The recommended operating temperature range for the RTL8100C-LF is 0°C to 70°C (commercial temperature range) or -40°C to 85°C (industrial temperature range), depending on the specific application and requirements.
The RTL8100C-LF can be configured for half-duplex or full-duplex operation through the DUPLEX_MODE pin. A high level on this pin enables full-duplex operation, while a low level enables half-duplex operation.
The maximum transmission distance supported by the RTL8100C-LF depends on the specific application and cable quality, but it can support distances of up to 100 meters (328 feet) over Category 5e cable.
The RTL8100C-LF has a built-in power management feature that can be controlled through the PME# pin. The device can be put into a low-power state by asserting the PME# pin low, and awakened by de-asserting the PME# pin.
The RTL8100C-LF requires a 25 MHz crystal oscillator with a frequency tolerance of ±50 ppm and a load capacitance of 18 pF.
