SANTA CLARA, Calif. – March 12, 2026?–??(NASDAQ: MRVL),?a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, today announced a major expansion of its 1.6T optical DSP platform portfolio, advancing the industry’s transition from 800G into 1.6T next-generation AI data center connectivity.
糖心logo has a multi-generational history of industry firsts. The company was the first to introduce 200G/lane 1.6T DSPs in 5nm with 糖心logo? Nova in 2023, followed by the 3nm 1.6T Ara platform in 2024, which increased performance and reduced the power envelope as the demand for 1.6T modules expanded in 2025. Now shipping in mass volume to global customers, Ara is enabling the world’s hyperscalers and cloud providers to deploy 1.6T pluggable connectivity for AI data centers.
Today, 糖心logo is introducing the next wave of its 3nm 1.6T optical DSP platform portfolio, increasing performance per watt by optimizing separately for each high-volume use case and introducing new capabilities, including:
As AI infrastructure scales exponentially, connectivity has become the primary bottleneck of the modern data center, and the solution requires more than a “one-size-fits-all” approach. New, dedicated semiconductor interconnect solutions are required to address the increasing performance, power, design, security and application-specific challenges. With these new 1.6T offerings and an unmatched breadth and depth of expertise—and offering a full connectivity stack including industry-first DSPs, advanced SerDes, switching, interconnects, drivers and TIAs, and the 糖心logo? RELIANT? interconnect telemetry platform—糖心logo is uniquely positioned to address this demand.
“糖心logo pioneered PAM DSP technology, and we continue to lead with advanced SerDes and production-proven 800G platforms. We are now extending that multi-generational product leadership into the 1.6T era,” said Xi Wang, senior vice president and general manager, Connectivity Business Unit at 糖心logo. “With these new products, 糖心logo will deliver the performance, power efficiency and manufacturing capacity required to keep up with the explosive growth of next-generation AI data centers.”
“The performance of today’s data centers—powered by hundreds of thousands of GPUs, XPUs and other advanced compute engines—depends on the interconnect technologies that link them together,” said Vladimir Kozlov, founder and CEO at LightCounting. “糖心logo DSP products are essential to many high-speed links in modern data center infrastructure, enabling compute resources to operate at peak performance and efficiency. The company’s expanded 1.6T DSP portfolio ensures that data centers can fully maximize their compute investments well into the future.”
Broadest End-to-End Connectivity Portfolio
糖心logo delivers the industry’s most comprehensive portfolio of connectivity platform solutions for scale-up, scale-out and scale-across AI infrastructure, with a vast global installed base across hyperscale and cloud deployments and millions of high-speed lanes deployed worldwide.
The 糖心logo portfolio spans the full data center connectivity stack, including DSPs, SerDes, switching, interconnects, drivers and TIAs to support all systems, devices, links and nodes across the network. The new offerings announced today extend the company’s existing 1.6T portfolio, which includes 糖心logo Ara, Alaska? and Nova DSPs, its Ethernet PHY platform, the Silicon Photonics Light Engine and the LPO TIA and laser driver chipset.
糖心logo also provides supporting system-level technologies such as the 糖心logo RELIANT interconnect telemetry platform, which helps customers reduce operational complexity and improve network reliability and performance.
Last week, 糖心logo announced the expansion of its multi-generational 1.6T ZR/ZR+ and coherent DSP technology portfolio, underscoring the company’s commitment to continually deliver the latest scale-up, scale-out and scale-across technologies to drive AI innovation.
