New Octal, Quad and Dual Devices Optimized for Power, Performance and Cost to Address Growing AI Demands
SAN JOSE, Calif. & SHENZHEN, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 5, 2023-- Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd (NASDAQ: CRDO), an innovator in secure, high-speed connectivity solutions that deliver the necessary energy efficiency and data rates to address the constantly growing bandwidth requirements of the data infrastructure market, today announced the availability of Seagull 452 family of high-performance, low-power optical Digital Signal Processors (DSPs). The family consists of the octal channel Seagull 452, the quad channel Seagull 252 and the dual channel Seagull 152 DSPs. All devices come with integrated VCSEL, EML and SiPho drivers.
“With the massive growth of AI as predicted by the market forecasters, we see a tremendous opportunity to grow our footprint with customers, including hyperscalers, as the number of optical interfaces required to meet the AI workload flow will only continue to increase,” said Michael Girvan Lampe, Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Marketing at Credo. “Hyperscalers supporting AI applications will need to balance this growth demand for new levels of performance with capex and energy concerns. The Seagull 452 family of DSPs aims to help our customers balance these concerns while also benefitting from this growing market opportunity.”
The Seagull 452 family incorporates Credo’s fourth generation DSP technology on the electrical host interface and the optical interface. This allows for extended host side reach supporting seamless operation over short and long PCB channels beyond the VSR specifications without having to modify the device settings. On the optical side, the latest performance enhancements allow customers to relax the optical component specifications, thereby increasing manufacturing yields and lowering costs.
The new Seagull 452 boasts exceptionally low-power consumption and is targeted at the burgeoning 400G Active Optical Cable (AOC) market for AI networks. This breakthrough is achieved while maintaining superior link performance, compact size and optimized cost that makes this product line a superior choice for all 400G, 200G and 100G AOC and transceiver applications.
All members of the Seagull 452 family support 25 Gbps NRZ operation for backwards compatibility.
