DP83843BVJE PHYTER
General Description
Features
The DP83843BVJE is a full feature Physical Layer device — IEEE 802.3 ENDEC with AUI/10BASE-T transceivers
with integrated PMD sublayers to support both 10BASE-T
and 100BASE-X Ethernet protocols.
and built-in filters
— IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX compatible - directly drives
standard Category 5 UTP, no need for external
100BASE-TX transceiver
This VLSI device is designed for easy implementation of
10/100 Mb/s Ethernet LANs. It interfaces directly to Twisted
Pair media through an external transformer or to fiber
media via industry standard electrical/optical fiber PMD
transceivers. This device also interfaces directly to the
MAC layer through the IEEE 802.3u standard Media Inde-
pendent Interface (MII), ensuring interoperability between
products from different vendors.
— Fully Integrated and fully compliant ANSI X3.263 TP-
PMD physical sublayer which includes adaptive equal-
ization and BLW compensation
— IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-FX compatible - connects direct-
ly to industry standard Electrical/Optical transceivers
— IEEE 802.3u Auto-Negotiation for automatic speed se-
lection
The DP83843 is designed with National Semiconductor's
advanced CMOS process. Its system architecture is based
on the integration of several of National's industry proven
core technologies:
— IEEE 802.3u compatible Media Independent Interface
(MII) with Serial Management Interface
— Integrated high performance 100 Mb/s clock recovery
circuitry requiring no external filters
— IEEE 802.3 ENDEC with AUI/10BASE-T transceiver
module to provide the 10 Mb/s functions
— Full Duplex support for 10 and 100 Mb/s data rates
— MII Serial 10 Mb/s mode
— Clock Recovery/Generator Modules from National's Fast
Ethernet and FDDI products
— Fully configurable node/switch and 100Mb/s repeater
modes
— FDDI Stream Cipher scrambler/descrambler for
TP-PMD
— Programmable loopback modes for flexible system diag-
nostics
— 100BASE-X physical coding sub-layer (PCS) and control
logic that integrates the core modules into a dual speed
Ethernet physical layer controller
— Flexible LED support
— ANSI X3T12 Compliant TP-PMD Transceiver
— Single register access to complete PHY status
— MDIO interrupt support
technology with Baseline Wander (BLW) compensation
— Individualized scrambler seed for 100BASE-TX applica-
tions using multiple PHYs
— Low power consumption for multi-port applications
— Small footprint 80-pin PQFP package
