Key Features

This reference design provides the following key features:

  • A single-link transmission or reception of the SDI II video data at data rates up to 3 Gbps. The auto-detect and auto-switch features of the SDI II Intel® FPGA IP core allow you to switch easily between the following triple-rate SDI II standards:
    • SD-SDI II at 270 Mbps
    • HD-SDI II at 1.485/1.4835 Gbps
    • 3G-SDI II at 2.97/2.967 Gbps
  • A simplex TX channel and a simplex RX channel. Each channel has its own design components. For more information, refer to the Design Components section.
    • TX channel design components:
      • Transceiver Native PHY IP core in TX simplex mode
      • SDI II transmitter
      • TX channel transceiver PHY reset controller
      • TX PLL with 297-MHz reference clock
    • RX channel design components:
      • Transceiver Native PHY IP core in RX simplex mode
      • SDI II receiver
      • RX channel transceiver PHY reset controller
      • RX reconfiguration management
  • Tune the TX reference clock using the F-sync, V-sync, and H-sync input reference timing signals sourced from the SDI II Intel® FPGA IP receiver. A 27-MHz clock is generated from the FVH video sync and is feed into the ultra-low jitter PLL (LMK 03328). The LMK 03328 generates a 297/296.70-MHz output for the TX PLL reference clock at the FPGA.
