SAN JOSE, Calif., March 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc.
(NASDAQ: XLNX) today announced the delivery of the industry's most
flexible and comprehensive Ethernet portfolio for data center
interconnect, service provider, and enterprise applications.
Xilinx's comprehensive IP portfolio includes 25GBASE-CR/KR,
50GBASE-CR2/KR2, 100GBASE-CR4/KR4 IP and the newly introduced
integrated 100G Ethernet MAC and RS-FEC IP. As the
portfolio's newest addition, Xilinx's integrated 100G Ethernet MAC
with integrated RS-FEC built into 16nm UltraScale+™ devices offers
80% power reduction and significant logic savings verses an FPGA
soft IP implementation.
Increased demand from mobile traffic and cloud computing is
forcing data center optical links to 100G Ethernet and in turn
impacting existing 10G Ethernet port downlinks. Upgrading 10G
Ethernet ports to 25G Ethernet enables an increase in performance
by 2.5x. The Xilinx® integrated 100G Ethernet solution in the
UltraScale architecture will enable companies to develop 100G
Ethernet switches and core routers to handle the increasing
bandwidth demands of mobile devices and cloud computing
applications. In addition, the 25G and 50G RS-FEC complete the
migration for design of the downport links. RS-FEC enables
the use of less expensive multi-mode fiber or copper interconnects
by correcting errors inherent to those systems, thereby reducing
overall costs. Having integrated 100G Ethernet MAC, PCS and RS-FEC
logic saves significant FPGA resources, enables maximum platform
reusabity, reduces power, and allows migration to future proof
designs.
Xilinx will be demonstrating its 16nm UltraScale+ FPGA with the
integrated 100G Ethernet MAC and RS-FEC at OFC 2016, March 22 – 24 2016, Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, CA. Visit Xilinx in booth #3457. You
can also see a video demonstration of the new 100G Ethernet
solution online today at
