Abstract
A host voltage monitor is provided for a transceiver. The host voltage monitor may include a comparator, which compares two voltages, one representative of the present host voltage, and the other representative of a threshold voltage level for the host voltage, that may indicate an imminent loss of power. Once the threshold is crossed, an alarm and/or a fault warning data packet may be automatically generated before the power fault causes the transceiver to shut down.
