Description
The Agere Systems Inc. FW801 device provides the
analog physical layer functions needed to implement a one-port node in a cable-based IEEE 13941995 and IEEE P1394a network.
The cable port incorporates two differential line
transceivers. The transceivers include circuitry to
monitor the line conditions as needed for determining connection status, for initialization and
arbitration, and for packet reception and transmission. The PHY is designed to interface with a linklayer controller (LLC).

June 2001One-Cable Transceiver/Arbiter Device
Description
The PHY requires either an external 24.576 MHz
crystal or crystal oscillator. The internal oscillator
drives an internal phase-locked loop (PLL), which
generates the required 400 MHz reference signal. The
400 MHz reference signal is internally divided to
provide the 49.152 MHz, 98.304 MHz, and
196.608 MHz clock signals that control transmission of
the outbound encoded strobe and data information.
The 49.152 MHz clock signal is also supplied to the
associated LLC for synchronization of the two chips
and is used for resynchronization of the received data.
The powerdown function, when enabled by the PD
signal high, stops operation of the PLL and disables all
circuitry except the cable-not-active signal circuitry.
The PHY supports an isolation barrier between itself
and its LLC. When /ISO is tied high, the link interface
outputs behave normally. When /ISO is tied low,
internal differentiating logic is enabled, and the outputs
become short pulses, which can be coupled through a
capacitor or transformer as described in the
IEEE 1394-1995 Annex J. To operate with bus-keeper
isolation, the /ISO pin of the FW801 must be tied high.
Data bits to be transmitted through the cable ports are
received from the LLC on two, four, or eight data lines
(D[0:7]), and are latched internally in the PHY in
synchronization with the 49.152 MHz system clock.
These bits are combined serially, encoded, and
transmitted at 98.304 Mbits/s, 196.608 Mbits/s, or
393.216 Mbits/s as the outbound data-strobe
information stream. During transmission, the encoded
data information is transmitted differentially on the TPA
and TPB cable pair(s).
During packet reception, the TPA and TPB
transmitters of the receiving cable port are disabled,
and the receivers for that port are enabled. The
encoded data information is received on the TPA and
TPB cable pair. The received data-strobe information
is decoded to recover the receive clock signal and the
serial data bits. The serial data bits are split into two,
four, or eight parallel streams, resynchronized to the
local system clock, and sent to the associated LLC.
The received data is also transmitted (repeated) out of
the other active (connected) cable ports.
Both the TPA and TPB cable interfaces incorporate
differential comparators to monitor the line states
during initialization and arbitration. The outputs of
these comparators are used by the internal logic to
determine the arbitration status. The TPA channel
monitors the incoming cable common-mode voltage.
The value of this common-mode voltage is used during
arbitration to set the speed of the next packet
(continued)
transmission. In addition, the TPB channel monitors
the incoming cable common-mode voltage for the
presence of the remotely supplied twisted-pair bias
voltage. This monitor is called bias-detect.
The TPBIAS circuit monitors the value of incoming
TPA pair common-mode voltage when local TPBIAS is
inactive. Because this circuit has an internal current
source and the connected node has a current sink, the
monitored value indicates the cable connection status.
This monitor is called connect-detect.
Both the TPB bias-detect monitor and TPBIAS
connect-detect monitor are used in suspend/resume
signaling and cable connection detection.
The PHY provides a 1.86 V nominal bias voltage for
driver load termination. This bias voltage, when seen
through a cable by a remote receiver, indicates the
presence of an active connection. The value of this
bias voltage has been chosen to allow interoperability
between transceiver chips operating from 5 V or 3 V
nominal supplies. This bias voltage source should be
stabilized by using an external filter capacitor of
approximately 0.33 µF.
The transmitter circuitry, the receiver circuitry, and the
twisted-pair bias voltage circuity are all disabled with a
powerdown condition. The powerdown condition
occurs when the PD input is high. The port transmitter
circuitry and the receiver circuitry are also disabled
when the port is disabled, suspended, or
disconnected.
The line drivers in the PHY operate in a highimpedance current mode and are designed to work
with external 112 Ω line-termination resistor networks.
One network is provided at each end of each twistedpair cable. Each network is composed of a pair of
series-connected 56 Ω resistors. The midpoint of the
pair of resistors that is directly connected to the
twisted-pair A (TPA) signals is connected to the
TPBIAS voltage signal. The midpoint of the pair of
resistors that is directly connected to the twisted-pair B
(TPB) signals is coupled to ground through a parallel
RC network with recommended resistor and capacitor
values of 5 kΩ and 220 pF, respectively. The value of
the external resistors are specified to meet the draft
standard specifications when connected in parallel
with the internal receiver circuits.
The driver output current, along with other internal
operating currents, is set by an external resistor. This
resistor is connected between the R0 and R1 signals
and has a value of 2.49 kΩ ± 1%.
The signal, C/LKON, as an input, indicates whether a
node is a contender for bus manager. When the
C/LKON signal is asserted, it means the node is a contender for bus manager. When the signal is not
asserted, it means that the node is not a contender.
The C bit corresponds to bit 20 in the self-ID packet
(see Table 4-29 of the IEEE 1394-1995 standard for
additional details).
The power-class bits of the self-ID packet do not have
a default value. These bits can be initialized and read/
written through the LLC using the PHY Register Map
Figure 6-1 of the IEEE P1394a Draft 2.0 standard. See
Table 8 for the address space of the Pwr_class
register.
A powerdown signal (PD) is provided to allow a powerdown mode where most of the PHY circuits are
powered down to conserve energy in battery-powered
applications. A cable status signal, CNA, provides a
high output when none of twisted-pair cable ports are
receiving incoming bias voltage. This output is not
debounced. The CNA output can be used to determine when to power the PHY down or up. In the
powerdown mode, all circuitry is disabled except the
CNA circuitry. It should be noted that when the device
is powered down, it does not act in a repeater mode.
When the power supply of the PHY is removed while
the twisted-pair cables are connected, the PHY transmitter and receiver circuitry has been designed to
present a high impedance to the cable in order to not
load the TPBIAS signal voltage on the other end of the
cable.
(continued)
For reliable operation, the TPBn signals must be terminated using the normal termination network regardless
of whether a cable is connected to a port or not connected to a port. When a port does not have a cable
connected, internal connect-detect circuitry will keep
the port in a disconnected state.
Note: All gap counts on all nodes of a 1394 bus must
be identical. This may be accomplished by using
PHY configuration packets (see Section 4.3.4.3
of IEEE 1394-1995 standard) or by using two
bus resets, which resets the gap counts to the
maximum level (3Fh).
The link power status (LPS) signal works with the
C/LKON signal to manage the LLC power usage of the
node. The LPS signal indicates that the LLC of the
node is powered up or powered down. If LPS is inactive for more than 1.2 µs and less than 25 µs, PHY/link
interface is reset. If LPS is inactive for greater than
25 µs, the PHY will disable the PHY/link interface to
save power. If the PHY then receives a link-on packet,
the C/LKON signal is activated to output a 6.114 MHz
signal, which can be used by the LLC to power itself
up. Once the LLC is powered up, the LPS signal communicates this to the PHY and the PHY/link interface
is enabled. C/LKON signal is turned off when both LPS
is active and Link_active bit (see Table 9) is set.
Two of the signals are used to set up various test conditions used in manufacturing. These signals, SE and
SM, should be connected to V

17C/LKONI/OBus Manager Capable Input and Link-On Output. On hardware reset, this pin is
used to set the default value of the contender status indicated during self-ID. The
bit value programming is done by tying the signal through a 10 kΩ resistor to V
(high, bus manager capable) or to GND (low, not bus manager capable). Using
either the pull-up or pull-down resistor allows the link-on output to override the input
value when necessary.
After hardware reset, this pin is set as an output, C/LKON indicates the reception of
a link-on message by asserting a 6.114 MHz signal.
13CNAOCable-Not-Active Output. CNA is asserted high when none of the PHY ports are
receiving an incoming bias voltage. This circuit remains active during the powerdown mode.
20CPSICable Power Status. CPS is normally connected to the cable power through a
400 kΩ resistor. This circuit drives an internal comparator that detects the presence
of cable power. This information is maintained in one internal register and is available to the LLC by way of a register read (see IEEE P1394a Draft 2.0 Standard for
a High Performance Serial Bus (Supplement)).

19/ISOILink Interface Isolation Disable Input (Active-Low). /ISO controls the
operation of an internal pulse differentiating function used on the
PHY-LLC interface signals, CTLn and Dn, when they operate as outputs.
When /ISO is asserted low, the isolation barrier is implemented between
PHY and its LLC (as described in Annex J of IEEE 1394-1995).
/ISO is normally tied high to disable isolation differentiation. Bus-keepers
are enabled when /ISO is high (inactive) on CTL, D, and LREQ. When
/ISO is low (active), the bus-keepers are disabled. Please refer to Agere’s
application note AP98-074CMPR for more information on isolation.
14LPSILink Power Status. LPS is connected to either the V
DD supplying the
LLC or to a pulsed output that is active when the LLC is powered for the
purpose of monitoring the LLC power status. If LPS is inactive for more
than 1.2 µs and less than 25 µs, interface is reset. If LPS is inactive for
greater than 25 µs, the PHY will disable to save power. FW801 continues
its repeater function.
