SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 14, 2021 /CNW/ -- (TSXV:SEV) (OTCQB:SPVNF)
Spectra7 Microsystems Inc. ("Spectra7" or the
"Company"), a leading provider of high-performance analog
semiconductor products for broadband connectivity markets, and
MultiLane Inc. (MultiLane), a market leading manufacturer of
High-Speed IO and Data Center Interconnect test solutions,
announced that they will be demonstrating Spectra7's new 112G PAM4
GaugeChanger chip intended for next generation 800Gbps data center
interconnects at this year's annual China International
Optoelectronic Expo (CIOE) 2021 show at the Shenzhen Convention
& Exhibition Center in Shenzhen from September
16-18.
As the industry moves to 800Gbps it will adopt 112Gbps PAM4 per
lane signaling over 8 lanes. At these ultra-high signal rates,
traditional passive copper cables will struggle to reach beyond 1.5
meters. This creates a huge problem for Hyperscalers that require
longer lengths to serve both switch-to-switch and switch-to-server
connections, but do not want to incur the power and cost penalty of
optics. ACCs enabled with Spectra7's GC1122 solution will extend
copper cable reach 2.5 times, up to 4 meters at a fraction of the
cost of optics. Critically, at a time when Hyperscale operators are
struggling with power consumption and carbon emissions, ACCs using
the Spectra7 technology will consume only 200mW of power per
channel, which is up to 12 times lower power than optical
solutions.
The GC1122 is the latest addition to the GaugeChangerTM product
line and extends the data rate from 56Gbps PAM4 to 112Gbps PAM4 per
lane. Since the GC1122 is analog and highly linear, dynamics such
as line rate adjustment, multi-level signaling, intermittent line
silence, transmit pre-emphasis or amplitude adjustment and receiver
adaptivity are fully preserved. The GC1122 is packaged in an
ultra-small 2.7mm x 4.2mm chip scale package making it easily
embeddable in even the smallest of connectors.
The CIOE demonstration highlights Spectra7's new GC1122 device
as well as MultiLane's latest high speed test equipment including
the ML4015D DSO and the ML4079E 800G BERT.
"Spectra7's new GC1122 is set to fill a big need in the data
center interconnect market," said MultiLane CEO Fadi Daou. "We are delighted to be working with
Spectra7 and their cable partners as they anticipate bringing their
112Gbps products to mass production in 2022."
"We are seeing tremendous interest from every Hyperscaler to get
sample 800Gbps cables that are enabled by our new GC1122 solution",
said Spectra7 CEO Raouf Halim. "Both
we and our cable partners believe that 800Gbps will represent a
significant acceleration in the growth and adoption of our ACC data
center interconnect technology."
