Delivers New Security Features Along with 40%
Power/Bit Savings Compared to Prior Generation
SANTA
CLARA, Calif., Dec. 8, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVL),
a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, today
introduced Alaska® C
X9340P, a new 5nm 1.6T Ethernet PHY with 100G I/O capability,
featuring built-in Media Access Control security (MACsec) and full
support for Precision Time Protocol (PTP), for cloud data center
and communications network applications. MACsec allows data center
operators to enable hardware-based link-layer security and PTP
enables Ethernet networks to support ultra-reliable timing-critical
services. The X9340P and the previously announced Alaska C X93160
PHY together provide a pin-compatible, flexible platform
for retiming, gearboxing, encryption and timing applications for
speeds up to 800GbE.
The X9340P is the latest Marvell product built on the industry's
highest performance PAM4-based 112 Gbps SerDes technology and
delivers 40% lower power-per-bit compared to PHYs using 56Gbps
PAM4-based SerDes technology. The Alaska C X9340P PHY incorporates
the IEEE 802.1AE 256-bit MACsec capability in the PHY, providing
for flexible encryption deployment while eliminating the cost and
power burden of including this functionality in the switch ASIC.
Marvell is supporting the Switch Abstraction Interface (SAI) driven
by the Open Compute Project (OCP) on both the X9340P and X93160
devices to enable the vendor-independent control of networking
equipment elements demanded by leading cloud data center customers.
The new PHY also integrates support for PTP for timing-critical
use cases in 5G and telecom applications. The stringent timing
requirements of 5G networks and applications served by them are
driving the timing accuracy that needs to be delivered by networks
supporting these services. The inclusion of Class C PTP
timestamping enables the support of sub-microsecond end-to-end
clock synchronization accuracy needed for 5G Ultra-Reliable
Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) services that enable
mission-critical use cases such as industrial automation.
"100G PAM4 I/Os and 800 Gigabit Ethernet are the next leap
forward for the industry," said Venu
Balasubramonian, vice president of product marketing, High
Speed Connectivity and PHY Business Unit at Marvell. "Our newest
1.6T Alaska C PHY solidifies Marvell's position as the silicon
provider with one of the broadest and most advanced high-speed
Ethernet PHY portfolios for cloud data center and carrier
markets."
"Switching remains one of the stronger markets in data
infrastructure. We anticipate that the data center switch market
will grow at 9% CAGR over the next five-years with Cloud and Telco
service providers growing double-digits and comprising two thirds
of the market by 2026," said Sameh Boujelbene, senior director,
Campus and Ethernet Switch Market Research at Dell'Oro Group.
"Growth in Cloud and Telco service provider segments will also be
accompanied by an increase in bandwidth, power efficiency and
security requirements. As 800G networking rolls out, we expect to
see more focus on PHY performance and encryption."
