  • Reduction of idle power in a communication port
    Patent number: 9811145
    Abstract: Techniques for reducing idle power consumption of a port are described herein. An example method includes determining device presence using a pull-down resistor disposed in a downstream port. The method also includes initiating a low power state of a link between the downstream port and an upstream device. The method also includes disabling the pull-down resistor in response to initiating the low power state.
    Type: Grant

  • Common-mode noise-reduced output transmitter
    Patent number: 7443204
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide a high speed serial transmitter that utilizes a current-mode driver comprising a main driver and a de-emphasis driver. The de-emphasis driver includes a first driver circuit and a complementary second driver circuit that is operably coupled with the first driver circuit. Collectively, the first driver circuit and its complementary second driver circuit work in concert to compensate to correct the lower output common-mode level in de-emphasized bits.
