Interface protocols enable chip-to-chip, board-to-board, or box-to-box connectivity in system designs. Protocol IP solutions from Altera® and its partners satisfy the needs of a broad spectrum of applications and leverage the integrated transceivers in our FPGA and ASIC devices. Interface protocol solutions are delivered as licensable IP cores and reference designs as well as no-cost megafunctions and design examples.
Visit our Transceiver Protocols section to learn more about the integrated transceivers and their supporting interface protocol solutions.
