Cover Story: The 8b/10b IBM encoding scheme is used in many communication technologies, including USB, Gigabit Ethernet, and Serial ATA. We propose two primitive-based structural designs of an 8b/10b encoder and two of an 8b/10b decoder, all targeted at modern AMD FPGA architectures. We aim to reduce the resource usage. We compare our designs with implementations resulting from behavioral models and state-of-the-art solutions from the literature. The implementation results show that our solutions provide the lowest resource utilization with comparable maximum-operating frequency and power consumption. The proposed structural designs are suitable for resource-constrained data communication protocol implementations that employ the IBM 8b/10b encoding scheme. View this paper
