    摘要: An Ethernet network switch is disclosed. The network switch includes multiple Ethernet ports, each port including Ethernet transceiver circuitry forming one end of an Ethernet link. The switch also includes control logic to, when the switch is connected to multiple Ethernet cables defining Ethernet links, 1) initiate a diagnostic mode of operation, 2) control at least two of the multiple Ethernet links to measure a parameter associated with alien crosstalk, and 3) configure operation parameters for the links based on the measured parameter.

    摘要: Rejecting radio frequency (RF) interference in a communication system. In one aspect, rejecting RF interference includes receiving a signal on a signal path of a receiver from a communication channel, the signal including one or more received signal components having a frequency within a predetermined subset range of frequencies within an operating signal bandwidth of the receiver. The received signal components are attenuated using a notch filter to reduce RF interference obtained during transmission of the signal over the communication channel. In some embodiments, the one or more signal components have been boosted in power at a link partner transmitter connected to the communication channel.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for transferring data along a link with a 10 GBASE-T transceiver at a variable data rate are disclosed. One exemplary method includes detecting a link quality metric; and selecting a symbol transmission rate and a data modulation scheme based on the detected link quality metric. In many implementations, for a selected symbol transmission rate, if the detected link quality metric is less than a link quality threshold, then the selecting of the data modulation scheme is performed such that a data bit per symbol value represented by the selected data modulation scheme is decreased by at least ½ data bit per symbol. The selected symbol transmission rate and the selected modulation together represent a selectable data rate from a selection of data rates.

    摘要: An Ethernet transceiver is disclosed. The Ethernet transceiver includes transceiver circuitry to couple to one end of an Ethernet link. The transceiver circuitry includes transmit circuitry to transmit high-speed Ethernet data along the Ethernet link at a first data rate and receiver circuitry. The receiver circuitry includes adaptive filter circuitry and correlator circuitry. The receiver circuitry is responsive to an inline signal to operate in a low-power alert mode with the adaptive filter circuitry disabled and to receive alert signals from the Ethernet link simultaneous with transmission of the Ethernet data by the transmit circuitry. The alert signals are detected by the correlator circuitry and include a sequence of alert intervals exhibiting encoded data at a second data rate less than the first data rate.

    摘要: An Ethernet transceiver is disclosed. The Ethernet transceiver includes transceiver circuitry having receiver circuitry to receive refresh signals during corresponding refresh cycles from a link partner during a low-power idle mode of operation. Each refresh signal has a refresh period, and where a quiet period is interposed between successive refresh cycles. Signal quality detection circuitry, during the low-power idle mode, determines a measure of signal quality associated with the received refresh signals. Subsequent refresh cycles exhibit at least one of an adjusted refresh period or an adjusted quiet period based on the measure of signal quality.

The second IC includes on-chip conductors to route the first data on-chip to an output interface. The output interface transmits the first data via second conductors formed on the substrate. A third IC chip mounts on the substrate and has a third transfer interface to receive the first data via the second conductors.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for transmitting Ethernet data along an Ethernet link with a BASE-T transceiver are disclosed. One exemplary BASE-T Ethernet transceiver includes an Ethernet data framing module having an input interface to receive Ethernet block data bits at a first data rate. Logic associates the Ethernet block data bits with an auxiliary bit and a number of zero bits. An error encoder is coupled to the logic to encode all of the data bits, auxiliary bit and zero bits into an error encoded transport frame having plural error check bits. A symbol mapper receives the error encoded transport frame and transforms the error encoded transport frame into multiple symbols. A transmitter coupled to the symbol mapper transmits the multiple symbols over an Ethernet link at one of a selection of symbol rates. The data rate of data transmitted over the Ethernet link is based on the number of zero bits.
