Supported Xilinx FPGA/CPLDs: Virtex-6 LXT

Xilinx® Virtex®-6 FPGA ML623 and Spartan®-6 SP623 Transceiver Characterization Kits simplify the evaluation of Xilinx GTX and GTP low-power, highspeed serial transceivers with the latest generation devices and Xilinx Targeted Design Platforms.

The kits provide hardware and software developers with everything needed to create and fully characterize designs with Virtex-6 FPGA GTX and Spartan-3 FPGA GTP multi-gigabit transceivers, including the ML623 and SP623 characterization boards, ChipScope™ Pro IBERT reference design, PCB design files, and documentation.

The ML623 characterization board features 24 GTX transceivers with high performance Virtex-6 LX240T FPGAs. Virtex-6 FPGA GTX transceivers are ideal for higher bandwidth, low-power connectivity applications with line rates from 750Mb/s to 6.5Gb/s. The SP623 characterization board provides access to 8 GTP transceivers with low-cost, low-power Spartan-6 LX150T FPGAs that offer the lowest risk, lowest cost serial connectivity with line rates from 614Mb/s to 3.125G/ps. Each GTX and GTP transceiver is accessible via four SMA connectors.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• GTX transceivers offer industry’s best signal integrity with eight programmable levels of Transmit Pre-emphasis and four programmable levels of Receive Equalization
• GTP transceivers are power-optimized for 150- 180mW per transceiver with programmable Transmit Pre-emphasis and Receive Equalization
• GTX and GTP transceivers are automatically configured with the Xilinx CORE Generator™ software to support different protocols or perform custom configuration
