example design with configurable PRBS generator, checker, and link status indicator to demonstrate functionality in simulation and hardware
