FPGA Camp - a mini conference on FPGA on 26th Aug., 2009 in Silicon Valley

FPGA Camp brings engineers together and discuss FPGA, mainly NextGen FPGA technology, application, methodology, best practices and challenges. Also provide a location to meet other local FPGA designers to share their stories.

Agenda:

- 5:30 PM- 6:00 PM: Registration and demo

- 6:00 PM- 7:00 PM: Tech Talk- "High Speed Serial Interface: Protocols, IPs & Devices"

- 7:00 PM- 7:30 PM: Vendor talk- a brief talks from the vendors offering High Speed Serial Interface devices or IPs. (5 to 10 Mins each).

- 7:30 PM- 8:00 PM: Networking and exhibits

High Speed Serial Interface: Protocols, IPs & Devices

Recent expansion in the Video usage and growth in the Internet use have created a demand to move more data faster than ever. To meet this demand, system & chip designers are moving towards high speed serial interfaces such as PCIe, XAUI, Interlaken, XFI, 10GbE etc.

With FPGA devices currently supporting speeds upto ~12.5Gb per IO pair, which makes FPGAs a unique choice for the next design.

This talk will focus on familiarizing people with various protocols (both currently used & emerging), IPs & Devices which can be used to solve the next system problem.

The talk will be followed by quick presentations from some of the vendors offering these solutions (no marketing talk, only technical).

Registration: FREE! Feel free to bring a friend.
