800Gbps PAM-4 DSP with Integrated VCSEL Driver

Credo-Dove-800D

Dove 800D

Dove 800D (CFD73801) is a versatile full-duplex device with industry-leading power dissipation that is ideal for next-generation, low-power, high-performance 2x400G, or 1x800G OSFP and QSFP-DD800 optical transceivers and AOCs.

The device includes the industry’s first monolithically integrated CMOS VCSEL drivers and fourth generation DSP technology which together creates an optimized, high-performance, small footprint solution that meets increasingly stringent energy efficiency requirements. The Dove 800D is tailored for multimode optical fiber (MMF) applications.

Dedicated PLLs for each transmit and receive data lane enable a wide range of breakout applications. High-performance optical and electrical host side DSP technology, together with specialized performance enhancing features, compensate for optical and electrical impairments while maintaining low-power dissipation.
