Shenzhen, China and San Jose, Calif., September 8, 2021 – Credo, a global innovation leader in advanced connectivity solutions delivering high performance, low power connectivity solutions for 100G, 400G, and 800G port-enabled networks, today announced Seagull 110 and Seagull XR8 PAM4 DSPs. The pair of products expand Credo's SEAGULL Family and together enable high-performance 50/100/200/400Gbps applications in hyperscale data centers.

Seagull 110 is a 2x53Gbps PAM4 retimer, while Seagull XR8 is an 8x53Gbps PAM4 retimer. Both devices are backward-compatible and support legacy data rates.

Seagull 110 is ideal for 1:2 breakout AOC or transceiver links between servers with 53G PAM4 interfaces and top of rack or end-of-row switches. Seagull XR8 enables VCSEL-based 400Gbps PAM4 solutions, providing a cost-effective alternative to current single-mode fiber based fiber connectivity within the rack. In addition, with 1:2, 1:4 or 1:8 breakout options, Seagull XR8 provides flexible options for interconnect and network density.
