Altera Ships Industry's Highest Density Transceiver FPGAs
San Jose, Calif., March 172009 -- Altera Corporation (NASDAQ: ALTR) today announced silicon availability of the industry’s highest density transceiver FPGA. As the second member of the Altera® Stratix® IV GX FPGA family to ship, the EP4SGX530 is 60 percent larger than the largest transceiver FPGA on the market. The device offers 530K logic elements (LEs), up to 48 transceivers operating at up to 8.5 Gbps, 20.3 Mbits of RAM and 1,040 embedded multipliers. Stratix IV GX devices target numerous applications in the communications, broadcast, test, medical and military markets.
“Agilent is committed to providing test equipment that accelerates the turn-on and debug phase of emerging high-speed interconnects,” said Jun Chie, marketing manager for Agilent’s logic and protocol test tools. “The high performance of the Altera Stratix IV FPGA and its availability today is playing an important role in Agilent’s ability to continue meeting its commitment to industry leaders.”
Stratix IV GX FPGAs incorporate up to four hard intellectual property (IP) cores for PCI Express Gen1 and Gen2 (x1, x4 and x8), and also support a wide range of protocols including Serial RapidIO®, 40G/100G Ethernet, XAUI, CPRI (including 6G CPRI), CEI-6G, GPON, SFI-5.1 and Interlaken.
