Optical and
Copper Products
Semtech-Gennum Products design the industry’s most innovative optical,
analog and mixed signal semiconductor solutions to serve the rising global
demand for high-speed data transmission products—robust solutions that
improve performance and reliability, simplify design, lower system costs
and speed time to market.
With the acquisition of Gennum and Nanotech, Semtech now offers one
of the industry’s most comprehensive portfolios of optical transceiver IC
products ranging from 100Mb/s-100Gb/s supporting such key industry
standards such as Fibre Channel, InfiniBand®, Ethernet, PON, SONET and
PCI Express®.
For optical component suppliers, this highly differentiated set of products
gives a unique roadmap that improves performance and reliability,
simplifies design, lowers costs and speeds time to market.
For systems designers and manufacturers working on the next generation
of high-speed networks, Gennum Products’ multi-lane and multi-rate
10Gb/s-100Gb/s backplane solutions provide cost-effective low power,
high performance ways to enable next-generation networks.
Semtech-Gennum Products is also an active contributor in networking
standards development. Combine that with the fact that we’ve shipped
over 63 million Optical IC’s, and you get a feel for the sort of real-world
experience in networking complexities and solution delivery we can bring
to your designs.

Emerging Technology
25-28Gb/s Reference-Free CDRs
High Performance Reference-Free CDRs for Next-Generation 100Gb/s Networks
The GN2425 and GN2426 are Gennum Products’ new clock
and data recovery (CDR) retimers designed to support the
implementation of 100Gb Ethernet optical modules. They
are designed to handle 25Gb/s data streams within next-
generation 100Gb/s pluggable fiber-optic modules, line cards
and direct-attach copper/optical cables.
feAtuReS
GN2425
Provides excellent output jitter performance for optimal
interfacing to laser drivers, or directly driving over a copper
cable.
GN2426
• Enable OIF CEI-28G-VSR retimed interfaces by
compensating for losses in the data transmission and
resetting the jitter budget
• Optimized for best jitter performance
• Designed specifically for the next-generation 100GbE
CFP2 module form-factor
• Allow for the serializer and deserializer to be positioned
outside of the CFP2 module enabling a simpler, lower
power and lower cost solution
• Enable higher module density and faster serial bit rates
APPlIcAtIoNS
In the receive chain, the GN2426 removes jitter from the
recovered optical signal, providing ample margin for line
card receivers to recover the high-speed data stream from
the module.
