ML6696 Datasheet | Micro Linear

December 1998 ML6696- 100BASE-X Fiber Physical Layer GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ML6696 implements the plete physical layer of the Fast Ethernet 100BASE-X standard for fiber media. The device provides the MII (Media Independent Interface) for interface to upper-layer silicon. The ML6696 integrates the data quantizer and the LED driver, allowing the use of low cost optical PMD ponents. The ML6696 includes 4B/5B encoder/decoder, 125MHz clock recovery/clock generation, LED driver, and a data quantizer. The device also offers a power down mode which results in total power consumption of less than 20mA. The ML6696 is suitable for the current 100BASE-FX IEEE 803.2u standard defined using...
