Interface circuit that interconnects a media access controller and an optical line termination transceiver module

摘要

A communication system includes an interface that allows a media access controller (MAC) and an optical line termination transceiver module (TM), which have incompatible interfaces, to be connected together. The interface detects a phase relationship required by the TM, and feeds the information back to a processor and memory which places a value into the MAC to adjust the phase relationship.
