ML6697
100BASE-TX Physical Layer with MII
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML6697 implements the complete physical layer of
the Fast Ethernet 100BASE-TX standard. The ML6697
offers a single-chip per-port solution for MII-based
repeater applications. The ML6697 interfaces to the
controller through the Media Independent Interface (MII).
The ML6697 functionality includes 4B/5B encoding/
decoding, Stream Cipher scrambling/descrambling,
125MHz clock recovery/generation, receive adaptive
equalization, baseline wander correction, and MLT-3
transmitter.
