LXT9785/9785E
Advanced 10/100 8-Port Transceivers
Datasheet
The LXT9785 and LXT9785E are 8-port Fast Ethernet PHY Transceivers that support IEEE
802.3 physical layer applications at 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps. These devices provide both Serial/
Source Synchronous Serial Media Independent Interfaces (SMII/SS-SMII) and Reduced Media
Independent Interface (RMII) for switching and other independent port applications. The
LXT9785 and LXT9785E are identical except for the IP telephony features included in the
LXT9785E transceiver. The LXT9785E is an enhanced version of the LXT9785 that detects
Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) capable of being powered remotely from the switch over a
Category 5 cable. The system can use the information collected by the LXT97985E to apply
power if the DTE at the far end requires power over the cable, such as an IP telephone.
All network ports provide a combination twisted-pair (TP) or pseudo-ECL (PECL) interface for
both 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps (10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX) Ethernet over twisted-pair, or 100
Mbps (100BASE-FX) Ethernet over fiber-optic media.
The LXT9785/9785E provides three discrete LED driver outputs for each port. The devices
support both half-duplex and full-duplex operation at 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps and require only a
single 2.5V power supply.
