DescriptionThe RTL8212/RTL8212N/8211N integrate dual/single independent Gigabit Ethernet transceivers into a single IC and performs all the physical layer (PHY) functions for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 1000Base-T Ethernet on category 3 (10Base-T) or category 5 UTP cable (except 1000Base-T half duplex operation).
The RTL8212N-GR includes the PCS, PMA, and PMD sub-layers. They perform encoding/decoding, clock/data recovery, digital adaptive equalization, echo cancellers, cross-talk elimination, line driver, as well as all other required support circuit functions. The RTL8212N-GR also integrates an internal hybrid that allows the use of inexpensive 1:1 transformer modules.
Each of the two independent transceivers features an industrial standard GMII, MII, and RGMII (Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface). To further reduce PCB trace complexity, the RTL8211N/8212N also provides an innovative 2.5Gbps serial interface the Reduced Serial Gigabit Media Independent Interface (RSGMII). Both dual transceivers can simultaneously communicate with the MAC through the same RSGMII interface.
The RTL8212/RTL8212N/8211N adopts mixed mode 0.13m CMOS technology and analog line driver architecture that offers lower power consumption than DAC
architecture.
Two package types are available; a thermally-enhanced 128-pin EDHS-QFP (Exposed Drop-in Heat Sink QFP) package, and a QFN (Quad Flat No-Lead) 76-pin package.
