Overview
The rapid adoption of high-speed serial interconnect in recent years has posed new challenges to engineers. The data rates of serial protocol and proprietary protocol standards are doubling and quadrupling to keep up with the ever increasing bandwidth requirements of today’s applications. At the same time, new serial protocol standards are ratified to address new market requirements.
Designers are faced with the challenge of designing systems that support the newer and faster serial protocols while continuing to support slower legacy versions. Until now, design engineers had to design with multiple ASSPs and boards to support different data rates and protocols.
Dynamic reconfiguration delivers an elegant solution to this challenge. With dynamic reconfiguration, Stratix II GX FPGAs with embedded transceivers are the Swiss Army Knife of high-speed serial protocols.
In this webcast, you will learn:
- About high-speed connectivity trends
- How to support multiple rates and protocols on FPGAs with embedded transceivers
- How dynamic reconfiguration can increase productivity for you and your customers
Who Should View
