What's Changing In SerDes
SerDes is all about pushing data through the smallest number of physical channels. But when it comes to AI, more data needs to be moved, and it has to be moved more quickly.
Todd Bermensolo, product marketing manager at Alphawave Semi, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about the impact of faster data movement on the transmitter (more power) and on the receiver (gain and advanced equalization), how to ensure signal integrity, and tradeoffs involving bandwidth, power, reach, and latency.
