International Desk, Dec 18, 2006
Altera Corporation recently announced that it has begun shipping its production-qualified Stratix II GX FPGAs. The high-density Stratix II GX family provides up to 20 low-power transceivers operating between 600 Mbps and 6.375 Gbps with a 127 Gbps of aggregate serial link connectivity.
Customers are now using Stratix II GX FPGAs to design and manufacture multi-gigabit-interconnected systems that meet or exceed their performance and signal integrity specifications.
Additionally, with the release of the EP2SGX30 and EP2SGX60 devices, Altera has completed the rollout of all Stratix II GX family members.
"The 90-nm Stratix II GX devices provide customers with industry-leading technology advantages, including the lowest-power transceiver of its type. Additionally, Stratix II GX FPGAs demonstrate such excellent signal integrity performance that the devices pass stringent SONET OC48 and STM16 optical jitter tests with margin, while the core of the FPGA and I/O toggle at a high rate," said Louie Leung, Altera Asia Pacific marketing director. "We are now shipping production-qualified transceiver-based FPGAs with a full set of characterization data that addresses the most popular protocols and link speeds in the market."
Stratix II GX devices have been integrated into a wide variety of applications. Many of these customer systems are now transitioning to production, including high-speed backplane and cabling interfaces, chip-to-chip interconnects, and protocol-bridging applications, including, but not limited to, such protocols as PCI Express, CEI-6G, serial digital interface (SDI), Gigabit Ethernet, Serial RapidIO? (SRIO), XAUI, SerialLite II, Fibre Channel and SONET/SDH.
The Stratix II GX FPGA system solutions designers are using include Altera Quartus II development software; best-in-class signal integrity, power distribution and power estimation tools; intellectual property (IP) cores; system models from Altera, Cadence Design Systems, Inc., and Mentor Graphics; reference designs; and supporting collateral.
