General
Features
The ICS1893 is a low-power, physical-layer device (PHY)
that supports the ISO/IEC 10Base-T and 100Base-TX
Carrier-Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection
(CSMA/CD) Ethernet standards. The ICS1893 architecture
is based on the ICS1892. The ICS1893 supports managed or
unmanaged node, repeater, and switch applications.
• Supports category 5 cables with attenuation in excess of
24 dB at 100 MHz across a temperature range from -5° to
+85° C
• DSP-based baseline wander correction to virtually
eliminate killer packets across temperature range of from
-5° to +85° C
• Low-power, 0.35-micron CMOS (typically 400 mW)
• Single 3.3-V power supply.
• Single-chip, fully integrated PHY provides PCS, PMA,
PMD, and AUTONEG sublayers of IEEE standard
The ICS1893 incorporates digital signal processing (DSP)
in its Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) sublayer. As a
result, it can transmit and receive data on unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) category 5 cables with attenuation in
excess of 24 dB at 100 MHz. With this ICS-patented
technology, the ICS1893 can virtually eliminate errors from
killer packets.
• 10Base-T and 100Base-TX IEEE 802.3 compliant
• Fully integrated, DSP-based PMD includes:
– Adaptive equalization and baseline wander correction
– Transmit wave shaping and stream cipher scrambler
– MLT-3 encoder and NRZ/NRZI encoder
The ICS1893 provides a Serial Management Interface for
exchanging command and status information with a Station
Management (STA) entity.
• Highly configurable design supports:
– Node, repeater, and switch applications
– Managed and unmanaged applications
– 10M or 100M half- and full-duplex modes
– Parallel detection
The ICS1893 Media Dependent Interface (MDI) can be
configured to provide either half- or full-duplex operation at
data rates of 10 MHz or 100 MHz. The MDI configuration
can be established manually (with input pins or control
register settings) or automatically (using the
Auto-Negotiation features). When the ICS1893
Auto-Negotiation sublayer is enabled, it exchanges
technology capability data with its remote link partner and
automatically selects the highest-performance operating
mode they have in common.
– Auto-negotiation, with Next Page capabilities
• MAC/Repeater Interface can be configured as:
– 10M or 100M Media Independent Interface
– 100M Symbol Interface (bypasses the PCS)
– 10M 7-wire Serial Interface
• Small Footprint 64-pin Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQFP)
