General Description
The RTL8305SC is a 5-port Fast Ethernet switch controller that integrates memory, five MACs, and five physical layer transceivers for 10Base-T and 100Base-TX operation into a single chip. All ports support 100Base-FX, which shares pins (TX+-/RX+-) with UTP ports and needs no SD+/- pins, a development using Realtek proprietary technology. To compensate for the lack of auto-negotiation in 100Base-FX applications, the RTL8305SC can be forced into 100Base-FX half or full duplex mode, and can enable or disable flow control in fiber mode.
