QL80FCRDK-208 Datasheet PDF - QuickLogic Corporation

ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW
The QL80FCRDK is a complete development kit for Fibre Channel applications. It supports data transfers to and from the PCI bus across a Fibre Channel link. The RDK allows customers to quickly and easily test and verify Fibre Channel or general-purpose highspeed serial applications. The board includes a QL5064 PCI controller chip, two 8K x 40 bit FIFOs, the QL80FC ENDEC chip, a Vitesse 20 bit SERDES, and the rails to connect a GBIC.
