100G Development Kit, Stratix IV GT Edition

from Altera

Altera's 100G Development Kit, Stratix® IV GT Edition enables a thorough evaluation of 100G designs by allowing you to:

  • Support 10G/40G and 100G line interfaces through optical modules
  • Support applications requiring external memory interfaces, through 4x18 QDR II and 4x32 DDR3 memory banks
  • Use system side interfaces via two pairs of FCI AirMax connectors
  • Complete line side (optical modules) to system side (AirMax connector) datapath analysis
  • Evaluate transceiver performance up to 11.3 Gbps
  • Verify physical medium attachment (PMA) compliance to 10G/40G/100G Ethernet, Interlaken, CEI-6G/11G, PCI Express® (Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3), Serial RapidIO®, and other major standards
  • Validate interoperability between optical modules such as SFP, SFP+, QSFP, and CFP
