Methods and circuits utilizing a two stage adaptation algorithm to determine the optimal code for an equalizer to compensate a received signal is disclosed. In the first stage, a coarse tuning algorithm is used to choose a range of codes based on the amplitude of the received signal. The chosen codes will be used as reference points in the second stage. In the second stage, a fine tuning algorithm is used to select a code in the range of reference codes determined in stage one. The fine tuning algorithm looks to the status of the data lock signal generated by the clock recovery circuit. If the data lock signal does not indicate a lock, the fine tuning algorithm cycles through the range of reference codes. If the data lock signal indicates a lock, then that particular code is continued to be used for the equalizer.

A programmable LED display system is disclosed. The system includes a programmable controller, a driver operative to generate a control signal in response to a signal provided by the programmable controller, and a display device operative to provide a visual representation of the state of the system in response to the control signal. The system also includes means for determining which state condition is displayed when more than one state condition exists.

A transceiver circuit having 10 mb and 100 mb transmit and receive circuitries using the power saving methods allows for power consumption of the transceiver circuit to be significantly reduced. This is accomplished by providing each defined subcircuit with its own power supply and means of activation and deactivation. However, the method for activating and deactivating digital subcircuits and analog subcircuits are different and therefore different types of control signals and methods are provided. Furthermore, there are two general types of power-saving situations. The first type is near total circuit power-down and the second type is partial circuit power-down. In yet another embodiment, a method for minimizing energy usage during the idle period is utilized.

The network device includes a transceiver, a pattern generation unit and a pattern recognition unit. The transceiver connects to a communications medium. The pattern generation unit connects to the transceiver. The pattern generation unit is configured to generate a first code word in response to a self-test signal. The pattern recognition unit connects to the communications medium and a network entity. The pattern recognition unit is configured to receive the first code word from the transceiver and to determine whether the first code word includes a loop back pattern. The pattern recognition unit is configured to generate a second code based upon the first code word and to include in the second code word a pattern different from the first code word.
