The ICS1893 incorporates digital signal processing (DSP) in its Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) sublayer.
As a result, it can transmit and receive data on unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) category 5 cables with attenuation
in excess of 24 dB at 100 MHz. With this ICS-patented technology, the ICS1893 can virtually eliminate errors
from killer packets.
The ICS1893 provides a Serial Management Interface for exchanging command and status information with a
Station Management (STA) entity.
The ICS1893 Media Dependent Interface (MDI) can be configured to provide either half- or full-duplex
operation at data rates of 10 MHz or 100 MHz. The MDI configuration can be established manually (with input
pins or control register settings) or automatically (using the Auto-Negotiation features). When the ICS1893
Auto-Negotiation sublayer is enabled, it exchanges technology capability data with its remote link partner and
automatically selects the highest-performance operating mode they have in common.
