Abstract:
Provided is an electric transmission cable module that has both a squelch function and an AGC function, and realizes a highly accurate function while suppressing an increase in chip cost. Disclosed is an electric transmission cable module including a first amplifier that compensates for a cable loss of a conductive cable, a second amplifier having a variable gain function, a third amplifier allowed to transit between a normal state for amplifying a signal and an idle state having smaller power consumption than power consumption in the normal state, a detector that detects a signal level on a signal transmission line between the first amplifier and the third amplifier, an analog-to-digital conversion circuit that converts the signal level into a digital signal, a first control circuit that generates a gain adjustment signal for controlling a gain of the second amplifier based on the digital signal, and a second control circuit that controls transition between the normal state and the idle state of the third amplifier based on the digital signal.

Claim (Index 13):
A transmission loss compensation circuit comprising:\n a linear equalizer connected to a conductive cable; a variable gain amplifier for controlling a level of an output of the linear equalizer; at least one amplifier located behind the variable gain amplifier; a detector that receives at least one of outputs of the linear equalizer and the variable gain amplifier as an input and detects a signal level using a low-pass filter; an auto gain control (AGC) control circuit that controls a gain of the variable gain amplifier based on an output of the detector; and a squelch control circuit that controls power consumption of at least one of the amplifiers based on an output of the detector, wherein the AGC control circuit and the squelch control circuit receive a digital signal obtained by analog-to-digital conversion of an output of the detector as an input and perform control based on the digital signal, or the detector includes a comparator that receives the signal level and a reference value as an input, and the AGC control circuit and the squelch control circuit perform control based on an output of the comparator.
