Low-Power Ethernet Coaxial Transceiver

This transceiver provides the interface between the single-ended coaxial cable signals and the Manchester-encoded differential logic signals. Primary functional blocks include the receiver, transmitter, collision detection, and jabber timer. This IC can be used in either internal or external MAU environments.
