  • Redriver to autonomously detect cable orientation
    Patent number: 11688981
    Abstract: A redriver includes a plurality of channels coupled to an interface, a number of detectors coupled to the plurality of channels, and a controller that determines an orientation of the interface based on states detected by the number of detectors. The controller determines that the interface is in a first orientation when a first combination of states is detected for the plurality of channels, and determines that the interface is in a second orientation when a second combination of states is detected for the plurality of channels.

  • Power consumption management in protocol-based redrivers
    Patent number: 11481015
    Abstract: A redriver chip includes a controller and a plurality of circuits coupled to the channel. The controller adjusts a set of parameters of the plurality of circuits to have first values during a first mode of operation and second values during a second mode of operation. The first values generate a first level of power consumption during the first mode of operation, and the second values generate a second level of power consumption during the second mode of operation. The first level of power consumption is lower than the second level of power consumption, and the first mode of operation corresponding to a low-power mode of the redriver chip.
