Emulating External SERDES Devices with Embedded Rocket I/O Transceivers (WP160) - The Virtex-II Pro™ Platform FPGA provides an attractive single-chip solution to serial transceiver design problems that previously required multiple devices. This white paper describes several different dedicated external SERDES devices, and presents alternative design solutions using the Virtex-II Pro Platform FPGA with RocketIO™ transceivers.
