Efforts to Increase Signal Integrity Solutions

In addition to the launch of Tri-Edge GN2559S receiver, Semtech announced a number of soon-to-be-released signal integrity solutions at the recent European Conference.

SMTC will launch a FiberEdge linear transimpedance amplifiers integrated circuit named GN1700 for allowing 50Gbps PAM4 5G front-haul and mid-haul deployments.

Semtech will also unveil Tri-Edge GN2256, a bidirectional analog PAM4 CDR with an integrated differential driver, suitable for 5G front-haul deployments.

Additionally, SMTC aims to expand its FiberEdge platform with two new integrated circuit solutions, named GN1300 and GN1400 for use in optical modules, suitable for 5G wireless X-haul applications.

Additionally, Semtech will introduce a 200G per Lane FiberEdge physical medium-dependent chipset and a ClearEdge CDR Transmitter solution named GN2105S.

Further, SMTC made GN1848, a FiberEdge platform of PAM4 chipsets and GN1816, a FiberEdge platform of PAM4 linear transimpedance amplifiers, available for customers.

With the growing signal integrity solutions, Semtech strives to strengthen its signal integrity product line, which became its key component.

The aforesaid product line generated revenues of $87.4 million (accounting for 41.7% of total second-quarter fiscal 2023 revenues), up 19.5% on a year-over-year basis.

Optical Communication and Networking Market Holds Promise

On the back of increasing signal integrity offerings, Semtech is expected to strengthen its position in the optical communication systems and networking market.

The above-mentioned market is witnessing significant growth in recent times owing to the expansion of telecom infrastructure across developed and developing nations.

According to a Future Business Insights report, the global optical communication systems and networking market is likely to hit $32.9 billion by 2029 from $20.4 billion in 2022, witnessing a CAGR of 7.1% during the 2022-2029 forecast period.

Though Semtech’s rising initiatives to expand presence in the aforesaid market remain a positive, its declining revenues from the high-end consumer market due to weak demand from the Asian smartphone customers remains a serious concern.

Shares of SMTC have been down 60.1% in the year-to-date period, lagging the Computer and Technology sector’s decline of 30.1%.
