Features
General Description
•
Single chip 100BASE-TX/100BASE-FX/10BASE-T
physical layer solution
The KS8001 is a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/FX Physical
Layer Transceiver, operating the core at 1.8 volts to meet
low voltage and low power requirements. The solution
provides MII/RMII/SMII interfaces to transmit and receive
•
•
•
1.8V CMOS design, power consumption 250 mW
Robust (130m+) operation over standard cables
Supports Media Independent Interface (MII), Reduced
MII (RMII), and Serial MII (SMII)
data.
A unique mixed-signal design extends signaling
distance while reducing power consumption.
•
LinkMD feature to determine cable length and
diagnose faulty cables up 200 m with +/- 2 m accuracy
Supports HP MDI/MDI-X auto crossover
HP Auto MDI/MDI-X provides the most robust solution for
eliminating the need to differentiate between crossover and
straight-through cables.

Supports power down mode and power saving mode
MDC/MDIO to 12.5 MHz for rapid configuration
Fully compliant to IEEE 802.3u standard
Featuring LinkMD cable diagnostics, which allows
detection of common cabling plant problems such as open
and short circuits, the KS8001 represents a new level of
features and performance and is an ideal choice of
physical layer transceiver for 100BASE-TX/10BASE-
T/100BASE-FX applications.
Supports auto-negotiation and manual selection for
10/100Mbps speed and full
/
half-duplex mode
