GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Am79761 Gigabit Ethernet Physical Layer Serializer/Deserializer (GigaPHY-SD) device is a 1.25 Gbps Ethernet Transceiver optimized for Gigabit Ethernet/ 1000BASE-X applications. It implements the Physical Medium Attachment (PMA) layer for a single port.

The GigaPHY-SD device can interface to fiber-optic media to support 1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-SX applications and can interface to copper coax to support 1000BASE-CX applications.
