IEEE 802.3u-compliant auto-negotiation.
Unique scrambler seed for all port for better EMI.
Supports in the 9th ports for media independent inter-
face (MII) or 7-wire interface to connect to MAC.
Non-blocking 10/100M bridge with MAC. One segment
of a bridge is fixed to 100 Mbps while the other seg-
ment can be configured for 10 or 100 Mbps.
Bridge functions include:
The AC207 is an unmanaged 8-port 10/100-Mbps repeater
with an integrated bridge. The AC207 provides a low-cost
and integrated solution for unmanaged repeater
applications.

The AC207 is a Class II Repeater. The device provides
eight 10/100-Mbps copper media ports. The AC207 also
provides one selectable MII/7-wire interface. The MII/7-wire
interface can be connected to a MAC. The AC207 provides
10/100-Mbps auto-negotiation and parallel detection for all
ports. However, the option to configure each transceiver
port via EEPROM interface is available. The AC207
provides two internal repeater state machines, one
operating at 10 Mbps and the other at 100 Mbps. Once the
technology is set, the device automatically connects each
port to the appropriate repeater segment.
- Embedded 32K bytes memory for address table and
packet buffer.
- Local MAC address filtering.
- XOR hashing scheme.
- Short routing decision time.
- Forwarding schemes: store-and-forward.
- Address table up to 1K entries.
Programmable LED display for activity, link, speed, par-
tition, utilization, and collision rate.
•
•
The AC207 integrates repeater and bridge technologies
with store-and-forward forwarding mechanisms.
Advanced power management includes:
- Each transceiver port can be turned off indepen-
dently.
F E A T U R E S
- Standby mode, which reduces power when the port
is not connected.
Low power 2.5V 0.25µm CMOS implementation with
128-pin QFP package.
•
Low power (<1A total current consumption when used
with 1.25;1 transformer) eight port 10/100-Mbps
repeater with built-in bridge function.
MDC/MDIO for control/status of transceiver compo-
nents.
Eight integrated 10/100-Mbps IEEE 802.3u compliant
transceivers.
Fully integrated adaptive equalizer provides phase/
amplitude compensation for various cable lengths up to
30dB @ 100 MHz.
