Ethernet

Applicable receivers:  BD970

The receiver contains the ethernet MAC and PHY, but requires external magnetics. The PHY layer is based on the Micrel KSZ8041NLI it is set to default to 100 Mbps, full duplex with auto-negotiation enabled. The receiver has the proper PHY termination on the differential signals as well as Bulk capacitance for the magnetics center tap.
