PRODUCT BRIEF
AHA G709D-10 FEC Core
10 GB/S ITU G.709
REED-SOLOMON DECODER
The G709D-10 core implements the 16 block
interleaved RS(255,239) code specified by in
Annex A of the ITU G.709 standard.
The G709D-10 core is specifically designed to
efficiently perform the Reed-Solomon decoding
function specified by the standard. The core
requires no configuration, no initialization, and no
re-synchronization procedure or includes any
unnecessary features that would add area, power or
complexity to your design.
A G709E Reed-Solomon encoder core is also
available from AHA.
FEATURES
• ITU G.709 compatible Reed-Solomon core
• Input and output data streams are block-
interleaved for seamless connection in G.709
system
• 10 Gbits/sec operation in 0.18µ CMOS process
• 140 Kgates in 0.18µ using a typical standard cell
library
• Less than 100 mA of dynamic current in UMC's
0.18µ CMOS process
• One-edge, one-clock fully synchronous design
without multi-cycle paths
• Separate FIFO for increased flexibility and
simplified IC floor planning
• Complete error reporting for Bit Error Rate
calculation and feedback into threshold detection
circuits

INPUT SIGNALS
clk
- 166 MHz core clock. All inputs are registered
on the rising edge.
reset
- Synchronous reset.
received_data[63:0]
- Received data bus. Data bus
is valid every clock and is registered on the
rising edge of
clk.
The data frame is restarted
whenever
start
is active. The core accepts 8-
bytes per transfers
start
- Signal is active to when the first 8 bytes of
the G.709 frame in on the
received_data
bus.
Must be inactive on all other data transfers in
the frame. Maybe asserted at anytime of the
data frame needs to be reset to the first transfer.
fifo_data[63:0]
- FIFO data. Delay version of the
received_data
data stream. The bus is
registered on the rising edge of
clk.
DELIVERABLES
• G.709D-10 FEC core (VHDL)
• Timing constraints (DesignCompiler and Ambit
format)
• Test bench and verification vectors (VHDL)
• Single use license to AHA’s Reed-Solomon

OUTPUT SIGNALS
decode_complete
- Decoding complete. Active
when the first 8-byte transfer of the G.709
frame is on the
decode_data
data bus and
inactive on all subsequent transfers.
decoded_data[63:0]
- Decoded data. The first 8-
bytes of the corrected G.709 frame are valid
when
decode_complete
is active and the
remainder of the frame is available over the
subsequent 509 clocks. The data is driven from
the rising edge of
clk.
status_valid
- Status valid signal. Active for a
single
clk
following the completion of the
frame to indicate when the
uncorrectable,
correct-to-zero,
and
correct_to_one
signals
are valid.
uncorrectable[15:0]
- Uncorrectable block flags.
Each bit of the signal corresponds to one of the
16 Reed-Solomon blocks in the G.709 frame.
Valid when
status_valid
is active.
correct_to_zero[10:0]
- Number of bits corrected
from ‘1’ to ‘0’ in the just completed G.709
frame. Signal is valid when
status_valid
is
active.
correct_to_one[10:0]
- Number of bits corrected
from ‘0’ to ‘1’ in the just completed G.709
frame. Signal is valid when
status_valid
is
active.
