Industry-Leading Power Optimized 112G-VSR/MR SerDes Solution

In data center interconnects, short-reach connectivity is needed in use-case scenarios for chip-to-chip, chip-to-optical-module, near-packaged optics, co-packaged optics or die-to-die. Power and area efficiency is critical in these use cases. The Cadence 112G-VSR/MR PAM4 PHY provides optimized power, performance, and area (PPA) for short-reach to medium-reach applications at 1.25Gbps to 116Gbps data rates.
