IXF1104 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Controller
Datasheet 134
Document Number: 278757
Revision Number: 009
Revision Date: 27-Oct-2005
See Section 5.1.7, “Packet Buffer Dimensions” on page 80 for additional information regarding I/O
buffer types. The related driver characteristics are described in this section.
Caution: IXF1104 MAC input signals are not 5 V tolerant. Devices driving the IXF1104 MAC must provide
3.3 V signal levels or use level-shifting buffers to provide 3.3 V-compatible levels. Otherwise,
damage to the IXF1104 MAC will occur.
