    Abstract: A device includes a network interface that includes a physical coding sublayer (PCS) unit. The PCS unit receives an Ethernet packet. The PCS unit encode the Ethernet packet into a transmission frame that includes a first set of bit fields corresponding to contents of the Ethernet packet and a second set of bit fields corresponding to control information for the encoding. The PCS unit computes a validity value of the transmission frame, wherein the validity value is based on the first set of bit fields included in the transmission frame. The PCS unit inserts the validity value of the transmission frame into one or more idle bit fields in the second set of bit fields included in the transmission frame. The PCS unit processes the transmission frame for sending to a receiving device over a physical medium.

    Abstract: A transceiver to communicate in a vehicle via a single twisted-pair Ethernet cable includes a transmitter and a receiver, an analog front end, an equalizer, and a controller. The transmitter transmits signals via the single twisted-pair Ethernet cable. The receiver receives signals via the single twisted-pair Ethernet cable. The analog front end receives a first signal received by the transceiver via the single twisted-pair Ethernet cable and outputs a second signal. The equalizer includes a notch filter to cancel electromagnetic interference from the second signal. The controller makes a frequency response of the equalizer independent of the electromagnetic interference by controlling tap values of the notch filter. The controller controls gain of one or more of the analog front end and the equalizer based on the frequency response of the equalizer.

    Abstract: Various aspects of this disclosure describe detecting a signal and measuring power with a multi-band filter. Examples include a signal detection and power measurement module in a receiver capable of detecting a training signal and calculating a reliable power measurement in the presence of narrowband interference. A received signal is filtered by a multi-band filter comprising a plurality of sub-band filters. For instance, sub-band filters may be bandpass filters with non-overlapping pass-bands. A training signal is detected by comparing powers of each of the outputs of the sub-band filters to a plurality of thresholds. For example, each sub-band may be assigned a different threshold value. Responsive to detecting a training signal, a power measurement is determined from at least one sub-band filter output. A gain is set based on the determined power measurement, and applied in the receiver.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with testing a cable are described. According to one embodiment, an integrated circuit device includes a transmitter, a receiver, cable tester logic and a cable test control logic. The transmitter is configured to transmit signals to a cable. The receiver is configured to receive signals from the cable. The cable tester logic includes an echo tester configured to identify peaks corresponding to echo canceller coefficients that model an impulse response of reflected signals received by the receiver and a power-based cable tester configured to determine a power-based cable length based on an attenuation of a signal received from the link partner. The cable test control logic is configured to selectively activate one or both of the echo tester and the power-based tester and to determine a cable length based, at least in part, on the power-based cable length and the identified peaks.

    Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and other embodiments associated with reliably determining signal loss over a data communication channel have been described. According to one embodiment, a method includes receiving input signals at an input of a serializer/deserializer device and equalizing the input signals to form equalized signals which compensate for frequency response distortion. The method also includes analyzing the equalized signals to determine whether peak amplitudes of the equalized signals are within a range of amplitudes defined by two threshold values. Furthermore, the method includes analyzing the equalized signals to determine whether logic levels of the equalized signals correspond to a sequence of a same logic level. The method further includes generating a signal absent indicator when the peak amplitudes of the equalized signals are within the range, or when the logic levels of the equalized signals correspond to the sequence of the same logic level.
