The connection is direct to an FPGA. Such "outside world" Connectors are usually protected against =20 ESD using transorbs or zener diodes on the input lines. At =20 these gigabit speeds, zeners become capacitors and will distort the = signal. Can anyone recommend a suitable input protection scheme, or =20 any particular manufacturers products?
