Ethernet switch and Ethernet MAC.
• Digital Block – consists of the main HW control logic, the CPU and it peripherals like
memories (RAM, DDR, Flash), Timers, Interrupt controller, UART etc.
• PHY Block – consists of a PHY11B based around INTERSIL Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum Base-band processor.
• RF/IF Block - Consists of the Modulator/Demodulator and Synthesizer + RF IF converter
and synthesizer based on INTERSIL Prism2 chipset.
