Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix R3BINE3 against official Semtech documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards as indicated by the INE3 designation. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm availability and authenticity. Check for any specific ordering suffixes that may affect mechanical dimensions or packaging quantity.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring low power and small footprint in 100G optical interconnects. The GN2104S family offers pin-to-pin compatibility, allowing for design flexibility across different data rate requirements such as 24G-26G for wireless applications. Consider the <5ps jitter performance for sensitive signal integrity requirements in high-speed data centers.

Part Context

This part belongs to Semtech’s ClearEdge CDR platform, which provides reference-free clock and data recovery solutions. The ClearEdge line is widely used in 10G and 100G data center applications. The GN2104 series specifically targets multi-lane signal conditioning for optical modules like QSFP28, CFP4, and XFP, offering industry-leading sensitivity and jitter tolerance.

Replacement Considerations

The GN2104SC is noted as a pin-to-pin compatible solution within the same family. Verify if the GN2104S generic variant meets the specific electrical and mechanical requirements before substitution. No other direct public substitutes are confirmed.
