Abstract
A system is provided on an Integrated Multiport Repeater (IMR) to monitor the activity of the IMR when the repeater is in minimum mode. Through this system the serial output pin outputs status based upon inputs at two input pin the signal in and the clock signal. In a preferred embodiment there are four different status outputs, partition, loopback/link, Bitrate and SQE/Polarity. This system finds use in low end applications where complex control circuitry is not desired.
