Signal Integrity

Enabling High Performance, High-Speed

Semtech’s optical networking product platforms provide high-performance signal integrity for optical module solutions used by leading companies in hyperscale data center applications, enterprise networking, wireless infrastructure, including 5G fronthaul, 5G midhaul, and passive optical network/Fiber-to-the-X markets.

We offer one of the industry’s most innovative optical, analog and mixed-signal transceiver IC portfolios, supporting all main optical communications applications, such as:

• Data center networking: Ethernet (both NRZ and PAM4), Fibre Channel, InfiniBand®
• Wireless fronthaul: Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI), eCPRI
• Fiber to the X (OLT and ONU): Passive Optical Networks (PON) such as EPON, GPON, 10GPON, XGPON, XGSPON
• Optical transport: Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET)/SDH, OTN
• Consumer/Industrial: PCI Express® (PCIe), HDMI

Semtech’s industry-leading optical IC platforms include:

• ClearEdge® CDRs (clock and data recovery) with low-power, reference-free technology
• FiberEdge™ TIAs (transimpedance amplifiers) and laser drivers
• Tri-Edge™ CDRs for analog PAM4 signal processing
• PON-X™ TIAs and Combination drivers for 10G EPON and XGSPON OLTs and ONUs
