Credo has developed 50G SerDes IP based on NRZ modulation, as well as the delivery of the industry’s first 25G and 50G SerDes IP in the 16nm FF+ manufacturing process from TSMC.
Typical applications for Credo’s IP is in next-generation switches and routers.
Credo said it intends to add to its existing 25G and 50G SerDes IP, moving to higher speeds and introducing new versions based on PAM-4 modulation.
