Abstract
In some embodiments, provided are circuits and approaches for responding to wake requests over a data bus such as with a USB interface. An interconnect PHY may be placed into an aggressive power reduction mode and in response to a detected wake request on the bus, respond in a sufficient time by keeping at least a portion of a transmitter data path in the PHY powered on during the reduced power mode and responding to the wake request while the PHY re-boots in the background.
