8B/10B Encoding and Decoding for High Speed Applications

The 8B/10B Encoder and Decoder circuit designs presented here attempt to deliver the best possible speed and exploit the characteristics of the standard cell library for the IBM CMOS-7S or similar technology (Ref. 4) to the fullest. An implementation with both a single CoDec circuit and for parallel circuits is shown.
