CORRECTING and REPLACING - Inphi Announces Third Generation, Low-Power Porrima PAM4 Platform for Hyperscale Data Center Netwo...
March 09 2020 - 12:52PM
In a release published earlier today by Inphi Corporation (NYSE:
IPHI) with the same headline, one number was stated incorrectly. In
the third bullet, the figures should be <8W 400 Gbps, not <8W
800 Gbps. The corrected release follows.
Inphi Corporation (NYSE: IPHI), a leader in high-speed data
movement interconnects, today announced its new Porrima™ Gen3
Single-Lambda PAM4 platform, the third generation of its
industry-leading PAM4 platform solution optimized for hyperscale
data center networks. The Porrima Gen3 platform reduces the total
module power consumption, lowers total cost of ownership and
enables a wider range of lasers, enriching the ecosystem with the
next generation of innovation.
Inphi has been the leading force to define and create a PAM4
ecosystem of optical module suppliers. In 2018, Inphi rolled out
Porrima Gen1 platform and then Porrima Gen2 in early 2019,
establishing the industry’s leading platform with proven
performance. After successfully enabling the adoption of 400G DR4
and FR4 modules powered by Inphi’s first and second generation
Porrima PAM4 DSP, it was a natural progression to provide a path to
lower power with a qualified software/API suite. Based on 7nm,
Porrima Gen3 offers an expanded feature set and enhanced direct
drive capability, further expanding the breadth of lasers that can
be used with the integrated laser driver. The new platform is also
designed to reduce total module power consumption to less than 8W
for 400Gbps DR4/FR4 mode in the QSFP-DD form factor.
“Porrima Gen3 is another prime example of our ongoing dedication
to this market, by increasing investments to exceed customer needs
and stay ahead of the competition,” said Eric Hayes, SVP,
Networking Interconnect, Inphi. “Not only are we delivering better
performance and lower power with this third-generation PAM4
solution, but we are also making it easy for customers to make a
smooth transition. This will accelerate adoption of this total
solution and maintain our market leadership position.”
“Once again, Inphi demonstrates market leadership with its
ongoing commitment to reduce both the footprint and power of its
PAM4 solutions,” said Andrew Schmitt, Directing Analyst at Cignal
AI. “Inphi’s PAM4 DSP is well-positioned to address the need for
standards-based 400GbE connectivity as well as the customized, high
volume hardware requirements of large cloud operators.”
Porrima Gen3 Key attributes and Benefits:
- Compatible API and software suite with Porrima Gen1 and Gen2
ensure smooth transition in deployment
