We cater to the growing demand for faster, more efficient interconnects, and customized solutions, serving industries such as semiconductor, networking, telecommunications, and more. Our approach is built on a foundation of precision engineering, rigorous validation, and a deep understanding of protocol complexities. Whether it’s enabling high-speed data transfers, creating custom ASICs, or developing encryption systems for secure communication, Qbit Labs delivers robust solutions tailored to the most demanding use cases.

Qbit Labs offers comprehensive expertise in implementing the latest high-speed protocols, such as PCIe Gen 6 and CXL 3.0. These protocols are at the forefront of performance, supporting high data rates and low-latency communication across systems. We specialize in:

  • Full-stack PCIe Gen 6 and CXL protocol design: From physical layer (PHY) through to software stack, we ensure seamless integration with existing systems.
  • High-speed signal integrity: Our engineers focus on optimizing signal paths, reducing jitter, and managing noise to meet the stringent requirements of PCIe Gen 6 and CXL 3.0.
  • Interoperability testing and validation: Ensuring full compatibility across devices, controllers, and switches to prevent bottlenecks and ensure reliable data flow.

Qbit Labs excels in developing custom Application-Specific Standard Products (ASSPs) and Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) that address the unique needs of high-speed protocol implementation. This includes:

  • Protocol-specific design for switches, bridges, and retimers: We provide tailor-made designs that optimize the integration and performance of high-speed protocols within your systems.
  • Low-power, high-performance designs: Our ASICs are engineered to deliver excellent performance while maintaining power efficiency, crucial for mobile, embedded, and telecom applications.
  • End-to-end hardware and software integration: Our custom designs are fully supported with software drivers and firmware to ensure smooth deployment and operation.

Switches and bridges are critical components in high-speed networking and interconnect systems, and at Qbit Labs, we offer expert design and development of:

  • Low-latency, high-throughput switches: Enabling optimal data routing, our switches ensure minimal delays and efficient bandwidth utilization.
  • Advanced bridging solutions: Our bridges allow for seamless communication between different protocols or architectures, supporting complex multi-protocol environments.
  • Scalability and redundancy: We design systems that are scalable, fault-tolerant, and able to handle increasing data loads as your system grows.

We specialize in creating custom IP cores tailored to specific protocol requirements, allowing for greater flexibility and customization within your designs. Our services include:

  • Custom protocol IP cores: We design and develop protocol-specific IP cores for protocols such as PCIe, Ethernet, CXL, and more, ensuring compatibility and optimized performance.
  • Optimized for low-latency and high throughput: Our IP cores are designed with performance in mind, ensuring they meet the demanding needs of high-speed data transmission.
  • Quick integration and scalability: Our IP cores are designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing designs and scale as your requirements evolve.

Signal integrity becomes critical in high-speed protocols, especially when data needs to travel over long distances or through noisy environments. Qbit Labs provides:

  • Signal regeneration and timing adjustment: Our retimers re-align and regenerate signals to maintain high-quality communication, ensuring minimal data loss and corruption.
  • Support for high-speed interconnects: Whether it’s PCIe, CXL, or other high-speed protocols, our retimers work to maintain signal integrity across complex systems.
  • Real-time error detection: Our designs include real-time monitoring to ensure data transmission errors are identified and corrected promptly, improving reliability.

Security is a critical concern for modern communication systems, especially in industries such as defense, finance, and telecommunications. Qbit Labs delivers state-of-the-art encryption solutions to secure high-speed data transfers:

  • End-to-end encryption design: We design custom encryption solutions tailored to high-speed protocols, ensuring that data is encrypted before transmission and decrypted upon reception without compromising speed.
  • AES and advanced cryptographic algorithms: Using industry-standard encryption algorithms like AES, we ensure robust protection while maintaining protocol efficiency.
  • Hardware-based encryption: Our encryption solutions often leverage custom hardware accelerators to offload the encryption/decryption process, ensuring that they do not impact system performance.
