10G-100G/400G/800G/1.6T_ZX (e.g., Telecom)

The 10G-100G/400G/800G/1.6T_ZX from Alphawave Semi is a multi- channel, multi-rate Ethernet aggregator that supports tributaries in combinations up to 100G for 10G-100G_ZX, 400G for the 10G-400G_ZX, 800G for the 10G-800G_ZX, 1.6T for the 10G-1.6T_ZX utilizing the 112G/s SerDes, 56G/s SerDes and 25G/s SerDes.

Supported protocols

  • Ethernet: 10G, 25G, 40G, 50G, 100G, 200G, 400G, 800G
  • FiberChannel: 10GFC, 16GFC, 32GFC, 64GFC, 128GFC, 256GFC
  • FEC framing of FlexO-1/2/4-SR

With Core clock frequency of 1.6GHz at 7nm, 5nm, or lower, the Cores deliver smallest footprint among similar solution in the Ethernet/FiberChannel/FlexO SOC market.

10G-1.6T_ZX

It supports any legal combination of Ethernet/Fiberchannel/FlexO rate up to 2x 800G (1.6T). It supports a maximum of 16 or 32 Ethernet channels and works most efficiently when coupled with one of Alphawave Semi’s 112G SerDes solutions.

10G-800G_ZX

It supports any legal combination of Ethernet/FiberChannel/FlexO rate up to 800G. This Core supports with bonded 2 x 400G PCS and a single 800G MAC.

10G-400G_ZX

It supports any legal combination of Ethernet/FiberChannel/FlexO rate up to 400G.

10G-100G_ZX

It supports tributaries at 10G, 25G, 40G, 50G in combinations up to 100GE.
