The Xilinx® 40G/50G High Speed Ethernet subsystem designs are challenging to implement in any technology, and the degree of difficulty is further influenced by:
- Maximum system clock frequency
- Targeted device architecture
- Nature of your application
All 40G/50G High Speed Ethernet subsystem implementations need careful attention to system performance requirements. Pipelining, logic mapping, placement constraints, and logic duplication are all methods that help boost system performance.
