Altera has started shipping his FPGA featuring 28-Gbps transceivers. Stratix V GT devices support backplane, optical module and chip-to-chip applications through four 28-Gbps transceivers, 32 full-duplex, 12.5-Gbps transceivers, and up to 4x72-bit DIMM DDR3 memory interfaces supporting 2133 Mbps. The 28-Gbps transceivers featured in Stratix V GT FPGAs meet the CEI-28G specification while consuming 200 mW per channel, reducing a system's power-per-bandwidth profile.

Stratix V GT FPGAs are optimized specifically for use in the latest generation of 40G/100G applications and beyond used in communications systems, high-end test equipment and military communications systems. The devices include up to 622K logic elements (LEs), 512 18x18 multipliers, hardened PCI Express (PCIe), 10-Gbps Ethernet (10GbE) and Interlaken intellectual property blocks, and support the latest high-speed serial protocols.

Engineering samples are available today.
