Hi Yafei Bi, As per my understanding there are 2 methods primarily 1. you implement the algorithm as it is for encoding and decoding. 2. you implement an LUT based hardware. out of this I think algorithm will have less hardware (I had an experience of LUT method) further more if you want this as a synchronous system then also it will add up in to your hardware considering any pipeline architecture you want. may be some more responses will tell you bit more Thanks & Regards, Kedar -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Yafei Bi Sent: Friday, May 12, 2006 12:06 AM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] 8B10B encode/decode Hi, SI experts, Can someone explains to me how 8B10B encoding/decoding can be implemented with minimum hardware? I am aware of the concept but don't know much about the details to figure out how much hardware(in this case, silicon area) is needed to implemented the functions. Arew there any other ways to encode the data stream to ensure DC balance, and requires very few gates? any suggestion/web links are appreciated.
