RTL8201N
Datasheet
1.
General Description
The RTL8201N is a single-chip/single-port PHYceiver with an MII (Media Independent Interface)/SNI
(Serial Network Interface). It implements all 10/100M Ethernet Physical-layer functions including the
Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS), Physical Medium Attachment (PMA), Twisted Pair Physical Medium
Dependent Sublayer (TP-PMD), with an
auto MDIX
function, 10Base-Tx Encoder/Decoder, and
Twisted-Pair Media Access Unit (TPMAU).
A PECL (Pseudo Emitter Coupled Logic) interface is supported to connect with an external 100Base-FX
fiber optical transceiver. The chip utilizes an advanced CMOS process to meet low voltage and low
power requirements. With on-chip DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology, the chip provides
excellent performance under all operating conditions.
