Inphi says its Porrima Gen2 Single-Lambda Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM4) platform with integrated laser drivers reduces optical module bill of materials (BOM) cost and enables sub-10-W 400-Gbps QSFP-DD optical transceiver modules for wired network infrastructure – including hyperscale cloud data center, service provider, and enterprise networks. The 16-nm device enables client optics module deployment for both 400-Gbps and 4x100-Gbps applications with breakout mode support.
Judge’s comment: “Important component to address single carrier 100GbE (DR1/FR1) and four-carrier 400GbE (DR4/FR4) solutions including 4x100GbE breakout.”
