Abstract:
A system side interface of a PHY chip used in conjunction with a 100 GBASE backplane, sends and receives data using an NRZ signal format, but at a data rate of between about 26.5 Gbps/per lane to 27.2 Gbps/per lane, which is consistent with the PAM 4 signaling protocol. Thus, chip-to-chip communications between a PHY chip and a switch or controller chip can use an “overclocked” NRZ signaling format, reducing the amount of logic needed, which in turn can reduce signal latency, and reduce the chip area and power consumption required to implement the logic.

Claim (Index 15):
A data processing system including:\n a first PHY chip coupling to a first processing device to a physical communications medium, the first PHY chip configured to communicate with the first processing device via a first signaling protocol at an overclocked signaling rate, the overclocked signaling rate matching a signaling rate associated with a second signaling protocol used by the physical communications medium; and a second PHY chip coupling a second processing device to the physical communications medium, the second PHY chip configured to communicate with the second processing device via the first signaling protocol, and at the overclocked signaling rate.
