BCM5238 Datasheet 10/100base-tx Transceiver

Manufacturer: Broadcom

Overview: ADVANCE DATA SHEET BCM5238 10/100BASE-TX Octal-Φ™ Transceiver.

General Description

The BCM5238 is an octal 10/100BASE-TX transceiver for Fast Ethernet switches.

The device contains eight fullduplex 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet transceivers, each of which performs all of the physical layer interface functions for 10BASE-T Ethernet on Category 3, 4 or 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable and 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet on Category 5 UTP cable.

Pseudo-100BASE-FX mode is supported through external fiber-optic tranceivers.

Key Features

  • 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX IEEE 802.3u compliant.
  • Single-chip octal physical interface.
  • SMII to magnetics.
  • Option.
  • Source Synchronous SMII (SSSMII).
  • Fully integrated digital adaptive equalizers.
  • 125-MHz clock generator and timing recovery.
  • On-chip multimode transmit waveshaping.
  • Edge-rate control eliminates external filters.
  • HP auto-MDIX.
  • Cable length Indication.
  • Cable noise level Indication.
