With the increasing speed of serial links, the need for efficient forward error correction (FEC) has become paramount to maintain data integrity over lossy mediums. CoMira's Error Correction technology addresses this by implementing various FEC algorithms that optimize data recovery functionality in high-speed Ethernet applications.
Drawing from standards such as the 802.3 Ethernet, CoMira's FEC solutions incorporate both FireCode and Reed Solomon methods. These are pivotal for applications such as 100GBASE-KR4 and 50GBASE-R2, providing substantial gains in error correction performance. The IP architecture ensures seamless integration with CoMira's UMAC, enhancing overall system efficiency.
Significantly, CoMira's FEC cores can be deployed standalone, or as part of the UMAC configuration, which adds to their flexibility. By allowing error correction processes to be bypassed when necessary, these cores reduce latency, further optimizing their operation for use in Ethernet and beyond.
