Interlaken Intel® FPGA IP
Interlaken is an interconnect protocol for high-speed, channelized chip-to-chip interface in networking applications. It is optimized for high-bandwidth chip-to-chip packet transfers at rates from 10 Gbps to 600 Gbps and beyond.
Interlaken Intel® FPGA IP core is ideal for:
- Multi-terabit routers and switches for access
- Carrier Ethernet and data center applications that demand IP configurability to optimize for various traffic profiles
- Scalability for next-generation platforms

Features
Intel has been a part of the Interlaken Alliance since its inception in 2007 and continues to innovate new protocol features to provide customers with robust and easy-to-implement Interlaken IP solutions. Intel now offers up to 600G Interlaken IP.
With the release of Intel's next-generation Intel® Arria® 10 FPGAs and SoC FPGAs, the Intel® FPGA Interlaken IP Portfolio accomplishes major development milestones: third-generation soft IP (includes media access control (MAC)) and second-generation hardened IP (includes physical coding sublayer (PCS) / physical medium attachment (PMA)). These seasoned, battle-tested cores continue to provide the additional robustness and maturity required for new, more intelligent systems.
