Designed for harsh industrial environments, the DP83822 is an ultra-robust, low-power single-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PHY. The DP83822 provides all physical layer functions needed to transmit and receive data over standard twisted-pair cables, or connect to an external fiber optic transceiver. Additionally, the DP83822 provides flexibility to connect to a MAC through a standard MII, RMII, or RGMII interface.
Figure 1-1 is a high-level system block diagram of a typical DP83822 application.
The DP83822 connects to an Ethernet MAC and to the MDI. The connection to the MDI is via a transformer and a connector (for copper applications) or capacitors and a transceiver (for fiber applications).
