The embedded computer future is active
At the Fleck Connection Congress, Intersil's embedded computer elaborated on active cable interconnects as a way to address many of the challenges. In active cables, small silicon ICs are embedded in each end. The silicon restores signals that have been attenuated over the length of the cable. Active copper-based cables can be used for the lowest cost and lowest power applications while active optical fiber-based cables are ideal for the longest distances. Data centers are already embracing active cables to overcome embedded computer of existing solutions. The consumer embedded computer is more cost sensitive and thus more hesitant to use active cables, but the driving need for ultra-thin product profiles and I/O density are making active cables the only option.
