Common Questions
Evaluate GZ when the required interface exceeds GT's supported rate. Compare the entire device and IP configuration, not only transceiver speed.
Sum payload traffic and account for burst overlap, framing overhead and downstream stalls. Provision buffering and fabric throughput accordingly.
Transceiver capability specifies physical signaling capacity. Ethernet operation additionally requires supported protocol coding, MAC functions and compatible clocks.
Check power and clock stability, channel margins and equalization across operating conditions. Compare errors with the documented device limits.
Use one early when bringing up a supported serial protocol, then extend it incrementally to isolate custom-logic failures.
Ready to Order?
Ordering starts with a part number. Select a product in the table above to view its ordering part numbers (OPNs) — which encode density, speed grade, package, and options — then use that OPN to check availability and purchase through an authorized distributor. Refer to Parts Decoder to decode a OPN.
