IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T Transceiver

The Motorola 10BASE–T transceiver, designed to comply with the ISO 8802–3 [IEEE 802.3] 10BASE–T specification, will support a Medium Dependent Interface (MDI) in an embedded Media Attachment Unit (MAU)*. The interface supporting the Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) is TTL, CMOS, and raised ECL compatible, and the interface to the Twisted Pair (TP) media is supported through standard 10BASE–T filters and transformers. Differential data intended for the TP media is provided a 50 ns pre–emphasis and data at the TP receiver is screened by Smart Squelch circuitry for specific threshold, pulse width, and sequence requirements.

The MC34055 is manufactured on a BiCMOS process and is packaged in a 24 pin SOIC.
