Abstract:
The present application relates to a reconfigurable analog front-end circuit and a reconfigurable Ethernet transceiver with a reconfigurable analog front-end circuit. The circuit is reconfigurable using the at least one signal-path switching element controlled by a mode signal to operationally establish a first or a second signal path. The first signal path comprises an optional first signal-conditioning section and a shared ADC. The second signal path comprises an optional second signal-conditioning section, an upstream ADC and the shared ADC. The signal paths are selectively switched in response to a mode signal.

Claim (Index 1):
A reconfigurable analog front-end circuit, comprising:\n an analog signal input for receiving an analog input signal; an upstream analog-to-digital converter (ADC); a shared ADC; at least one signal-path switching element; and a digital signal output for outputting a digital output signal, which is a digital representation of the analog input signal, wherein the circuit is reconfigurable using the at least one signal-path switching element controlled by a mode signal, which is indicative of one of a first mode and a second mode, wherein in response to the mode signal indicative of the first mode, a first signal path is selectively switched by the at least one signal-path switching element and the analog input signal received at the analog signal input flows along the first signal path, which comprises the shared ADC and a sampling frequency of the shared ADC is set at a first value, wherein in response to the mode signal indicative of the second mode, a second signal path is selectively switched by the at least one signal-path switching element and the analog input signal received at the analog signal input flows along the second signal path, which comprises the upstream ADC and the shared ADC and the sampling frequency of the shared ADC is set at a second value.
