3 Inphi Highlights Solutions for data center and cloud infrastructure High-speed mixed signal semiconductors Strong customer and partner ecosystem Fabless business model for CMOS, III-V, SiGe Founded November 2000, IPO November 2010, traded on NYSE Headquarters in Santa Clara, Calif., 3 design centers Annual Revenue $M $83 $79 $59 $43 $36 $ employees worldwide, 70%+ engineering $7 $

4 Data Center L1 Interconnects: From Fiber to Memory TM Optics to Network Network to CPU CPU to Memory Amplifier CDR Buffer Optical Fiber Driver SerDes Register RDIMM LRDIMM Memory High-Speed Data Transport and Signal Integrity 4

5 Growth of the Mega-Scale Cloud Data Center Higher Percentage SM Fiber Source: Cisco Systems Source: Facebook 5

6 Data Center Fabrics Require Scale and Bandwidth Source: Cisco Systems 40G => 100G 40 => 100G 10G => 40G 1G => 10G 3-Tier Architecture FAT Tree (Leaf-Spine) Source : LNS 6

7 Open Software & SDN - Catalyst for 100G Cloud is an early adopter and driver of Software Defined Networking (SDN) Increased network utilization and flexibility should result in quicker adoption of higher-speed networking technologies (i.e., 100GbE) SDN + Fabrics philosophy of abstracting control and management plane and having a very-high speed fabric (i.e., 100GbE) Increased network utilization fuels demand for 100GbE 7

8 Multiple Data Center Platforms Announced 100G Support Cisco Nexus 7000 Cisco Nexus 7700 Extreme Black Diamond X8 Arista 7500E Brocade VDX8770 Huawei CE

9 Industry Needs a Low Cost 100G Data Center Interconnect Source : Cisco 9

10 Capacity of 1RU 100Gbps Line Card 3200 Gb/s Fiber links 4800 Gb/s 48 Fiber links To reach the target 3.2Tb/s Tb/s line card capacity the 100G module form factor has to shrink substantially 10

11 100G Optics Connectivity: Road to 6.4T 1RU CFP : 400G 1RU 12-24W CFP2 : 800G 1RU 8-12W CFP4 : 1.6T 1RU 4-6W QSFP28 : 3.2T 1RU 3.5W SFP28 : 4.8T 1RU 1.5W On Board Optics : 6.4T 1RU <1.5 W 11

12 Advanced Modulation for Optical Interfaces Four ways to increase the optical data rate: Increase the data (symbol) rate, or Increase the number of fibers, or Increase number of wavelengths per fiber, or Increase the number of bits transmitted / symbol Advanced modulation is targeted at #4: Single Fiber, Single Wavelength for 100G Combined with #2/#3 for > 100G (e,g. 400G) Benefits include Lower cost 100G optics (fewer lasers) Reach extension on SMF and MMF due to lower baud rate + FEC Lower power implementation Fits in a QSFP form factor Source : IEEE P802.3bm Meeting 12

13 Advanced Modulation for Optical Interfaces (PAM, DMT) Optical PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation) PAM4 Optical Signal Optical DMT (Discrete Multi-Tone) Source : IEEE Communications Magazine, Mar 2013 Note: Based on tanaka_01a_1112 and tanaka_01_0113, IEEE P802.3bm 13

14 Advanced Modulation for Electrical Interfaces 100G MAC / PCS ASIC 4x25G PHY 2x56G PAM4 SFP28 100G Module MDIO Controller 4x25G MDIO 100G PHY 2x56G PAM4 FP28 100G Module CEI-56G OIF project will explore advanced modulation for electrical interfaces 14

15 Inphi Products Enabling Low Cost, Low Power 100G CFP Module 4x25G LD TOSA + Optical Mux 4λ SMF 10x10G 10x10G 100G CMOS Gearbox 4x25G MDIO - I2C TiA ROSA + Optical Demux 4λ SMF Bridge 1.2T 100G Linecard 100G MAC / PCS ASIC 10x10G PHY 100G Gearbox 10x10G 4x25G 4x25G 4x25G Tx CDR Rx CDR 4x25G I2C 4x25G LD TiA TOSA + Optical Mux ROSA + Optical Demux 4λ SMF 4λ SMF MDIO Controller MDIO MDIO - I2C Bridge CFP2 Module 15

16 Visit Inphi at OIF Booth and Booth #263 Private In-Booth Inphi Demos Demo Interoperability with 100G LR4 optics 28G electrical interface performance in excess of OIF 28G VSR 3214 or 3215 with ClariPhy DAC and Fujitsu modulator for 16-QAM 16

17 Summary Numerous catalysts to drive the need more bandwidth inside data centers As data centers grow in size, longer distance transmission over single mode fiber becoming prevalent Industry looking for low cost 100G optics for data center connectivity Advanced modulation holds the promise to enable low cost 100G optics Inphi continues to enable commercialization of low cost, low power 100G interconnects in data center 17
