Inphi Starts Production Shipments of M200 LightSpeed-III 100/200G Coherent Digital Signal Processor
March 13 2018 - 8:05AM
OFC 2018 – Inphi Corporation (NYSE:IPHI), a leading provider of
high-speed data movement interconnects, today announced that the
company has started shipping the production version of its M200
LightSpeed-III™, Coherent Digital Signal Processor (DSP) with
ultra-low power and high-performance supporting 100G and 200G data
rates for long haul, metro and data center interconnect
applications. Multiple Tier 1 OEMs have committed to commercial
deployments of Inphi’s M200 solution in the second half of 2018.
Inphi will be showcasing the M200 in its booth #4013 at OFC 2018 at
the San Diego Convention Center, March 13-15, 2018.
The M200 is the first offering in Inphi’s 16nm
LightSpeed-III family of SoC devices that leverages Inphi’s
leadership in DSP and FEC technology, including internal analog
expertise and SerDes IP. OEMs and module partners will be shipping
M200 based solutions in high density form factors like CFP2-DCO,
CFP-DCO and highly integrated line cards based on discrete
miniaturized optics or CFP2-ACOs.
“Power at the required performance, density and
cost per bit are drivers for rapid expansion of metro networks,”
said John Lively, Principal Analyst for LightCounting Market
Research. “The M200 family of ultra-low power and high
performance Coherent DSP provides the power and performance
flexibility required to enable lower cost optical system
architectures based on CFP2-DCO, CFP-DCO and dense line card form
factors.”
M200 enables industry-leading OSNR performance of
17.5db for 200G 16QAM at the lowest power compared to other
coherent DSPs. This performance is critical to enable the large
scale transition from 100G to 200G in metro networks. M200
leverages 16QAM modulation to deliver this performance, while
enabling 30% higher spectral efficiency than competing 8QAM based
solutions. This truly enables 200G deployments on legacy and
current networks that have been deployed with 50Ghz grid spacing
and maximizes the number of ROADM nodes traversed without
requiring electrical regeneration.
“Enabling our customers to ship M200 based solution’s marks a
key achievement paving the way for revenue ramp in 2018,” said
Nariman Yousefi, SVP, Coherent DSP, Inphi. “In the second half on
2018 we will begin to see the first products in the market that
demonstrate a dramatic value proposition in terms of density,
power and cost reduction per bit for our customers.”
