    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide echo cancellation power saving management at a cable transceiver. An echo response signal having a first number of signal components is obtained, via an echo cancellation filter. At a first iteration for calculating a first accumulative echo power, a respective echo tap that corresponds to the first iteration is identified. The first accumulative echo power is calculated for the respective iteration by summing powers of outputs from a last echo tap to the respective echo tap. It is then determined whether the first accumulative echo power, exceeds a pre-determined echo power threshold. If the first accumulative echo power exceeds the pre-determined echo power threshold, a first turn-off indication is sent to the echo cancellation filter to turn off all echo taps including and between the last echo tap to the first echo tap.

    Abstract: A controller for a power conversion circuit that includes an inductor, a diode, and a switch. The controller includes a counter configured to determine, based on a first voltage input to the inductor, an on-time of the diode. The on-time of the diode corresponds to an amount of time that the diode is conducting a first current to a load of the power conversion circuit. A current estimation circuit configured to estimate, based on the on-time of the diode and an on-time of the switch, an output current of the power conversion circuit. The on-time of the switch corresponds to an amount of time that the switch is conducting a second current. A pulse width modulator is configured to provide, based on the estimated output current, a gate drive signal to the switch. The gate drive signal selectively transitions the switch between an on state and an off state.

    Abstract: The systems include a transmitter, a receiver, a signal sampler and a cable length calculation unit. The transmitter is configured to transmit a plurality of data symbols at a first data rate via a wired data communication link, and the receiver is configured to receive a reflection signal. The signal sampler is configured to sample the received reflection signal using a phase shift number of shifting sampling phases to generate reflection samples, and combine the reflection samples with different sampling phases to generate a series of reflection samples corresponding to a second data rate higher than the first data rate. The cable length calculation unit is configured to determine a delay parameter from the series of reflection samples, and generate an estimate of a length of the data communication link.

    Abstract: Systems and techniques relating to channel degradation detection for communication systems are described. A described system includes an interface to transmit signals and receive signals via a channel that includes a cable; an echo canceller coupled with the interface, the echo canceller to perform echo cancellation based on echo tap values to remove portions of the transmitted signals that appear as echoes within the received signals; an equalizer coupled with the interface, the equalizer to perform signal equalization based on equalizer tap values, the equalizer tap values being determined based on at least a portion of the received signals to adjust an impulse response of the channel and reduce inter-symbol interference within the received signals; and circuitry configured to determine a return loss channel quality indicator of the channel based on the echo tap values, determine an insertion loss channel quality indicator of the channel based on the equalizer tap values, or both.
