Product Description
Broadcom 7-nm 800GbE PAM-4 PHY (8:8) Direct Drive - BCM87802
The Broadcom BCM8780X series of devices are the industry’s highest performance and lowest power single-chip 800GbE PAM-4 PHY transceiver platform capable of driving eight lanes of 112-Gb/s PAM-4 at 56 Gbaud, while supporting DR8/2xFR4 optical links. In 800GbE mode, the BCM87802 drives eight lanes of 106 Gb/s (at 53-Gbaud PAM-4) from the system side to eight lanes of 106 Gb/s (at 53-Gbaud PAM-4) with direct- drive capability for EML and silicon photonics.
The BCM87802 leverages Broadcom’s market-leading 7-nm PAM-4 PHY transceiver technology platform already proven with the BCM8740X PHY, and it provides a path to accelerating 800G QSFP-DD/OSFP optical module availability. Broadcom’s advanced DSP technology and equalization techniques compensate for optical impairments while maintaining the world’s lowest power to enable the deployment of 25.6 Tb/s and higher- density switch ASICs inside pluggable optical modules and co-packaged optical solutions.
