Semtech\u2019s 200G\/lane modulator driver and TIA ICs accelerate the industry’s transition to XPO for AI network infrastructure<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nAI infrastructure buildouts continue to demand higher network throughput and bandwidth density at lower power, driving the industry toward new transceiver form factors capable of meeting these requirements at scale. XPO addresses these demands in a groundbreaking new pluggable optical transceiver form factor with industry-leading faceplate density.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAI requires datacom optics with the highest performance, speed and density, and the market is poised to rapidly shift to 200G\/lane electrical solutions this year,\u201d said Scott Wilkinson, lead analyst for optical components at Cignal AI. \u201cAs AI operators transition to these high-speed optics, demand will continue to rapidly expand from $9 billion at the start of the AI revolution in 2024 to an estimated $37 billion in 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cXPO represents an innovative and practical approach to addressing network density challenges while preserving the field-serviceability and configurability benefits of pluggable optics,\u201d said Scott Schube, vice president of applications engineering and product definition at Semtech. \u201cSemtech\u2019s portfolio of high-performance modulator drivers and TIAs is designed to support the XPO ecosystem from early prototyping through volume deployment.\u201d<\/p>\n
