LXT9762/9782
Fast Ethernet 10/100 Multi-Port Transceiver with Serial MII
Datasheet
General Description
The LXT9782 is an eight-port PHY Fast Ethernet Transceiver that supports IEEE 802.3 physical
layer applications at both 10 and 100 Mbps. The LXT9762 offers the same features and
functionality in a six-port device. This data sheet uses the singular designation “LXT97x2” to
refer to both devices.
The LXT97x2 interfaces multiple Serial Media Independent Interface (SMII) compliant
controllers to 10BASE-T and/or 100BASE-TX media.
All network ports provide a combination twisted-pair (TP) or pseudo-ECL (PECL) interface for
a 10/100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX connection.
The LXT97x2 provides three discrete LED drivers for each port, and eight global serial LED
outputs. It supports both half- and full-duplex operation at 10 and 100 Mbps and requires only a
single 3.3V power supply.
