JackRabbitTM
Phoneline Network PHY Transceiver Chipset
CPC6000 / CPC6100
Description
The CPC6000 physical layer (PHY) and CPC6100 analog front end (AFE) JackRabbit™ phoneline network transceiver chipset provides an economically
robust solution for home and small business PC users to network their computer and Internet equipment together through ordinary copper telephone wires
installed in their dwelling or office building. Operating simultaneously with ordinary telephone service (POTS) as well as analog and xDSL modems, the
JackRabbit™ home phoneline network PHY chipset allows consumers to easily share high speed Internet services, play multi-player networked games and
share peripheral equipment and files. The CPC6000 and CPC6100 JackRabbit™ transceiver chipset connects directly between an industry standard
Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) over an industry standard MII (Media Independent Interface) or GPSI (General Purpose Serial Interface) interface
and any RJ11 phone jack attached to the existing internal telephone wires. The JackRabbit™ chipset operates at speeds up to 10Mbps while in high speed
“Turbo” mode in addition to providing a Home Phone Network Alliance (HomePNA) interoperability mode with a more robust 1Mbps technology. Consisting
of the 80-pin TQFP packaged CPC6000 digital PHY device and the 48-pin TQFP packaged AFE, the JackRabbit™ chipset and available reference designs
provide OEMs with a complete low cost home phoneline network interface card (NIC) solution.
