“Avago has a long track record of setting new benchmarks in IP performance for embedded SerDes, which is closely tied to our unmatched ability to deliver working silicon on the first try,” said Frank Ostojic, vice president and general manager of Avago’s ASIC Products Division. “We are already working with leading customers on products that will bring these revolutionary 28 Gbps capabilities to the wired communications market.”
Avago’s SerDes cores can be easily integrated thanks to their modular architecture for multiple transmission speeds. Avago can integrate more than 200 SerDes channels or more than 190 million gates into a single ASIC, while the number of FETs typically exceeds 4 billion. The SerDes cores offer unique decision feedback equalization (DFE) that results in lower power consumption. Other features that set it apart are the best latency time in its category, and its immunity to noise, jitter, and crosstalk.
Apollo and Alcatel-Lucent break the speed barrier in underwater communications networks
Apollo and Alcatel-Lucent have announced an industry milestone: a successful demonstration of data transmission at approximately 3 terabits per second (Tbit/s), based on 40 Gbit/s channels, per fiber pair in a submarine network. Apollo is a...
