Data Center Interconnect Linear Drive Pluggable Optical LPO

Home / Data Center Interconnect Linear Drive Pluggable Optical LPO

One of the most groundbreaking network innovations driving transformations of data centers in 2025 is Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO)—a Digital Signal Processor (DSP)-free optical solution designed to optimize power, cost, and latency. To address this, Macom and NVIDIA first proposed Linear-drive Pluggable Optics (LPO) in 2022. LPO Solution without DSP Traditional high-speed optical modules rely heavily on Digital. (NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, today announced the general availability of a 200G per lane optimized transimpedance amplifier (TIA) and laser driver chipset, enabling 800 Gbps and 1.
