Building on Credo’s renowned Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) technology, the new PCIe 6 and PCIe 7 retimers deliver industry-leading performance and power efficiency while being built on lower cost, more mature process nodes than competing devices. Credo will also include enhanced diagnostic tools, including an embedded logic analyzer and advanced SerDes tools driven by a new GUI designed to enable rapid bring up and debug of customer systems.

“Credo is excited to extend our leadership into a new category of high-speed connectivity with the introduction of the Toucan PCIe 6 and Magpie PCIe 7 retimers,” said Phil Kumin of Credo, Associate Vice President of PCIe Product. “By leveraging a mature process technology node, we are well positioned to achieve a cost advantage over our competition. Furthermore, with our SerDes already under evaluation on Tier 1 reference platforms, Credo is well positioned to capitalize on the AI industry’s transition to PCIe 7 and take advantage of the throughput improvement.”

“As PCIe speeds climb to 64GT/s and 128GT/s, retimers are increasingly critical components,” said Dr. Debendra Das Sharma, Intel Senior Fellow, Chief Architect of I/O Technology and Standards in the Data Center Platforms and Artificial Intelligence Group at Intel Corporation. “As a leader in PCIe, we commend Credo for their investment in PCIe6/CXL3.x and PCIe7/CXL4.x retimers and we’re excited to collaborate with them on pre-silicon co-simulation.”

Credo’s Toucan PCIe6/CXL3.x retimer, based on the TSMC N7 process technology, will sample in Q4, 2024. Toucan offers a full DSP SerDes to support PAM4 PCIe channels up to 43dB, enhanced diagnostic tools including an embedded logic analyzer, and x16 power of 11W. Credo’s Magpie PCIe7/CXL4.x retimer, based on the TSMC N5 process node, will begin sampling in H2 2025.
