Xilinx Announces Integration of 56G PAM4 Transceiver Technology into its Virtex UltraScale FPGAs Devices to accelerate next wave of Ethernet deployment for wired and data center interconnect May 17, 2017

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc. (XLNX) today announced integration of 56G PAM4 transceiver technology into its industry-leading Virtex UltraScale FPGAs.
