“Our close collaboration with industry-leading partners enables us to deliver the most comprehensive JESD204B offering in the FPGA industry,” said Alex Grbic, director of software and IP product marketing at Altera.

“Providing validated device interoperability reports, proven IP, and multiple reference designs and development kits allow customers to quickly evaluate and integrate a JESD204B-based serial interface into their designs.”

The interface standard is used across many applications, including radar, wireless radioheads, medical imaging equipment, software defined radios and industrial applications. Altera’s JESD204B solutions include intellectual property (IP) cores, reference designs, development boards and interoperability reports for the industry’s latest data converters.

This comprehensive collection of JESD204B resources is available through an online resource center that enables users to jumpstart the development of JESD204B-based serial interfaces, while giving designers the flexibility to select the FPGAs and data converters that best meet their systems’ power and performance requirements.

JESD204B is a high-speed serial interface standard that greatly simplifies circuit board design when interoperating FPGAs with analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs).

Altera has validated device interoperability with leading data converter suppliers, including Analog Devices and Texas Instruments (TI), and is actively working to expand its offering by validating interoperability with many other data converter companies.
