Product Summary

The DM9161EP is a physical layer, single-chip, and low power transceiver for 100BASE-TX 100BASE-FX and 10BASE-T operations. On the media side, it provides a direct interface either to Unshielded Twisted Pair Category 5 Cable (UTP5) for 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet, or UTP5/UTP3 Cable for 10BASE-T Ethernet. Through the Media Independent Interface (MII), the DM9161EP connects to the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, ensuring a high inter-operability from different vendors. The DM9161EP uses a low power and high performance CMOS process. It contains the entire physical layer functions of 100BASE-TX as defined by IEEE802.3u, including the Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS), Physical Medium Attachment (PMA), Twisted Pair Physical Medium Dependent Sublayer (TP-PMD), 10BASE-TX Encoder/Decoder (ENC/DEC), and Twisted Pair Media Access Unit (TPMAU). The DM9161EP provides a strong support for the auto-negotiation function, utilizing automatic media speed and protocol selection. Furthermore, due to the built-in wave-shaping filter, the DM9161EP needs no external filter to transport signals to the media in 100MBASE-TX or 10MBASE-T Ethernet operation.
