Semtech to Demonstrate 100G/Lane Linear Pluggable Optical Links at ECOC 2023

FiberEdge® PMDs enable Linear Drive architecture interoperating with latest switch ASIC technology

CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a high-performance semiconductor, IoT systems and cloud connectivity service provider, today announced the demonstration of 100G/lane linear pluggable optical links featuring Semtech’s latest FiberEdge^® 100G PAM4 PMDs.

At the European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) 2023 exhibition in Glasgow, Scotland, from Oct 2 to 4, Semtech’s live demonstration will include:

• 800G SR8 LPO (Linear Pluggable Optics) module, featuring Semtech’s FiberEdge GN1848 quad VCSEL driver and GN1816 quad TIA, interoperating with latest switch ASIC technology, in Semtech’s booth #517
• 800G SR8 LPO (Linear Pluggable Optics) module, featuring Semtech’s FiberEdge GN1848 quad VCSEL driver and GN1816 quad TIA, interoperating with latest switch ASIC technology and other LPO modules from multi-vendor ecosystem, in OIF’s booth #304
• 800G SR8 DSP-based module, featuring Semtech’s FiberEdge GN1848 quad VCSEL driver and GN1816 quad TIA, interoperating with latest switch ASIC technology, in Semtech’s booth #517
• Results from 800G 2xDR4 LPO module, tested offline with latest switch ASIC technology

“Semtech’s FiberEdge PMD portfolio includes high linearity devices that enable the linear compensation needed from the PMDs in a DSP-less datacenter environment,” said Nicola Bramante, senior product line manager for Semtech’s Signal Integrity Products Group. “The Linear Drive architecture demands close handshaking between PMDs and switch ASIC to ensure the success of LPO. This demonstration proves such interoperability for both multi-mode and single-mode datacenter applications.”

Visit Semtech at booth #517 at the European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) 2023 exhibition in Glasgow, Scotland, from Oct 2 to 4.
