Altera has enhanced its Arria II GX FPGA variant with 6,375 Gbps transceivers and up to 1,25 Gbps LVDS support, while broadening the reach of the family with the addition of the new Arria II GZ FPGA variant. As a result, Altera claims the 40 nm Arria II family provides the lowest power 6 Gbps transceiver solutions shipping today, featuring up to 50% lower static power than competitive devices.
Many applications commonly implemented in FPGAs are moving to faster transceiver speeds, driven by the need to support mainstream protocol standards such as PCI Express (PCIe) Gen2, SATA III, CPRI-6G, Interlaken and RXAUI. In addition, system power consumption is becoming an increasingly challenging design constraint. The new Arria II GX and GZ devices are designed to enable designers to solve both challenges.
Arria II GX FPGAs feature up to sixteen 6,375 Gbps transceivers and faster I/Os than the previous generation of Arria II FPGAs, making them suitable for a broad array of applications in markets such as wireless, wireline, test, medical and storage.
The new Arria II GZ FPGAs feature up to twenty-four 6,375 Gbps transceivers, up to 400 MHz DDR3 interfaces and up to 726 I/Os. Furthermore, their processing capacity has been increased to include a PCIe Gen2 hard intellectual property (IP) block, 30% more multipliers and 25% more user logic than the original Arria II GX family.
The Arria II GX and GZ families feature up to 350 K logic elements (LEs) and up to 16,4 Mb of embedded memory. Protocol reference designs, a new Arria II GX development kit, 6G edition and easily-accessible online design resource centres are also available.
