MX98741 Overview
The MX98741 (100BASE-TX Repeater Controller, XRC) is a 208-pin PQFP device that interfaces directly with offshell clock generation/recovery chips. Eight ports can be configured as 100 BASE-TX or FX ports individually. Three additional ports have Media Independent Interfaces (MII) which allow easy connection of management and bridge devices.
