    摘要: Various embodiments relate to wired local area networks. A method may include detecting, at a node in a wired local area network, at least one event. A physical layer device of the network node is configured to implement a physical level collision avoidance (PLCA) sublayer. The at least one event may include at least one of an amount of data stored in a first-in-first-out (FIFO) buffer of the node being at least a threshold amount, and a received packet being a precision time protocol (PTP) packet incurring variable delay. The method may further include emulating a collision at the node in response to the at least one detected event.

    摘要: Synchronization for audio systems and related systems and circuitry are disclosed. An audio system includes a word select line of a digital audio interface, a serial clock line of the digital audio interface, and hardware circuitry. The hardware circuitry is configured to provide a word select signal to the word select line and a serial clock signal to the serial clock line. The word select signal is configured to indicate channels of a serial data signal provided to a serial data line of the digital audio interface. The hardware circuitry is also configured to synchronize the serial clock signal to a clock reference stream of an audio stream communicated via a network interface.

    摘要: A microcontroller includes a packet matching circuit, a hardware timer circuit, and a processor. The packet matching circuit is configured to match contents of received packets to the microcontroller and identify whether a packet has been received. The hardware timer circuit is configured to provide a synchronization timestamp based on a signal from the packet matching circuit that a synchronization packet has been matched, and provide a follow-up timestamp based on a signal from the packet matching circuit that a follow-up packet has been matched after reception of the synchronization packet. The processor is configured to adjust a clock base to determine a synchronized clock base based upon the synchronization timestamp and upon the follow-up timestamp.
