INTERCONNECTS

Optical engines for co- or near-packaged applications

Optimize your network for tomorrow’s ultra-dense, high-XPU-count AI factories. By minimizing the length of ASIC-to-optics interconnects, co-packaged and near-packaged optical (CPO/NPO) implementations significantly reduce power consumption, allowing this critical resource to be redirected towards XPU operations. Additionally, CPO/NPO architectures reduce latency and support higher optical port densities.

Benefits

  1. Reduce system power

    Linear architectures such as CPO/NPO eliminate the need for local signal conditioning digital signal processors (DSPs) or retimers, significantly reducing power consumption

  2. Maximize shoreline efficiency

    High-density CPO/NPO optical engines enable total ASIC I/O capacity to approach petabit scale

  3. Service lasers in the field

    By using external light source modules, lasers can be changed out on-site if required

Vesta optical engines

Gain exceptional shoreline efficiency with best-in-class bandwidth density. The robust and highly scalable design of the Vesta optical engines uses industry-proven architectures manufactured with a high-volume silicon photonics process. Multiple form factor options include land grid array (LGA) and flexible co-packaged connector (CPX).

Benefits

  1. High density and low power

    Maximize ASIC data throughput while minimizing power consumption with the most dense, lowest power CPO/NPO solution available

  2. System flexibility support

    Enable the use of high-density sockets with their compact size, allowing both co-packaged copper and co-packaged optics to be integrated into a single, reconfigurable PCB design

  3. Open ecosystem

    Empower you to develop best-in-class network elements by independently selecting optimal ASIC and interconnect solutions
