Rad-Hard 2.5 GBPS SpaceFibre Interface Device
Abstract
Seven partner institutions and companies have been cooperating within the scope of the FP7 Collaborative Project VHiSSI to develop a very high speed serial interface device. The device will include two SpaceFibre serial links capable of data rates up to 2.5 Gbps (3.125 Gbps after 8b/10b encoding). Complete SpaceFibre networking stack is implemented in the device. It also provides a variety of other interfaces including SpaceWire, parallel buses, LVTTL and LVDS signaling. Operating modes include SpaceFibre and SpaceWire bridges and routers, interfaces to instruments, to processors and to mass memory. The device is implemented on IHP 130nm CMOS technology, using RadSafe™ rad-hard-by-design libraries and custom analog circuits. A test chip has recently been fabricated and tested to validate the technology and circuits for the SERDES device.
