The RPC8211FS(I) is a highly integrated Ethernet transceiver that complies with 10BASE-Te, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T IEEE 802.3 standards. It provides all the necessary physical layer functions to transmit and receive Ethernet packets over CAT.5E UTP cable.
The RPC8211FS(I) uses state-of-the-art DSP technology and an Analog Front End (AFE) to enable high-speed data transmission and reception over UTP cable. Functions such as Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction, polarity correction, adaptive equalization, cross-talk cancellation, echo cancellation, timing recovery, and error correction are implemented in the RPC8211FS(I) to provide robust transmission and reception capabilities at 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps.
Data transfer between MAC and PHY is via the Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface (RGMII), or Serial Gigabit Media Independent Interface (SGMII) for 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-Te. The RPC8211FS(I) supports various RGMII signaling voltages, including 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.8V.
The RPC8211FS(I) also supports a SerDes interface that can be configured as SGMII, 1000BASE-X or 100BASEFX.
The RPC8211FS(I) features a RPCOM proprietary feature called LRE100-4, which enables the device to autonegotiate and link up with LRE100-4 compliant link partners in extended cable reach applications up to 400 meter at 100Mbps over CAT.5E cable.
