GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The NetPHY™ 4LP device is a highly integrated, low power 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/FX Quad Ethernet transceiver. The NetPHY™ 4LP device includes integrated RMII, ENDECs, Scrambler/Descrambler, and full-featured Auto-Negotiation with support for Parallel Detection and Next Page. Port 3 can be configured as a 100BASE-FX transmitter to output an NRZI PECL level signal. Each receiver has an adaptive equalizer/DC restoration circuit for accurate clock/data recovery on the 100BASE-TX signal at different cable lengths and can perform to 125 m and beyond.

DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
■ Four 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet PHY transceivers
