Methods and apparatus for provision of a low power, low frequency squelch break protocol are described. In some embodiments, a fixed or variable time transmitter LFPS (Low Frequency Periodic Signaling) mechanism may be used that does not require a handshake and therefore much simpler in implementation than USB3 (Universal Serial Bus 3.0), for example. Also, an embodiment does not require a link common mode to be established and therefore may be optimized to support shorter durations for effecting exit from an electrical idle state that may be established via power-gating, for example. Other embodiments are also disclosed. |
