Driving the Future of High-Performance Computing through 224G Ethernet IP

Ethernet design starts are normally ahead of the IEEE & OIF specification release. The 1.6T Ethernet standard is no exception as companies are already designing SoCs for a wide range of applications requiring high-speed SerDes. Early silicon proof points with the right 224G SerDes technology allows for a clear insight into all the requirements to achieve 1.6T success. This presentation uses an example of a silicon proof point to highlight the architectural requirements, such as DSP, forward-error correction, PAM-4 vs. PAM-6 signaling, that designers need to consider to confidently move to 1.6T designs.
