Semtech Corporation announced the immediate availability for sampling of its groundbreaking FiberEdge chipset. This latest innovation is designed to power the next generation of 100Gbps ZR Coherent-lite optical modules, marking a significant advancement in the realm of network edge capabilities and efficiency. The Cable Multiple Systems Operator (MSO) market is facing a challenge.

In the move from 10Gbps to 100Gbps, operators need to future-proof and stay relevant in the new digital content era. Enabling this data-transmission transition over long distances (80km and longer) requires a great deal of power efficiency for optical module components. Semtech is making this revolution possible through its new FiberEdge chipsets, dedicated to enabling this transition.

The FiberEdge GN1740 Linear Transimpedance Amplifier (TIA) and GN1796 Driver are the pillars of this new chipset, embodying Semtech?s dedication to cutting-edge design and a relentless pursuit of power efficiency. Engineered for operations requiring ultra-low power consumption and compatibility with industrial temperatures, these components are at the forefront of enabling compact, energy-efficient solutions for 100Gbps QSFP28 Coherent-lite modules. This development comes in response to the growing demand for 100Gbps ZR technology, essential for boosting bandwidth and service capabilities across various network infrastructures.

The 100Gbps coherent dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) technology, integral to these advancements, facilitates the transmission of large data volumes over considerable distances. It's particularly beneficial for applications in mobile mid-haul, backhaul, cable access, and business services, offering a substantial performance leap over traditional 10Gbps DWDM or 100Gbps grey fiber links. Semtech's commitment to innovation is further underscored by its comprehensive portfolio, including the 5G wireless Tri-Edge?

CDR and FiberEdge TIA ranges, catering to a wide array of network technology needs. Visitors to Semtech?s private demo booth at OFC 2024 will have the opportunity to witness firsthand the capabilities of the latest FiberEdge chipset.
