Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM) launched 40G transmitter chipset, increased by 4 times the data throughput of the data center, and maintain a very low power consumption of the device, the space occupied by only slightly more than the traditional single-channel . The latest 4-channel 40GBASE-LR4 QSFP + chipset MAX3948 DC-coupled laser driver, and DS4830 photoelectric microcontroller.

Data centers and data communications network, while significantly improved data density, still need to maintain the low-power characteristics. Maxim QSFP + transmitter program simultaneously deal with these two challenges: QSFP + module data throughput increased by four times the space occupied only 1.5 times the single-channel SFP + program; Maxim chipset achieve the 4 x 10Gbps QSFP + module , the power consumption of each channel are lower than a single SFP + modules. The low-power program for service providers and network operators bring many advantages: the system longer working hours, lower operating costs, and save valuable energy.

MAX3948 main advantage

· 4 transmit channels total power consumption of less than 2W, the QSFP + module power consumption to less than 3.5W.

· DC-coupled laser interface (patent pending Application No. 13/352, 011) to reduce power consumption, reducing the number of external components.

DS4830 main advantage

· Chip 13-bit ADC with dedicated cycle mechanisms to reduce the load of 16-bit microcontroller core lower clock rate; lower power consumption than competing solutions 75mW to 100mW.

· Single-cycle multiply-accumulate (MAC) allows the DS4830 to quickly and to perform filtering calculated easily support four average power control (APC) loop.

Industry Rating:

· "Power consumption has become the most important factor restricting the data center power consumption indicators limit the power density and performance, thereby affecting the cost of Maxim's innovative solutions to solve this, Karen Liu, principal analyst at Ovum, said: key issues. "

· "MAX3948 DS4830 embodied Maxim's integrated innovation advantage, the chipset is connected to the DC-coupled laser data center interconnect power density limit, senior business manager of Maxim Integrated Products, Dr. Andrew Sharratt said:" The transmitter The program is able to meet all the needs of QSFP +, and has the lowest power consumption ".

To be able to get enough 28nm chips in order to submit to the Samsung, TSMC and UMC, Qualcomm once again the 28 chip orders to another foundry giant Globalfoundries companies.
Earlier this year, Qualcomm announced that TSMC's unable to meet their supply needs of the 28nm chips, the company plans to part of the order by the other companies, OEM, in order to obtain enough of the latest the Snapdragon S4 series processors. Taiwan's Commercial Times previously reported that the UMC, UMC has been mass production of high-pass 28nm Snapdragon S4 chip orders in the last quarter of 2012. Earlier this year, there were rumors that Qualcomm, NVIDIA has been identified as another to consider other foundry, TSMC customers.
According to the Commercial Times reported, Globalfoundries also part of the 28nm chips from Qualcomm OEM orders. So in theory, Qualcomm will also Globalfoundries and Samsung 28nm LPH technology to produce chips with an industry alliance, because the two companies belong to the same high-pass will be interested in the same time with two companies to cooperate.
In fact, GLOBALFOUNDRIES has Qualcomm entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding to carry out leading-edge technology cooperation. GLOBALFOUNDRIES as early as January 2010, issued a press release said the company intends to provide 45nm LP and 28nm LP chip foundry technology, and future advanced process nodes and high-pass high-pass.
In addition, the IC design company Socle has revealed that the company has developed and pilot production of its first ARM Cortex-A9 28nm chip foundry is GLOBALFOUNDRIES 'manufacturing process is 28nm SLP combined with HKMG technology. The product will soon be mass at GLOBALFOUNDRIES. The Socle formerly a subsidiary of Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing, Socle is close with Globalfoundries cooperation.
