Q&A Batch (1-5 of 5)
Q1 — Rick Schafer
- Topic: ACC (CopperEdge) ramp timeline and market sizing
- Key points:
- CopperEdge ICs designed into three programs for a leading hyperscaler; ramp starts in 2026, with Q4 2025 revenue being just a starting point.
- ACC positioned between DAC (signal integrity limit at high speed/long distance) and AEC (longer distance but higher power); ACC will “chip away a substantial portion” of the combined AEC+DAC TAM.
- Expects more design wins in coming quarters; ACC adoption is platform-based, with power savings as a key advantage.
- Mgmt stance: Bullish — sees ACC as a catalyst with strong reference point from hyperscaler deployment, but sizing the opportunity is still evolving.
Q2 — Sean O'Laughlin
- Topic: Data center growth, LPO contribution, gross margin, and foundry capacity
- Key points:
- Q4 data center revenue expected ~10% QoQ growth (on top of 8% QoQ in Q3); majority from fiber edge products.
- LPO contribution in Q4 at “mid-single-digit level”; ACC contribution in Q4 “very nominal,” with volume ramp starting in 2026 (3–4 months prior for cable manufacturers).
- Semiconductor gross margin in Q3: 61.4% (up 140 bps YoY, 60 bps QoQ); SIP (signal integrity) gross margin 65.1% (up 70 bps QoQ, 200 bps YoY); data center and LoRa margins above corporate average.
- Foundry partner (silicon germanium) has long-standing relationship; co-planning process with customers provides 6+ months lead time visibility, ensuring no key component shortages.
- Mgmt stance: Bullish — data center momentum strong; gross margins accretive from core portfolio; portfolio rationalization (IoT) to reduce margin disparity.
Q3 — Harsh Kumar
- Topic: LPO market size, ACC vs. AEC/DAC applications, and force sensing acquisition
- Key points:
- LPO increases TAM by 150% (adding drivers to TIAs); LPO adoption gradual, ACC adoption platform-based.
- ACC provides 90% power savings vs. AEC; each rack has 100–200 cables, each with two connectors; ACC encroaches on both AEC and DAC markets.
- Force sensing acquisition (from QUVO/Next Input) has 175+ patents; first shipment made last week; revenue contribution immaterial; integration successful.
- OpEx increase from sensing and data center R&D; Q4 OpEx expected to deliver similar returns.
- Mgmt stance: Bullish — LPO and ACC both drive revenue acceleration; force sensing is a technology tuck-in with healthy future synergy.
