Keywords:xilinx? virtex-ii pro x? fpga? rocketio x? multi-gigabit transceiver?
The company claims that its FPGAs are the first programmable ICs that can directly drive optical transceiver OC-48 SONET compliant systems and simplify SONET implementation for OC-192 data rates and above. It is also the functionally compatible extension of the Virtex-II Pro family.
The integrated 10Gbps RocketIO X transceiver includes options of 8B/10B or 64B/66B coding, 20-bit or 16-bit data path, and 20x or 16x clocking. It also offers channel bonding, and several performance tuning features, including pre-emphasis, receiver equalization, differential voltage swing, and on-chip termination. The RocketIO X transceivers are adaptive to system requirements and can be dynamically programmed via an internal configuration port.
