A 400 Gbps backplane switch with 10 Gbps/port optical I/O interfaces

A 400 Gbps backplane switch was developed with low-cost, small-size, 8-channels 10 Gbps/port optical I/O and a SiGe Bi-CMOS switch LSI on a 60x60-mm 2 BGA package. It indicates the applicability of backplane switch for high throughput backplane interconnections.
