    Inphi 400GbE PAM4 Platform

    March 3, 2017
    Inphi has introduced what it describes as the industry's first 400GbE platform solution for next-generation 400G CFP8 modules. The platform includes Inphi's highly integrated, lowest power 4-level Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM4) digital signal processing (DSP) IC that supports the IEEE P802.3bs 400 Gigabit Ethernet standard alongside its companion linear TIAs and linear drivers for client-based cloud interconnects.
