- Marvell 3D Silicon
Photonics Engine is designed to enable higher density, lower power
optical interconnects for next-generation AI clusters and cloud
data centers.
- The industry's first SiPho Engine with 200 Gbps electrical
and optical interfaces, the device delivers 2x the bandwidth and
30% lower power per bit versus comparable devices with 100 Gbps
electrical and optical interfaces.
- The SiPho Engine leverages advanced 3D packaging and other
Marvell technologies to integrate
hundreds of components into a single device.
SANTA
CLARA, Calif., March 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell Technology, Inc.
(NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor
solutions, will demonstrate its 3D Silicon Photonics (SiPho) Engine
this week, the industry's first highly integrated SiPho engine
featuring 32 channels of 200G electrical and optical interfaces for
connecting next-generation AI clusters and cloud data centers at
multi-terabit speeds.
The Marvell 3D SiPho engine
combines hundreds of components such as waveguides and modulators,
photodetectors, modulator drivers, trans-impedance amplifiers,
microcontrollers, and a host of other passive components into a
single, unified device to dramatically boost the performance,
bandwidth, and energy efficiency of optical interconnects. The 200
Gbps device delivers 2x the bandwidth, 2x the input/output (I/O)
bandwidth density, and 30% lower power per bit versus comparable
devices with 100 Gbps electrical and optical
interfaces1.
Device integration and greater bandwidth input/output (I/O)
density provide a pathway for producing a wide spectrum of optical
interconnects optimized for different use cases and form factors
ranging from pluggable modules to future co-packaged optics
(CPO).
"Silicon photonics has been gaining momentum in coherent optical
transceivers for connecting data centers over long distances," said
Vlad Kozlov, CEO and founder of
LightCounting. "In its next phase of development, we expect the
technology to become more prevalent inside data centers and AI
clusters. Our current forecast is for annual growth in shipments to
approach 40% through 2028."
"Advances in optical interconnect technology are necessary to
realize the promise of AI and accelerated infrastructure," said Dr.
Loi Nguyen, executive vice president
and general manager of Cloud Optics at Marvell. "Our 3D SiPho engine is designed to
enable higher bandwidth, higher I/O density, and lower power
optical interconnects that scale cloud service providers'
infrastructure to meet the growing bandwidth needs of emerging AI
services and applications."
The demonstration will take place at OFC 2024 this week in
San Diego, California.
