General Description

The Am79C989 Quad Ethernet Switching Transceiver (QuEST™) is a four-port physical layer (PHY) device that provides all of the analog functions needed for a 10BASE-T switch, including four independent Manchester Encode/Decode units (MENDECs) and four independent 10BASE-T transceivers.

If the AUI p o rt i s u s e d fo r a 1 0 B A S E - 2 , 1 0 B A S E - 5 , o r 10BASE-FL transceiver, one of the four 10BASE-T ports is disabled.

The QuEST device is designed for 10 Mbps Ethernet switching hubs, port switching repeater hubs, routers, bridges, and servers that require data encoding and clock recovery on a per port basis and are limited by pin constraints.
