GN2255 is a bidirectional Tri-Edge CDR with
integrated DML driver for 50Gbps SFP56 PAM4 5G wireless optical
modules
Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of high
performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced
algorithms, today announced sampling of a new solution (GN2255),
Semtech’s Tri-Edge™ CDR to enable emerging 50Gbps PAM4 5G front
haul deployments. Based on the proven Tri-Edge CDR platform
qualified in data center applications, the new solution delivers
the cost effectiveness, small footprint, low power, ultra-low
latency, and performance demanded by 5G front haul
applications.

(Graphic: Business Wire)
The rollout of 5G technology continues to create new
opportunities across industries, but current infrastructure cannot
support all use cases. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic has
emphasized the importance of seamless wireless connectivity with
device usage going up across the board worldwide: 70 percent of
global Internet users surveyed reported using their smartphones or
mobile phones more as a direct result of the coronavirus outbreak,
according to a study from March 2020. This increased demand
requires higher bandwidth transmission capacity for 5G front haul
deployments at extremely low latency, low power and with high
performance. Semtech’s new integrated circuit (IC) enables 50Gbps
PAM4 links that will double the bandwidth of currently deployed
25Gbps NRZ front haul links. The IC combines Semtech’s proprietary
analog Tri-Edge technology with enhanced laser driver compensation
to enable IEEE-compliant optical modules over industrial
temperature ranges. Semtech’s introduction of the Tri-Edge 5G
wireless IC will help support new 5G applications, including edge
computing, enhanced mobile broadband and device streaming, and
fixed wireless access (i.e., home Internet).
The GN2255 Tri-Edge IC is the industry’s first analog IC
solution enabling ultra-low latency, less than 1.5W module power
and industry leading performance for up to 10km reach for 50Gbps
PAM4 SFP56 optical modules. Semtech’s Tri-Edge technology and
proprietary DML compensation will enable use of high volume, low
cost 25Gbps bandwidth optics to operate at 50Gbps PAM4.
“Semtech is at the forefront of innovation with this new
Tri-Edge IC and we look forward to collaborating with system
vendors and our optical module partners to enable next-generation
5G wireless front haul deployments,” said Raza Khan, Senior Market
Manager for Semtech’s Signal Integrity Products Group.
The Tri-Edge wireless IC is now available for sampling and
Semtech will also offer a complete Reference Design Kit (RDK)
including complete module-level firmware to enable rapid adoption
of Semtech’s solution.
