Bi-directional SerDes for Scale-Up - Line hint:
675
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.
Evidence
Cramming in approximately five thousand copper cables on the backplane at the Blackwell generation has introduced non-trivial reliability failure modes at scale. To double scale-up bandwidth while staying on regular 200G SerDes would require the backplane to double to ten thousand copper cables: only further increasing the manufacturing complexity and likelihood of failure of the system.

② Atomic Claim
在 Blackwell generation，copper backplane 已塞入約 5,000 條 copper cables，並在 scale deployment 下帶來不可忽視的 reliability failure modes。
