TLK1501: Communication with FPGA through SFP

Part Number: TLK1501

I'm trying to communicate with the FPGA on the other board. That doesn't work correctly. Look like I'm not in the sync state.

I generated a Xilinx IP core with the transceiver wizard  (8b/10b, 1.25Gbps, no CB, no CC) for my FPGA (Kintex7) .

Does the Xilinx transceiver can communicate directly with the TLK or I need to instantiate a other core ?

  • Hello,

    Unfortunately, I am not sure what will be needed on the FPGA side to make this work, other than making sure it is compatible with TLK1501 specification per the datasheet. One general advice is to send IDLE for a longer period to give both sides a better chance to synchronize to each other.
