Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for switching between a plurality of inputs each to receive a respective analog signal to be transmitted. In an embodiment, switch circuitry comprises a first input to receive a first signal, a second input to receive a second signal, and one or more T-coil circuits including a first T-coil circuit. A first configuration of the switch circuitry includes a first signal path via a first switch coupled between the first input and a primary input node of the first T-coil circuit. A second configuration of the switch circuitry includes a second signal path via a second switch coupled between the second input and a secondary input node of the first T-coil circuit. In an embodiment, control logic transitions the switch circuitry among a plurality of configurations including the first configuration and the second configuration.

Abstract: Techniques and methods for performing asymmetric, full-duplex communication via a signal line. In an embodiment, a transceiver includes transmit circuitry to transmit a first signal via a node coupled to a signal line, where the first signal is transmitted concurrently with the transceiver receiving a second signal via the node at a substantially different data rate than that of the first signal. In another embodiment, signal processing circuitry of the transceiver detects a composite signal at the node, the composite signal including a combination of the first signal and the second signal. Based on the combination of the first signal and the second signal, the signal processing circuitry generates a processed signal, including the signal processing circuitry reducing a contribution by the first signal. The processed signal is provided to receiver circuitry of the transceiver.
