Kit Overview

This SIS Kit includes models and interconnect data for a sample GTP transceiver interface.
The transmitter and receiver models are provided as IBIS-AMI models. Each model
contains an analog model (used for network characterization) and a corresponding
algorithmic model (used for statistical and time-domain analysis). The receiver model
includes the Virtex-5 FPGA GTP peaking filter. S-parameter data is included for the Xilinx
package (transmit and receive signals), along with sample channel data for 22-inch,
36-inch, and 56-inch links. The kit is set up so designers can quickly import S-parameter
data for their own channels and run link performance simulations.
