Design and Implementation of High-Speed Serial Transmission for ADC Based on JESD204B

Currently, as the resolution of sensors such as radar continues to improve, the signal bandwidth is rapidly increasing. There is a growing demand for higher sampling rates and data transmission rates in Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs). However, the parallel transmission commonly used in ADCs faces issues such as high crosstalk and difficulties in transmission synchronization. In response to this problem, this paper proposes a method for the design and implementation of a high-speed serial data transmission interface based on JESD204B. Specifically, it utilizes Xilinx's ZYNQ-7 series FPGA and ADC as the core components and presents clock synchronization design, ADC circuit design, and FPGA 204B IP design methods. Experimental testing was conducted using selected link parameters (LMFS=4222) as an example. The experimental results demonstrate that correct JESD204B interface data transmission for four channels was achieved at a data rate of 10 Gbps, thus validating the feasibility of the proposed high-speed transmission link design based on JESD204B in this paper.
