Leveraging UltraScale™ FPGA Transceivers
AMD UltraScale™ architecture-based transceivers deliver real value to the designer through their unprecedented synergy of leading-edge hardware and interconnect IP.
The transceiver offerings cover the gamut of today’s high speed protocols. The GTH and GTY transceivers provide the low jitter required for demanding optical interconnects and feature world class auto-adaptive equalization with PCS features required for difficult backplane operation.

Notes:
Backplanes with AMD Transceivers
Leadership in auto-adaptive equalization means XAMD Transceivers provide robust performance across the most challenging backplane and direct attach copper cabled applications. AMD has built a reputation for high quality equalization, from the first 10GBase-KR compliant 7-series GTH to the upcoming 112G PAM4 GTM in Versal™ Premium series, which implements an advanced ADC/DSP based equalizer. Whether it’s a 10G backplane or 100G copper cabling, AMD has a transceiver to support it.
Optical Interconnects with AMD Transceivers
The optical landscape is quickly transitioning beyond 10Gb/s interfaces to 100Gb/s, 400Gb/s and beyond. AMD transceivers are positioned to support the wide range of optical rates and form factors. The Versal ACAPs feature a pair of transceivers to support the variety of optical interconnects in the ecosystem today. GTY/GTYP supports SFP+ and QSFP+ up to 16.3Gb/s and QSFP28 or OSFP up to 32.75Gb/s. The GTM transceiver supports these lower rates as well as QSFP56-DD up to 58Gb/s and future 100Gb/s per-lane interfaces. The equalization’s flexibility and auto-adaptation allows the same transceiver to support both long reach backplanes as well as the short chip-to-optics interconnects with little tuning and huge margins.
UltraScale+ MPSoC High Speed IO
The Zynq™ UltraScale+™ MPSoC comes equipped with the all new GTR Transceiver. By equipping the ARMv8 processors with a transceiver and peripherals to support the most common serial interconnects, AMD has simplified the design process and reduced the overhead associated with interfacing to those interconnects.

Accelerating Productivity for High Performance Designs
The AMD Versal and UltraScale Architecture transceiver portfolio delivers exceptional value to customers in the following areas:
Industry Leading Transceiver Technology
To help drive the next wave of Ethernet deployment, AMD is integrating 58Gb/s transceivers into its 16nm FinFET+ Virtex™ UltraScale+™ FPGA family. The new transceiver architecture:
PAM4 Modulation as the Way Forward
PAM4 (or 4-level Pulse Amplitude Modulation) has been recognized as the most scalable multi-level signaling protocol for next-generation line rates, and AMD is helping drive 58G PAM4 standardization efforts within both the Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
Paving the Way Forward for Next Generation Ethernet
Cloud Computing, Industrial IoT, and Software-Defined Networks applications, to name a few, continue to accelerate and drive the need for unlimited bandwidth. The latest transceiver architecture will enable vendors to
Next generation, standardized line rates are critical to meeting these ongoing bandwidth requirements.
AMD working with our Analog partners provides a rich set of JESD204B reference designs and high-speed analog FMC cards to jump start development.
