2 Overview
The PolarFire
®
FPGA family includes multiple embedded low-power, performance-optimized
transceivers. Each transceiver has both the physical medium attachment (PMA), protocol physical
coding sub-layer (PCS) logic, and interfaces to the FPGA fabric. The transceiver has a multi-lane
architecture with each lane natively supporting serial data transmission rates from 500Mbps (250 Mbps
with interpolation) to 12.7 Gbps.
The transceiver includes all required analog functions for high-speed data transmission between devices
over printed circuit boards (PCB) and high-quality cables. The transceiver is suitable for a variety of
device-to-device communication protocols, as shown in the following table.
