SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GigOptix, Inc. (NYSE MKT: GIG), a leading supplier of advanced semiconductor communications components for use in Cloud connectivity, data centers, and high-speed optical and wireless networks, today announced that it will be showcasing its live demo of 100GbE Short Reach QSFP28+ and SFP28+ chipsets and the 46 GBaud PAM4 Metro driver at the upcoming OFC/NFOEC show. The Datacom centric demo will feature its single and quad channel 28Gbps VCSEL driver and TIA receiver and the new 4x28G CDR/Retimer. The Telecom centric demo will feature GigOptix’s linear quad SMT driver with high linear performance to 46Gbaud PAM-4 signal, promising solution for small form factor modules beyond 100G.
Visit GigOptix’s OFC/NFOEC booth #3419 to view both demos.
The Datacom demo will showcase:
- GigOptix HXT8204: a 28Gbps 4-channel VCSEL driver designed for compact, low-power 100G Ethernet SR4 optical pluggable modules and Active Optical Cables (AOCs).
- GigOptix HXR8204: a 28Gbps 4-channel Trans-Impedance Amplifier (TIA) with integrated limiting amplifier receiver array designed for high capacity datacom 100G Ethernet SR4 pluggable modules and AOCs.
- GigOptix HXT8201: a 28Gbps 1-channel VCSEL driver designed for compact, low-power 28G Ethernet SR optical pluggable modules and Active Optical Cables (AOCs).
- GigOptix HXR8201: a 28Gbps 1-channel Trans-Impedance Amplifier (TIA) with integrated limiting amplifier receiver designed for high capacity datacom 28G Ethernet SR pluggable modules and AOCs.
- GigOptix HXC42400: a 28Gbps 4-channel CDR/Retimer for 100G Ethernet SR4/LR4 optical transmitter pluggable modules and Active Optical Cables (AOCs).
- GigOptix HXC42200: a 28Gbps dual channel, proof of concept CDR/Retimer application for 28G Ethernet SR/LR optical transmitter pluggable modules and Active Optical Cables (AOCs).
The Telecom demo will showcase:
- GigOptix GX64470: a 46Gbps 4-channel SMT driver, with 5- Vpp single-ended output voltage designed for advanced multi-level modulation format beyond 100G coherent systems.
GigOptix next generation datacom chipset, HXT8204/HXR8204/HXC42400 and HXT8201/HXR8201/HXC42200, offering a reduced power, complete solution for 100G Ethernet SR4 modules or AOCs will be previewed as part of the OFC/NFOEC 2016.
The Telecom portfolio will also preview the GX64470 next generation, 46Gbaud/channel, SMT, low power consumption, four channel linear driver for 200G metro applications.
About the 100GbE SR Complete Chipset Live Demonstration
GigOptix will demonstrate its solutions for 100GbE SR4 applications utilizing the soon to be production released GigOptix HXT8204 Laser Driver, HXR8204 TIA, and HXC42400 Quad CDR/Retimer ICs at GigOptix booth #3419. The 100G demonstration will showcase the devices combined to deliver 25.78Gbps over more than 150m of multimode fiber. The performance between the devices was optimized to deliver error free performance with PRBS31 traffic across the fiber and highlights the ability of the newly acquired CDR/Retimer technology from Terasquare and GigOptix’s Trans-impedance Amplifier (TIA) and Laser Driver (LD) to form a solution for VCSEL based applications such as 100GBASE-SR4. The combined solution offers low power dissipation of less than 2W in the QSFP28 MSA form factor. In addition, GigOptix will showcase a SFP28+ proof of concept solution that incorporates its single channel HXR8201 28G TIA and HXT8201 28GVCSEL Driver with its CDR/Retimer technology.
About the 46Gbaud Linear Modulator Driver Live Demonstration
GigOptix will demonstrate 46Gbaud operation of the GX64470, which is an optical modulator driver designed for beyond 100G coherent small form factor applications, at GigOptix booth #3419. The demonstration will show the time domain output waveform of the driver when 46Gbaud PAM-4 modulated differential signal is input, which corresponds to an electrical domain signal to convert 16QAM optical signal in the succeeded optical modulators. The driver is a high-performance parallel linear Mach-Zehnder Modulator driver with coplanar SMT configurations, and it consists of 4 x 46 Gb/s broadband amplifiers, each capable of driving a linear output voltage of 5Vpp suitable for multilevel modulation format beyond 100G coherent applications.
