LU3X54FT
QUAD-FET (Fast Ethernet Transceiver) for 10Base-T/100Base-TX/
FX
Data Sheet
July 2000
Introduction
The LU3X54FT is a four-channel, single-chip com-
plete transceiver designed specifically for dual-speed
10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 100Base-FX repeaters
and switches. It supports simultaneous operation in
three separate IEEE standard modes: 10Base-T,
100Base-TX, and 100Base-FX.
Each channel implements:
I
10Base-T transceiver function of IEEE802.3.
I
Physical coding sublayer (PCS) of IEEE802.3u.
I
Physical medium attachment (PMA) of IEEE
802.3u.
I
Autonegotiation of IEEE 802.3u.
I
MII management of IEEE802.3u.
I
Physical medium dependent (PMD) of IEEE802.3.
The LU3X54FT supports operations over two pairs of
unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable (10Base-T and
100Base-TX), and over fiber-optic cable (100Base-
FX).
It has been designed with a flexible system interface
that allows configuration for optimum performance
and effortless design. The individual per-port inter-
face can be configured as 100 Mbits/s MII, 10 Mbits/s
MII, 7-pin 10 Mbits/s serial, or bused mode.
