Description

The ML4663CQ is a single-chip 10BASE-FL transceiver that integrates both a ML4662 10BASE-FL transceiver with a ML4622 fiber optic data quantizer. It offers a standard IEEE 802.3 AU interface, allowing it to be directly connected to industry-standard manchester encoder/decoder chips or an AUI connector. This highly integrated solution provides a convenient and efficient option for implementing 10BASE-FL transceivers.
