Abstract
A transmitter module, a receiver module and a communication system for exchanging Ethernet Medium Access Control (MAC) frames on a single Multipoint Low Voltage Differential Signaling (M-LVDS) line. The transmitter module includes: a first transmitter media-independent interface (MII) including parallel data lines for receiving bits of an Ethernet MAC frame to be transmitted on the single M-LVDS line: an 8b/10b encoding unit adapted to encode 8-bit words to produce 10-bit words, wherein the 8-bit words include bits of the Ethernet MAC frame received on the parallel data lines of the first transmitter MII; a serializing unit adapted to serialize the 10-bits words; and an M-LVDS transmitter unit for transmitting the serialized 10-bit words on the single M-LVDS line.
