Inphi announced that it was first to production with a 100Gbps/400Gbps Single-Lambda PAM4, a complete 56GBaud solution with linear TIA and drivers. Andrew Schmitt commented in the press release:
“Large scale cloud data centers continue to expand, but operators want better 400GbE components and more competitive pricing—lower cost per bit—before they transition to this speed,” states Andrew Schmitt, Directing Analyst at Cignal AI. “Inphi’s PAM4 DSP leads the market in addressing these needs and now that it is shipping in production, it will help catalyze the transition to high volume 400GbE.”
