ML4668
Low Power Single Chip 10BASE-FL Transceiver
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML4668 single-chip 10BASE-FL transceiver is a low
power, high output current, plug-compatible version of the
industry standard ML4663. The ML4668 offers a standard
IEEE 802.3 AU interface that allows it to be directly
connected to industry standard manchester encoder/
decoder chips or an AUI connector.
The ML4668 provides a highly integrated solution that
requires a minimal number of external components, and is
compliant to the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-FL standard. The
transmitter offers a 100mA maximum current drive output
that directly drives a fiber optic LED transmitter. The
receiver offers a highly stable fiber optic data quantizer
capable of accepting input signals as low as 2mVP-P with a
55dB dynamic range.
The transmitter automatically inserts 1MHz signal during
idle time and removes this signal on reception. Low Light is
continuously monitored for both activity as well as power
level. Five LED status indicators monitor error conditions as
well as transmissions, receptions and collisions.
