EXTOLL, a leading provider of high-speed and ultra-low-power SerDes and Chiplet connectivity, has been selected by BeammWave, an innovation leader in mmWave 5G/6G digital beamforming, as a key SerDes IP supplier for its next gen communication ASIC development portfolio on GlobalFoundries’ (GF) 22nm FD-SOI process technology, 22FDX®.
“This collaboration emphasizes EXTOLL´s strength in ultra-low power design, particularly on GF’s 22FDX process geometry enabling future communication innovations. We are happy and honored to jointly work with BeammWave on creating solutions for breakthrough digital beamforming technology,” says Dirk Wieberneit, CEO of EXTOLL.
EXTOLL´s IP is optimized to deliver highest speeds at smallest footprint and lowest power consumption, enabling a super energy-efficient solution for chiplet-based systems and providing a unique solution for the rising demand on multiple lanes connections. The complete SerDes IP core supports line speeds up to 32 Gbps per lane and comes with generic support of various protocols and available on GF’s 22FDX, 12LP and 12LP+ platforms.
GF’s 22FDX process technology offers superior RF/Mixed-Signal performance, power efficiency, SoC integration and radiation-hardened reliability for technologies in the communications infrastructure and SATCOM markets. 22FDX is the only fully depleted SOI solution that combines high-performance RF capabilities with high-speed, high-density digital logic, ensuring efficient and reliable connectivity for various applications like beamforming, which demand both power efficiency and high-speed connectivity.
“We are thrilled to partner with EXTOLL on their industry leading Very Short Reach SerDes technology in 22nm,“ said Per-Olof Brandt, Chief Technology Officer at BeammWave. “Extoll is continuing to innovate on this important process node for us, enabling a unique solution for best-in-class power and performance that our customers need. This makes them a perfect fit for BeammWave´s ambitious mmWave products for 5G and 6G.”
“As we see an increasing market demand for our 22FDX process technology in various beamforming applications, we are delighted to see our IP partner EXTOLL continuing to innovate on this node, enabling next-generation chiplet solutions based on their ultra-low power interconnect technologies,” said Ziv Hammer, Senior Vice President of Design Platforms and Services at GlobalFoundries. “GF remains fully committed to working with our partners and customers to deliver solutions for essential technologies that support global connectivity.”
