Achieving Low BER Across 10+ Gbps Serial Links

As serial data rates increase beyond 10 Gbps to address high-bandwidth applications (e.g., 40G/100G systems), board design challenges grow as well. Ensuring statistical reliability of a serializer/deserializer (SerDes) channel requires careful board design, as well as advanced silicon capabilities to handle losses due to PCB material properties and reflections due to discontinuities in the channel. In this webcast, we will discuss some of the solutions available to address these challenges and ensure high reliability for serial links at data rates … Read More → "Achieving Low BER Across 10+ Gbps Serial Links"

Designing with Multiple Industrial Ethernet Standards on a Single Hardware Platform

When developing and maintaining industrial communications hardware, supporting new or additional industrial Ethernet protocols often requires new hardware and corresponding software stacks. Rather than re-spinning your boards and migrating software code, you can save time and resources by choosing FPGAs.

Lowering System Costs with Highly Integrated FPGAs & Power Solutions (CHALK TALK)

chalktalk_ondemand_logo.gif

The MicroTCA backplane can deliver power to run the most demanding applications, up to 80W. The challenge resides in the fact that each watt of power must be dissipated by the small AdvancedMC card through the chassis’ cooling system. Thanks to the Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA which uses 50% less power than previous generations, … Read More → "Lowering System Costs with Highly Integrated FPGAs & Power Solutions (CHALK TALK)"
