Alphawave Semi at OFC 2025

Celebrating OFC's 50th anniversary, Alphawave Semi will demonstrate a broad array of advanced data connectivity solutions for AI, compute and network architectures and engage in technical speaking sessions and collaborative technology demonstrations with partners.

Alphawave Semi will showcase groundbreaking innovations through the following live demonstrations:

• 224G PAM4 Electrical SerDes:
  • 224G XLR IP subsystem solutions unlocking the next generation in connectivity
• 1.6T I/O Chiplets:
  • Chiplet technologies that are silicon ready, with solutions for PCle and Ethernet linking up in the multi-vendor interoperability demonstration at 112G
• UCIe D2D IP Subsystem:
  • Delivering ultra-high speeds in silicon proven advanced packaging to enable optical I/O chiplet designs across many package types. It also supports silicon proven standard organic packaging
  • Paving the way to 64G: UCIe: Discover how our Gen3 64 Gbps UCIe IP delivers high-speed connectivity with a bandwidth density exceeding 20 Tbps/mm, all while maintaining ultra-low power usage and minimal latency
• Optical PCIe Subsystem:
  • Interoperability over optics with a Test & Measurement Golden Reference Link Partner

Alphawave Semi’s full portfolio of standard connectivity products is facilitating high-speed communications over electrical and optical connections across distances of up to 20km. The announcement that came last week emphasises how it leverages Alphawave Semi’s cutting-edge PAM4 SerDes, along with its differentiated WidEye DSP architecture and EyeQ advanced diagnostics technology, to meet the needs of leading hyperscalers and their buildout of accelerated AI compute infrastructure.

• Cu-WavePAM4 DSP for Active Electrical Cables (AEC)
• O-WavePAM4 DSP for Optical Retimer and Gearbox Transceivers
• Co-Wave Coherent-Lite DSP for Optical Transceiver

Collaborations in die-to-die connectivity are paving the way for 64G UCIe, and a future of optical chiplets built on Alphawave Semi’s IP will also be found in partner booths of Ayar Labs, Keysight Technologies, and the UCIe Consortium Kiosk. Low latency, robust PCIe connectivity solutions will also be found in partner booths of Luxshare, MACOM, and Terahop.

Alphawave Semi will be involved in panels on optical communications and chiplets. Tony Chan Carusone will present 'Unleashing AI's Potential with Advanced Chiplet Solutions' on 3rd April from 9:15 AM to 9:45 AM at Theater II.
