Abstract
A device includes physical layer (PHY) circuitry including a physical coding sublayer, where the PHY circuitry is configured to alternatively support at least two different power control settings. The device further includes an interface to couple the PHY circuitry to a media access control (MAC) layer, where the interface comprises a set of data pins, a set of command pins, a set of status pins, one or more clock pins, and a plurality of power control pins to receive an indication of a particular one of the at least two power control settings. The PHY circuitry is to apply parameters corresponding to the particular control setting during operation based on the indication.
