Bi-directional SerDes for Scale-Up - Line hint:

Context Before
While bidirectional signaling is being used for short-reach (less than 5mm) die-to-die interconnect, what stands out is that NVIDIA has extended this technology to longer reach transmission over copper backplane with a reach of at least 1m.
The challenge with bidirectional signaling is that echo cancellation must be precisely calibrated or slight delays in the generation of the local TX copy can cause link failure. However, if NVIDIA were to continue using the 200G SerDes, doubling the bandwidth would mean doubling the number of copper cables at the backplane, which is a tall order for several reasons.

② Atomic Claim
Blackwell 世代已在 backplane 塞入約 5,000 條 copper cables，並在大規模部署下產生不可忽視的 reliability failure modes。
