The Transceiver SI Development Kit, Stratix
signal integrity prototyping and testing kit based on the
Stratix II GX device. With this kit, you can perform device qualification
testing, transceiver performance testing at data rates ranging from
622 Mbps to 6.375 Gbps, and characterization testing of high-speed serial
interfaces. You can also configure the FPGA with one of the kit’s
pre-defined designs.
In addition to providing a signal integrity development board, the kit also
includes all of the hardware and software development tools, as well as
the documentation and accessories you need to begin developing signal
integrity systems using the Stratix II GX device.
This user guide will familiarize you with the contents of the kit and walk
you through setting up a signal integrity development environment.
