ECOC 2019 – Inphi Corporation (NYSE: IPHI), a
leader in high-speed data movement interconnects, today announced
it’s first to production of a 100Gbps and 400Gbps Single-Lambda
Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM4) platform for the next
frontier of data center and cloud networking. Inphi’s Porrima™
PAM4 platform is a complete 56GBaud solution, with linear TIA
and drivers, for the optical network infrastructure including
mass-scale cloud data center, service provider and enterprise
networks.
“Production availability of our Porrima PAM4 platform is aligned
well with the data center expansion and is critical to meeting the
rapidly increasing bandwidth needs in today’s cloud computing and
hyper-scale data center environments,” said Eric Hayes, SVP,
Networking Interconnect at Inphi. “Inphi continues to expand
its technology and market leadership position in PAM4 data center
and cloud infrastructure, and as a result are seeing a tremendous
amount customer design win momentum supporting our now six
generations of DSP developments. Inphi continues to drive next
generation optical designs providing an ease of use API-based DSP
software suite that achieves quick time-to-market with the right
trade-offs in power and performance for data center optical
interconnects.”
“Large scale cloud data centers continue to expand, but
operators want better 400GbE components and more competitive
pricing—lower cost per bit—before they transition to this speed,”
states Andrew Schmitt, Directing Analyst at Cignal AI. “Inphi’s
PAM4 DSP leads the market in addressing these needs and now that it
is shipping in production, it will help catalyze the transition to
high volume 400GbE.”
Porrima PAM4 DSP Product
Family: Porrima PAM4 DSP IC provides a full bi-directional
interface with host ASICs that have 28GBaud PAM4and NRZ electrical
interfaces, while bridging to 56GBaud optics. The product family
can support PAM4 or NRZ signaling, and both Retiming and Gearbox
functionality with packaging specifically designed for the
following optics modules:
- Porrima 400G – 8x56Gbps PAM4 <-> 4x100Gbps PAM4 for
QSFP-DD/oSFP/COBO
- Porrima 100G – 4x25Gbps NRZ <-> 1x100Gbps PAM4 for
QSFP
- Porrima 100G – 2x50Gbps PAM4 <-> 1x100Gbps PAM4 for
QSFP/uQSFP/SFP-DD
Porrima Linear Drivers: The IN5630DE/IN5634SE
is a 56GBaud low power single/quad linear driver for PAM4 optical
modules. Features include:
- Excellent linearity, high bandwidth, adjustable gain to
optimize the PAM4 system performances
- Low-power modulator driver in small package or in bare die
form
Porrima Linear TIA’s: The IN5661TA/5664TA is a
56GBaud low power single/quad linear TIA for PAM4 optical modules.
Features include:
Wide dynamic range to meet the different performance and link
requirements for optical applications
- Excellent signal integrity necessary for PAM4 modulation
schemes
- Low-power and small form factor
