Abstract:
The present invention is directed to data communication. According to a specific embodiment, the present invention provides technique for loss of signal detection. A loss-of-signal detection (LOSD) device determines an analog signal indicating signal strength by subtracting a threshold offset voltage from an incoming signal. The analog signal is then processed by a switch network of an output stage circuit, which provides a digital output of loss of signal indication at a low frequency (relative to the incoming signal frequency). There are other embodiments as well.

Claim (Index 9):
A communication system comprising:\n a communication link; a receiver comprises: a first input terminal comprising a first inductor and being configured to receive a first input signal from the communication link; an equalizer module being configured to process the first input signal; a core module comprising a first transistor and being coupled to the first input terminal, the core module being configured to generate an input strength signal using at least the first input signal, the first transistor being coupled to the first input terminal; and an output module comprising a latch, the output module being configured to generate a loss-of-signal indicator using at least the input strength signal and an offset associated with the first transistor and the second transistor.
