One of the key benefits of SoC FPGAs is the superior system bandwidth they offer. Simply putting the two devices together is not enough. It is critical that the connections between the processor and FPGA are well integrated. The Intel® SoC offers an interconnect with over 125 Gbps in bandwidth to ensure processor and FPGA communication is never a bottleneck. With memory controllers in both the HPS as well as the FPGA logic, it supports more than 170 Gbps of total memory bandwidth. By hardening peripherals such as Ethernet MAC and USB OTG, common components in most embedded systems, Intel® reduces system power and lower cost. For PCI Express, the SoC supports Gen2 x4 with hardened PCI Express blocks, and support Gen2 x8 with soft IP. For high-speed serial interfaces, it offers transceivers ranging from 3 to 10 Gbps featuring the lowest power consumption in the industry. Extensive use of error correction code throughout the system helps ensure data integrity which is particularly critical for industrial, military, and high-performance computing applications.
