Abstract
The disclosure relates to a controller and a transceiver and associated software and methods. A controller for communicating with a transceiver in a network node having a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation, the controller comprising: a first-data-terminal for communicating with the transceiver; and a second-data-terminal for communicating with the transceiver, in which the controller is configured to: in the second mode, determine receive-data based on a first-data-signal at the first-data-terminal and a second-data-signal at the second-data-terminal; determine that a change of mode from the second mode to the first mode is required; and in response to determining that a change of mode from the second mode to the first mode is required, provide a controller-mode-signal that instructs the transceiver to operate in the first mode rather than the second mode, wherein the controller-mode-signal is provided by simultaneously driving a first current on the first-data-terminal and a second current on the second-data-terminal.
