20100284419 | Auto-Selection of SGMII or SERDES Pass-Through Modes - Methods and systems for operating a physical layer device (“PHY”) in an Ethernet network include methods and systems for detecting active link partners and for selecting a mode of operation based on detected active link partners, without user intervention. The PHY monitors fiber link media and copper link media for active link partners. The PHY selects a mode of operation according to detected active link partners. For example, a serial gigabit media independent (“SGMII”) mode of operation is selected when an active copper link partner is detected and an active fiber link partner is not detected. Similarly, a serialize/deserialize (“SerDes”) pass-through mode of operation is selected when an active fiber link partner is detected and an active copper link partner is not detected. The PHY interfaces with the active copper link partner when the SGMII mode of operation is selected. Conversely, the PHY interfaces with the active fiber link partner when the SerDes pass-through mode of operation is selected. The SGMII or SerDes pass-through mode of operation can be prioritized for when active copper and fiber link partners are detected. The prioritized mode can be user selectable or factory set. The invention optionally powers down circuitry associated with an unselected mode of operation. | 11-11-2010 |

20130049469 | POWER COMBINING IN POWER OVER ETHERNET SYSTEMS - A technique for combining power to a single load from multiple power supplies using power over Ethernet (PoE) is disclosed. Each power supply is coupled to associated power sourcing equipment (PSE) providing PoE, and each PSE has a current limit. The power supplies supply approximately the same voltage, but the output voltages are typically not exactly equal. All the power supplies are connected via diodes to a common load terminal. The power supply outputting the highest voltage first supplies power to the load terminal, since only its diode is forward biased, until a PoE current limit is reached. Then its duty cycle is limited. The load terminal voltage is then inherently lowered to cause the diode of the power supply with the next highest output voltage to connect it to the load to supply additional power to the load as the first power supply continues to supply its limited current. | 02-28-2013 |
20150091391 | DETECTION AND CLASSIFICATION SCHEME FOR POWER OVER ETHERNET SYSTEM - In a method performed by a PoE system, a PSE provides data and operating voltage over Ethernet wires to a PD. Before the full PoE voltage is supplied, the PSE generates a low current signal received by the PD. A circuit in the PD, connected across its input terminals, has a characteristic analog response to the PSE signal corresponding to the PD's PoE requirements, such as whether the PD is a Type 1 or Type 2 PD. The circuit may be a certain value capacitor, zener diode, resistor, or other circuit. The PSE may generate a fixed current, fixed voltage, or time varying signal. Upon the PSE sensing the magnitude of the analog signal response at a particular time, the PSE associates the response with the PoE requirements of the PD. The PSE then applies the full PoE voltage in accordance with the PD's PoE requirements. | 04-02-2015 |

20150019884 | PD IN POE SYSTEM HAVING REDUNDANT PSE CHANNEL INPUTS - A Powered Device (PD) in a PoE system has two input channels, each being coupled to a separate Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) for increased reliability. A first PD controller is coupled to the first channel to perform hand-shaking and closes a first Power Good (PWRGD) switch when the PoE voltage is detected on the first channel. A second PD controller is coupled to the second channel to perform hand-shaking and closes a second PWRGD switch when the PoE voltage is detected on the second channel. A diode bridge couples both channels to a single regulating power supply that supplies power to a load. Auxiliary switches are controlled by the PWRGD signals so that only the first channel or the second channel is coupled to the diode bridge in the event that both channels receive the respective PoE voltages. Therefore, hot standby is provided using only one power supply. | 01-15-2015 |

The method samples the amplitude of the analog reference signal using the system clock signal and converts the sampled analog reference signal into a digitized reference signal. In response to comparing the digitized reference signal to an ideal digitized reference signal, the phase error correction for the system clock signal is derived. The phase error correction at a first instance of time can be applied to the digitized data signal, previously converted from an analog data signal sampled at a first instance of time with the system clock signal. | 03-13-2014 |
20150015313 | FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER JITTER CORRECTION - A system and method are provided for frequency multiplication jitter correction. The method accepts an analog reference signal having a first frequency, and using the analog reference signal, derives a system clock signal having a second frequency, greater than the first frequency. A PLL using a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is one example of a frequency multiplier.
