Fast frequency generation/ modulation

Hi there I am not really familiar with FPGA families and their spped grades etc Is anyone here able to telll me what is the fastest clock signal and PWM signal I could output from a Alte...

This then begs the question what parameter do I look for to find the maximum clock an FPGA can use?

I took a cursory (ill admit it was VERY cursory) glance at a few spec sheets for FPGAs, and they seemed not to be to happy to actually say what speed this might be...

I mean what is "high perfomance" for an FPGA these days? 100MHz? 1GHz?

Dave thanks for your transceiver suggestion I will follow that up in the morning.

Im sorry, though I do appreciate your help, I actually cant go into much detail about what Im doing, but basically the signal is used to switch a FET.

thanks again
