Abstract
An aspect of the present invention provides multiple switches in a transceiver, which enable pins provided for transmission and reception to be connected to either a transmit port or a receive port, as desired during operation. As a result, the transceiver can be auto-configured to connect the specific pin, on which signals are being received, to the receive port. Similarly, the transceiver can be auto-configured to connect the specific pin, on which the signals need to be transmitted, to the transmit port. Various design considerations in providing such switches are also described.
