Stratix IV GT 100G Development Kit
Altera Corporation
The Altera Stratix IV GT 100G Development Kit
delivers a platform that can be used to implement 100
Gigabit serial data communications systems. Stratix
IV GT FPGAs are optimized specifically for the latest
generation of 40G and 100G applications used in
communications systems, high-end test equipment
and military communications systems. The 11.3-Gbps
integrated transceivers featured in the Stratix IV GT
FPGA provide customers a true single-FPGA 100G
solution, enabling 100G optical modules to interface
directly with the FPGA. This board will accommodate
two SFP+ optical modules (one with EDC and one
without (not included in the kit)), a 4 lane QSFP
optical module (not included in
the kit), a CFP interface, and a 20 lane Interlaken
interface.
