3 years agoArria10 FPGA transciever FEC specifications
Hello,
I am looking for specifications of the FEC used in the Arria10 FPGA transciever, more specifically its theoretical performance (maximum BER at input for error-free output, burst error size that would defeat error correction, etc.). All the information I could find is here: Intel® Arria® 10 Transceiver PHY User Guide, 2.6.2. It says the FEC 64b/66b but that is it. Where can I find more information on this?
Thank you,

Hi Romain
A10 transceiver Native PHY with FEC provides an error detection and correction mechanism that allows noisy channels to achieve the Ethernet-mandated Bit Error Rate (BER) of 10e12.
Refer section 2.9. Other Protocols
