LPO transceivers cut power use, lower latency, and boost reliability in data centers, making them ideal for high-speed, energy-efficient optical links. Embodiments of present invention provide a linear-drive pluggable optics (LPO) transceiver. The LPO transceiver includes a receiver path, which includes a receiver optical subassembly (ROSA) converting an input optical signal into an ingress electrical signal; and a linear transimpedance amplifier. An LPO (Linear Pluggable Optics) solution offers considerable power savings for optical interconnect by removing the digital signal processing (DSP) function from the pluggable optical module. Designed to address next-generation short-reach, scale-up compute fabric connectivity requirements, LPO modules enabled by the chipset overcome the reach limitations of passive, DAC cable interconnects.
