Honored Contributorfpga design for 2.4GHz
hi can any one tell , 1. what is the maximum speed that we can go for present FPGAs 2. i want to use an fpga between triplexer and processor whose signal speed is 2.4 GHz. regards mkraj

Honored ContributorYou have to distinguish between the data rate (word rate) of the parallel data pathes and the bit rate of serial interfaces (e.g. PCIe, SATA, Ethernet). This applies both for FPGA and processors. The word rate required for PCIe or GBit Ethernet can be handled by most FPGA.
Some newer Altera FPGA (Arria II, Cyclone IV GX) have on-board hardware PCIe (Gen 1 2.5 GBps) interfaces.
