Tri-Edge™：下一代数据中心和无线技术所需的速度和效率

信号完整性是每个数字平台的核心支柱，因此光解决方案对于连接和推动数字时代至关重要。每当有人打开网页或使用已连接的器件时，数据都会从 A 点移动到 B 点（通常是通过光纤）。随着行业和消费者对高质量互联网、快速上传与下载的需求不断增加，现在光纤上网用户已占固定宽带用户的 32%，在过去十年中增长了 20%。支持数据使用和云计算的数据中心和企业网络公司需要高性能的光互连技术，以便在不牺牲效率和速度的情况下最大限度地减少成本和功耗。

On the wireless side, experts predict the world will have over 4.39 billion 5G subscribers by 2027. As the industry rolls out 5G, and eventually 5.5G and 6G, more optical capacity will be needed for front, mid and back haul networks running over the same limited amount of available fiber. Rather than ripping up current infrastructure to add more fiber to meet this demand, vendors and providers are turning to higher speed, power-efficient and cost-effective optics that still meet latency and bandwidth demands with what’s already underground.

What’s New: Supporting Near-zero Latency and New Data Center Options

Semtech’s newest Tri-Edge™ integrated circuits (ICs), the GN2555 and GN2556, enable next-generation data center long reach (LR) optical links. Additionally, the new Tri-Edge 50G PAM4 clock and data recovery (CDR) receiver, the GN2559S, offers low latency and reduced power for short reach (SR) and LR optical links. The integration of CDR and laser drivers delivers lower power consumption, reduced size and scalability to 800Gbps, the data equivalent of streaming more than 200,000 movies simultaneously. This allows companies developing hyperscale data center applications and enterprise network configurations to reduce power, latency and costs. It also helps meet the demands of high performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications, along with cloud-based data centers, with minimal changes to data center infrastructure.

To support the transition to 5G and 5.5G, Semtech introduced the industry’s first front haul Tri-Edge wireless platform CDR ICs, the GN2255 and GN2256, which enable the required architectures long reach (LR) and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical links. The Tri-Edge platform’s near-zero latency variation coupled with low power consumption and low product cost allows wireless system vendors and carriers to upgrade their X-haul infrastructures rapidly. Upgrades today will prepare networks for 5.5G and 6G deployments that will allow improved consumer experiences with devices such as autonomous cars, virtual reality and digital healthcare.

Because of Semtech’s deep understanding of customer needs and the future of optical technology in data center, wireless and PON markets, the company delivered dramatic growth in its Signal Integrity Products Group business—which grew 14% over the previous year and achieved record revenues in fiscal year 2022. Semtech also worked to minimize supply chain delays and meet industry demand by producing ICs out of several national and international foundries. This momentum propels the group into the remainder of fiscal year 2023, bringing with it new innovations for the data center, 5G wireless and PON ecosystems.

Looking Forward: Infrastructure to Handle Future Data Center Workloads

Semtech’s Tri-Edge portfolio supports every level of the digital ecosystem—from optical module customers to providers and, eventually, the everyday digital consumer. Semtech is future-proofing the data center and wireless industries by integrating its award-winning technology with companies’ current data center resources, positioning these customers to handle future workloads. By improving networks at the chip level, Semtech is creating a better consumer experience and supporting exciting connected applications and experiences.
