4.1
Application Information
Magnetics Information
The LXT971A requires a 1:1 ratio for both the receive and transmit transformers. The transformer
isolation voltage should be rated at 2 kV to protect the circuitry from static voltages across the
connectors and cables. Refer to
for transformer requirements.
A cross-reference list of magnetic manufacturers and part numbers is available in Magnetic
Manufacturers for Networking Product Applications (document number 248991) and is found on
the Intel web site (www.Intel.com). Before committing to a specific component, contact the
manufacturer for current product specifications and validate the magnetics for the specific
application.
