Si-Fly® HD 224 Gbps PAM4, Co-Packaged & Near Chip Systems

Si-Fly® HD 224 Gbps PAM4, Co-Packaged & Near Chip Systems

Si-Fly® HD co-packaged and near-chip systems provide the highest density 224 Gbps PAM4 solution in today's market. Electrically pluggable co-packaged copper and optics solutions (known as CPX) are achievable on a 95 mm x 95 mm or smaller substrate using Samtec's SFCM connector. The SFCM mounts directly to the package substrate and is pluggable with Samtec's SFCC cable assembly or an optical cable assembly of your choosing (contact HDR@samtec.com for more details).

Features
  • High-density mezzanine arrays feature 64 differential pairs per square inch

  • Mezzanine arrays route an extremely high number of transmission lines from one PCB to the next

  • Surface mount reflow technology to the PCB

  • High-density 224 Gbps PAM4 co-packaged and near-chip (ASIC adjacent) cable systems

  • PCIe® 7.0 capable

  • CPX: electrically pluggable co-packaged copper & co-packaged optic high-density, high-performance interconnects on a 95 mm x 95 mm or smaller substrate (SFCM, SFCC, Optics)

  • Co-packaged CPX offers the lowest loss signal transmission from the package to the front panel or backplane while providing the highest density (use copper for short distances/scale up, optics for extended reach/scale out)

  • Eye Speed® Hyper Low Skew Twinax cable technology supports 224G signaling with an industry leading 1.75 ps/m max intra-pair skew

  • Placement of Flyover® cable solutions on, or near, the chip package improves transmission line density and extends signal reach in high-performance applications
