Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Extended PHY addressing." This invention discloses a method and apparatus for extending PHY addressing in a telecommunications device beyond the number of PHYS that may be directly addressed over a bidirectional serial management control bus. The invention employs a management bus protocol that utilizes a predetermined number of address bits for PHY addressing. It features a plurality of serial bidirectional management control buses, with multiple PHYS coupled to each bus. A control processor, in conjunction with control logic, selects one of the management control buses as the active bus, allowing communication between the processor and a selected PHY. State machines within the programmable array logic enable buffers within the control logic, allowing the processor to write or read information from a PHY on the selected control bus. This innovation allows any desired number of PHYS to be addressed by a single control processor within the telecommunications device.
Another significant patent is for a "Coupler for minimizing EMI emissions." This invention involves a conductive coupler that electrically connects a conductive housing of an electronic device, such as a transceiver, to a conductive bulkhead. The coupler ensures a reliable connection, allowing the electronic device to be accessible through an opening in the bulkhead while maintaining a low impedance connection. The coupler comprises a conductive sleeve and tabs that capture the bulkhead when urged into a mounting position. Resilient conductive members extend outward from the device housing, ensuring an electrical connection between the device and the coupler when mounted.
