What is in-package optical I/O? A complete, housed chip-to-chip communication interconnect using light instead of copper.
In-package optical I/O is a complete chip-to-chip connectivity solution using light instead of electrical-based I/O methods in a single integrated circuit. The package includes an optical transceiver and switch on a chiplet that connects to an on-chip laser or light source.
