DNC3X3825
Octal 10/100 Mbits/s Ethernet Transceiver Macrocell
Octal 100 Mbits/s FX Transceiver
Features
■ Compatible with IEEE 802.3u 100Base-FX stan-
dard.
4
Octal 10 Mbits/s Transceiver
■ DSP based.
■ Reuses existing twisted-pair I/O pins for compatible
fiber-optic transceiver pseudo-ECL (PECL) data.
■ Compatible with IEEE * 802.3 10Base-T standard
for twisted-pair cable.
■ Fiber mode automatically configures port:
— FX mode enable is pin or register selectable
— Disables autonegotiation and 10Base-T.
— Enables 100Base-FX remote fault signaling.
— Disables MLT-3 encoder/decoder.
■ Half- and full-duplex operations.
■ Autopolarity detection and correction.
■ Adjustable squelch level for extended wire-length
capability (two levels).
— Disables scrambler/descrambler.
General
■ Interfaces with IEEE 802.3u media independent
interface (MII) or a serial 10 Mbits/s 7-pin interface.
■ Ports individually configurable
■ On-chip filtering eliminates the need for external fil-
■ Autonegotiation and management:
— Fast link pulse (FLP) burst generator.
— Arbitration function.
ters.
— Accepts preamble suppression.
— Operates up to 12.5 MHz.
Octal 100 Mbits/s Transceiver
■ Compatible with IEEE 802.3u MII (clause 22),
PCS/PMA (clause 24), PMD (clause 25), MII man-
agement, and autonegotiation (clause 28) specifi-
cations.
■ Supports the MII station management protocol and
frame format (clause 22): basic and extended reg-
ister set.
■ Supports next page.
■ Selectable 5-bit code-group (PDT/PDR interface)
■ Provides status signals: receive activity, transmit
activity, full duplex, collision/jabber, link integrity,
and speed indication.
or 4-bit data nibbles (MII interface) input/output.
■ Full- or half-duplex operations.
■ Optional carrier integrity monitor (CIM).
■ Powerdown mode for 10 Mbits/s and 100 Mbits/s
operation.
■ Selectable carrier sense signal generation (MCRS)
asserted during either transmission or reception in
half duplex (MCRS asserted during reception only
in full duplex).
■ Loopback testing for 10 Mbits/s and 100 Mbits/s
operation.
■ 0.25 µm low-power CMOS technology.
■ Single 3.3 V power supply operation.
■ Adaptive equalization and baseline wander correc-
tion.
■ 25 MHz XTAL oscillator input or 25 MHz/50 MHz/
■ On-chip filtering eliminates the need for external
125 MHz clock input.
