ClariPhy Announces MLSE-Based CDR for Line Cards with 10Gb/s Tunable XFP+ Modules
IRVINE, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - ClariPhy Communications, Inc., a fabless semiconductor company specializing in high speed communications ICs, today announced shipment of its CL1012 clock and data recovery (CDR) IC with maximum likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE) into line cards with Tunable XFP and XFP+ modules for 10 Gb/s optical networking. As video and other consumer applications dramatically increase the demand for bandwidth in telecommunications networks, equipment vendors are responding with higher density, higher performing DWDM platforms. The transition from 300 pin to tunable XFP optical modules more than doubles port density, while the incorporation of MLSE-based electronic dispersion compensation (EDC) on the line card significantly increases reach and tolerance to impairments while reducing network costs.
