Expanding the TeraSignal TSLink TM Portfolio with Low-Power, Low-Latency PCIe 6.0 Re-Drivers for Optical Interconnects in AI and Compute Infrastructure
SAN FRANCISCO, April 1, 2025 – OFC 2025 – TeraSignal, a leader in intelligent interconnect technology, will showcase its new PCIe 6.0 over optics Intelligent Re-Driver solutions with Synopsys silicon-proven PCIe 6.x IP solution at OFC 2025. Designed to meet the rigorous connectivity demands of AI accelerators, GPUs, and CPUs, these innovative solutions deliver low-power, low-latency performance critical for next-generation AI and compute infrastructure. Industry’s demand for such solutions is reflected by recent standard activities, including PCIe-SIG’s discussions on “Retimer-Less PCIe Optical”, upcoming PCIe 7.0 specification release, as well as OIF new EEI: “Compute Optics Interface (COI)” project. TeraSignal is a member of both PCI-SIGÓ and OIF organizations.
AI Infrastructure players will benefit from combining the best of bread optical interconnect solutions with TeraSignal smart redriver EIC. The next generation AI Scale-up compute infrastructure require multi-tera bandwidth connectivity while maintaining low-latency, low-power, and high reliability over a range of target use cases. These use cases encompass Compute-Compute, Compute-Memory, and Compute-IO interconnects.
The TS5602 Intelligent Re-Driver, supports 4x64Gb/s PCIe connectivity and is available in a compact 7.25mm x 5.25mm FCLGA package as well as a flip chip bumped die. Key features include:
- Over 50% power reduction compared to DSP-based retimers.
- Low latency through DSP-free architecture.
- Digital eye monitoring for real-time BER visibility on every link.
- Automatic link training powered by TSLink software for streamlined setup.
These Intelligent Re-Drivers are versatile for deployment across optical cables for emerging multi-rack server architectures.
