Xilinx 7 series FPGAs deliver the highest aggregate bandwidth in the industry with up to 2.78 Tb/s. Our largest FPGA, with up to 96 13.1 Gb/s transceivers, delivers more bandwidth than any competing device.

Xilinx FPGA serial transceivers are the most widely used in the market. This integrated portfolio of reliable transceivers spans up to 28.05 Gb/s and provides the industry’s best serial signal integrity. Utilizing our scalable optimized architecture, Xilinx 7 series FPGAs are ideally suited for advanced applications ranging from consumer to high-end networking. These applications are supported with a broad range of protocols.

There are four different transceiver types designed to address distinct requirements.

• GTP (6.6 Gb/s) in Artix™-7 FPGAs: Main stream low power connectivity in ultra low-cost packages
• GTX (12.5 Gb/s) in Kintex™-7 and Virtex®-7 FPGAs: Cost effective 12.5 Gb/s optical and backplane applications
• GTH (13.1 Gb/s) in Virtex-7 FPGAs: Supports 25% overhead required for EFEC in wired OTU and high performance backplane applications with low power
• GTZ (28.05 Gb/s) in Virtex-7 HT FPGAs: Enables bandwidth for 100 - 400G applications supporting major high-speed serial and optical protocols

The table below shows the ranges supported within each family of devices for today’s applications.

The following is a list of protocols addressed by 7 series transceivers.
