■ Transceiver block features
■ High-speed serial transceiver channels with CDR support up to 3.125 Gbps.
■ Devices available with 4, 8, or 12 high-speed full-duplex serial transceiver channels
■ Support for the following CDR-based bus standards—PCI Express, Gigabit Ethernet, SDI, SerialLite II, XAUI, and Serial RapidIO, along with the ability to develop proprietary, serial-based IP using its Basic mode
■ Individual transmitter and receiver channel power-down capability for reduced power consumption during non-operation
■ 1.2- and 1.5-V pseudo current mode logic (PCML) support on transmitter output buffers
■ Receiver indicator for loss of signal (available only in PCI Express [PIPE] mode)

The Arria® GX family of devices combines 3.125 Gbps serial transceivers with reliable packaging technology and a proven logic array. Arria GX devices include 4 to 12 high-speed transceiver channels, each incorporating clock data recovery (CDR) technology and embedded SERDES circuitry designed to support PCI-Express, Gigabit Ethernet, SDI, SerialLite II, XAUI, and Serial RapidIO protocols, along with the ability to develop proprietary, serial-based IP using its Basic mode. The transceivers build upon the success of the Stratix® II GX family. The Arria GX FPGA technology offers a 1.2-V logic array with the right level of performance and dependability needed to support these mainstream protocols.
