Micro Linear ML6673
The ML6673 is a complete monolithic transceiver for 125 Mbaud MLT-3 encoded data transmission over Category 5 unshielded twisted pair and shielded twisted pair cables. The ML6673 integrates the baseline restoration function defined in the TP-PMD standard. The adaptive equalizer in the ML6673 will accurately compensate for line losses exceeding the IEEE 802.3u limit of 100m of UTP.| Part No. | ML6673 |

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML6673 receive section consists of an equalizing filter with a feedback loop for controlling effective line compensation. The feedback loop contains a filter and detection block for determining the proper control signal. The ML6673 also contains data comparators with precisely controlled slicing thresholds and an MLT-3 to NRZI translator. The ML6673 transmit section accepts ECL 100K compatible NRZ inputs and converts them to differential current mode MLT-3 signals. Transmit amplitude is controlled by a single external resistor.FEATURES
