Anritsu, Semtech Demo Linear Driver Implementations

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Anritsu Company (booth #2519) announces that its MP1800A BERT is part of a demonstration of next-generation semiconductor technology in the Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC) booth (#1063) at OFC/NFOEC, Anaheim, CA. Semtech, a leading supplier of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, is conducting Linear Modulator Driver technology specifically implemented for driving Mach Zehnder Modulators in next-generation 100G/200G/400G transport systems requiring advanced modulation formats using a low jitter 32 Gb/s PAM4 input source generated by Anritsu’s MP1800A.“Semtech is dedicated to providing proprietary solutions and breakthrough technology in a variety of market applications, including high-performance optical transport equipment (SerDes). Our demonstration at OFC/NFOEC highlights our commitment to next-generation products, and requires the precision and overall high-performance of the Anritsu MP1800A,” said Matt Pope, Vice President of Optical Product Line.The MP1800A was selected by Semtech for the demonstration because it integrates synchronized multi-channel pulse pattern generators (PPG) with up to eight channels, with independent skew control of 2mUI setting resolution.
