Designing an S-LINK to PCI interface using an IP core

The S-LINK is a standard that defines the source and destination interfaces of a point-to-point data link. This standard is chosen for data transmission between front-end electronics and readout systems of some ongoing and future experiments at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland. This work presents the S32PCI64 interface that can move data from a 32-bit S-LINK Destination Card to any 32-bit or 64-bit PCI bus running at 33 MHz.
