Abstract:
An impendence tuning apparatus is disclosed. The impendence tuning apparatus includes an operation amplifier, a reference resistor, a tuned resistor, a switching module, a current generator, a current detector and a controller. A first input terminal of the operation amplifier receives a basic voltage and the second terminal of the operation amplifier coupled to a first end. The switching module receives a control and coupled the first end to the tuned resistor or the reference resistor accordingly for generating a tuned current or a reference current separately. The current generator receives and mirrors the reference current or the tuned current to generate a first current and a second current. The current detector receives the first and the second currents and outputs current values the first and the second currents to the controller. The controller tunes an impendence of the tuned resistor according to the first and the second currents.
Abstract:
A transceiver device and a power saving method thereof are provided. The transceiver device includes an attenuation estimation module, a transmitter, and a control module. The attenuation estimation module is coupled to a transmission path for estimating an attenuation value caused when a signal passes through the transmission path. The transmitter is coupled to the transmission path, for outputting a transmission signal. The control module is coupled to the attenuation estimation module and the transmitter. When the attenuation value is smaller than a default value, the output power of the transmitter is adjusted to be lower. Thereby, the power consumption of the transceiver device is decreased.

A transceiver device and an impedance matching method are provided. In the impedance matching method, a plurality of matching modes is set. Each matching mode includes a default impedance and a corresponding default power. In addition, one of the matching modes is selected for outputting a transmission signal to a load. Besides, a response signal derived from the transmission signal is received. Further, whether the default impedance is matched with an impedance of the load or not is determined according to a parameter of the response signal. Thereby, the echo signal can be restrained from being generated.
Abstract:
A transceiver apparatus, a receiver and a power saving method thereof are provided. The receiver includes an analog-to-digital converter, an equalizer, a slicer, a delay unit, a decoder, a select unit and a control unit. The analog-to-digital converter transforms a received signal into a digital signal. The equalizer adjusts the digital signal to generate an equalized signal. The slicer receives and slices the equalized signal and generates a sliced signal. The delay unit delays the sliced signal. The decoder determines whether to decode the equalized signal or not according the control signal. The select unit selects one of the output of the delayed sliced signal and the output of the decoder to be an output signal according to a second control signal. The control unit determines whether to enable the control signal and the second control signal according to the state of the sliced signal and the output signal.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to device and method for detecting powered devices connected to a power source equipment in a Power over Ethernet system that provides multiple signal/power channels. A series of inspection signals including one discriminative signal is applied to the respective channels and response signals to the discriminative signal and other detection signals are compared in order to determine whether multiple channels are connected to one single powered device.
