Abstract
Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for a hybrid physical layer that supports data communications using both Ethernet and ASA. Ethernet and ASA are communication standards that are commonly used in automotive environments; however, are not interoperable. The hybrid physical layer supports data communications using both Ethernet and ASA. For example, the hybrid physical layer may be configured into either a first mode of operation to support data communications using Ethernet or a second mode of operation to support data communications using ASA. Devices utilizing the hybrid physical layer can therefore be used with other components that utilize either communication standard.
