Abstract:
1. A high-speed serial bit stream interface that communicatively couples a line side media to a communication Application Specific Integrate Circuit (ASIC), the high-speed serial bit stream interface comprising: a line side interface that communicatively couples to the line side media, that receives a RX signal therefrom, and that transmits a conditioned TX signal thereto; a board side interface that communicatively couples to the communication ASIC, that receives a TX signal therefrom, and that transmits a conditioned RX signal thereto; a RX signal conditioning circuit communicatively coupled between an RX portion of the line side interface and an RX portion of the board side interface; a TX signal conditioning circuit communicatively coupled between a TX portion of the line side interface and a TX portion of the board side interface; wherein the RX signal conditioning circuit and the TX signal conditioning circuit operate on a serviced signal including the RX signal and the TX signal, respectively, and each of the RX signal conditioning circuit and the TX signal conditioning circuit include:
