Synopsys 112G Linear Optical PHY

Synopsys Develops 112-Gigabit PHY for Linear Optical Links in AI Systems

Synopsys says the new PHY, compatible with the OIF-CEI-112G-LINEAR-PAM4 specification, enables signal processing to be moved to the host SerDes, potentially reducing power consumption, latency, and heat in high-speed optical links. The solution targets AI and hyperscale data center architectures as the industry moves toward 224 gigabits per lane and beyond.
