Simple bridging. Bandwidth-hungry,

media-rich applications. Or something in

between. No matter the scope, create your

designs with the broadest portfolio of

FPGAs and ASICs with transceivers. From

low cost to the widest range of speedsand densities, youll have a full spectrum

of transceiver solutionsas broad as

your imagination.
