Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices are provided for a multiplexed serial media independent interface (--N,). One system for handling data includes a physical layer (PHY) circuit (--N,--N) operating at a first rate including a number of ports (--P), a media access control (MAC) circuit (--N) operating at the first rate including a number of ports, and a multiplexed serial media independent interface (--N,) between the MAC circuit (--N) and the PHY circuit (--N,--N) operating at a second rate, which is greater than the first rate. The interface (--N,) includes a number of conductors and is configured to communicate data between the MAC circuit (--N) and the PHY circuit (--N,--N) via four conductors per up to eight ports (--P) of the PHY circuit (--N,--N).
