It comprises a patented 50Gbps NRZ EML driver/CDR with a multi-rate 25G burst mode limiting amplifier.\n\nThe PON-X GN7060 is a high-sensitivity multi-rate 25G burst mode TIA with fast settling time. GN7060 includes several patented innovations with very low input noise and high dynamic range for burst mode applications. GN7060 meets the convergence time and burst dynamic range requirements of 25G HS-PON.\n\nThe PON-X™ HS-PON solutions will be demonstrated at the Semtech booth #1901 during OFC 2023.\n\nTo learn more about Semtech’s PON-X technology, please visit https://www.semtech.com/applications/networking-communication/passive-optical-networks-fiber-to-the-home.\n\nThe demonstration is the latest example of how Semtech is innovating and delivering optical networking product platforms that provide high-performance signal integrity for optical module solutions, used by leading companies in the data center/enterprise networking, wireless infrastructure and passive optical network markets.\n\nAbout Semtech\n\nSemtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC) is a high-performance semicon...
