Strike Up The Bandwidth Beyond 28 Gbps
Here is a link to an EDN article you need to read. Scott McMorrow, R&D Consultant for Teraspeed® Consulting (a division of Samtec), discusses the migration of high-speed data transfer rates to 28 Gbps and beyond. Here's a quick synopsis. We Can Barely Get To 56 Gbps With Today's Materials It’s hard to give an overview to such an insightful article, but I’ll try to give a quick recap: First, although many in the industry are successfully achieving information transfer rates … [Read more...]
More On 25+ Gbps Backplane Design
I recently posted a blog about videos of Teraspeed®’s Scott McMorrow explaining how he determined the materials to choose in order to achieve the best performance for a backplane system with a 25 Gbps+ operation. Xilinx’s Xcell Daily Blog also reported on these videos, and they tell us more about the setup, including eval boards used (Xilinx VCU109) and the FPGA selected (Virtex UltraScale VU095), among other details. Check out the Xilinx blog here. I encourage you to check out Xcell … [Read more...]
