A first live demonstration of Alphawave Semi’s silicon platform with 112G Ethernet and PCIe 6.0 IP on the TSMC 3nm process will be presented at the TSMC North America Symposium in Santa Clara, CA on April 26, 2023.
The 3nm process platform is critical to the development of a new generation of advanced chips needed to address the exponential growth of AI-generated data, enabling higher performance, better memory and I/O bandwidth, and reduced energy consumption. ZeusCORE XLR Multi-Standard-Serdes (MSS) IP is the highest performing SerDes in the Alphawave Semi product portfolio and the 3nm process will pave the way for the development of future high-performance AI systems. It is a highly configurable IP that supports all NRZ and PAM4 1112Gbps data center edge standards, supporting various protocols such as PCIe Gen1 to Gen6 and 1G/10G/25G/50G/100Gbps Ethernet.
This flexible and customizable IP connectivity solution, together with Alphawave Semi’s custom chiplet-enabled silicon platform, which includes IO, memory and compute chiplets, enables end users to produce high-performance silicon specifically tailored to their applications. Customers can benefit from Alphawave Semi’s application-optimized IP subsystems and advanced 2.5D/3D packaging expertise to integrate advanced interfaces such as Compute Express Link (CXL™), Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express™ (UCIe™) , High Bandwidth Memory (HBMx) and Low Power Dual Data Rate DRAM (LP/DDRx/) on custom chips and chiplets.
“We are excited to be one of the first companies to successfully demonstrate our highest performance silicon platform featuring our 112G XLR Ethernet and PCIE6.0 SerDes IP on TSMC’s most advanced 3nm technology,” said Tony Pialis, CEO and co-founder of TSMC. Alphawave Semi. “This represents a significant step in our execution of Alphawave Semi’s strategy to be a leader in vertically integrated semiconductors in high-speed connectivity. Thanks to our rapidly growing partnership with TSMC through the Open Innovation Platform® (OIP), we continue to deliver custom, innovative and high-performance silicon and IP solutions to our customers in data center, compute, networking, AI, 5G, autonomous vehicle and storage applications.”
“Alphawave Semi continues to see a growing demand from our hyperscaling customers for specific silicon with high-speed connectivity interfaces, driven by an exponential increase in AI-generated data processing,” said Mohit Gupta, senior vice president and general manager of custom silicon and IP on Alphawave Semi. “We are engaging our leading customers in chiplet-enabled 3nm custom silicon platforms that include I/O, memory and compute chiplets. Our Virtual Channel Aggregator (VCA) partnership with TSMC has provided invaluable support, and we look forward to accelerating our customers’ high-performance designs on TSMC’s 3nm process.”
