Abstract

See full text

Systems, apparatuses and methods are disclosed for using elastic buffers in fiber channel systems over twisted pair links. One such system includes a fiber channel host device and another fiber channel host device communicatively coupled to the fiber channel device over a twisted pair link. The system also includes a slave physical layer (PHY) circuit residing in the fiber channel host device and a master PHY circuit residing in the another fiber channel host device. The master PHY circuit is operable to transmit, using a reference clock, data from a transmit elastic buffer. The slave PHY circuit is operable to receive the data transmitted by the master PHY circuit and to store the received data using a derived clock recovered from the received data.
