QSFP+TRANSMITTER-CONTROLLER CHIPSET REDUCES POWER CONSUMPTION

摘要

Data centers are gradually adding 40-Gbit/s capability as their 10-Gbit/s traffic increases and their aggregation needs expand. However, power consumption is inhibiting that growth.The MAX3948 laser driver-controller chip­set from Maxim Integrated, though, provides four lanes of 11.3-Gbit/s laser driver capa-bility to boost data handling speed while holding the line on power consumption.
