Abstract
A transceiver in the form of an integrated small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module is described. The SFP module may include a processor, a hybrid circuit, a transformer, a RJ45 connector and a SFP connector. The processor may be configured to perform functions as a serializer/deserializer (SerDes), a digital signal processor (DSP), an analog front-end and a line driver. The hybrid circuit may be configured to neutralize signals reflected from a transmit direction to a receive direction. The DSP may be configured to support communication according to a Very-high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL) technology such as the G.Fast standard.
Claims18
A transceiver, comprising:
- a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module that comprises:
- a processor configured to perform functions as a serializer/deserializer (SerDes), a digital signal processor (DSP), an analog front-end, and a line driver;
- a hybrid circuit configured to neutralize signals reflected from a transmit direction to a receive direction;
- a transformer;
- a RJ45 connector;
- and
- a SFP connector.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor capable of xDSL/G.FAST modulation and demodulation and inside a non-optical small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module, an input that selects one of a plurality of booting modes as a default booting mode;
- and
- booting, by the processor, in the default booting mode upon the SFP module being plugged into a host platform.
