Abstract
A redriver powers up a high-speed channel within a time window sufficient to satisfy the requirements of a CIO mode of operation. The redriver includes a signal detector for a channel and control logic to activate the channel within a time window that satisfies operation in a CIO mode. The control logic may activate the channel by controlling a first bias current for a first circuit of the channel based on a signal detected by the signal detector. The first bias current may be greater than a second bias current for the first circuit during a mode different from the CIO mode. These features may form any linear or limiting redriver for a faster power-up time.
