MaxLinear Showcases Breakout Mode Clocking Support for 400 Gbps DR4 Optical Modules at ECOC 2018
September 25 2018 - 3:00AM
Business Wire
MaxLinear, Inc. (NYSE:MXL), a leading provider of radio
frequency (RF), analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for the
connected home, wired and wireless infrastructure, and industrial
and multimarket applications, today announced support for 400 Gbps
breakout mode clocking in its MxL9354x products. The functionality
will be on display at the company’s stand (#684) at the European
Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) in Rome taking place
from Sept. 24-26, 2018.
MaxLinear’s Telluride 400 Gbps PAM4 DSP (MxL9354x), based on 100
Gbps single lambda technology, is enabling development of DR4 and
FR4 optical modules for the upcoming hyperscale datacenter
transition to 400 Gbps. The initial use case in this transition is
expected to be dominated by use of 400 Gbps DR4 modules used in a
breakout application.
The breakout mode of a 400 Gbps DR4 module requires certain
clocking considerations that allow for the four 100 Gbps lanes to
be treated as independent 100 Gbps ports and connect to a 100 Gbps
DR1 or FR1 module on the other side. The unique clocking
architecture of the MxL9354x makes it possible to achieve this
requirement seamlessly.
The MxL9354x is a family of low-power, high-performance PAM4 DSP
SoCs that enable 400 Gbps optical modules using a 4x100 Gbps optics
interface. These SoCs are suitable for use within QSFP-DD, OSFP and
COBO module form factors. Two options are currently available: the
MxL93542 that integrates an EA-EML driver with 1.8V PP SE swing,
and the MxL93543 that offers differential 800mV peak-to-peak swing
for non EA-EML-based optics.
