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.

- 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
