JDSU Adopts Altera Stratix V GT FPGA For Production Of Next-Generation Optical Testers

"The Stratix V GT FPGA is built to support the evolution of OTN infrastructure, which faces bandwidth exhaustion as existing solutions approach their maximum capacity," said Jordon Inkeles, senior product marketing manager at Altera. "Our latest OTN solutions are built on the industry's highest performance 28 nm FPGAs and provide leading-edge companies like JDSU the only production-qualified 28 Gbps FPGA platform that includes hardened IP, programmable logic, and OTN processing in a monolithic die. Our Stratix V GT FPGA delivers superior signal integrity for the highest performance, lowest power OTN deployments."

About Altera's Stratix V GT FPGAThe Stratix V GT FPGA is the only FPGA shipping in production today that features 28 Gbps transceivers. The FPGA supports backplane, optical module and chip-to-chip applications through four 28.05 Gbps transceivers and 32 full-duplex, 14.1 Gbps transceivers. Stratix V GT FPGA transceivers consume only 200 mW per channel, dramatically reducing a system's power-per-bandwidth profile.

AvailabilityThe production Stratix V GT FPGA is available today. For purchasing information, readers should contact a local Altera sales representative. JDSU's ONT-600 series of testers based on Altera's Stratix V GT FPGA is available through JDSU. For additional information about the Altera Stratix V FPGA family, visit www.altera.com/stratix5.
