Abstract

The need for simulation models that are reliable and able to predict the conceptual as well as the implementation errors early in the design process is a must in the current tight time to market constrains. In this paper, a model for a 7.25 Gb/s fiber channel transmitter is presented. The model is implemented using the IEEE 1076.1 standard VHDL-AMS. The modelled system is composed of two sections; an analog section, comprising the laser diode and the laser driver, and a digital section, consisting of an 8B/10B encoder and a 10:1 multiplexer.
