Abstract
Systems that provide integrated circuit device circuitry having an integrated optical-electronic interface for high-speed off-device communications are provided. An optical-electronic interface may be incorporated into an integrated circuit device, freeing up some or all of the electrical I/O pins of the integrated circuit device. Transceiver I/O channels may be provided on an integrated circuit device that can be switched between electrical and optical transceiver I/O channels.
