Compact UltraScale: Serial Transceivers
This course introduces the features and capabilities of the serial transceiver blocks in the UltraScale™ architectures. Learn how to implement UltraScale™/UltraScale+™ transceiver solutions in custom applications to improve time to market.
This workshop enables designers to effectively use all available features of the serial transceivers, define the interfaces and attributes necessary for using the features, and instantiate the serial transceiver primitives available with the transceiver wizards which are an integral part of the IP catalog. This allows to implement project-specific or standardized serial interfaces. The IBERT design is used to show an effective verification of the serial transmission link. Signal-integrity topics, including a simulation example and pointers on board design, provide practical tips for implementation.
During the training, the target technology will be the Kintex™ UltraScale™ FPGA KCU105 evaluation board.
Due to accompanying exercises, the course offers in-depth and practice-oriented training.
Course language: German (English possible on request)

FAQ
01. In which countries is PLC2 an AMD ATP?
PLC2 is an ATP in Cyprus, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, and Turkey.
02. What does AMD ATP stand for?
AMD Authorized Training Providers (ATPs) are expert instructors specializing in all aspects of FPGA and embedded design from software to systems and beyond. Courses offered leverage training materials specifically developed by AMD engineers and enhanced further via the specialized knowledge and expertise of AMD ATP instructors.
03. Can you help me with reserving the room?
If you need a room for a face-to-face course, please contact us. We will support you in choosing suitable accommodation.
04. What times in the day do courses start and end?
Our face-to-face and online courses start daily at 9 a.m. (CET/CEST) and end at 5 p.m., with two coffee breaks and an extended lunch break. The total course time per day is 6 hours.
05. Are course materials provided?
All participants of paid courses will receive English training materials in electronic or paper form.
06. Will I receive a course certificate?
Each participant of a paid PLC2 course will receive a signed certificate of attendance at the end of the course.
07. Can I pay with Training Credits (TCs)?
Of course, you can also pay for your training using your available TCs (Training Credits). We will then invoice AMD directly. If you do not have sufficient credit for the booked training, the difference can be paid for with an additional payment. The additional charge will be invoiced directly to you.
08. What are the options for payment?

10. What are the options for cancelling?
You can cancel free of charge up to 14 days before the course starts. If you have to cancel at short notice due to illness or other reasons, you have the option of adding a substitute participant or of making up the course at a later date (within 6 months).
11. When will I receive a firm commitment as to whether the course will take place?
You will receive binding confirmation 7 days before the course begins as to whether it will go ahead.
12. How many participants are required for a course to be given/what is the minimum number of participants?
We generally offer courses for 5 or more people. That means that if you would like to book a course at your premises, you need 5 people to register or need to pay the amount for 5 participants, even if fewer people attend.
13. Can I book a course that is given in English?
If you need a course that is officially advertised as given in German to be given in English, please contact us. We will try to make that possible for you.
14. What language is the course in?
Our webinars and online courses are conducted in English. All our F2F training courses are generally conducted in German. Feel free to contact us if you need face-to-face training in English or online training in German.
