88E3016
OVERVIEW
The Marvell® 88E3016 device is the fourth generation Marvell® DSP-based physical layer transceiver for Fast Ethernet applications. The device contains all the active circuitry to convert data streams to and from a Media Access Controller (MAC) and the physical media. The 88E3016 device incorporates IEEE 802.3u Auto-Negotiation in support of both 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T networks over twisted-pair cable in fullduplex or half-duplex mode.
The 88E3016 device supports the Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface (RGMII).
The 88E3016 device features a mode of operation supporting IEEE pliant 100BASE-FX fiber-optic networks. Additionally, the 88E3016 device implements Far-End Fault Indication (FEFI) in order to provide a mechanism for transferring information from the local station to the link partner that indicates a remote fault has occurred in 100BASE-FX mode.
The 88E3016 device features the Marvell Virtual Cable Tester® (VCT™) technology, which enables IT managers and...
