Intel FPGA'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
