Xilinx Showcases 400G Applications for Optical and Wired OTN Markets at OFC 2013


All Programmable FPGAs and highly optimized OTN SmartCORE IP portfolio enable 400G solutions for next-generation Smarter Networks



SAN JOSE, Calif. - Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) will demonstrate 400G optical and wired OTN applications based on its 7 series All Programmable FPGAs and recently announced portfolio of SmartCORE™ IP.  These demonstrations highlight Xilinx's commitment to address the growing ASIC and ASSP gaps for wired networks, enabling customers to design and deliver smarter and more efficient communications systems for next-generation smarter networks. Visit Xilinx at OFC 2013 in Anaheim, Calif. from March 19-21, at the Anaheim Convention Center, Booth #1426.



Xilinx Booth demonstrations



4x 100G OTN Transponder on a Virtex®-7 FPGA



    -  This demonstration showcases the world's first 400G capacity OTN

       single-chip solution and features 13.1 Gbps (GTH) transceivers that

       provide robust performance at line rates that exceed ASSP and

       competitive offerings. This compact, cost-effective OTN solution

       incorporates fully-featured 4x 100G Transponder OTN SmartCORE IP,

       enabling customers to build smarter solutions that address their market

       needs for 100G and 400G+ line cards.



400G OTN Test Development Platform 



    -  This platform features a highly-integrated, single Virtex-7  FPGA

       capable of prototyping OTN Muxponder, Transponder and switching

       solutions that scale from 10 Gbps to 400 Gbps. The advance prototyping

       capability combined with availability of optimized IP cores minimizes

       development risk and reduces time-to-market.



XFEC: The Xilinx® Proprietary 100G Super FEC Solution Demonstration



    -  This demonstration showcases the Xilinx 100G XFEC (High Gain Xilinx

       Forward Error Correction) capabilities on a video stream with the

       programmable noise level controlled through a GUI.  With a coding gain

       in excess of 9.35 dB and a latency of 11uS the 100G XFEC enables longer

       reach, lower cost optical links for smarter, bandwidth efficient

       networks to be realized.



Xilinx Interoperability Demonstrations



Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) Booth #2769



    -  Xilinx will demonstrate interoperability between its 28 Gbps (GTZ)

       transceiver and a Fujitsu CFP2 optical module running at 25.78 Gbps.

       Leveraging the OIF-CEI-28G-VSR implementation agreement, this

       demonstration illustrates real-world integration of 100G networking

       systems.



Oclaro Booth #2701



    -  Xilinx will demonstrate its 28 Gbps capable GTZ transceivers

       interoperating with an Oclaro CFP2 module at 25.78 Gbps. Attendees will

       see how to create a more intelligent network through our Virtex-7 HT

       family with up to 16 x 28 Gbps (GTZ) transceivers that communicate

       directly with CFP2 optical modules (up to x4), thereby removing external

       Gearbox ASSP and retimers - reducing cost, power, footprint and board

       complexity.



Ethernet Alliance Booth # 2909



    -  Xilinx will demonstrate interoperability between its 28 Gbps GTZ

       transceiver and a Finisar CFP2 optical module operating at 25.78 Gbps.



Reflex Photonics Booth # 1046



    -  Xilinx will demonstrate a 123.75 Gbps optical link based upon Virtex-7

       FPGA 12.5 Gbps (GTX) transceivers interoperating with a Reflex Photonics

       Reflex 123.75 Gbps LightABLE.  The Xilinx Virtex-7 T devices support up

       to 56 x 12.5 Gbps (GTX) transceivers and the Virtex-7 XT devices support

       up to 96 x 13.1 Gbps (GTH) transceivers enabling the highest reliability

       links, best performance per-watt and fastest time-to-market.
