According to Altera, the company was presented with the award at EDN China's Innovation Award ceremony, which took place during the 2009 Innovation Conference held in Shenzhen, China on November 18. The Stratix IV GT FPGA is a single-chip device that meets the high-speed bandwidth requirements for framer, MAC, bridging and switching applications for 100-Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 100-Gigabit Optical Transport Networks (OTN). "As the only programmable devices with integrated 11.3-Gbps transceivers, Stratix IV GT FPGAs are suited to meet the demands of today's high-bandwidth applications and we are happy to present Stratix IV GT FPGAs with our Best Product Award," said Jeff Lu, editor-in-chief of EDN China. "This leading-edge device delivers several features that will enable design teams to bring the industry's next-generation communications systems to market." "Our Stratix IV FPGA family has received broad industry recognition since its introduction in 2008 and we are honored that EDN China and its readers selected Stratix IV GT FPGAs for such an award," said Vince Hu, VP of product and corporate marketing at Altera. Stratix IV GT FPGAs are optimized specifically for the latest generation of 40G and 100G applications used in communications systems, test equipment and military communications systems. Stratix IV GT FPGAs feature up to 48 integrated transceivers with 32 that operate up to 11.3 Gbps, delivering the industry's highest bandwidth available on a programmable device. Stratix IV GT FPGAs feature up to 530K logic elements (LEs), 20.3-Mbits internal RAM and 1,288 18x18 multipliers.
