SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Inphi Corporation\u00a0(NASDAQ: IPHI), a leader in high-speed data movement interconnects, today announced its new Alcor\u2122 PAM4 DSP platform to accelerate the industry\u2019s transition from 25G to 100G per wavelength. Based on Inphi\u2019s market-leading Porrima\u2122 PAM4 DSP platform<\/a>, the new Alcor platform includes Inphi\u2019s field proven PAM4 DSP technology, Linear TIA and Driver to provide even higher levels of integration and lower power for high-performance hyperscale data center, cloud computing and emerging AI applications.<\/p>\n

Inphi continues to be the driving force to define and create a PAM4 ecosystem of optical module suppliers. Building on its already established industry leading PAM4 DSP portfolio, the new Alcor platform offers an enhanced feature set with integrated 56Gbaud laser drivers that enable less than 3.5W QSFP28, DSFP and SFP-DD optical modules. The new PAM4 DSP also offers integrated driver options to address a broad range of implementations for optical interconnects.<\/p>\n

The foundation of Inphi\u2019s Alcor platform is a highly configurable DSP engine that is field proven and qualified in multiple hyperscale data center networks. The DSP is optimized to enable optical interconnect solutions for distances between 500 meters to 2km, while keeping an extremely low power profile. Alcor\u2019s enhanced feature set also provides optical network operators with advanced telemetry features for networking diagnostics and anomaly detection. Moreover, the integrated high-performance linear drivers eliminate the need for standalone components, thereby reducing system cost, complexity and time to market.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the market leader in high-performance optical PAM4 DSP platforms for the data center market, Inphi has introduced a field-proven, backward-compatible solution that accelerates the industry\u2019s migration to single-wavelength 100G,\u201d said Andrew Schmitt, Directing Analyst at Cignal AI. \u201cInphi\u2019s new Alcor platform is an ideal choice for 100G PAM4-based module designs with a single EML laser or Silicon Photonics modulator, providing a more scalable, reliable and cost-effective solution compared to traditional modules with up to four lasers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cInphi\u2019s execution and delivery of the Alcor PAM4 DSP with integrated driver, furthers our market leadership position, addressing an ever growing SAM, as NRZ based solutions accelerate migration to PAM4,\u201d said Eric Hayes, senior VP, Networking Interconnect at Inphi. \u201cThe integration, low power, and advanced telemetry of Alcor will accelerate creation and adoption of PAM4 based 100G DR optical modules, continuing to grow Inphi\u2019s already vast ecosystem to even more partners.\u201d<\/p>\n
