Functional Description
Simulations using GTX transceivers have specific prerequisites that the simulation
environment and the test bench must fulfill.
The Synthesis and Simulation Design Guide explains how to set up the simulation
environment for supported simulators depending on the used Hardware Description
Language (HDL). This design guide can be downloaded from the Xilinx website.
The prerequisites for simulating a design with GTX transceivers are:
• Simulator with support for SecureIP models, which are encrypted versions of the
Verilog HDL used for implementation of the modeled block.
SecureIP is a new IP encryption methodology. To support SecureIP models, a Verilog
LRM - IEEE Std 1364-2005 encryption compliant simulator is required.
• Mixed-language simulator for VHDL simulation.
