Abstract

We present a novel version of the FPGA-based Universal Link for LVDS (low-voltage differential signaling) communications that reduces the power consumption by sending the information only when a new data is input. In the a regular LVDS protocol, 4 wires are required for a full duplex communication. The aim of the Universal Link is to reduce the amount of wires in the network by sending data from N signal through a single connection. These new approach reduces the number of bits transmitted to 84% of the original system, when N = 2, and up to 23% for N > 130. Also, the sampling frequency is considerable reduced.
