    Abstract: A wakeup circuit includes an amplification stage circuit and a filter stage circuit. The amplification stage circuit is configured to, in response to receiving an input signal, generate an amplified digital signal that is proportional to the input signal. The filter stage circuit is configured to, in response to receiving a threshold number of toggles of the amplified digital signal within a pre-defined time period (such as one clock period of a clock signal), generate a wakeup signal as an output signal of the filter stage circuit.

    Abstract: Described examples include Ethernet physical layer (PHY) interface integrated circuits with transmit interface circuitry for transmitting data to an Ethernet network through a magnetic interface, which includes a voltage mode first amplifier with an output that generates a first voltage signal from a supply voltage according to a data input signal. The transmit interface circuit also includes a feedforward second amplifier circuit with an output stage that operates in a first mode to generate a current signal from the supply voltage according to the first voltage signal and to provide the current signal to the first amplifier output to boost a peak voltage at the output above the supply voltage to facilitate support for higher peak signal voltage swings for 10Base-T applications while using 2.5 volt or other low voltage supply levels.

    Abstract: A system for data transmission includes a physical (PHY) layer which has a rate detection module which determines an adopted clock rate. The rate detection module provides a rate detection signal indicative of the adopted clock rate. The PHY layer includes a reference clock generator which has an input coupled to receive the rate detection signal and an output to provide a reference clock output. The PHY layer includes a PHY interface which has a first input coupled to receive the reference clock output, a data input and a data output. The PHY interface receives data from a MAC interface at the data input and transmits data to the MAC interface through the data output responsive to the reference clock output.

    Abstract: A receiver circuit includes an interleaved ADC, a first delay circuit, a second delay circuit, a first processing channel, a second processing channel, and an interleaving ADC timing error detector circuit. The interleaved ADC includes a first ADC and a second ADC in parallel. The first delay circuit delays a first clock signal provided to the first ADC. The second delay circuit delays a second clock signal provided to the second ADC. The first processing channel processes data samples provided by the first ADC, and includes a first slicer. The second processing channel processes data samples provided by the second ADC, and includes a second slicer. The interleaving ADC timing error detector circuit controls delay of the first delay circuit and the second delay circuit based on an output signal of the first slicer, and an output signal or an input signal of the second slicer.
