FPGA med integreret 11,3 Gbit/s transceiver

Altera har startet vollumenproduktionen af Stratix IV FPGA med integreret 11,3 Gbit transceiver (in english).

Altera has started shipping in production its Stratix IV GT EP4S100G2 FPGA, the industry's first FPGA featuring integrated 11.3 Gbps transceivers.

Stratix IV GT FPGAs are according to Altera the only single-chip devices available today that meet the high-speed bandwidth requirements for next-generation framer, MAC, bridging and switching applications for 100-Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 100-Gigabit Optical Transport Networks (OTN). Altera's proven high-density, high-performance 100G solutions enable communications systems designers developing 100G systems to accelerate their time to market and reduce risk compared to ASICs, ASSPs and other currently available FPGA technologies.


Altera's 100G solutions include production silicon, 100G intellectual property (IP), 100G reference designs and development boards supporting 100G applications. To date, a wide range of customers have adopted Stratix IV GT FPGAs for use in 100G systems and platforms, including 100G test equipment, 100G Ethernet transport, 10 x 10 GbE aggregation and OTN applications. Additionally, five of the top seven DWDM suppliers selected Stratix IV GT FPGAs for their 100G development.

Stratix IV GT FPGAs are designed to meet the emerging IEEE 802.3 standard for 100G systems used in advanced wireline and military communications systems and high-end test equipment. Stratix IV GT FPGAs are available today to meet customer production demands and performance requirements as these 100G standards become finalized.

The 36 transceiver channels featured in the EP4S100G2 operate from 2.488 Gbps to 11.3 Gbps, and provide the FPGA industry's lowest jitter performance to meet 10G, 40G and 100G protocol specifications. The 11.3-Gbps integrated transceivers eliminate the need for an external PHY, allowing for a direct interface between the Stratix IV GT FPGA and 10G, 40G or 100G optical modules.
