Abstract

Synchronously Parallel fiber optical interconnection technologies are attractive for high- throughput computer and switching systems, such as massively parallel computers and ATM switches. Because they would be able to eliminate a connection bottleneck caused by conventional copper cables using optical fibers featured in high-speed and long-distance transmission and wiring¹⁾. We have proposed optical interconnection with 12-channel fully- integrated CMOS-interface modules for low skew and error-free unformatted data(DC- 250Mbit/s) transmission^2,3). This paper reports on our error-free(80 hours) 600MB/s(4.8Gbit/s) data transmission between switching LSIs designed for the massively parallel processing computer⁴⁾.
