SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kandou Bus has announced that it will demonstrate its Glasswing™ USR SerDes technology at the DesignCon 2018 Conference, co-host a panel announcing a new industry consortium for developing USR solutions, and participate in an Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) panel.
“DesignCon is an excellent opportunity for Kandou to demonstrate and discuss our new, 16 nm Glasswing SerDes based on our Chord signaling technology,” said Kandou Founder and CEO Amin Shokrollahi. “We can now show that Chord signaling delivers on the promise of higher bandwidth at <1 pJ/bit power consumption for die-to-die interconnect in a shared package. The Glasswing does not require a silicon interposer, which provides our customers with improved packaging flexibility and significant cost savings.”
On the DesignCon exhibit floor, Kandou, in collaboration with Keysight, will demonstrate its second generation USR Glasswing PHY. Called “GW16-500”, this techology provides 500Gbps of bi-directional throughput while consuming <1pJ/bit. The IP is only 2.4mm on die edge by 1.0mm deep and uses a standard 150 micrometer bump pitch.
On Tuesday at 4:45 PM, Kandou and Marvell will participate in a panel introducing the USR Alliance, an industry consortium that is forming to address the specific challenges of integrating multiple die inside a shared package. The presenters will discuss the MCM-focused technical specifications that are being worked on at the Alliance and will also talk about their company's viewpoints regarding the reaches, modulation techniques, and measurement techniques needed to enable a multi-vendor ecosystem of devices.
On Wednesday at 3:45 PM, Kandou will participate in the OIF panel presentation. The Kandou speaker will present the OIF’s CEI-112G-MCM project, and three other speakers will discuss the OIF’s CEI-112G-VSR project. These projects collectively are trying to define the first two reaches of the 100 Gb/s generation of electrical interfaces.
