MACOM showcasing optical and high-speed analog and mixed-signal solutions at OFC
MACOM Technology Solutions Inc of Lowell, MA, USA (which designs and makes RF, microwave, analog and mixed-signal and optical semiconductor technologies) is hosting live demonstrations of its products in booth #3927 at the Optical Networking and Communications Conference (OFC 2023) in San Diego (7–9 March), where the firm’s optical and high-speed data IC design, product management and applications engineering teams are providing in-depth explanations of MACOM’s semiconductor solutions and benefits.
The demonstrations feature new product additions to MACOM’s portfolio of optical and high-speed analog and mixed-signal solutions. Live demos include:
- MACOM PURE DRIVE 100Gbps per lane linear drive: This solution removes DSP from optical modules and demonstrates what is claimed to be an industry-leading low-power, low-latency solution for 100G/lane optical communications for both single-mode and multi-mode fibers.
- 800G (8x100G) multimode QSFP-DD: Showcasing MACOM’s low-cost, low-power PAM-4 analog chipset for short-reach multi-mode applications and interoperability with DSP-based partners.
- 800G/400G (100Gbps per lane) active copper cable (ACC) equalizers: MACOM’s active copper cable extends and doubles the reach of passive copper for data-center applications, offering lower power and lower latencies.
- 50G PON downstream link: MACOM’s complete, end-to-end solution for 50G PON, including 50G NRZ DSP with integrated EML driver, 50G APD and TIA receiver.
- Optical clock recovery test module for 400G/800G applications: MACOM’s high-accuracy custom test solutions for NRZ and PAM-4 signal clock recovery for optical module production.
At OFC, attendees to booth #3927 can meet with MACOM’s engineers to learn how the firm’s newest products are enabling high-speed next-generation PON, wireless and wireline telecom and cloud data-center networks.
