ABSTRACT:
An apparatus includes a SerDes circuit and a link control block (LCB). The SerDes circuit is a first end of a SerDes circuit pair of a SerDes lane. A SerDes lane includes the SerDes circuit pair coupled by a communications medium. The LCB includes an error tracking circuit and a controller. The controller includes an error recovery module configured to retry a data communication when an error is detected and deactivate the SerDes lane when a rate of errors on the SerDes lane exceeds a threshold error rate value. Other devices, systems, and methods are disclosed.
