ML4662
10BASE-FL Transceiver
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML4662 10Base-FL transceiver combined with the
ML4622 or ML4624 fiber optic quantizers provides all of
the functionality required to implement both an internal
and external IEEE 802.3 10Base-FL MAU. The ML4662
offers a standard IEEE 802.3 AU interface that allows it to
be directly connected to industry standard manchester
encoder/decoder chips or and AUI cable.
The ML4662 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 current driven output that directly
drives a fiber optic LED transmitter. Jabber, a 1MHz idle
signal, and SQE Test are fully integrated onto the chip.
The receiver accepts and ECL level input coming from the
ML4622 or ML4624 fiber optic quantizers. The 1MHz idle
signal is removed and the AUI output is activated when
the receive squelch criteria is exceeded. A Link Monitor
function is also provided for low light detection.
