Low-power coaxial Ethernet transceiver
NE83Q92
DESCRIPTION
PIN CONFIGURATION
The NE83Q92 is a low power BiCMOS coaxial transceiver interface
(CTI) for Ethernet (10base5) and Thin Ethernet (10base2) local area
networks. The CTI is connected between the coaxial cable and the
Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and consists of a receiver,
transmitter, receive-mode collision detector, heartbeat generator and
jabber timer (see Block Diagram). The transmitter output connects
directly to a doubly terminated 50Ω cable, while the receiver output,
collision detector output and transmitter input are connected to the
DTE through isolation transformers. Isolation between the CTI and
the DTE is an IEEE 802.3 requirement that can be met on signal
lines by using a set of pulse transformers. Power isolation for the
CTI is achieved using DC-to-DC conversion through a power
transformer (see Figure 1, Connection Diagram).

The part is fully pin compatible with the industry standard 8392, but
has substantially lower current consumption, is fully compliant with
the IEEE802.3 standard, and has additional features such as
optional pull-down resistors (Figure 1, Note 4), and automatic
selection between AUI and coaxial connections.

The NE83Q92 is manufactured on an advanced BiCMOS process
and is available with PLCC and SOL packages which make it ideally
suited to lap-top personal computers or systems where low power
consumption, limited board space and jumperless design is
required. Refer to selection flow chart for optimal apllication.
