Enhancing High-Speed Data Transfer in Fpga-Based Systems: An Innovative Usb 3.0 Communication Interface Design

Abstract

This study introduces an innovative design for a USB 3.0 communication interface, specifically tailored for Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Given the escalating requirements for rapid data transmission in contemporary computer applications, USB 3.0 provides substantial enhancements over its antecedents. Nonetheless, extant USB communication interfaces inadequately cater to FPGA development, leading to diminished productivity for developers. To reconcile this discrepancy, this paper advocate for an Intellectual Property (IP) core interface that capitalizes on the concurrent data transmission proficiency of FPGAs, in conjunction with the superior speed transfer of USB 3.0. This design employs the CYUSB3014 chip, amalgamating the Physical Layer (PHY), Serial Interface Engine (SIE), and driver software into a singular entity. Herein, the FPGA serves as the nexus of control, streamlining data interchange and interface coordination among diverse modules within the system. The design put forth not only enables expeditious data communication in FPGA-centric systems, thereby surmounting the constraints of conventional USB interfaces, but also promotes accelerated data conveyance and augmented development efficiency. Consequently, this design harbors extensive applicability across spheres of digital system design and communications.
