● Overview

The Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) HSMC board provides a hardware platform for evaluating the interoperation of Altera FPGA, specifically Stratix IV GX, Arria GX, and Arria IIGX, with generic SFP modules. The optical modules that are of particular importance are SGMII Ethernet, Fiber channel, CPRI/OBSAI, and SONET.
