Overview

The Interlaken Intel® FPGA IP core is Interlaken Protocol Definition v1.2 compliant and allows system developers to achieve high bandwidth throughput in their systems. This pre-built, ready-to-go IP building block shortens the design cycle resulting in faster time to market.

Interlaken is an interconnect protocol for high-speed, channelized chip-to-chip interface in networking applications. It is optimized for high-bandwidth chip-to-chip packet transfers at rates from 10 Gbps to 600 Gbps and beyond.

Interlaken Intel® FPGA IP core is ideal for:

  • Multi-terabit routers and switches for access
  • Carrier Ethernet and data center applications that demand IP configurability to optimize for various traffic profiles
  • Scalability for next-generation platforms

Intel has been a part of the Interlaken Alliance since its inception in 2007 and continues to innovate new protocol features to provide customers with robust and easy-to-implement Interlaken IP solutions. Intel now offers up to 600G Interlaken IP.

The Intel® FPGA Interlaken IP Portfolio accomplishes major development milestones: third-generation soft IP (includes media access control (MAC)) and second-generation hardened IP (includes physical coding sublayer (PCS) / physical medium attachment (PMA)). These seasoned, battle-tested cores continue to provide the additional robustness and maturity required for new, more intelligent systems.

How to design an Interlaken to SPI-4.2 bridge

The future of networking is about higher bandwidth and lower power. More and more applications, such as video, continue to drive the bandwidth demands placed on networking equipment. At the same time, networking equipment must deliver these higher bandwidths without a dramatic increase in power consumption.

The Benefits of a Multi-Protocol PMA

At Silicon Creations, we have developed a power and area optimized, flexible and programmable PMA (Physical Medium Attachment) architecture that can be reliably ported to different process nodes and scaled across protocol generations as data rates increase. It is called the Multi-Protocol PMA, or MP-PMA for short.
