Ghana SFP optical module PAM4
In this paper, an SFP56 packaged optical module based on PAM4 modulation is designed, and the optical module realizes short-distance transmission at 64 Gbps through a DSP chip. Marvell leads the pluggable module ecosystem with low-power, high-performance silicon for AI, cloud, enterprise and 5G. Nowadays, a transceiver with the same physical dimensions as the SFP form factor can achieve a 50G data rate, thanks to the PAM4 technology and enhanced form factor known by the abbreviation SFP56. We have already heard about 200G, 400G, 800G, and maybe even thinking about higher data rates, so why. The initial Open Eye MSA specification will focus on 53Gbps per lane PAM-4 solutions for 50G SFP, 100G DSFP, 200G QSFP, and 400G QSFP-DD, and OSFP single mode modules. We provide an industrial-grade reference framework, complying with the latest MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) updates, including SFF-8679 Rev 1. The purpose of this module design is to improve the bandwidth density and energy efficiency of the interconnections within.
