Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd (NASDAQ: CRDO) announced the launch of its Robin optical digital signal processor family designed for AI-driven data center networks. The company said the Robin 800G and 400G devices are built on its sixth-generation DSP architecture.

The Robin family includes six variants targeting different applications, from 400G to 800G speeds. The devices feature integrated laser drivers capable of operating up to 3.3Vpp and use a compact substrate that Credo claims saves up to 50% PCB space compared to competing devices.

The product line includes both fully retimed transceivers and Linear Receive Optics variants with integrated Silicon Photonics and EML drivers. Credo said the devices are designed for manufacturing using standard PCB materials and surface-mount technology processes.

"The Robin family of optical DSPs introduces a truly differentiated solution to the massive 800G market," said Chris Collins, AVP of Sales & Optical Product Marketing at Credo. "By substantially reducing the footprint, integrating low‑power laser drivers, and easing supply‑chain constraints, our customers simplify PCB design, improve yields, and enhance margins."

Industry analyst Bob Wheeler from LightCounting noted that 800G and 400G transceivers are forecasted to represent the majority of AI transceiver shipments in 2026-2027 at over 120 million units combined.

The Robin DSP family is available now, according to the company's announcement.
