Credo expands its unique programmable power
versus channel reach performance SerDes technology to TSMC N3 and
N7/N6 processes
Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd (NASDAQ: CRDO) today
introduced its newest 112G PAM4 SerDes Intellectual Property (IP)
family on TSMC’s industry leading N3 and N7/N6 process
technologies. These two new SerDes IPs complement Credo’s available
IP in TSMC’s N5 process technology, which also includes the
enhanced N4 version of the 5nm node.

Jeff Twombly, Vice President of Business
Development for Credo Technology Group commented, “Credo is
committed to delivering industry leading performance combined with
outstanding energy efficiency across the newest optimal process
technologies and for a wide variety of reaches. By selecting from
our broad portfolio of 112G PAM4 IP, our customers can design
complex, monolithic chips rapidly and cost effectively for
demanding applications.” (Photo: Business Wire)
This comprehensive SerDes IP family supports a wide range of
demands including long reach plus (LR+), long reach (LR), medium
reach (MR) and very short reach plus (VSR), for applications
including AI, machine learning, high performance compute,
switching, security, and optical deployments.

“We believe 112G SerDes is the critical technology to enable
AI/ML at scale and will be the main driver for Ethernet Switch
revenue and port growth over the next three years,” said Alan
Weckel, Founder and Technology Analyst at 650 Group. “We anticipate
that Credo’s purpose built, energy efficient, optimized low power
programmable per reach 112G SerDes architecture will be a key
building block for semiconductor companies as they migrate their
designs to 800G and 1.6T.”
Credo’s advanced DSP based 112G PAM4 SerDes architectures were
developed and proven on TSMC’s 12nm process technology. The 12nm
technology was then integrated into Credo’s complete family of 112G
per lane connectivity products for both copper and optical
applications at 800G and 1.6T port rates. Credo then ported the
12nm, 112G SerDes to more advanced process technology nodes (N7/N6,
N5/N4, and N3) – allowing customers to integrate the silicon proven
technology into monolithic ASICs and chiplets.
Software programmable innovations allows customers to optimize
power and performance on a lane-by-lane basis, unleashing new
levels of system level performance. These new 112G PAM4 SerDes IP
were designed to meet the growing data needs of high-speed,
data-intensive applications.
Credo's SerDes technology enables silicon solution providers and
OEMs to manufacture custom chip solutions which address new market
opportunities, while delivering on critical performance and
low-power system level requirements. All Credo IP solutions are
supported with evaluation boards, simulation models,
characterization reports, reliability reports, design libraries and
a complete set of supporting documentation. Customers interested in
this new IP should contact sales@credosemi.com.
About Credo
Our mission is to deliver high-speed solutions to break
bandwidth barriers on every wired connection in the data
infrastructure market. Credo is an innovator in providing secure,
high-speed connectivity solutions that deliver improved power
efficiency as data rates and corresponding bandwidth requirements
increase exponentially throughout the data infrastructure market.
Our innovations ease system bandwidth bottlenecks while
simultaneously improving on power, security, and reliability. Our
connectivity solutions are optimized for optical and electrical
Ethernet applications, including the emerging 100G (or Gigabits per
second), 200G, 400G, 800G and the emerging 1.6T (or Terabits per
second) port markets. Credo products are based on our proprietary
Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) and Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
technologies. Our product families include Integrated Circuits
(ICs) for the optical and line card markets, Active Electrical
Cables (AECs) and SerDes Chiplets. Our intellectual property (IP)
solutions consist primarily of SerDes IP licensing.
