Description The DP83840A is a Physical Layer device for Ethernet 10BASE-T and 100BASE-X
using category 5 Unshielded, Type 1 Shielded and Fiber Optic cables. This
VLSI device is designed for easy implementation of 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet LANs. It
interfaces to the PMD sub-layer through National Semiconductor's DP83223 Twisted
Pair Transceiver, and to the MAC layer through a Media Independent Interface
(MII), ensuring interoperability between products from different vendors.
The DP83840A is designed with National Semiconductor's BiCMOS process. Its
system architecture is based on the integration of several of National
Semiconductor's industry proven core technologies:
- 10BASE-T ENDEC/Transceiver module to provide the 10 Mb/s IEEE 802.3
functions
- Clock Recovery/Generator Modules from National Semiconductor's leading FDDI
product
- FDDI Stream Cipher (Cyclone)
- 100BASE-X physical coding sub-layer (PCS) and control logic that integrate
the core modules into a dual speed Ethernet physical layer
controller
