Micro Linear ML6691

The ML6691 implements the upper portion of the physical layer for the Fast Ethernet 100BASE-T standard. The ML6691 is designed to interface to a 100BASE-T Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) via the MII (Media Independent Interface) on one side, and a 100BASE-X PMD transceiver on the other side. Functions contained in the ML6691 include a 4B/5B encoder/ decoder, a Stream Cipher scrambler/descrambler, and collision detect.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Additional functions of the ML6691 — accessible through the two-wire MII management interface — include full duplex operation, loopback, power down mode, and MII isolation. A complete 100BASE-TX physical layer (PHY) solution is realized using the ML6691, the ML6673, and one of the available clock recovery/generation devices. A 100BASEFX physical layer solution is implemented by disabling the scrambler function of the ML6691 and using an external optical PMD.
