While a lot of people focus on the floating point and integer processing architectures of various kinds of compute engines, we are spending more and more
Octal Serializer/De-Serializer Chips
Source: Velio Communications This family of high-performance, low-power SerDes (serializer/deserializer) backplane transceivers can deliver up to 3.125 Gbps over eight full-duplex lanes for an aggregate 50 Gbps on a single device. This family of high-performance, low-power SerDes (serializer/deserializer) backplane transceivers can deliver up to 3.125 Gbps over eight full-duplex lanes for an aggregate 50 Gbps on a single device. The octal 3.125 Gbps SerDes device consumes two watts of power - less power than quad 1.25 Gbps SerDes devices shipping today.
The company offers a compelling intra-system signaling solution for designers of high-performance networking equipment, such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet systems and OC-192 SONET/SDH optical systems, as well as SAN systems built around the Infiniband and Fibre Channel standards.
