Abstract
An Ethernet transceiver is disclosed. The Ethernet transceiver includes transceiver circuitry having receiver circuitry to receive refresh signals during corresponding refresh cycles from a link partner during a low-power idle mode of operation. Each refresh signal has a refresh period, and where a quiet period is interposed between successive refresh cycles. Signal quality detection circuitry, during the low-power idle mode, determines a measure of signal quality associated with the received refresh signals. Subsequent refresh cycles exhibit at least one of an adjusted refresh period or an adjusted quiet period based on the measure of signal quality.
