Abstract
An Ethernet device is disclosed that may reduce transient currents and/or power consumption while entering and exiting a low power mode by selectively powering-on and/or powering-off a number of transceiver components at different times (e.g., in a staggered manner). The transient currents and/or power consumption may be further reduced by assigning different quiet period durations to different transceiver chains, for example, to minimize the number of transceiver components that enter and/or exit the low power mode at the same time.
