Realtek RTL8305SC

The RTL8305SC is a 5-port Fast Ethernet switch controller that integrates memory, five MACs, and five physical layer transceivers for 10Base-T and 100Base-TX operation into a single chip. The five ports are separated into three groups (GroupX/GroupY/Port4) for flexible port configuration using strapping pins upon reset. The SetGroup pin is used to select port members in GroupX and GroupY.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

All ports support 100Base-FX, which shares pins (TX+-/RX+-) with UTP ports and needs no SD+/- pins, a development using Realtek proprietary technology. To compensate for the lack of auto-negotiation in 100Base-FX applications, the RTL8305SC can be forced into 100Base-FX half or full duplex mode, and can enable or disable flow control in fiber mode. When the port members have been determined, you may use a mode selection pin (GxMode/Gymode/P4Mode[1:0]) to select operating interfaces such as 10/100Base-TX, 100Base-FX. Each group has four pins for selecting initial port status upon reset (ANEG/Force, 100/10, Full/Half, Enable/Disable Flow Control). Upon reset, in addition to using strapping pins, a CPU can also configure the RTL8305SC via the MDC/MDIO interface. The fifth port (port 4) supports an external MAC and an external PHY interface. The external MAC interface can be set to PHY mode MII, PHY mode SNI, or MAC mode MII to work with a routing engine, HomePNA, or VDSL transceiver.
