Abstract: A system and method implements a wakeup function in a frequency-modulation based data communication network. In particular, a wakeup function is implemented which transmits a wake up data pattern (Wake On Signal) over the data links between network nodes in a frequency-modulation based data communication system to enable an inactive node to be awaken and transition to an active or operational power mode.

Abstract: A control pilot monitoring module in an on-board charger of an electrical vehicle includes a measure circuit and an evaluate circuit to perform the control pilot line monitoring to determine the operational state of one or more charging inlets. In response to detecting an active charging inlet having a connection to an EVSE, the control pilot monitoring module issues a control signal to activate or wake up a charge controller of the on-board charger to initiate the charging operation. In some embodiment, in the case of a dual charging inlet electrical vehicle, the control pilot line monitoring module further includes a switch circuit to switchably connect signals associated with the active charging inlet to the charge controller. In this manner, a single charge controller can be used to support dual charging inlet electric vehicle.
