Good News: Minisilicon Wins the "Best Product Award for Optical Communication Startups" at LightCounting OPTiNET!
June 5, 2025 – The LightCounting OPTiNET Optical Communication Startup Forum & Awards Ceremony was successfully held at the JW Marriott Hotel Beijing Central. Minisilicon Technology (Minisilicon), a leading high-speed PAM4 CDR electrical chip company, was honored with the "Best Product Award". We sincerely extend our gratitude to Mr. Vladimir Kozlov, CEO of LightCounting, for gracing the event and presenting the award in person.

Mr. Luo Gang, General Manager of Minisilicon Technology, presented an insightful keynote titled "112G PAM4 Analog CDR: Powering High-Speed, Low-Power AI/Data Center Interconnect", which garnered significant attention and recognition from industry peers.

Minisilicon has been dedicated to the development of high-end analog technologies. Currently, its single-channel 112G CDR integrated transceiver chipset and analog 112G Retimer for AEC have successfully completed tape-out, marking a significant milestone where domestic electrical chips have reached global parity in performance.
This product series is expected to provide data center customers with more cost-effective and power-efficient chipset solutions. Engineering samples are anticipated to be available by October this year. We welcome interested clients to pre-order samples for testing and validation.

For years, the high-end electrical chip market has been dominated by North American companies, with DSP chips serving as a critical bottleneck in optical module production volumes. Minisilicon Technology recognizes that only exceptional products can earn market recognition.
As General Manager Luo Gang emphasized:
"In today's AI/data center market, China shows strong demand for cost-effective, low-power 400G solutions, while overseas markets are rapidly advancing toward 800G and 1.6T high-speed, low-power architectures. To compete in the premium data center segment, Minisilicon is leveraging 'ultra-low power consumption' as our differentiator, focusing on developing CDR chipset solutions with high-speed adaptive equalization technology—charting a unique path in this competitive landscape."
Ø Can CDR Meet the Demands of 224G PAM4 and Beyond, or Will DSP Remain Irreplaceable?
Ø Can CDR Deliver Better Cost-Efficiency? Can DSP Maintain High-End Competitiveness Through Innovation?
Looking forward to meet you at CIOE 2025(Minisilicon Booth 12D53) to further discuss DSP vs. CDR: The Future of High-Speed Connection!
