112Gb/56Gb PAM-4 PHY
Industry leading DSP performance and power efficiency enabling MMF and SMF optical transceivers to meet IEEE and all optical module MSA specifications
Client-side interoperability with Broadcom merchant switch devices using proven industry leading 28-Gbaud and 56-Gbaud SerDes architecture and flexibility to support either 56-Gb/s or 112-Gb/s PAM-4 physical lanes
Option to support direct drive capability from the PHY for 50-Gb/s per lane and 100-Gb/s per lane eliminating the need for an external laser driver
Key PHY product families
BCM874xx/871xx-Centenario family with 50-Gb/s per lane client side to 100-Gb/s per lane for optical line side interfaces
BCM878xx-Portofino family with 100-Gb/s per lane client side and 100-Gb/s per lane for optical line side interfaces
BCM875xx-Estoque family with 50-Gb/s per lane client side and 50-Gb/s per lane for optical line side interfaces
Broadcom will demonstrate multiple products based on 112Gb PAM-4 PHY with 100Gb PAM-4 EML and 100Gb PAM-4 VCSEL technologies running on Broadcom's Tomahawk switch platform at the 2021
'Broadcom offers a complete line of PAM-4 PHYs with direct drive capability that reduce power and cost while enhancing the ease of deployment,' said
'Broadcom's ability to bring 100G VCSELs and uncooled 100G EMLs to market will enable our customers to address two of the most important challenges facing hyperscale operators - power consumption and bandwidth density,' said
'Growth in demand for optical connectivity in hyperscale datacenters exceeded all expectations. It increased by 80x over the last decade: from 10G in 2010 to 800G by the end of 2020,' commented Dr.
Availability
The Portofino PHYs are sampling now, and the Centenario and Estoque PHYs are production released. Additionally, Broadcom has begun sampling its 100G MMF and 100G SMF kits to qualified customers. Please contact your local Broadcom sales representative for samples and pricing.
