MICREL KS8737

KS8737 Product Brief
Revision 1.0
10/100 LV PHY FX
Features
Operating at 3.3 Volts to meet low voltage and low
power requirement, the KS8737 is a 10/100BaseTX/FX
Physical Layer Transceiver which provides MII interface
for transmit and receive data. It contains the 100BaseTX/
FX Physical Medium Attachment (PMA), Physical
Medium Dependent (PMD), and Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) functions. Moreover, the KS8737 has an onchip 10BaseT encoder/decoder and output filtering, which
eliminates the need for external filters and allows a single
set of line magnetics to be used to meet the
requirements for both 100BaseTX and 10BaseT.
The KS8737 can automatically configure itself for
100 or 10 Mbps and full or half duplex operation, using
the on-chip Auto-Negotiation algorithm. It’s an ideal
physical layer transceiver choice for 100BaseTX
100BaseFX/10BaseT applications.

System Level Applications
The KS8737 is ideal for 3.3V applications where power
and cost are important issues. A standard MII port is
supplied for easy MAC integration. Management can be
controlled by either strapping control pins or using the
MII management port. A single port example of the
KS8737 usage is shown below.
