Credo Targets Hyperscale Data Centers and 5G Networks with New Optical DSPs
Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd (NASDAQ: CRDO) has launched two new optical DSPs, the Seagull 52 and Seagull 202, aimed at hyperscale and 5G applications. These devices offer high performance, low power consumption, and integrated DML drivers, addressing the increasing demands for bandwidth in data centers and optical transport networks. The Seagull 52 can function as a bitmux or retimer, while the Seagull 202 is designed as a full duplex product for high-density environments. Samples are available immediately for interested customers.
- Launch of Seagull 52 and Seagull 202 optical DSPs enhancing product portfolio.
- Targeting high-demand sectors like hyperscale data centers and 5G networks.
- Integrated DML drivers simplify design and improve functionality.
- Products support industrial temperatures and legacy data rates, enhancing usability.
- None.
Credo Targets Hyperscale Data Centers and
“The continued global roll out of hyperscale data centers and 5G networks requires more fiber, more towers and more bandwidth with a view to minimizing power,” said
Both products include a high-performance DSP engine. The DSP engine enables uncooled direct modulated lasers (DML) to be used in applications requiring industrial temperature, due to the increased non-linearities and signal impairments associated with the channel and optics of the engine. The DSP engine also enables use over an extended range of wavelengths in wavelength division multiplying (WDM) applications. The optical line side transmitters include integrated DML drivers with programmable laser currents to simplify module design. A number of test and debug features enable rapid bring-up, simplified lab and production testing, and reduced time to market.
About the Seagull 52:
The Seagull 52 is a versatile product that can be used as a bitmux or retimer in next generation QSFP28, DSFP, SFP-DD and SFP56 optical transceivers. In bitmux mode, the DSP is configured with two lanes of 25Gbps NRZ on the host side to one 53.125Gbps (26.5625GBd) PAM-4 lane on the line side. In retimer mode, Seagull 52 is configured as one lane of 53.125Gbps PAM-4 to one lane of 53.125Gbps PAM-4. Legacy data rates are supported for backwards compatibility.
Seagull 52 supports industrial temperatures of -40°C to +85°C and can be used in 5G wireless front, mid, and back haul, and high-density data centers.
About the Seagull 202
The Seagull 202 DSP is a full duplex product that can be used in next generation 4x50Gbps QSFP28 optical transceivers for high density data centers.
