It combines all the functions of a 10/100 dual-speed bridged repeater, including PHY transceivers, an MII or 7-wire hard-wire configurable interface, two internal repeaters, and a two-port bridge with 32 KB embedded memory. Because the AC205 has the smallest footprint and the lowest power consumption, on a per-port basis, of any micro-LAN solution, when all system costs are considered — power, heat, components and real estate — the AC205 provides the lowest overall system cost and most reliable design. The AC205 contains five 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet transceivers, one of which can be configured into a fullduplex uplink port. The transceivers perform all of the physical layer interface functions for 10BASE-T Ethernet on Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable and 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet on Category 5 UTP cable. The AC205 is a member of the AC208 Product Family. The AC208 Product Family includes the AC208, AC207, AC206, AC205 and AC205-I with the following features and configurations: The MII and 7-wire compatible MAC interface allows the AC205 to be designed into many different applications, reducing the number of separate devices necessary to meet multiple design requirements. The AC205 represents a marked improvement over the previous generation of the dual-speed bridged repeater family AC108R. Because the memory is embedded in the silicon, the AC205 offers the obvious advantage of cost savings in the discrete memory device. Additionally, a 100-pin PQFP package means savings in manufacturing and testing. © 2002 by ALTIMA COMMUNICATIONS, INC. A Broadcom Company. All rights reserved.
