Purpose-built SoC consumes 40% less power and volume for 800G AECs
AECs Built with the New Point2 Purpose-Built SoC Consume 40% Less Power and 40% Less Cable Volume to Accelerate the Era of Energy Efficient and Sustainable Datacenters.
The P1B120 mixed-signal SoC integrates eight-unidirectional serial data channels with clock data recovery (CDR)/re-timer functions that support 112G (PAM4) or 56G (NRZ) data rates. The advanced mixed-signal architecture with BER-aware signal processing produces pre-FEC BER that is one order of magnitude better than other AEC IC solutions, leading to improved mean time before failure (MTBF) for deployed devices. The on-chip intelligent engine provides self-diagnostic capabilities during AEC development and field servicing. Combined with improved MTBF, the P1B120 delivers AECs with best-in-class network quality of service for deployed devices. The P1B120 is an ideal cloud-connect solution for DDCs data centers, enterprise networks and edge cloud use cases.
