82555 — Networking Silicon
•Receive: The 82555 takes receive analog MLT-3 data from the receive differential pair and converts it into a digital 125 Mbps stream, recovering both clock and data signals.

2.210 Mbps Mode
The 82555 operation in 10BASE-T mode is similar to the 82555 operation in 100BASE-TX mode. Manchester encoding and decoding is used instead of 4B/5B encoding/decoding and scrambling/ descrambling. In addition, the Transmit Clock and Receive Clock (MII clock signals) provide 2.5 MHz instead of 25 MHz.
