Tri-Edge™ : 次世代データセンターとワイヤレステクノロジーの速度と効率

シグナルインテグリティがすべてのデジタルプラットフォームのバックボーンを形成するため、デジタル時代における接続と強化には、光ソリューションが不可欠です。誰かがウェブページを開いたり、接続されたデバイスを使用したりするたびに、データはA地点からB地点に移動しますが、これには多くの場合、光ファイバーが使用されます。高品質のインターネットと高速なアップロード・ダウンロード速度に対する業界と消費者の需要が高まる中、現在、ファイバーは固定ブロードバンド契約の32%を占めており、過去10年間で20%増加しています。データの使用とクラウドコンピューティングを強化するデータセンターやエンタープライズネットワーキング企業は、効率と速度を犠牲にすることなくコストと電力消費を最小限に抑える高性能光相互接続テクノロジーを必要としています。

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.
