SerDes core features 30Gb/s performance

According to the asic specialist, the devices can be easily integrated due to their multirate architecture. The company adds that it is able to integrate up to 400 SerDes channels or over 190million gates on a single asic with transistor counts in excess of 4billion. "Avago customers have been well pleased by our ability to deliver first time right asic silicon, which played a big part in surpassing 150million SerDes cores shipped," said Frank Ostojic, vice president and general manager of the ASIC Products Division at Avago. "We have repeatedly set new industry standards for performance benchmarks with our SerDes cores to help data centre equipment OEMs keep up with bandwidth demands." Avago will demonstrate the device at DesignCon 2011, Santa Clara, California from February 1-2.
