The integrated PHY supports 10Base-T and 100Base-TX signaling. It integrates all the physical-layer functions needed to transmit and receive data on standard twisted-pair cables. The PHY directly interfaces to the integrated Media Access Controller (MAC).
The Ethernet PHY uses mixed-signal processing to perform equalization, data recovery, and error correction to achieve robust operation over CAT5 twisted-pair wiring. It not only meets the requirements of IEEE 802.3, but maintains high margins in terms of alien cross-talk. The following highlights the features of the PHY module:
