Abstract: A replacement physical layer (PHY) for low-speed Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Express (PCIe) systems is disclosed. In one aspect, an analog PHY of a conventional PCIe system is replaced with a digital PHY. The digital PHY is coupled to a media access control (MAC) logic by a PHY interface for PCIe (PIPE) directly. In further exemplary aspects, the digital PHY may be a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) PHY that includes a serializer and a deserializer. Replacing the analog PHY with the digital PHY allows entry and exit from low-power modes to occur much quicker, resulting in substantial power savings and reduced latency. Because the digital PHY is operable with low-speed communication, the digital PHY can maintain sufficient bandwidth that communication is not unnecessarily impacted by digital logic of the digital PHY.

Abstract: A system, method and device for providing over-current protection to USB ports comprised in a USB hub, whereby a single switch is used to control the power supply to one or more groups of U SB ports based on determinations whether the current drawn by a group of USB ports has exceeded a predefined current limit. Embodiments provide the cost savings associated with gang mode power port switching and the reduced stress on USB components and individualized protection of USB ports associated with individual mode power switching. Embodiments utilize a plurality of current measurement units to measure the current drawn by each group of USB ports supported by a switch and further utilize a power port control logic unit to control the switch based on whether the current measurements have exceeded a current limit.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for provision of a low power, low frequency squelch break protocol are described. In some embodiments, a fixed or variable time transmitter LFPS (Low Frequency Periodic Signaling) mechanism may be used that does not require a handshake and therefore much simpler in implementation than USB3 (Universal Serial Bus 3.0), for example. Also, an embodiment does not require a link common mode to be established and therefore may be optimized to support shorter durations for effecting exit from an electrical idle state that may be established via power-gating, for example. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Abstract translation: 描述了提供低功率，低频静噪中断协议的方法和装置。 在一些实施例中，例如可以使用固定或可变时间发射机LFPS（低频周期性信令）机制，其不需要握手，因此比USB3（通用串行总线3.0）简单得多。 而且，实施例不需要建立链路共同模式，因此可以被优化以支持更短的持续时间，以实现例如通过电源门控建立的电空闲状态的退出。 还公开了其他实施例。
