Abstract
A high-speed interface between a first network component and a second network component includes a positive voltage input (VINP) and a negative voltage input (VINN) for receiving an input data signal from the first network component; the positive voltage input (VINP) coupled to a negative output circuit (OUTN) and the negative voltage input (VINN) by a positive input bus and a negative input bus, the negative voltage input (VINN) also coupled to a positive output circuit (OUTP). Implementing the high-speed interface calls for applying a bias to the a positive input bus and a negative input bus to periodically multiplex a data signal, thus providing a common receiving path for functional data and wrap data of the data signal.
