Hi Dario, If i look at the datasheet it looks that it is manufactured in the Asia's. See point 5 there is a diference electrical between TX and RX: 5.DCR (1-3) =3D0.7 OHM, (6-8)=3D0.5 OHM, (11-9)=3D1.1 OHM (http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/106159/ETC/TS6121C.ht ml ) Harry = > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: piclist-bounces@mit.edu [mailto:piclist-bounces@mit.edu] = > Namens Dario Greggio > Verzonden: donderdag 18 februari 2010 19:22 > Aan: Microcontroller discussion list - Public. > Onderwerp: Re: [PIC] ethernet transformer > = > Wouter van Ooijen ha scritto: > >> sorry :) thought I had been clear: TX <-> RX; keep primary and = > >> secondary at place, and so the polarities. > > = > > I guess that might work, but I can imagine a manufacturer using a = > > physically smaller core for the receiver transformer.
