How Long Will CAN Stick Around As Rival Networks Speed Up?
By Liz Allan - 29 Apr, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways Automotive Ethernet is rapidly becoming the backbone of software-defined vehicles for higher bandwidth, scalability, and advanced features like TSN and security that legacy protocols cannot match. CAN, LIN, and other legacy networks will not disappear quickly because they are deeply embedded, low‑cost, and proven, but they are increasingly seen as inadequate for future A... » read more

Auto Ethernet 10BASE-T1S Steps Up, With Tbps On The Horizon
By Liz Allan - 23 Mar, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways: Automotive Ethernet, particularly 10BASE-T1S, is emerging as a replacement for CAN in vehicle networks, with higher speeds anticipated for future autonomous and connected cars. The transition to Ethernet in automotive domains is not universal; some OEMs may retain CAN or LIN in certain areas due to cost, and integrating various Ethernet standards can be technically feasib... » read more

Achieving Reliable 2m+ DAC Connectivity For AI Scale Networks With 224G PHY IP
By Abhinav Kothiala - 16 Oct, 2025 - Comments: 0

As artificial intelligence workloads and hyperscale data centers continue to evolve, the requirements for networking infrastructure are becoming increasingly stringent. High-speed, reliable connectivity is essential to support the massive data flow and low-latency demands of AI-scale environments. Passive direct attach copper (DACs) remains an attractive choice for hyperscalers and system vendo... » read more

Developing Next-Generation Integrated Optical Engines
By Susan Coleman - 16 Oct, 2025 - Comments: 0

By Susan Coleman and Emily Gerken Data demand is soaring worldwide as high-resolution video streaming, virtual reality, the Internet of Things (IoT), high-performance computing (HPC), and artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) drive an insatiable appetite for data. As a result, networks and data centers face increasing pressure to expand bandwidth, reduce latency, and lower pow... » read more

System-Level Design For 1.6 Tbps Interoperability In AI Data Centers
By Madhumita Sanyal - 14 Aug, 2025 - Comments: 0

By Madhumita Sanyal and Diwakar Kumaraswamy The rapid escalation of AI/ML workloads—driven by increasingly large language models—is reshaping high-performance computing and AI data center architectures. Real-time inference and large-scale training are pushing the limits of compute and interconnect performance. With model sizes and parameter counts doubling every 4–6 months, infrastruct... » read more

Optimizing Data Movement
By Ann Mutschler - 29 May, 2025 - Comments: 1

Demand for new and better AI models is creating an insatiable demand for more processing power and much better data throughput, but it's also creating a slew of new challenges for which there are not always good solutions. The key here is figuring out where bottlenecks might crop up in complex chips and advanced packages. This involves a clear understanding of how much bandwidth is required ... » read more

Optical Interconnectivity At 224 Gbps
By Ed Sperling - 28 May, 2025 - Comments: 0

AI is generating so much traffic that traditional copper-based approaches for moving data inside a chip, between chips, and between systems, are running out of steam. Just adding more channels is no longer viable. It requires more power to drive signals, and the distance those signals can travel without excessive loss is shrinking. Mike Klempa, product marketing specialist at Alphawave Semi, di... » read more

What Is Electronic Design Automation And Why Do You Need It?
By Roberto Piacentini Filho - 24 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

As data speeds push into the multi-gigabit range and requirements on digital systems grow more complex, cutting down the time-to-market while also ensuring error-free reliable designs seems impossible. Traditional design tools and practices can result in failed prototypes, costly respins, delayed time-to-market, missed market opportunities, and subpar performance. This is why advanced EDA to... » read more

What’s Changing In SerDes
By Ed Sperling - 16 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

SerDes is all about pushing data through the smallest number of physical channels. But when it comes to AI, more data needs to be moved, and it has to be moved more quickly. Todd Bermensolo, product marketing manager at Alphawave Semi, talks about the impact of faster data movement on the transmitter (more power) and on the receiver (gain and advanced equalization), how to ensure signal inte... » read more

PCIe Over Optical: Transforming High-Speed Data Transmission
By David Kulansky - 29 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

With the rise in AI requiring new computing models and enhanced data transmission methods to cope, the necessity for innovative, high-performance, and low-latency connectivity solutions has never been more apparent. PCIe over Optical is set to play a key role in enabling the growth of AI, and here we examine some of the intricacies of PCIe over Optical to explore its implementation, challenges,... » read more
