DM9101
10/100Mbps Ethernet Physical Layer Single Chip Transceiver
General Description
The DM9101 is a physical-layer, single-chip, low-power
transceiver for 100Base-TX, and 10Base-T operations. On
the media side, it provides a direct interface either to
Unshielded Twisted Pair Category 5 Cable (UTP5) for
100Base-TX Fast Ethernet, or UTP5/UTP3 Cable for
10Base-T Ethernet. Through the IEEE 802.3u Media
Independent Interface (MII), the DM9101 connects to the
Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, ensuring a high inter-
operability among products from different vendors.
The DM9101 uses a low-power and high-performance
CMOS process. It contains the entire physical layer
functions of 100Base-TX as defined by IEEE 802.3u,
including the Physical Coding
Sublayer (PCS), Physical Medium Attachment (PMA),
100Base-TX Twisted Pair Physical Medium Dependent
Sublayer (TP-PMD), and a 10Base-T Encoder/Decoder
(ENC/DEC). The DM9101 provides strong support for the
Auto-negotiation function utilizing automatic media speed
and protocol selection. The DM9101 incorporates an
internal wave-shaping filter to control rise/fall time,
eliminating the need for external filtering on the 10/100Mbps
signals.
