Featured Products:

  • Nova 2: The industry's first 1.6T optical DSP featuring 200G per lane electrical and optical I/O, Marvell® Nova 2 enables module integrators to produce industry-standard optical transceivers delivering the bandwidth density required by switches, AI accelerators and other devices. 200 Gbps per lane I/O is a defining feature of next-generation data center architectures.

    Nova 1, a 1.6T optical DSP featuring 100G per lane electrical I/O and 200G per lane optical interfaces.

  • Marvell 3D Silicon Photonics Engine: The Marvell 3D SiPho Engine combines hundreds of components needed for optical communications into a single device. Featuring 200G I/O, 3D SiPho Engine delivers 2x the bandwidth, 2x the input/output (I/O) bandwidth density, and 30% lower power per bit versus comparable devices with 100 Gbps electrical and optical interfaces1. Potential applications include modules for AI clusters.

  • Spica Gen2-T: A new category of optical DSPs, Spica Gen2-T is designed for transmit retimed optical (TRO) modules, an emerging class of modules for AI and cloud use cases. Transmit-only DSPs enable TROs to reduce power consumption by more than 40% compared to conventional transceivers2. Spica Gen2-T is the fourth 800 Gbps optical DSP from Marvell and part of its effort to optimize optical DSPs, along with other cloud and AI silicon, for specific use cases and applications.

  • COLORZ® 800: First Demo of Probabilistic Constellation Shaping at 800 Gbps and Industry Momentum. Probabilistic Constellation Shaping (PCS) effectively doubles the reach of coherent DSP modules employed for long-distance communications. 

  • O-band Optics: At higher bandwidths, O-band optics can potentially cover greater lengths than PAM4 DSPs while consuming less power than today's coherent DSPs. 

  • Orion with InnoLight and HGGenuine: new 800G ZR/ZR+ modules powered by Orion for data center interconnects, IP over DWDM, and other use cases.
