ORCA® ORT8850 Field-Programmable System Chip (FPSC) Eight-Channel x 850 Mbits/s Backplane Transceiver
Introduction
Field-programmable system chips (FPSCs) bring a whole new dimension to programmable logic: FPGA logic and an embedded system solution on a single device. Agere Systems Inc. has developed a solution for designers who need the many advantages of FPGA-based design implementation, coupled with high-speed serial backplane data transfer. Built on the Series 4 reconfigurable embedded system-on-chips (SoC) architecture, the ORT8850 family is made up of backplane transceivers containing eight channels, each operating at up to 850 Mbits/s (6.
