Data Center Optical Communications Wired Networking Data Center Optical CommunicationsOptical communication uses light, rather than electrical signals, to carry information across fiber optics networks. The unprecedented growth in the flow of data crossing these networks is stressing them like never before. Optical communications solutions from GlobalFoundries® enable more data to enter and exit these networks, resulting in dramatic capacity increases.#data-center-optical-communications 90WG & 90WG+Data center optical transceivers using 90WG and 90WG+ silicon photonicsSilicon photonics (SiPh) uses optical I/O for rapid transmission of data to supercharge data center fiber optic networks while minimizing signal loss and degradation. GlobalFoundrieshelps designers harness the power of light for 100G+ optical transceiver applications with 90WG and 90WG+ SiPh semiconductor solutions.These solutions enable you to integrate RF, digital elements and silicon photonics circuits on the same chip and benefit from the scale, efficiencies and process controls of 300 mm silicon manufacturing. Leverage high volume manufacturingHigh-volume 300 mm CMOS manufacturing offers supply assurance and enables you to take advantage of advanced processing and controls for mainstream photonic integrated circuit (PIC) deployment in hyper-scale data center interconnects. Maximize performance, in less spaceThe monolithic integration capabilities of GF’s 90WG and 90WG+ solutions offer power, area and performance advantages for cost-effective designs that deliver more data per watt per fiber per laser. Boost bandwidth90WG and 90WG+ are optimized to help you meet high-speed (100G and beyond) optical connectivity demands by offering a 40 GHz germanium photodiode paired with 25 Gbaud and 50 Gbaud Mach-Zehnder modulators, respectively. Featured Resource Data center optical transceivers using 90WG and 90WG+ SiPh SiGe 9HP & 8XPData center TIAs and drivers using SiGe 9HP and 8XPCurrent and emerging performance-driven data center applications require low power/ high-frequency transimpedance (TIA) and linear driver performance.
