  • Publication number: 20260213915
    Abstract: A system and method for selectively retiming signals in a high-performance network. The system includes a smart repeater circuit with input and output crossbars and retimers configured to recondition high-loss channels while bypassing low-loss channels. A sniffing mechanism dynamically assesses channel quality and adjusts routing configurations. In an advanced electrical circuit switch (AECS) system, the smart repeater integrates digital signal processors (DSPs) and analog crossbars, utilizing out-of-band (OOB) signaling for configuration, channel routing, and fault-tolerant operations. A method for channel assessment includes sequentially connecting a sniffer to input channels in a round-robin manner, evaluating channel metrics, and routing signals based on the assessments. Feedback from output channels, via in-band (IB) or OOB signaling, is used to refine routing configurations. These features support high-performance applications, providing selective retiming and dynamic signal management.
