Product Summary

The am79c901avc HomePHY is a single-chip devicethat contains both a physical layer (PHY) for 1 Mbps data networking over existing residential telephone wiring based on the specification published by HomePNA and a physical layer for supporting the IEEE 802.3 standard for 10BASE-T. The am79c901avc is targeted at embedded applications and has both GPSI and MII-compatible interfaces. The am79c901avc is fabricated in an advanced low power 3.3 V CMOS process to provide low
operating current for power sensitive applications.
