This document describes the CN7221 Home Networking Physical Layer (PHY) with Integrated Analog Front End (AFE). It includes device pinouts, signal descriptions, and timing diagrams. The CN7221 allows home networks to operate over common telephone wires at 1 Mbps. The CN7221 simplifies system designs and improves their reliability by eliminating the need for a separate AFE comprised of discrete components.
