AC101QF/TF Ultra Low Power 10/100
Ethernet Transceiver

Functional Block Diagram
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The AC101QF/TF is a highly integrated, 3.3V, low power,
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/FX, Ethernet transceiver implement-
ed in 0.35
µ
m CMOS technology. Multiple modes of operation,
including normal operation, test mode and power saving mode,
are available through either hardware or software control.
Features include MAC interfaces, encoder/decoders (EN-
DECs), Scrambler/Descrambler, and Auto-Negotiation (ANeg)
with support for parallel detection. The transmitter includes a
dual-speed clock synthesizer that only needs one external clock
source (crystal or clock oscillator). The chip has built-in wave
shaping driver circuit for both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps, eliminat-
ing the need for an external hybrid filter. The receiver has an
adaptive equalizer/DC restoration circuit for accurate clock and
data recovery for the 100BASE-TX signal. It also provides an
on-chip low pass filer/Squelch circuit for the 10BASE-T signal.
MAC interfaces to support 10/100 MII, 100M only Symbol
Mode, 10M only Symbol Mode and 10M only 7 wire interface
are included.
The AC101TF and the AC101QF are the same product in differ-
ent packages.
