KS8721B/BT
2.5V 10/100BasTX/FX MII Physical Layer Transceiver
Rev. 2.2
General Description
Operating at 2.5 volts to meet low voltage and low power
requirements, the KS8721B/BT is a 10BaseT/100BaseTX/
FX Physical Layer Transceiver, which provides an MII to
transmit and receive data. It contains the 10BaseT Physical
Medium Attachment (PMA), Physical Medium Dependent
(PMD), and Physical Coding Sub-layer (PCS) functions.
Moreover, the KS8721B/BT has on-chip 10BaseT output
filtering, which eliminates the need for external filters and
allows a single set of line magnetics to be used to meet
requirements for both 100BaseTX and 10BaseT.
The KS8721B/BT can automatically configure itself for 100 or
10 Mbps and full or half duplex operation, using on-chip Auto-
Negotiation algorithm. It is an ideal choice of physical layer
transceiver for 100BaseTX/10BaseT applications.
