Abstract
A physical layer module and a network module are provided. The network module includes the physical layer module and a media access control module. The physical layer module includes a group decoder, an input selection module, and a device module. The group decoder decodes a common input data signal generated according to a management data input/output signal to generate a group selection signal. The input selection module includes X input circuits being classified into M groups. The X input circuits generate X device input data according to the common input data signal and the group selection signal. The device module includes K physical layer devices classified into M groups. The K physical devices receive X device input data from the X input circuits. An m-th group corresponds to at least one input circuit and N[m] physical layer devices.
