DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The 78Q2132 is a 1/10 Ethernet transceiver. This
dual speed transceiver interfaces to a 1Mbps Home
LAN and a 10BASE-T network. The Home LAN
interface is fully Home Phoneline Networking Alliance
(HomePNA) compliant extending Ethernet over
POTS. The HomePNA interface includes the pulse
encoder and decoder plus transmit and receive line
interface filters. Only a telco transformer and external
protection devices are required to complete the
interface. The 78Q2132 also integrates MII and
General Purpose Serial Interface (GPSI) MAC
interfaces. The 10BASE-T Ethernet channel includes
Manchester ENDEC and transmitter with an on-chip
pulse-shaper and a low-power line driver. The
10BASE-T transceiver interfaces to Category-3
unshielded twisted pair (Cat-3 UTP) cabling. The
HomePNA port is connected to the line via a
HomePNA compatible 1:1 transformer having a
series capacitor in the line side and the Ethernet port
is connected to the line via 1:1 (Rx) and 1.414:1 (Tx)
isolation transformers. No external filtering is
required. Communication to the MAC is accomplished
through an IEEE-802.3 compliant media independent
interface (MII) or GPSI. The product is designed for
high performance and low power operation, and can
operate from a single 3.3 V or 5 V supply.
