More on Alphawave Semi’s PCIe Portfolio: Alphawave Semi’s PCI-Express and CXL Solution

The Alphawave Semi PCIe Controller + PHY subsystem is an extremely power-efficient, low-latency, and highly reliable interface IP, having been built off the industry’s most successful PAM4 SerDes IP. It is available on the most advanced technology nodes. In AI and high-performance computing (HPC) systems where memory performance is key, the Alphawave Semi PCIe 6.0 Subsystem can be expanded to support CXL 3.0 with a PCIe and CXL Controller and enable memory coherency at the data center level.

InnoLight offers a wide range of low power, low latency 400G, 800G, and 1.6T LPO solutions for AI workloads at data center scale, with a silicon photonics platform, with expected capabilities to support PCIe Gen 6 and beyond optical connectivity. InnoLight is also a founding member of LPO-MSA (www.lpo-msa.org), and is actively working with the industry ecosystem to promote wide adoption of LPO solutions for AI networking and computing applications.
