6.3.1 Twisted-Pair Transmitter Interface
The twisted-pair transmitter driver uses an H-bridge configuration. ICS suggests any of for the H-bridge:
• Halo TG22S012ND transformer
• Transpower HB617-LP transformer
• Pulse 68517 transformer which can be turned around to move the choke windings to the RJ-45 side.
Figure 6-1 shows the design for the ICS1893AG twisted-pair transmitter interface.
• Two 61.9Ω 1% resistors are in series, with a 120-nH 5% inductor between them. These components
form a network that connects across both the transformer and the ICS1893AG TP_TXP and TP_TXN
pins.
• The ICS1893AG transmitter output H drive configuration supplies power to the transformer. (No VDD
connection is required.)
• The ICS1893AG TP_CT pin is connected directly to the transformer transmit center tap connection and
is bypassed to ground with a 100-pF capacitor.
Note:
1. If the transmit transformer has a choke, it may be put on the chip side, the RJ-45 side, or both.
2. Keep all TX traces as short as possible.
3. When making board traces, 50Ω-characteristic impedance is desirable.
