Marvell Unveils Industry's First 64 Gbps/wire Bi-Directional Die-to-Die Interface IP in 2nm to Power Next Generation XPUs
- New D2D interface IP offers more than 3x bandwidth density of equivalent UCIe interface while requiring far less silicon
- Advanced power management capability automatically adapts to bursty data center traffic, significantly lowering power consumption
- Delivers unmatched bandwidth, efficiency, and resiliency for AI infrastructure
The Marvell® 64 Gbps bi-directional D2D interface offers bandwidth density over 30 Tbps/mm, more than three times the bandwidth density of UCIe at equivalent speeds, and a minimal depth configuration that reduces compute die area requirements to 15% compared to conventional implementations. The interface IP is also the industry's first in its class to feature advanced adaptive power management that automatically adjusts device activity to bursty data center traffic. This innovation reduces interface power consumption by up to 75% with normal workloads and up to 42% during peak traffic periods.
The 64 Gbps bi-directional D2D interface IP also enhances performance and reliability with unique features such as redundant lanes and automatic lane repair, which improve yield and reduce bit-error rates by eliminating weak links in the system. Extending beyond the D2D PHY technology, Marvell delivers a complete solution stack—including the application bridge, link layers, and physical interconnect—providing customers with a turnkey platform to reduce time-to-market for next-generation XPUs.
"The 64 Gbps bi-directional D2D interface IP marks an industry first and reflects our commitment to pioneering technologies that enhance performance while reducing total cost of ownership for next-generation AI devices," said
"D2D interfaces—which form the backbone of the communications networks linking silicon die within the same device--are fundamental to increasing the performance and efficiency of data center semiconductors and especially the rapidly growing custom computing segment," said Baron Fung, Senior Director of Research at
The new 64 Gbps D2D interface technology builds on the proven Marvell track record of delivering industry firsts in advanced process technologies. In
