Block Diagram
The MC92603 performs the physical coding sublayer (PCS) and the physical medium
attachment (PMA) sublayer for 1000BASE-X PHY as defined in clause 36 of the IEEE Std.
802.3-2002 specification [4].
Figure 1-3 shows a typical application for the MC92603 which may be used as a quad
1000BASE-X PHY or in backplane applications. On high density line cards with a large
number of Gig-Ethernet ports, it is desirable to use the RGMII interfaces to reduce the
number of signal traces on the PCB.
The MC92603 may be used to interface directly to the Gigabit MACs integrated into the
MPC PowerQUICC III™ communications processors. They are also interface-compatible
to C-Port’s C-3 and C-5 network processors available from Motorola.
