    Abstract: An interface couples a controller to a physical layer (PHY) block, where the interface includes a set of data pins comprising transmit data pins to send data to the PHY block and receive data pins to receive data from the PHY block. The interface further includes a particular set of pins to implement a message bus interface, where the controller is to send a write command to the PHY block over the message bus interface to write a value to at least one particular bit of a PHY message bus register, bits of the PHY message bus register are mapped to a set of control and status signals, and the particular bit is mapped to a recalibration request signal to request that the PHY block perform a recalibration.

    Abstract: A device includes physical layer (PHY) circuitry including a physical coding sublayer, where the PHY circuitry is configured to alternatively support at least two different power control settings. The device further includes an interface to couple the PHY circuitry to a media access control (MAC) layer, where the interface comprises a set of data pins, a set of command pins, a set of status pins, one or more clock pins, and a plurality of power control pins to receive an indication of a particular one of the at least two power control settings. The PHY circuitry is to apply parameters corresponding to the particular control setting during operation based on the indication.
