Introduction

The Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) HSMC board is a hardware platform for evaluating the interoperation
of Altera FPGA, specifically Stratix IV GX, Arria GX, and Arria II GX, with generic SFP modules. The optical
modules that are of particular importance are SGMII Ethernet, Fiber channel, CPRI/OBSAI and SONET.
Furthermore, the SFP HSMC board is intended for customers to implement both telecommunication and data
communications applications.
