10/100BASE-TX TRANSCEIVER

The 78Q2120C is a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet transceiver. It includes integrated MII, ENDECs, scrambler/descrambler, dual-speed clock recovery, and full-featured auto-negotiation function. The transmitter includes an on-chip pulse-shaper and a low-power line driver. The receiver has an adaptive equalizer and a baseline restoration circuit required for accurate clock and data recovery. The transceiver interfaces to Category-5 unshielded twisted pair (Cat-5 UTP) cabling for 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T and Category-3 unshielded twisted pair for 10BASE-T. Connection to the line media is via 1:1 isolation transformers. No external filter is required. Interface to the MAC is accomplished through an IEEE-802.3 compliant Media Independent Interface (MII). The product is fabricated in an advanced CMOS process for high performance and low power operation.
