The FC Synthesizable Transactor is compliant with FC-FS-4, Rev 0.40. specifications and verifies FC interfaces. Fibre Channel is build on top of it to make it robust. Fibre Channel Synthesizable Transactor provides a smart way to verify the FC component of a SOC or a ASIC in Emulator or FPGA platform. FC Synthesizable Transactor is developed by experts in networking, who have developed networking products in companies like Intel, Cortina-Systems, Emulex, Cisco. We know what it takes to verify a networking product.
