11.8.1 Transmit Functions
This section describes functions used when the Media Access Controller (MAC) transmits data through
the PHY and out onto the twisted-pair connection.
11.8.1.1 Scrambler
The scrambler randomizes the transmitted data. The purpose of scrambling is two fold:
1. Scrambling eliminates repeating data patterns from the 4DPAM5 waveform to reduce EMI.
