The SerDes project operates by efficiently converting data between parallel and serial formats, enabling seamless communication between systems with different data transfer requirements. Here’s how it works:
Serialization Path:
data_8b_in input.clk) and when the data enable signal (data_en) is active, the input data is latched to ensure synchronization.ser_out output when the serializer enable signal (ser_en) is asserted.Deserialization Path:
ser_in input.par_en) is active.clk) and when the data enable signal (data_en) is active to ensure synchronization.data_out output.Synchronization and Reset:
rst) ensures proper initialization of internal state variables and output data.Integration and Flexibility:
data_en, ser_en, par_en) to tailor the operation to specific requirements.Overall, the SerDes project offers an efficient and reliable solution for bidirectional data conversion, enabling seamless communication between systems with disparate data transfer interfaces.
The provided RTL project implements a Serializer and Deserializer (SerDes) module capable of converting data between parallel and serial formats. The module, encapsulated within serdes_top, features inputs for clock signal (clk), active high reset (rst), data enable signal (data_en), and control signals for serialization (ser_en) and deserialization (par_en). Parallel data is input through data_8b_in, undergoing latching, encoding into 10-bit data, and serial output (ser_out) generation during serialization, while serial input (ser_in) undergoes deserialization, parallelization, and output (data_out) generation. Synchronous reset ensures proper initialization, and latch modules synchronize data. The project facilitates seamless integration into larger systems, offering flexibility and reliability for applications requiring efficient data transmission across parallel and serial interfaces.
