When designing with Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), design engineers have been challenged with FPGAs optimized for digital logic, including logic elements, core fabric, tools and process technology. When FPGAs are designed into analog solutions, the performance is limited in terms of cable length, data rate, reliability and more.

National is advancing Serializer/Deserialzer (SerDes) technology to the next level, with higher data-rate speeds, lower Input/Output (I/O) pin counts, longer interconnect support, tighter integration and FPGA friendly solutions.
