GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ML6694 is a high-speed physical layer transceiver that provides a 5-bit (or symbol) interface to unshielded twisted pair cable media. The ML6694 is well suited for repeater applications using repeater controllers with the 5-bit interface. The ML6694 may also be used in FDDI-over-copper applications.
