Mohit Gupta, Director of Product Marketing, presents about system tradeoffs for high-speed serial link selection at DesignCon 2016.
With the new era of every device getting smart and data getting bigger, there has been a constant increase in bandwidth and speed requirements for networking communications on the back end side. From the age of chips communicating at 1Gbps to 10Gbps to 40Gbps to 100Gbps and setting the stage for 400Gbps and 1Tbps in coming years, everyone wants to communicate faster and faster but at the same time by being more efficient (energy consumption) and smaller (silicon area).
