Marvell Technology has begun sampling a 5nm 1.6T Ethernet PHY with 100G I/O capability, featuring built-in Media Access Control security (MACsec) and full support for Precision Time Protocol (PTP). MACsec allows data center operators to enable hardware-based link-layer security and PTP enables Ethernet networks to support ultra-reliable timing- critical services. The X9340P and the previously […]
https://youtu.be/3TsYgWaKGuU Astera Labs has demonstrated the industry’s first CXL memory pooling solution to reduce memory stranding, optimize memory utilization and reduce TCO for cloud servers. The demo shows how memory pooling can be deployed today with Leo and CXL 1.1-capable 4th Gen Intel Xeon processors. Presented by Ahmad Danesh, Sr. Director, Product Management, Astera Labs. […]
Marvell has confirmed that that leading cable manufacturers, including Amphenol, Molex, and TE Connectivity, are sampling to cloud data center operators their 100G/lane active electrical cables (AECs) powered by Marvell Alaska A PAM4 DSPs. At these speeds, the physical reach achievable with passive direct attach cables (DACs) falls short of the distance requirements for server-to-ToR […]
The CXL Consortium announced the release of the CXL 3.0 specification, doubling the data rate to 64GTs compared to the 2.0 generation. The idea with CXL is to maintain memory coherency between the CPU memory space and memory on attached devices, allowing resource sharing. “Modern datacenters require heterogenous and composable architectures to support compute intensive […]
Windstream Wholesale completed interoperability testing of QSFP-DD form factor ZR+ pluggable modules from II-VI and Acacia, now part of Cisco. The tests established 400 Gigabit links in a production environment over a 1,027-kilometer link. The team also leveraged the Marvell Deneb Coherent DSP within a native 0 dBm II-VI pluggable and the Acacia module using […]
Marvell introduced its Alaska A PAM4 DSP family for Active Electrical Cables (AECs) designed for data center interconnects by hyperscale customers.The new Alaska 400G/800G DSPs, fabricated in 6nm process, leverages Marvell’s PAM4 DSP technology to improve signal integrity in copper, short reach AECs to address emerging 100G/lane adoption in cloud data center interconnect architectures. The […]
Marvell has begun sampling the industry’s first 50Gbps PAM4 DSP and TIA chipset solution for 5G fronthaul. Key features of the new Marvell AtlasOne chipset: PAM4 digital core for optimal performance across a range of applications. Marvell’s companion IN5662 TIA for linearity while maintaining ultra-low noise and power. The industry’s first PAM4 DSP integrated Direct […]
Marvell and OE Solutions are collaborating on 100G QSFP-DD optical modules optimized for 5G backhaul and metro access applications. The OE Solutions 100G QSFP-DD Coherent Transceiver with the Marvell Deneb Coherent DSP (CDSP) will enable the transition of 10G to 100G coherent solutions for 5G, metro and access applications. The companies anticipate product release […]
Marvell Technology agreed to acquire Innovium, a start-up offering switching silicon for cloud and edge data centers, in an all-stock transaction valued at $1.1 billion. Innovium, which is based in San Jose, California, offers high-performance switching silicon solutions for cloud and edge data centers. The company was founded in 2014 and has approximately 230 employees. […]
The Telecom Infra Project’s Evenstar reference desing for O-RAN deployments has picked up new supply chain partners, including Baicells, Marvell, MaxLinear, and Sterlite Technologies Limited. Existing technology partners include ADI, Altiostar, Baicells, Flex, Mavenir, MTI, Parallel Wireless, and Xilinx. Evenstar is focused on building general-purpose RAN reference architecture for 4G and 5G networks that decouples […]
Marvell has begun sampling the industry’s first 1.6T Ethernet PHY with 100G PAM4 electrical input/outputs (I/Os) in 5nm, enabling next-generation 100G serial-based 400G and 800G Ethernet links for high-density switches. The doubling of the signaling rate creates signal integrity challenges, driving the need for retimer devices for high port count switch designs. It’s critical that […]
Marvell Technology completed its previously announced acquisition of Inphi Corporation. The combination creates a U.S. semiconductor powerhouse positioned for end-to-end technology leadership in data infrastructure. “I am excited to welcome the Inphi team to Marvell and look forward to realizing the tremendous value creation potential of this combination for our customers, employees and shareholders. Together […]
Samsung Electronics and Marvell have jointly developed a new System-on-a-Chip (SoC) to power Samsung’s Massive MIMO and other advanced radios. The new SoC supports 5G and 4G networks simultaneously, and it can also save up to 70 percent in chipset power consumption compared to previous solutions. “We are excited to extend our collaboration with Marvell […]
Marvell introduced the first 112G 5nm SerDes solution that has been validated in hardware. The company also confirmed that it has recently secured a new custom ASIC design win customer that will embed this new IP to build next generation top-of-rack (ToR) and spine switches for leading hyperscale data centers. The Marvell 5nm SerDes solution […]
Nokia and Broadcom are collaborating on the development of advanced semiconductor technologies, including new custom system-on-chip (SoC) processors, which will be integrated into Nokia’s “5G Powered by ReefShark” portfolio. The collaboration further expands the range of Nokia ReefShark chipsets available for 5G solutions and will improve both the system performance and energy footprint of 5G […]
Marvell agreed to acquire Avera Semiconductor, the ASIC business of GLOBALFOUNDRIES, for $650 million in cash at closing plus an additional $90 million in cash if certain business conditions are satisfied within the next 15 months. Marvell said its ambition is to become the world’s leading supplier of infrastructure semiconductor solutions and that Avera’s ASIC […]
