COTS Transceiver Board

Annapolis Micro Systems (Annapolis, MD) has announced a COTS board capable of capturing and processing multiple 100 Gbit signals in real-time. Made possible by the 11.3 Gbps High-Speed Transceivers in the Stratix IV FPGA from Altera Corp. (San Jose, CA), the Annapolis Dual 40/100Gbit CFP Transceiver Board for IBM BladeCenter integrates two CFP interfaces, allowing the capture, buffering, and processing or transmission of two 100Gbit Ethernet streams per card or six 40Gbit Ethernet streams per card. The board’s CFP transceiver cage interfaces support 100Gbit Ethernet, 40Gbit Ethernet, 100Gbit OTU4, 40Gbit SDH/OTU3, and QDR Infiniband protocols.

COTS board capable of capturing and processing multiple 100 Gbit signals in real-time.
Using one or two Altera Stratix IV GT EP4S100G5 FPGAs, up to 36 GB of DDR3 DRAM arranged as up to eight 72-bit ports and a 160x160 high speed crossbar, the dual 40/100Gbit CFP board is able to buffer and, if desired, preprocesses data at full rate from the CFP interfaces before it is sent on to Annapolis’ WILDSTAR 5 Blade for IBM BladeCenter.

The Dual 40/100Gbit CFP Transceiver Board includes Ethernet MACs for 40Gbit and 100Gbit Ethernet as well as full standardized board support for VHDL models, drivers, and APIs. Pluggable CFP Transceivers can be purchased to work with 100Gbit or 40Gbit Ethernet (802.3ba), 100Gbit (OTU4) and 40Gbit (SDH/OTU3) for Telecommunications, Tri-Channel 40Gbit Ethernet streams, or for QDR Infiniband streams.
