Why use a DSP for a 200G optical module

DSP-based Optical Modules place high-speed analog-to-digital converters and digital signal processing inside the pluggable transceiver. As data centers scale beyond 100G, architects face a foundational choice: deploy DSP-based or all-analog solutions for 200G links. Ara features eight 200Gbps/channel PAM4 host electrical interfaces, and an octal 200Gbps/l...
