DP83924A Quad 10 Mb/s Ethernet Transceiver
General Description
The Quad 10 Mb/s Ethernet Transceiver is a 4-Port
Encoder/Decoder (ENDEC) that includes all the circuitry
required to interface four Ethernet Media Access Control-
lers (MACs) to 10BASE-T. This device is ideally suited for
switch hub applications where 8, 16, 24, or 32 ports are
commonly used.
