Tri-Mode I/O Controller
SAS3816
Broadcom Tri-Mode SerDes technology enables seamless operation of PCIe, SAS or SATA storage devices in a single drive bay. The introduction of PCIe devices executing NVMe to the existing SAS/SATA infrastructure makes industry standard, hot-pluggable drive bays even more versatile. Whether you’re building external or cloud-based storage systems for high connectivity, or outfitting servers, the SAS3816, 16-port, 12Gb/s Tri-Mode SAS/SATA/PCIe Gen4 IOC provides choices for storage optimization by enhancing direct-attached storage (DAS) solutions.

FPGA PXI High-Performance Digital I/O Card
GX3700
The GX3700 is a user configurable, FPGA-based, 3U PXI card which offers 160 digital I/O signals which can be configured for single-ended or differential interfaces. The card employs the Altera Stratix III FPGA, which can support SerDes data rates up to 1.2 Gb/s, digital I/O clock rates of 700 MHz, and features 47,500 logic elements and 2.1 kb of memory. The GX3700 is supplied with an integral expansion board providing access to the FPGA’s 160 I/Os. Alternatively, users can design their own custom expansion cards for specific applications - eliminating the need for additional external boards which are cumbersome and physically difficult to integrate into a test system. The design of the FPGA is done by using Altera’s free Quartus II Web Edition tool set. Once the user has compiled the FPGA design, the configuration file can be loaded into the FPGA directly or via an on-board EEPROM.

PCI Express
PCI Express (PCIe) is a highly successful SerDes interface that is used in computing devices spanning a wide range of applications. Currently in its fourth generation with on-going roadmap development for a fifth generation, the PCIe interface is undergoing major technical advancements that require state-of-the-art development and validation tools. For example, Gen4 PCIe devices operate at 16 Gbps per lane and are expected to deliver very low bit error rate (BER) levels even over constrained and lossy transmission channels (e.g. printed circuit boards).
