4.3.2. Scrambler/Descrambler

Both the scrambler and descrambler are designed in a 32-bit parallel implementation and the scrambling/descrambling order starts from first octet with MSB first.

The JESD204B TX and RX IP core support scrambling by implementing a 32-bit parallel scrambler in each lane. The scrambler and descrambler are located in the JESD204B IP MAC interfacing to the Avalon® streaming interface. You can enable or disable scrambling and this option applies to all lanes. Mixed mode operation, where scrambling is enabled for some lanes, is not permitted.

The scrambling polynomial:

1 + x14 + x15

The descrambler can self-synchronize in eight octets. In a typical application where the reset value of the scrambler seed is different from the converter device to FPGA logic device, the correct user data is recovered in the receiver in two link clocks (due to the 32-bit architecture). The PRBS pattern checker on the transport layer should always disable checking of the first eight octets from the JESD204B RX IP core.
