Abstract
One embodiment relates to an integrated circuit configured to perform dynamic transmit equalization of a bi-directional lane. The integrated circuit including an interface between the physical coding and media access control circuitry, and an equalization control circuit which is external to the physical coding circuitry and which is configured to perform the dynamic transmit equalization using said interface. Another embodiment relates to a transceiver circuit which includes physical coding circuitry and media access control circuitry. The transceiver circuit further includes an interface between the physical coding circuitry and the media access control circuitry and an equalization controller which is external to the physical coding circuitry and which is configured to perform dynamic transmit equalization using said interface. The interface is configured to provide transmit coefficient data in a time-multiplexed signal format from the media access control circuitry to the physical coding circuitry. Other embodiments, aspects, and features are also disclosed.
