‘Zero Eye Skew’ demonstration planned for PCIe7
Fabless mixed-signal chip company Thine Electronics Inc. (Tokyo, Japan) has announced an optical technology for use with linear pluggable optical interconnect.
The technology is called ‘Zero Eye Skew’ and is applicable to 1Tbyte/s and 2Tbyte/s connections. It is due to be demonstrated at the Optical Fiber Communications Conference and Exhibition (OFC) at Moscone Center Exhibition Hall in San Francisco, California coming up April 1 through 3.
Zero Eye Skew is used for PCI Express 6.0 (PCIe6.0) and PCIe7.0 short reach multimode applications with vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL). The technology can achieve lower power, lower latency, high bandwidth of 2Tbytes/s in PCIe and lower cost, the company claims.
“Thine would like to contribute to provide solutions in optical compute interconnect through discussion and exchanging information including the roadmap toward PCIe7 in OFC, collaborating with various partners.” Yasuhiro Takada, chief strategy officer of Thine, in a statement.
