Abstract
An auto-detection system and method for a network transceiver that allows the network transceiver to switch from a first rate mode to a second rate mode automatically. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) an error counter, coupled to a receive input of the network transceiver, that accumulates a count of code violations while the network transceiver is operating in the first rate mode and (2) mode-switching circuitry, coupled to the error counter, that switches the network transceiver to the second rate mode when the count reaches a predetermined value.
