Stratix IV GT Edition User Guide
1. About This Kit
The Transceiver Signal Integrity Development Kit, Stratix
®
IV GT Edition provides
everything you need for the signal integrity evaluation and interoperability of
Stratix IV GT transceivers on the Altera
®
Stratix IV GT EP4S100G2 device. The kit
includes a full-featured FPGA development board, hardware and software evaluation
tools, documentation, and accessories needed to begin development.
With this signal integrity development kit, you can do the following:
■ Evaluate transceiver performance at data rates up to 11.3 Gbps.
■ Generate and check pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) patterns through an
easy-to-use demonstration application.
■ Understand the effects of changing differential output voltage (V
OD
), preemphasis,
and equalization settings.
■ Perform jitter analysis.
■ Verify physical medium attachment (PMA) compliance to 10 gigabit Ethernet,
Interlaken, 10G GPON/EPON, IEEE 802.3ba 40G, and other major standards.
Kit Features
This section briefly describes the following Stratix IV GT transceiver signal integrity
development kit features:
■ Stratix IV GT EP4S100G2 Signal Integrity Transceiver Development Board—a
development platform that allows you to develop and prototype hardware
designs running on the Stratix IV GT FPGA (ordering code: DK-SI-4S100G2N).
