Universal 10BASE-T Transceiver with 3.3V Support — LXT905
3.0
Application Information
3.1
Introduction
Figure 8 on page 19 through Figure 10 on page 21 show typical LXT905 applications. These
diagrams group similar pins; they do not portray the actual chip pinout. The controller interface
pins; Transmit Data (TXD), Transmit Clock (TCLK) Transmit Enable (TEN), Receive Data
(RXD), Receive Clock (RCLK), Collision Signal (COL), and Carrier Detect (CD) pins are at the
upper left of the diagram.
Power and ground pins are at the bottom of each diagram. VCC1 and VCC2 use a single power
supply with decoupling capacitors installed between the power and ground busses. VCC may be
powered by a 5V or 3.3V supply.
3.1.1
Termination Circuitry
Several I/O pins are pulled-up or pulled-down internally to keep the signals from floating. It is
recommended to hard-wire these pins either High or Low. Externally pull-up pins (LEDT/PDN,
LEDC/FDE, LEDR, LEDL) and pull-down pins (LBK, TEN, TXD, DSQE, MDO, MDI)
separately using a 10k Ω, 1% resistor, or tie directly to VCC or ground.
3.1.2
Twisted-Pair Interface
The Twisted-Pair interface (TPOP/N and TPIP/N) is at the upper right of the diagram. The I/O
pairs have impedance-matching resistors for 100Ω UTP, but no external filters are required.
3.1.3
RBIAS Pin
The RBIAS pin sets the levels for the LXT905 output drivers. The LXT905 requires a 7.5k Ω, 1%
resistor directly connected between the RBIAS pin and ground. This resistor should be located as
close to the device as possible. Keep the traces as short as possible and isolated from all other high
speed signals.

Crystal Information
Based on limited evaluation, Table 4 lists some suitable crystals. Designers should test and validate
all crystals before committing to a specific component.
