  • Publication number: 20260081638
    Abstract: A Physical Layer (PHY) device, for use in an Ethernet network in a vehicle, includes a link interface and a transceiver. The link interface is configured to connect to a full-duplex Ethernet link. The transceiver is configured to communicate over the full-duplex Ethernet link in a first direction using a High-Data-Rate (HDR) signal having a first data rate, and to communicate over the full-duplex Ethernet link in a second direction, opposite to the first direction, using a Low-Data-Rate (LDR) signal having a second data rate, lower than the first data rate. A frequency spectrum of the LDR signal is contained within a frequency spectrum of the HDR signal.

  • Patent number: 11962674
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide secure, end-to-end high-speed data encoding and communication. In certain embodiments, this is accomplished by modifying a header portion of a data packet received from a first device and complying with a one Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) protocol to create a modified data packet that complies with a faster MIPI protocol. The header portion of the modified data packet is validated during a tunnel mode operation using an error detection process to validate the modified data packet, which can then be securely transmitted to a second device that complies with the faster MIPI protocol.

  • Patent number: 8717052
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for testing semiconductor devices. A semiconductor device includes one or more external terminals configured to receive fuse configuration data from an external source. The semiconductor device also includes a soft-blow circuit to generate a soft-blow signal based on the fuse configuration data, and a fuse circuit that includes a fuse and has first and second operational states corresponding to the fuse being intact and blown, respectively. The fuse circuit is configured to receive the soft-blow signal and to select its operational state to be the first or second operational state based on the received soft-blow signal.
