Abstract
The present application relates to a reconfigurable analog front-end circuit and a reconfigurable Ethernet transceiver with a reconfigurable analog front-end circuit. The circuit is reconfigurable using the at least one signal-path switching element controlled by a mode signal to operationally establish a first or a second signal path. The first signal path comprises an optional first signal-conditioning section and a shared ADC. The second signal path comprises an optional second signal-conditioning section, an upstream ADC and the shared ADC. The signal paths are selectively switched in response to a mode signal.
