NE8392C Overview
The NE8392C Coaxial Transceiver Interface (CTI) is a bipolar coaxial line driver/receiver for Ethernet (10base5) and Thin Ethernet (10base2) local area networks. The CTI is connected between the coaxial cable and the Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and consists of a receiver, transmitter, receive-mode collision detector, heartbeat generator and jabber timer (see Block Diagram). The transmitter output connects directly...
