[{"type":"text","content":"\nOptimized DSP Reduces Module Power and Cost, Enabling Robust System Performance\n\n\n SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nCredo Technology Group Holding Ltd (NASDAQ: CRDO) today announced availability of an industry first, the Dove 850 800G Digital Signal Processor (DSP) IC, optimized for Linear Receive Optics (LRO), also known within the industry as Half-retimed Linear Optics (HALO). In an LRO transceiver or Active Optical Cable (AOC), only the transmit path from the electrical input to the optical line side output includes a DSP for signal retiming and equalization. The Dove 850 is a unidirectional 8 x 112 Gb/s DSP purpose built for this LRO architecture.\n\nThis press release features multimedia.

(Graphic: Business Wire)\nAs hyperscale data center AI deployments grow rapidly, high-speed optical transceivers and AOCs are critical to connecting thousands of GPUs. Given the huge volume of these optical components, improvements in energy efficiency are essential. The Dove 850 addresses this need while enabling robust system performance, with the added benefit of reducing cost.\n\n\n“Dove 850 reduces DSP power by up to 50% and optimizes cost while providing customers with an easy to use, robust, and interoperable solution,” said Chris Collins, Vice President of Sales and Optical Product Marketing at Credo. “Our lead transceiver and hyperscale customers recognize the value of this solution and we have already shipped Dove 850 samples and evaluation boards to address the market need.”\n\n\nTransceiver vendors can further optimize the module cost with Dove 850 by employing a variety of optics, including VCSELs, silicon photonics, EML or thin-film lithium niobate as dictated by the application requirements.\n\n\nA Dove 850 based optical transceiver aims to address the inherent weaknes...
