Low-power coaxial Ethernet transceiver
Product specification
NE83C92
DESCRIPTION
The NE83C92 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.
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
automatic selection between AUI and coaxial connections, and
requires no external pull-down resistors for local integrated MAU
application.
The NE83C92 is manufactured on an advanced BiCMOS process
and is available with PLCC package 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 application.
FEATURES
• Fully compliant with Ethernet II, IEEE 802.3 10BASE-5 and
10BASE-2, and ISO 8802/3 interface specifications
• 100% drop-in compatible with industry standard 8392 sockets
• Optimal implementation can use 1 Watt DC-DC converter and
reduces external part count (local/integrated MAU requires no
external pull-down resistors).
• High efficiency AUI drivers automatically power-down under idle
conditions to minimize current consumption
• Automatically disabling AUI drivers when disconnecting coax
cable, allowing hardwiring of AUI connection and local/integrated
CTI connection
• Smart squelch on data inputs eliminates false activations
• Advanced BiCMOS process for extremely low power operation
