Semtech (SMTC): 224G Optical Chips Strengthen Its Role in AI Data Center Interconnects Habib Ur Rehman Mon, June 15, 2026 at 2:28 AM GMT+7 2 min read SMTC Semtech Corporation (NASDAQ:SMTC) is one of the best AI networking stocks to buy according to analysts. The company gave investors a fresh AI infrastructure angle in mid-March when it launched a family of 224 Gbps per lane Transimpedance Amplifiers and Mach-Zehnder Modulator drivers for LRO, LPO, XPO, Near-Packaged Optics, and Co-Packaged Optics interconnect applications.
The products are designed to enable 800G, 1.6T, and 3.2T transceivers and optical engines for AI/ML clusters, hyperscale data centers, and next-generation cloud infrastructure. That makes Semtech a direct participant in one of the most important bottlenecks in AI infrastructure: moving data faster and more efficiently between accelerators, switches, and optical links. The company also said its linear interconnect architecture can remove the power-intensive digital signal processor from optical modules while maintaining link integrity, addressing power, cooling, and cost pressures in AI data centers.
