GN2010EAINTE3D

Overview

The GN2010EAINTE3D is a dual-lane Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) integrated circuit from Semtech's ClearEdge® portfolio. It operates at data rates of 9.95 Gbps to 11.7 Gbps, supporting protocols such as 16G Fibre Channel and 10G FCoE. The device features reference-free operation, eliminating the need for an external clock input. It integrates a VCSEL driver for transmission and includes slice level adjustment capabilities. Packaged in a QFN-32 form factor, it targets high-density optical module applications.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'EAINTE3D' against official Semtech documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring low-power, reference-free signal recovery at 10G/16G speeds. Ensure the application utilizes VCSEL lasers compatible with the integrated driver. Compare power dissipation and pin compatibility with related models like the GN2017A if different laser types are required.

Part Context

This part belongs to Semtech's ClearEdge® CDR family, which emphasizes low power consumption and small footprint solutions. It complements other optical ICs such as TIAs and Laser Drivers within the same ecosystem to provide complete transceiver solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Check pin compatibility with the GN2017A for similar functionality. Verify electrical parameters against other dual-lane CDRs in the GN204x series if protocol requirements differ.
