DesignCon 2019: eSilicon to demonstrate 7nm 56G DSP SerDes over 5-meter Samtec cable assembly

January 23, 2019 -- eSilicon, a leading provider of FinFET-class ASICs, market-specific IP platforms and advanced 2.5D packaging solutions, will team up with Samtec to demonstrate eSilicon’s 7nm 56G full-DSP SerDes over Samtec’s 5m ExaMAX® Backplane Cable Assembly.

eSilicon will also participate in Test Fixture Signal Integrity for 112G PAM-4: Lively Panel Discussion on the Top Design Rules.

SerDes Demonstrations: Samtec Booth 737
Wednesday-Thursday
January 30-31, 2019

Using Samtec ExaMAX Backplane Connector paddle cards and a 5m ExaMAX Backplane Cable Assembly, eSilicon will demonstrate the performance, flexibility and extremely low power consumption of its 7nm, 56G PAM4 and NRZ DSP-based long-reach SerDes.

Forward error correction (FEC)-free operation will be showcased across multiple channels, operation frequencies and modulation schemes, thanks to a very powerful and programmable real-time DSP-based equalization capability. Bit-error rate, eye diagram monitors and pulse response processing will be shown among many other capabilities.

Panel Discussion:
