Parade Technologies has expanded its PCIe and high-speed connectivity portfolio with the introduction of two new quad-channel Ethernet Linear Redrivers, the PS9524 and PS9514, designed to support next-generation 224Gbps and 112Gbps Ethernet applications in AI and high-performance data center environments.
The new devices are engineered to address increasing bandwidth and performance requirements driven by hyperscale computing, AI workloads, and high-speed server and storage infrastructure. Standards such as IEEE802.DJ and CEI-224G increasingly rely on multi-level PAM-4 signaling, which requires high linearity, optimized bandwidth, and consistent group delay across the signal path.
Parade’s PS9524 and PS9514 redrivers are designed to meet these demands with enhanced signal integrity and programmable equalization boosts of up to 25dB and 22dB respectively. Operating from a single 3.3V supply, the devices aim to maintain efficient performance while supporting the signal quality required for high-speed Ethernet connectivity.
With data centers placing growing emphasis on reducing power consumption and latency—especially in AI scale-up architectures—the new redrivers are designed to minimize both. Their compact footprint allows them to fit within existing cable module metal shells, including QSFP, QSFP-DD, OSFP, and OSFP-XD form factors, without requiring additional heat dissipation components.
According to Jimmy Chiu, Executive Vice President of Marketing at Parade Technologies, the new devices help address rising concerns around I/O power efficiency and latency in AI data center infrastructures. He noted that the PS9524 and PS9514 feature industry-leading insertion loss deviation performance and enhanced linearity to maintain stable link equalization across the full signal bandwidth.
The PS95xx series is intended to extend copper cable reach and improve routing flexibility within high-performance computing environments while supporting evolving AI infrastructure demands.
Parade Technologies stated that both devices are currently sampling. The PS9524 and PS9514 are packaged in a 2.7 mm × 5.8 mm, 57-pin WLCSP form factor and deliver typical power consumption of 1W and 800mW respectively for extended cable applications.
