Pathway to Terabit Optics and IC Integration
Advanced RF integrated circuits (linear drive optics, DSP-less) are uniquely designed to address power consumption, density, and cost for 400Gbps, 800Gbps, and 1.6Tbps high-speed optics in AI and Data Center applications. Furthermore, ADP eliminates DSP-induced latency and compensates for fiber dispersion in inter-data centers, metro access, and wireless 5G networks.
Real-time proprietary FFE (feed forward equalization) pre-distortion circuitry increases the speed of optical components by 2.5-4 times. For example, 50GHz optics run at 100Gbaud PAM-4 speed, resulting in 200Gbps per lane with nearly error-free transmission. This shortens the development cycle and the need for the fastest high-speed optical components, each cycle usually takes at least 3-5 years of time. Future-proofs in 400G-lane optics.
ADP signal processors utilize tap delay lines that are lower voltage and higher impedance, thus requiring very fewer transistors (i.e. hundreds of transistors). This compares to typical DSPs, which use ADC/DAC to digitally parallel process signals at very fast data rates and require many more transistors (i.e. billion transistors). Power consumption is reduced by two orders of magnitude, which is critical in the next-gen AI and Data Center applications.
ADP processes signals at real-time, thus introducing no latency into the system. This compares to typical DSP, which uses large digital computation power to correct system impairments and causes significant delays in its digital signals processing. ADP plays an important role in premium low-latency AI applications.
All IC design utilizes existing proven fabrication processes. Manufacturing of OSA sub-assemblies requires no change from the existing 8x 100G to 8x 200G assembly processes. Ramp-up to high volume production is therefore straightforward.
Products are fully compatible and inter-operable with devices from other vendors. End-customers enjoy the benefits of ADP's faster speed, savings in power consumption and absence of latency, without concerns about any compatibility issues.
