GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am7992B Serial Interface Adapter (SIA) is a
Manchester encoder/decoder compatible with IEEE
802.3, Cheapernet, and Ethernet specifications. In an
IEEE 802.3/Ethernet application, the Am7992B inter-
faces the Am7990 Local Area Network Controller for
Ethernet (LANCE) to the Ethernet transceiver device,
acquires clock and data within four bit times, and de-
codes Manchester data with worst case
±
19 ns phase
jitter at 10 MHz. SIA provides both guaranteed signal
threshold limits and transient noise suppression cir-
cuitry in both data and collision paths to minimize false
start conditions.
