Spectra7 and Teledyne LeCroy to Demonstrate Robust Performance Testing of 800Gbps Active Copper Interconnects at DesignCon
Demo to Highlight Spectra7’s GC1122 and Teledyne LeCroy’s Xena Z800 Freya 800GE Test System
January 31st, 2024 SAN JOSE, CA - (PR NewsWire) – (TSXV:SEV) (OTCQB:SPVNF) Spectra7 Microsystems Inc. (“Spectra7” or the “Company”), a leading provider of high-performance analog semiconductor products for broadband connectivity markets, and Teledyne LeCroy, a leading provider of electronic design, test and software solutions, announced they will demonstrate their latest 800Gbps product offerings at this year’s annual DesignCon Conference Exhibition in Santa Clara, California from Jan 31-Feb 1, 2024. The companies plan to demonstrate robust performance and testing of 800Gbps Active Copper Cable (ACC) products for hyperscale data center applications.
The demo will highlight Spectra7’s ACCs successfully interoperating with the Teledyne LeCroy’s Xena Z800 800GE QSFP-DD800 Test System at 800Gbps speeds. Link training will show a very robust low pre-FEC bit error rate (BER) which demonstrates a wide margin over standard required BER.
DesignCon is the premier high-speed interconnect and system design conference attended by engineers from around the world. The Spectra7 will be on exhibit in booth #1344.
“We are excited to be working with Spectra7 on showcasing Active Copper Cable options for the rapidly expanding data center interconnect market,” said Claus Hoyer, VP Technology and Architecture at XENA/Teledyne LeCroy. “Spectra7 has created a compelling solution to address the dramatically increasing power and cost of data center interconnects.”
“Teledyne LeCroy is a global leader in the test and measurement solutions market," said Spectra7 CEO Raouf Halim. "The collaboration with them and demonstration of our GaugeChangerTM technology is a significant milestone in the coming volume deployment of our data center product line."
Spectra7’s analog based GaugeChangerTM GC1122 chips are used in ACCs and offer significant cost, size, and energy consumption value versus competing Active Electrical Cables (AECs) and Active Optical Cables (AOCs) that use Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technologies.
