Products : Copper High Speed Serial Mezzanine Board

The Copper High Speed Serial mezzanine board can be used with compatible StreamStor® controllers to provide direct data input from various data sources such as SerialFPDP, SerialLiteII or 10GigE. When combined with a StreamStor® controller such as Amazon Express this interface can provide data input performance of up to 700 MB/s.

With its four independent copper ports the Copper High Speed Serial Mezzanine Board can support recording of up to four incoming data streams. The board can be ordered with support for data rates from 1.06 to 3,125 Gb/s. The board uses the industry standard XAUI copper connector style for easy connection to compatible data sources.

Standard support is provided for the Serial FPDP protocol (ANSI/VITA 17.1-2003), which is a highly specialized protocol optimized for maximum data rates and minimum overhead. With all packet formation and management performed by the hardware, there is no latency or other delays to affect data transmission performance. Combined with StreamStor® storage controllers this data interface provides a reliable and sustainable high speed data recording and playback solution. Other protocols can be supported with updates to the on-board Altera® Stratix® FPGA hardware. The flexibility of programmable logic makes it possible to customize the hardware to each unique application.
