Inphi Introduces Next-Generation 400G DR4 Silicon Photonics Platform Solution for Hyperscale Data Center Networks
December 02 2020 - 8:00AM
Inphi Corporation (NASDAQ: IPHI), a leader in high-speed data
movement interconnects, today announced the sampling of its
next-generation 400G DR4 silicon photonics platform solution which
includes a silicon photonics integrated circuit (PIC), a flip chip
transimpedance amplifier (TIA), and an analog controller; all
designed to work seamlessly with Inphi’s industry-leading Porrima™
PAM4 Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to enable faster time to ramp
and lower cost per bit.
Inphi brings high volume silicon wafer scale manufacturing to
the optics industry by offering customers the option to purchase
Inphi-designed high-performance 400G DR4 PICs in full 200-mm wafer
form. Customers receive silicon PIC wafers direct from an Inphi fab
partner and will be able to continue with high-volume wafer scale
manufacturing and 3-D heterogenous integration in their own
factories. This innovative business model brings silicon wafer
scale manufacturing to the optics industry to enable faster ramp
and lower cost per bit.
“Inphi has been the leading force to define and create a PAM4
ecosystem of optical modules for cloud and data center networks,”
said Dr. Loi Nguyen, Founder and SVP, Optical Interconnect at
Inphi. “I believe today’s announcement will mark the beginning of a
new era of the ‘fabless optics’ industry. Optical transceiver
manufacturers can leverage silicon high volume wafer scale in the
manufacturing of transceivers without owning a fab.”

“Cloud Light is a premier supplier of advanced optical modules
for data center interconnect and has a strong heritage of design
and manufacturing with silicon photonic devices,” said Matt Davis,
VP of Sales and Marketing for Cloud Light Technology Limited
(“Cloud Light”). “We are excited about Inphi’s silicon photonics
solution and look forward to working with them to offer a
compelling cost per bit solution for the industry.”
