CLARIPHY COMMUNICATIONS TO PARTICIPATE IN
THE 2008 INTERNATIONAL
SOLID STATE
Dr. Norm Swenson, Chief Technology Officer
and Co-Founder and Dr. Oscar Agazzi, Vice President and Chief Systems Architect
to Provide Technical Presentations Focused on Optical Communications
IRVINE, Calif., January 31, 2008 – ClariPhy Communications, Inc., a fabless semiconductor
company specializing in high speed communications ICs, today announced that Dr.
Norm Swenson, chief technology officer and co-founder, and Dr.
In a conference session on optical communications, Dr. Agazzi will present a peer-reviewed paper entitled “A 90nm CMOS DSP MLSD Transceiver with Integrated AFE for Electronic Dispersion Compensation of Multi-mode Optical Fibers at 10Gb/s.” This paper describes ClariPhy’s 10GBASE-LRM transceiver IC, available since February 2007. This IC is the only MLSD (maximum likelihood sequence detection) based product available for 10GBASE-LRM and the only monolithic 10Gb/s MLSD IC. This presentation is scheduled for Tuesday, February 5th at 11:15 am.
At a special topic evening session entitled
“Trends and Challenges in Optical Communications Front-End,” Dr. Swenson will give
an invited presentation on the transition of 10Gb/s Electronic Dispersion
Compensation (EDC) from analog to DSP-based CMOS solutions. He will focus on the challenges of that
transition, the enabling technologies that meet those challenges, and the
benefits thereby achieved. This presentation is scheduled for Tuesday, February
5th at 8:20 pm.
Additionally, in a design forum focusing on the future of high speed transceivers, Dr. Agazzi will provide an invited tutorial entitled “DSP-Based Optical Transceivers for Electronic Dispersion Compensation of Single-Mode and Multimode Fibers.” This presentation is scheduled for Thursday, February 7th at 3:00 pm.
The annual ISSCC, hosted by the IEEE Solid-State Circuit Society, is attended by industry experts and engineers working at the cutting edge of IC design and application. For more information about ISSCC, please visit www.isscc.org/isscc/.
