Power dissipation benefits of Driverless modulators would only be realized if the entire facility went driverless. Unfortunately, that's probably not going to happen any time soon.

I'm not going to make any estimates on the amount of power savings as I'm not up on the specifics. I'm not in the datacenter biz as I'm one of those nasty defense contractors.

However, my original statement still stands...if a modulator is able to be driven directly from CMOS, then there is no requirement for a Modulator Driver which contains an inefficient, lossy GaAs wideband amplifier that consumes a lot of power.

Multiply that times millions of channels and the savings become significant.
