PASSAGE™ L20
High-density Near-Packaged Optics (NPO) and On-Board Optics (OBO) solution. Enabling scalable, high-bandwidth optical interconnects for AI infrastructure.
The NPO/OBO Advantage
Passage L20 brings the power of Lightmatter's photonic technology to Near-Packaged and On-Board Optics form factors.
Near-Packaged Optics (NPO)
Not every deployment requires a chip-package modification. Our Near-Packaged Optics (NPO) delivers the flexibility and performance of Lightmatter’s advanced interconnect technology in a modular, highly accessible format.
By deploying an L-Series module directly on the PCB, you instantly gain the high bandwidth and long reach of optics without modifying your existing package.
On-Board Optics (OBO)
For longer reach applications and enhanced signal integrity, the On-Board Optics (OBO) configuration utilizes a retimer to extend the reach between the Passage L20 and the host ASIC.
This architecture allows for more flexible placement on the PCB, enabling optimized thermal management and board layout while maintaining the high bandwidth.
