A Transceivers/High-Speed I/O Protocol designer is a hardware engineer designing with multi-gigabit transceivers. This person could also be designing the PCB for the FPGA and needs to solve signal integrity issues.
Before taking this curriculum, Altera recommends reviewing the Design and Support Resources Guide as a starting place to get an overview of all of the collateral, tools, training, resources, and support available to help you throughout your design cycle. If you are new to programmable logic, this guide will help you quickly get started with Altera.
