Abstract: This paper proposes an implementation of multi-Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) communication using pulse-coupled phase oscillators. At first, we construct a digital phase oscillator circuit with adjustable in-phase parameters. While performing the synchronization task, the oscillators are connected into the first input and first output (FIFO) interface. The communication in-between of FPGAs will occur by enabling the following inputs and outputs on the FIFO through the Gigabit Transceiver (GTX) clock domain. Pulse-coupled phase oscillators of Winfree's model are utilized as a spike generator and we expect the ideal of model circuit will synchronize. We employ two FPGA boards of Virtex6 ML605 and implement four oscillators on a hardware level. Experimental results show that first spike synchronizing over two FPGAs takes 12.47 μsec with data bit speed stream 3.2Gbps.
