Abstract:
The present invention discloses a network interface apparatus comprising two power regulators, one of which is a system power regulator for supplying a first supply voltage to a physical layer and a medium access control layer in the network interface apparatus, and the other one is an uninterrupted power regulator for supplying a second supply voltage to a power management module. When the network interface apparatus operates in a disconnection status, the system power regulator is disabled so as not to supply the first supply voltage, and the uninterrupted power regulator still provides the second supply voltage to the power management module.
