2. General Description
DAVICOM’s DM9161C is a physical layer, low
power, and single-chip 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX
transceiver specifically designed for consumer
Through its Media Independent Interface (MII),
the DM9161C not only connects the Medium
Access Control (MAC) layer, but the MII also
ensure a high inter-operability and flexibility with
different vendors. In media usage applications,
the DM9161C provides a direct interface either
to an Unshielded Twisted Pair Category 5 Cable
(UTP5) for 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet, or an
UTP5/UTP3 Cable for 10BASE-T Ethernet.
The DM9161C contains the entire physical layer
functions of 100BASE-TX. Those physical layer
functions are defined by IEEE802.3u include the
Physical Coding Sub layer (PCS), Physical
Medium Attachment (PMA), Twisted Pair
Physical Medium Dependent Sub layer
electronics,
industrial,
and
enterprise
applications. Through using a CMOS process,
the DM9161C has the advantage of ensuring
both high performance and savings in power
consumption.
Through utilization of automatic media speed
and protocol selection, the auto-negotiation
function is strongly supported in the DM9161C.
Then due to the built-in wave shaping filter, the
DM9161C has a significant convenience of not
requiring an external filter to transport signals to
the media in 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX during
Ethernet operation.
