Abstract
A 10BASE-T1S PHY method and apparatus are provided for receiving an analog MDI signal conveying DME-encoded data at a receiver comparator to generate a digital output signal, processing the digital output signal using a pulse encoder to generate a pulse-coded output signal with pulses generated at each rising or falling transition in the digital output signal, processing the pulse-coded output signal with an output driver to generate a pulse-coded driver output signal that is transmitted to a receiver interface pin RX, processing the pulse-coded driver output signal with an input comparator to generate a pulse-coded comparator output signal, processing the pulse-coded comparator output signal using a pulse decoder to generate a DME-encoded PMA input signal in which timing asymmetries caused by processing at the receiver comparator and/or output driver have been eliminated, and then processing DME-encoded PMA input signal at a digital PHY circuit in the Ethernet PHY.
