Synopsys Webinar – Part II

In this 3-part Synopsys webinar series, we will present how hyperscale data centers are going through a paradigm shift with the advent of technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and edge compute requiring hyperscale data centers to support exponential growth of data volume.  This volume of network traffic demands an increase in bandwidth to 400G, which is now enabled by 112G Ethernet as the interconnect of choice, with next generation architectures being designed to operate at 224Gbps supporting upcoming 800G/1.6T switches inside datacenters.  These data rates pose extreme challenges on the entire transceiver.  Attend this webinar series to find out about the challenges posed on the transmitter and a discussion on various techniques used in the different blocks to overcome the challenges of data transmission at 100s of Gbps.
