“With the introduction of GN1700 to the FiberEdge portfolio, Semtech is also enhancing its Tri-Edge chipsets. Since the FiberEdge GN1700 was specifically designed to be paired with the Tri-Edge GN2255 and GN2256, Semtech is boosting the performance of 50Gbps PAM4 optical modules,” said Raza Khan, senior market manager for Semtech’s Signal Integrity Products Group. “The FiberEdge IC complements our existing Tri-Edge platform to give our customers superior performance while enabling optimized chipset pricing.”
As 5G wireless X-haul transport infrastructures are being upgraded to support emerging use cases, 50Gbps PAM4 is expected to become a new standard for 5G front haul architectures. In addition, there is an increased focus on enabling best performance with optimized chipsets for optical module vendors and system vendors. Semtech’s Tri-Edge and FiberEdge chipset ICs will enable module vendors and system vendors to deploy 50Gbps PAM4 front haul architectures rapidly and increase their 5G footprint. Semtech’s FiberEdge GN1700 IC is optimized to work best for 50Gbps PAM4 optical modules for 5G front haul deployments when used with Semtech’s Tri-Edge CDR chipsets (GN2255 and GN2256).
The FiberEdge GN1700 is available for immediate sampling.
