GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The NetPHY™ 4LP device is a highly integrated, low
power 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/FX Quad Ethernet
transceiver. The NetPHY™ 4LP device includes
integrated RMII, ENDECs, Scrambler/Descrambler,
and full-featured Auto-Negotiation with support for Par-
allel Detection and Next Page. Port 3 can be config-
ured as a 100BASE-FX transmitter to output an NRZI
PECL level signal. Each receiver has an adaptive
equalizer/DC restoration circuit for accurate clock/data
recovery on the 100BASE-TX signal at different cable
lengths and can perform to 125 m and beyond.
The NetPHY™ 4LP device operates on a 3.3 V supply
and offers 5 V I/O tolerance for mixed signal designs.
Power consumption is 1.3 W typical for the device, or
0.3 W per port using 1:1 magnetics. The NetPHY™
4LP device can use 1.25:1 magnetics, which de-
creases transmit power consumption and reduces de-
vice power consumption to 1.2 W typical.
The NetPHY™ 4LP device offers an optimized pinout
for network applications. RMII pins can be routed di-
rectly to the MAC and TX/RX media pins are routed di-
rectly to the magnetics. Direct routing of high speed
traces is imperative for project system design and EMI
noise reduction.
The NetPHY™ 4LP device’s on-chip input filtering and
output waveshaping eliminates the need of external hy-
brid filters for media connection. Integrated LED logic
allows three LEDs per port to be driven directly. These
features greatly simplify the design of a 100BASE-X re-
peater/switch board, thus requiring minimum external
components.
For ease of system and chip setup and testing, the Net-
PHY™ 4LP device offers loopback and various ad-
vanced testing and monitoring capabilities.
The NetPHY™ 4LP device is available in the Commer-
cial (0°C to 70°C) or Industrial (-40°C to +85°C) tem-
perature ranges. The Industrial temperature range is
well suited to environment such as enclosures with re-
stricted air flow or outdoor equipment.
