SHENZHEN, China--()--Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of high performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms, today announced mass production of a fully integrated quad 28G ClearEdge® CDR with single-ended electro-absorption modulated lasers (EML) laser driver. It offers the industry’s lowest power, consuming only 790 mW at maximum, 1.5 Vppse swing, in a 6mm x 5mm package with integrated bias-T passive components.

The ClearEdge® CDR with single-ended EML laser driver (GN2106S) enables excellent performance with EML based TOSAs while solving the challenge of shrinking real estate in QSFP28 designs.

“EML solutions will continue to have a strong market with our customer base – Semtech’s ICs enable our customers the ability to succeed with high quality solutions for data centers and wireless base stations while offering the industry’s lowest power,” said Dr. Timothy Vang, Vice President of Marketing and Applications for Semtech’s Signal Integrity Products Group.

Semtech will privately demonstrate the new solutions in its CIOE booth, 1B02, at the Shenzhen Convention Center.
