Overview

Empowering customers to thrive in the AI Era, INNOSILICON™ introduces its most advanced 112G SerDes (Serializer/Deserializer) and Controller IP, designed to meet the high-performance interconnect demands of cutting-edge computing chips in hyperscale data centers, cloud training and inference clusters, and next-generation networking infrastructure. This solution delivers 200Gbps, 400Gbps, and 800Gbps interconnect bandwidth and supports both short- and long-reach, including optical interconnect applications.

Designed with a small footprint, ultra-low latency, and low power consumption, the INNOSILICON™ 112G SerDes maximizes bidirectional memory access efficiency, reduces software complexity, and helps chip developers leverage existing Ethernet infrastructure to significantly lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Featuring IEEE 802.3-compliant Forward Error Correction (FEC), 35dB ultra-high channel loss compensation, and adaptive high-speed equalization technologies (CTLE, FFE), it provides full-cycle link protection—from error correction to pre-warning—enabling highly compatible, stable, and efficient chip-to-chip connectivity solutions.

Key features

  • Fault detection capable of identifying conditions that compromise link reliability (e.g., loss of synchronization or high bit error rates)
  • Pseudo-random test-pattern generator and checker for both transmitter and receiver testing
  • Implements Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction (RS-FEC) using the RS (544,514) code with codeword interleaving as defined in IEEE 802.3
  • RS-FEC supports external statistics collection by providing a statistics vector
  • Supports evolving IEEE standards as specified by the UALink Consortium
  • Multi-rate support and configurable for 400G and 200G application
  • High-speed PMA service interface operates at 106.25Gbps per lane
  • Features auto-negotiation and link training capabilities
  • High-performance receive equalization with channel loss of 35 dB 
  • Continuous Calibration and Adaptation (CCA), providing robust performance across voltage and temperature variations
  • Adaptive and configurable RX Continuous Time Linear Equalizer (CTLE), Feed Forward Equalizer (FFE), and Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE)
  • Locked Loop (PLL) provides robust timing recovery and better jitter performance
  • Advanced, built-in diagnostics of hard macro functions through eye scope
  • Embedded pseudo-random bit sequence (PRBS) for internal and external loopbacks
  • Integrated microcontroller and Firmware to manage PHY configuration
  • Embedded temperature sensor for on-die temperature measurements

How a 16Gbps Multi-link, Multi-protocol SerDes PHY Can Transform Datacenter Connectivity

Increasingly, more of the focus on mobile has centered around cloud datacenters and the networking to get the data back and forth between these datacenters and the mobile device. Functions like voice recognition and mapping depend on the ability to split the functionality between the smartphone, for local processing like encryption and compression, and the back end, where a large number of servers can do the heavier lifting before returning the results.

One PHY, Zero Tradeoffs: Multi-Protocol PHY for Edge AI Interface Consolidation

The Cadence 10G multi-protocol PHY was architected to address this exact challenge. Designed to scale across multiple process nodes, it consolidates PCI Express (PCIe), USB, DisplayPort, Ethernet, and other interfaces into a single, compact, silicon-efficient block. What sets it apart is simultaneous multi-protocol support, which enables multiple data paths without duplicating hardware, requiring extra board connectors, or paying the area and power penalty of separate IP blocks.
