Technology Approach

Bandwidth requirements continue to grow due to demand from applications like big data, mobility, and cloud. Designers rely on Credo’s technology to accelerate throughput and deliver robust end-to-end signal integrity in next-generation platforms requiring single-lane rate 28G, 56G, and 112G connectivity.

Credo is a global innovation leader in Serializer-Deserializer (SerDes) technology. We have consistently broken through perceived technical barriers, delivering industry-leading speed, power and equalization. Our unique, patented mixed signal architecture is the foundation for connectivity solutions and robust IP offerings.

Our foundation rests on three technology pillars.

Purpose-Built Design

  • High speed analog
  • Mixed signal DSP
  • Ease of system-level integration

Manufacturing Efficiency

  • High-yield, n-1 process nodes
  • Advanced packaging
  • Faster time-to-market

Firmware

  • Tightly coupled firmware
  • Complete SDKs
  • Secure, remote accessibility

Credo PCIe 6 retimers deliver 40dB reach and sub 7ns latency at 11W, allowing designers to extend their PCIe traces while ensuring best-in-class system performance.

Credo's Pluggable Patch Panel (P3) empowers both service providers and hyperscalers by decoupling pluggable optics from core switching and routing hardware, using Credo’s HiWire Active Electrical Cables (AECs). 

Our cutting-edge optical devices are renowned for high performance, low power, and cost optimization and offer a range of solutions for hyperscale data centers, AI, 5G, and telecom deployments.

HiWire AECs integrate retimer, gearbox, and forward error correction functionality into smaller gauge copper cables as an alternative to AOCs and DACs at 400G and beyond. 

Credo stands as a leader in SerDes IP for custom ASICs. Seamlessly integrate Credo's SerDes into next-generation ASICs with our advanced IP and Chiplet. 

Credo retimers, gearboxes, and MACsec devices facilitate PAM4/NRZ line card and backplane connectivity at up to 112G per lane. They enable platforms with capabilities reaching 52.1Tbps, featuring 800G ports.
