Abstract: The need for SuperSpeed data communication leads to the use of USB 3.0. USB 3.0 utilizes dual bus architecture which provides both SuperSpeed and non Super Speed connectivity. This can be possible by mixing the advantage of parallel and serial data transfer. This paper provides a novel architecture for communication between USB 3.0 device and USB 3.0 host controller at a data rate of maximum up to 5.0 Gbps using Altera’s Stratix IV FPGA. To maintain synchronization between GPIF II and PCIe hard IP, FIFO is used. PLL is used to provide clock signal at different frequencies.
Keywords: FIFO, FPGA, GPIF, Hard IP, PLL, USB 3.0.

Scope of the Article: Optical and High-Speed Access Networks
