DM9081
10BASE-T Hub Controller
General Description
The 10BASE-T Hub Controller (DM9081) provides a
system level solution for designing IEEE-compliant
802.3 repeaters that incorporate 10BASE-T
transceivers. This device integrates the repeater
functions specified by section 9 of the IEEE 802.3
standard. The Twisted Pair transceiver is compliant
with 10BASE-T standards. The DM9081 provides
eight integral Twisted Pair Media Attachment Units
(MAUs) and two Attachment Unit Interface (AUI)
ports in a 100-pin QFP package.
The total number of ports per repeater unit can be
increased by connecting multiple DM9081 chips via
their expansion ports. The DM9081 supports LED
drivers to monitor port status. It displays Link, Carrier
Sense, Collision, Partition, and Bit Rate Error Status.
In minimum mode, Link, Carrier Sense, and Collision
Status can be displayed without external TTL
devices.
