FPGAs boast 28 Gbps transceivers

9 November 2011 Programmable Logic

Altera announced it has started shipping what it claims are the world’s first FPGAs featuring 28 Gbps transceivers.

Stratix V GT devices are tailored to enable designers of leading-edge communications systems to bring to market solutions that support the ever-growing demand for network bandwidth.

The FPGAs support the rapid growth in network traffic being driven by Internet and Internet Protocol (IP)-based services and applications. They support backplane, optical module and chip-to-chip applications through four 28 Gbps transceivers, 32 full-duplex, 12,5 Gbps transceivers and up to 4x72-bit DIMM DDR3 memory interfaces supporting 2133 Mbps. The 28 Gbps transceivers meet the CEI-28G specification while consuming only 200 mW per channel. A video showing the transceiver performance of Stratix V GT FPGAs titled ‘Sneak peek: industry’s first 28 Gbps FPGA’ is available for viewing on Altera’s website.

Stratix V GT FPGAs are optimised specifically for use in the latest generation of 40G/100G applications and beyond used in communications systems, high-end test equipment and military communications systems. The devices include up to 622 K logic elements (LEs), 512 18x18 multipliers, hardened PCI Express, 10 Gbps Ethernet and Interlaken intellectual property blocks, and support the latest high-speed serial protocols.
