Robin 852 is a unidirectional 8 x 106Gbps Digital Signal Processor (DSP) IC optimized for Linear Receive Optics (LRO). 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.

As hyperscale data center AI deployments grow, 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. Robin 852 reduces DSP power by 50% and optimizes cost while providing customers with an easy-to-use, robust, and interoperable solution.
