WHO WE ARE

Enabling Connections since 2008

Founded in 2008, Credo is a leading provider of high performance, low power semiconductor solutions for the data center, enterprise networking, high performance computing, and 5G wireless markets.

Our purpose-built approach to SerDes design enables our products to be built on mature process technology, providing our customers with a competitive edge.

Credo delivers the bandwidth, scalability and end-to-end signal integrity needed to meet the demands of advanced networks up to 800G with single-lane 28G, 56G, or 112G connectivity.


Our Technology Approach

As a global innovation leader in Serializer-Deserializer (SerDes) technology, Credo has consistently broken through perceived technical barriers, delivering industry-leading speed, power and equalization. Credo's unique, patented mixed signal architecture is the foundation for its high performance, low power, connectivity solutions and robust IP offerings.

The company’s many technical achievements include the industry’s first public demonstration of 100G PAM4. An impressive achievement in 28nm demonstrating that Credo technology does not depend on the most advance processing nodes.

As bandwidth requirements grow due to demand from applications like big data, mobility and cloud, designers can rely on Credo’s technology to accelerate throughput and deliver robust end-to-end signal integrity solutions in next-generation platforms requiring single-lane rate 28G, 56G, and 112G connectivity.
