As 5G, computing, video, gaming, and other applications push ever more data across networks, optical connections must keep up, lest they become the bottleneck. Today, optical networks using PAM4 modulation can push 50 Gbps per lane with higher speeds coming soon. A 400 Gbps Ethernet link, therefore, uses 8×50 Gbps lanes. The GN2255 clock-data recovery chip from Semtech cleans signals in 50 Gbps PAM4 data streams and integrates an optical laser driver. Read more
