Altera communications intellectual property (IP) megafunctions provide complex, standards-based cores that can be combined with user-designed logic to develop unique solutions in a single device. The Altera communications portfolio for telecom and datacom consists of core functions for Ethernet, cell/packet, SONET/SDH, and T/E carrier networking infrastructures, as well as high-speed interfaces for UTOPIA, POS-PHY, system packet interface, and backplane use. These megafunctions are ideal for high-performance DSLAMs, access concentrators, edge routers, multiplexers, and multiservice switches, and their integration and flexibility benefits enable a comprehensive system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) solution.
