Intuthuko emkhakheni we-hybrid electronics, ehlanganisa ubuchwepheshe bendabuko kanye ne-optical, sekunesikhathi eside iqhubeka. Ngakho-ke, i-Ayar Labs yokuqala kanye nentuthuko yayo yaziwa . Manje inkampani isilungele ukukhipha umkhiqizo we-serial, okuyilokho ebikhuluma ngakho .
Imizamo zigxile ekudaleni isistimu ye-optical interconnect esikhundleni sobuchwepheshe bamanje be-SerDes. Umkhiqizo wokuqala osemthethweni wale nkampani kwakuyi-chipset ye-Terabit PHY, noma i-TeraPHY ngamafuphi.
I-chiplet isebenzisa ubuchwepheshe benqubo ye-45nm RF SOI futhi inendawo engaphansi kuka-50mm2. I-TeraPHY ixhumana nezinye izingxenye zephakeji ngamashaneli e-AIB angama-24 - umkhawulo ophezulu wokusebenza ngu-960 Gt/s (gigatransfer ngomzuzwana). Ukuguqulwa kwe-electron-optical kwenziwa ama-waveguides akhethekile ngohlelo lwe-ring resonators. Kunezingu-10 zazo ku-chiplet, ingqikithi yokuphuma ifinyelela ku-2,56 Tbit/s.
I-laser yethu ye-SuperNova isetshenziswa njengomthombo wangaphandle wemisebe. Enguqulweni yayo yamanje, iSuperNova isekela amaza amaza afika ku-16 kanye namashaneli afinyelela kwangu-256 anenani eliphelele le-8,192 Tbps.
Ngenkathi sikhuluma ngama-prototypes, amasampula akhona we-Stratix 10 anama-chiplets amasha ebhodini ayasebenza impela. Ukusebenzisa i-TeraPHY kuzothuthukisa ukusebenza kahle kwamandla ngokwandisa amandla okusebenza kuyilapho kugcinwa ukusetshenziswa kwamandla okufanayo.
Ubuchwepheshe bunekusasa eliqhakazile, njengoba sekuvele kukhona amasampula ama-laser anamaza angama-32 futhi ukuthuthukiswa okusebenzayo kwe-laser kusetshenziswa amaza angama-64 kuyaqhubeka. I-Ayar Labs imemezele izinhlelo zayo emuva ku-SC19, futhi uhlelo lwayo lokuhlinzeka ngamasampula kozakwethu luzoqala ekuqaleni kwekota yokuqala yalo nyaka.
