GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ML4663 single-chip 10BASE-FL transceiver integrates both a ML4662 10BASE-FL transceiver with a ML4622 fiber optic data quantizer to implement a highly integrated solution for 10BASE-FL transceivers. The ML4663 offers a standard IEEE 802.3 AU interface that allows it to be directly connected to industry standard manchester encoder/decoder chips or an AUI connector.
