A DSP based 10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet transceiver in a 1.8 V, 0.18 /spl mu/m CMOS technology

This paper describes a DSP based 10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet physical layer interface in a 1.8, V 0.18 /spl mu/m single-poly 5-level metal CMOS technology. The DSP architecture allows for robust performance for cable lengths >150 m. The integrated transceiver is IEEE 802.3 compliant and uses existing 1:1 transformers. The active area is 6.6 mm/sup 2/ and consumes 350 mW of power.
