Xilinx Virtex-7 HT Devices Enable 100-400Gbps Applications

Xilinx, Inc., (Nasdaq: XLNX)  announced on Nov. 17, 2010 itsVirtex(R)-7 HT FPGAs with  emonstrated 28Gbps serial transceiver performance required for next generation 100-400Gbps applications. The 28nm FPGAs enable communication equipment vendors to develop the integrated, high-bandwidth-efficient systems necessary to keep pace with the exploding global demand for more bandwidth in the wired infrastructure and datacenters. The new devices are equipped with the industry's highest-speed and lowest jitter serial transceivers available in an FPGA to support stringent optical and backplane protocols.
