Springer - High-speed Serial Buses in Embedded Systems

Master the complexities of high-speed serial buses with this technical guide from Springer. This book focuses on the most common serial buses used in embedded systems, with a specific emphasis on FPGA applications. You will gain a deep understanding of protocols used for chip-to-chip and board-to-board communication, including SerDes, JESD204, SRIO, PCIE, Aurora, and SATA. For inter-chassis communication, the text covers CPCIE, VPX, FC, and Infiniband protocols. Beyond theoretical knowledge, the book provides a practical roadmap for FPGA design. It guides you through the entire implementation process, covering the physical layer, link synchronization, and frame formats. Each protocol is analyzed through its history, version updates, and a balanced assessment of its advantages and limitations, making it an essential resource for engineers working with modern embedded architectures.
