It includes an integrated Media Independent Interface, ENDECs, scrambler/descrambler, dual-speed clock recovery, and auto-negotiation functions. The transmitter includes an on-chip pulse-shaper and a low-power line driver. The receiver has an adaptive equalizer and a baseline restoration circuit required for accurate clock and data recovery. The transceiver interfaces to CAT-5 or CAT-3 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling, and is connected to the line media via 1:1 isolation transformers. Products that were designed to use older versions of the 2120 can be upgraded to use the newer technology without significant investment, re-engineering, or re-qualification of the transceiver |
