Electrical breakthrough powered by 224G
long-reach SerDes is critical building block for the AI era
SANTA
CLARA, Calif., Oct. 16,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell Technology, Inc.
(NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor
solutions, will demonstrate 200 Gbps-per-lane electrical I/O at
this year's OCP Global Summit, showcasing technology that serves as
a critical building block for 200G/lane active electrical cables
(AEC), laying the foundation for next-generation AI clusters and
cloud infrastructure.
In booth B13, Marvell will show a live demonstration of its PAM4
DSP technology driving 200 Gbps per lane over electrical channels.
Underpinning the demonstration is Marvell 224G long-reach SerDes
technology, capable of driving 40dB+ of insertion loss at
224G/lane. Microsoft, in booth B7, will conduct the same technology
demonstration optimized for a Microsoft-specific copper-channel use
case.
High-speed SerDes technology is a key intellectual property
foundation of Marvell's industry-leading data infrastructure
platform, which also includes encryption engines, system-on-chip
fabrics, chip-to-chip interconnects, and physical layer interfaces,
for designing semiconductors, processor subsystems and chiplets
optimized for different use cases, customers and applications.
Marvell 5nm 224G long-reach SerDes technology with its 40dB+ reach
capability at 224G/lane signaling enables the development of a
range of components with 200G electrical I/O needed to address the
performance demands of the next generation of cloud
infrastructure.
"Marvell is continuing its SerDes leadership in 200G and is
addressing the accelerating bandwidth requirements of AI and other
complex workloads," said Achyut Shah, senior vice president
and GM, Connectivity Business Unit, at Marvell. "We are pleased to
be demonstrating our leading offerings at OCP and for the
technology to be showcased in Microsoft's booth."
A SerDes, or serializer/deserializer, is a functional block used
in the design of integrated circuits for high-speed communications.
A SerDes block converts data from parallel interfaces, such as the
I/O of a switch ASIC, to a serial interface, enabling
the exchange of data between devices over copper or fiber
connections. Different SerDes blocks are optimized for different
distances, with long-reach SerDes used to enable connections over
physical interconnects between systems (meters) and short-reach or
extra-short-reach SerDes used to connect die within a
system-on-a-chip.
Marvell incorporates its SerDes, along with interconnect
technologies, into its flagship silicon solutions
including Teralynx® switches, PAM4
and coherent DSPs, Alaska® Active Electrical
Cable (AEC) retimers and Ethernet physical layer
(PHY) devices, OCTEON®
processors, Bravera™ storage controllers, Brightlane™
automotive Ethernet chipsets, and custom ASICs.
The 2023 OCP Global Summit is taking place October 17-19 at the San Jose Convention Center. Visit Marvell in
booth B13 and Microsoft in booth B7.
