OPTIMIZED MII FOR 802.3U (100 BASE-T) FAST ETHERNET PHYS

摘要

A media independent interface for interconnecting an integrated repeater front-end with one or more integrated interface devices, each having several physical layer devices for operation in conformance with IEEE 802.3u. The media independent interface, in a repeater implementation, shares transmit and receive data channels, and provides for dedicated control signals, thereby multiplexing shared channels across all of the physical layer devices in the integrated interface device.
