A Complete Chipset for 100G Single Wavelength Optical Module Solutions

Agile and flexible, scalable and cost-effective solutions are indispensable in our connected world where datacenters have to meet challenging and disruptive needs, events and requirements.

Semtech and MultiPhy Enter into a Strategic Agreement to Bring to Market a Complete Chipset for 100G Single Wavelength Optical Module Solutions.

A great momentum within which, the companies plan to offer a complete PHY and PMD solution to enable 100G modules requiring only single lane optics setting a new benchmark for cost and performance of 100G links and emerging 400G applications. 

According to the agreement, the new 100Gbps per wavelength PAM4 technology should enable the elimination of parallel optical solutions and MUX and DEMUX components used in duplex fiber solutions, requiring just a single laser and optical receiver for each optical module. This solution should also reduce the manufacturing complexity and enable smaller module form factors, which are essential for enabling increased port density in datacenters.
