*By applying ZERO EYE SKEW(TM) technology, it has been shown that skew in the eye pattern opening is adjusted appropriately, maintaining excellent signal quality. (Both are eye patterns after applying 5-tap feed forward equalizer (FFE).)

THine has developed the new technology ZERO EYE SKEW^TM for PCI Express 6.0 (PCIe6.0) and PCIe7.0 high-speed short reach multimode applications with vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL). VCSEL driver products with this ZERO EYE SKEW^TM can achieve high bandwidth toward 2.0TB/s in multi-channel and low-cost optical solutions.

“Increase of using generative artificial intelligence accelerate the more need for optical compute interconnect in data centers and it has great significance that at this time THine has establish ZERO EYE SKEW^TM technology that can achieve lower power, lower latency, high bandwidth of 2TB/s in PCIe7, and lower cost simultaneously, expanding possibilities in optical interconnect,” said Yasuhiro Takada, Chief Strategy Officer of THine Electronics, Inc. “THine would like to contribute to provide solutions in optical compute interconnect through discussion and exchanging information including the roadmap toward PCIe7 in OFC, collaborating with various partners.”
