VITA™ 57.1-compliant FMC™ connects FPGAs to fiber optic cables up to 100 meters
Overview
Samtec's 14 Gbps FireFly™ FMC™ Module provides up to 140 Gbps full-duplex bandwidth over 10 channels from an FPGA to an industry-standard multi-mode fiber optic cable. The FireFly™ optical engines provide adjustable power levels to support cable lengths up to 100 m. The Samtec 14 Gbps FireFly™ FMC™ Module supports Data Center, High Performance Computing and FPGA-to-FPGA protocols including Ethernet, InfiniBand™, Fibre Channel and Aurora.
As a VITA™ 57.1 FMC™, the Samtec 14 Gbps FireFly™ FMC™ Module can be used for optical data communication on any FPGA development board supporting high-speed multi-gigabit transceivers. It can run system data or BERT testing on all channels in parallel. This makes evaluation and development with an FPGA much easier.
