IRVINE, Calif., March 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Broadcom
Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global innovation leader in
semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications,
today announced rapid adoption of its latest 40/50/100 Gigabit
Ethernet (GbE) PHY in pluggable QSFP+ optical and DAC modules.
Multiple original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and original
device manufacturers (ODMs) have adopted the devices for immediate
implementation. Broadcom will showcase its latest innovations for
high speed interconnects products at the OFC Technical Conference
in Los Angeles, California,
March 24-26. For more news, visit
Broadcom's Newsroom.
To meet rising data traffic demands, network operators are
looking for cost and performance improvements in the data center
that can leverage legacy cabling. Optimized for use in 40G quad
small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) optics and direct attach copper
(DAC) applications, the Broadcom PAM4 devices enable transmission
rates of 40/50 gigabits per second (Gbps) over the existing
infrastructure.
"The rapid adoption and support of our PAM4 technology by our
leading customers and partners reinforces Broadcom's leadership in
wired physical layer devices," said Lorenzo
Longo, Broadcom, Vice President and General Manager,
Physical Layer Products. "Our devices are designed to support
higher data throughput over existing low bandwidth channels by
transmitting more bits per symbol, significantly reducing cost by
eliminating the need for expensive interconnect media."
"We are pleased to be working with Broadcom to deliver
future-proof technology using their latest PAM4 offering," said
Chris Lyon, Amphenol Product
Manager. "Using the BCM82004 in a 1X40G PAM4 QSFP implementation,
we are able to meet our customers' expectations for excellence,
performance and scalability."
"Using Broadcom's new PAM4 technology has enabled us to provide
our data center customers with high performance, dependability and
more flexibility than ever before," said Arash Behziz, TE System Architecture Group
Technologist. "The 40G Direct Attach Copper provides cost savings,
reduces infrastructure management issues and positions us for
long-term success."
"Broadcom and Molex share a long-term partnership in today's
highly competitive communications environment," said Zach Bradford, Molex Manager of New Product
Development. "Coupled with our Impel product line, Broadcom's
latest PAM4 technology supports high data rate applications and
delivers exceptional performance — giving our customers the right
tools they need to drive data speed growth."
At OFC 2015, Broadcom and its ecosystem partners will
demonstrate:
- 40G PAM4 QSFP Modules over Broadcom® StrataXGS® Switch
Platform
- 56G PAM4 Over Backplane
- 56G PAM4 Over Optics
Key Features:
- Single 40/50GbE PHY drives 40/56G serial over various
media
- Supports a variety of DAC reaches from multiple suppliers
- Enables SMF/MMF optics and silicon photonics
- Low-power 28 nm CMOS design
- Small 7x7mm package fits within QSFP+ form factor, cable
assembly and optics modules
Availability
The BCM82040 and BCM82004 are now sampling.
