Customer Remarks

“Nuvation has been a select member of our Certified Design Center program for several years, as well as a design services vendor to Altera. We have been consistently impressed with the caliber of their organization, the time-to-market acceleration that they enable, and their strong track record across our broad customer base.”
-- Altera

"Nuvation has been a long standing Xilinx XPERT partner and consistently delivers leading edge designs and rapid design cycles for our OEM customers.”
-- Xilinx

"Nuvation recently helped us to complete a complex design. The combination of Nuvations design experience with FPGA's and our engineering and design expertise with Analog-to-Digital Converters created a very useful test and characterization solution for one of our new series of data converters. It is fun working with Nuvation. They met all expectations."
-- Texas Instruments

Transparent Mapped GFP IP Core
Preliminary Product Brief

Features | Block Diagram | Device Utilization | Contact |


Description

The GFP-T Core receives decoded 1 or 2 Gbit 8B/10B Fibre Channel client characters and maps them into fixed-length transparent GFP superblock frames according to the Transparent GFP specifications set out in ITU-T G7041.Y.1303(12/2003). The core is optimized for Altera devices.

Features

  • Compliant with ITU-T Rec. G.7041/Y.1303 (12/2003) Specification for Transparent GFP
  • Supports Client Data at 1 or 2 Gbps rates
  • Supports Transparent Fibre Channel with Null Extension Header & no Payload FCS
  • Maps Fibre Channel onto a GFP-T Frame of 13 Superblocks: (13 x (65Bx8 + 16) + 8x8)) = 13x536 + 64 bits/frame = 7032 bits/frame per the recommendation of Appendix IV in G.7041
  • 7032 bits/frame size allows for insertion of 1 Client Management Frame (CMF) between data frames for maximum SDH path capacity in VC-4-6v (for 1gbps FC) and VC-4-12v (for 2gbps FC)
  • Datapath interfaces adhere to Altera’s Atlantic Specification
  • Register Interface for CMF insertion/extraction, core configuration and monitoring
  • CMF Payload Information Field set at 8 bytes
  • cHEC error detection and single-bit error correction.
  • eHEC,tHEC, & CRC SuperBlock error detection
  • Automatic 65B_PAD/10B_ERR code insertion
