  • System and method for performing automatic recovery after a system hard fault has occurred in a controller of an optical communications module
    Patent number: 10936399
    Abstract: An optical communications module performs automatic recovery from a system hard fault that occurs when a controller of the module detects a particular error. The controller outputs a heart beep signal having a preselected attribute from a first port thereof if an error check operation performed by the controller determines that an error has not occurred. A second port of the controller receives a chip reset signal from automatic control logic that is external to the controller. The automatic recovery logic monitors a first port thereof to determine whether the heart beep signal having the preselected attribute is present at or absent from the first port of the automatic recovery logic and outputs a chip reset signal from a second port of the automatic recovery logic to the second port of the controller.
