System transparent retimer

摘要: A protocol transparent retimer circuit monitors certain link layer control signals, detects far-end receiver parameters of the partners, and attributes data signal on to determine status operate in accordance with determined status. By combining reducing host device system states into a few states, is largely simplified yet still serves its purpose. The includes controller that employs state machine interpret monitored detected signals an operating corresponding state. approach enables restore integrity forward what ever it receives both downstream upstream directions without frequency alteration.
