Description
The CS8952 uses CMOS technology to deliver a highperformance, low-cost 100BASE-X/10BASE-T Physical
Layer (PHY) line interface. It makes use of an adaptive
equalizer optimized for noise and near end crosstalk
(NEXT) immunity to extend receiver operation to cable
lengths exceeding 160 m. In addition, the transmit circuitry has been designed to provide extremely low
transmit jitter (<400 ps) for improved link partner performance. Transmit driver common mode noise has been
minimized to reduce EMI for simplified FCC certification.
The CS8952 incorporates a standard Media Independent Interface (MII) for easy connection to a variety of 10
and 100 Mb/s Media Access Controllers (MACs). The
CS8952 also includes a pseudo-ECL interface for use
with 100Base-FX fiber interconnect modules.

CS8952
2. INTRODUCTION
The CS8952 is a complete physical-layer transceiver for 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T applications.
Additionally, the CS8952 can be used with an external optical module for 100BASE-FX.
2.1High Performance Analog
The highly integrated mixed-signal design of the
CS8952 eliminates the need for external analog circuitry such as external transmit or receive filters.
The CS8952 builds upon Cirrus Logic’s experience
in pioneering the high-volume manufacturing of
10BASE-T integrated circuits with “true” internal
filters.TheCS8952,CS8920,CS8904,and
CS8900 include fifth-order, continuous-time Butterworth 10BASE-T transmit and receive filters, allowing those products to meet 10BASE-T wave
shape, emission, and frequency content requirements without external filters.
2.2Low Power Consumption
The CS8952 is implemented in low power CMOS,
consuming only 135 mA typically. Three low-power modes are provided to make the CS8952 ideal
for power sensitive applications such as CardBus.
2.3Application Flexibility
The CS8952’s digital interface and operating
modes can be tailored to efficiently support a wide
variety of applications. For example, the Media Independent Interface (MII) supports 100BASE-TX,
100BASE-FX and 10BASE-T NIC cards, switch
ports and router ports. Additionally, the low-latency “repeater” interface mode minimizes data delay
through the CS8952, facilitating system compliance with overall network delay budgets. To support 10BASE-T applications, the CS8952 provides
a 10BASE-T serial port (Seven-wire ENDEC interface).
2.4Typical Connection Diagram
Figure 1 illustrates a typical MII to CS8952 appli-
cation with twisted-pair and fiber interfaces. Refer
to the Analog Design Considerations section for
detailed information on power supply requirements
and decoupling, crystal and magnetics requirements, and twisted-pair and fiber transceiver connections.
3. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The CS8952is a complete physical-layer transceiver for 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T applications.
It provides a Physical Coding Sub-layer for communication with an external MAC (Media Access
Controller). The CS8952 also includes a complete
PhysicalMediumAttachmentlayeranda
100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T Physical Medium
Dependent layer. Additionally, the CS8952 provides a PECL interface to an external optical module for 100BASE-FX applications.
The primary digital interface to the CS8952 is an
enhanced IEEE 802.3 Media Independent Interface
(MII). The MII supports parallel data transfer, access to the CS8952 Control and Status registers,
and several status and control pins. The CS8952's
operating modes can be tailored to support a wide
variety of applications, including low-latency
100BASE-TX repeaters, switches and MII-based
network interface cards.
For 100BASE-TX applications, the digital data interface can be either 4-bit parallel (nibbles) or 5-bit
parallel (code-groups). For 10BASE-T applications, the digital data format can be either 4-bit parallel (nibbles) or one-bit serial.
The CS8952 is controlled primarily by configuration registers via the MII Management Interface.
Additionally, a number of the most fundamental
register bits can be set at power-up and reset time
by connecting pull-up or pull-down resistors to external pins.
The CS8952's MII interface is enhanced beyond
IEEE requirements by register extensions and the
addition of pins for MII_IRQ
DEF signals. The MII_IRQ
rupt signal to the controller when a change of state
has occurred in the CS8952, eliminating the need
for the system to poll the CS8952 for state changes.
The RX_EN signal allows the receiver outputs to
be electrically isolated. The ISODEF pin controls
the value of register bit ISOLATE in the Basic
Mode Control Register (address 00h) which in turn
electrically isolates the CS8952's MII data path.
3.1Major Operating Modes
The following sections describe the four major operating modes of the CS8952:
-100BASE-X MII Modes (TX and FX)
-100BASE-X Repeater Modes
-10BASE-T MII Mode
-10BASE-T Serial Mode
The choice of operating speed (10 Mb/s versus
100 Mb/s) is made using the auto-negotiation input
pins (AN0, AN1) and/or the auto-negotiation MII
registers. The auto-negotiation capability also is
used to select a duplex mode (full or half duplex).
Both speed and duplex modes can either be forced
or negotiated with the far-end link partner.
The digital interface mode (MII, repeater, or
10BASE-T serial) is selected by input pins
BPALIGN, BP4B5B and 10BT_SER as shown in
Table 1. Speed and duplex selection are made
through the AN[1:0] pins as shown in Table 5.

3.1.1100BASE-X MII Application (TX
and FX)
The CS8952 provides an IEEE 802.3-compliant
MII interface. Data is transferred across the MII in
four-bit parallel (nibble) mode. TX_CLK and
RX_CLK are nominally 25 MHz for 100BASE-X.
The 100BASE-X mode includes both the TX and
FX modes, as determined by pin BPSCR (bypass
scrambler), or the BPSCR bit (bit 13) in the Loopback, Bypass, and Receiver Error Mask Register
(address 18h). In FX mode, an external optical
module is connected to the CS8952 via pins
TX_NRZ+, TX_NRZ-, RX_NRZ+, RX_NRZ-,
SIGNAL+, and SIGNAL-. In FX mode, the MLT3/NRZI conversion blocks and the scrambler/descrambler are bypassed.
3.1.1.1Symbol Encoding and Decoding
In 100BASE-X modes, 4-bit nibble transmit data is
encoded into 5-bit symbols for transmission onto
the media as shown in Tables 2 and 3. The encoding is necessary to allow data and control symbols
to be sent consecutively along the same media
transparent to the MAC layer. This encoding causes the symbol rate transmitted across the wire (125
symbols/second) to be greater than the actual data
rate of the system (100 symbols/second).

3.1.1.2100 Mb/s Loopback
One of two internal 100BASE-TX loopback modes
can be selected. Local loopback redirects the
TXD[3:0] input data to RXD[3:0] data outputs
through the 4B5B coders and scramblers. Local
loopback is selected by asserting pin LPBK, by setting the LPBK bit (bit 14) in the Basic Mode Control Register (address 00h) or by setting bits 8 and
11 in the Loopback, Bypass, and Receiver Error
Mask Register (address 18h) as shown in Table 4.
Remote loopback redirects the analog line interface
inputs to the analog line driver outputs. Remote
loopback is selected by setting bit 9 in the Loopback, Bypass, and Receiver Error Mask Register
(address 18h) as shown in Table 4.
When changing between local and non-loopback
modes, the data on RXD[3:0] will be undefined for
approximately 330 µs.

3.1.2100BASE-X Repeater Application
The CS8952 provides two low latency modes for
repeater applications. These are selected by asserting either pin BPALIGN or BP4B5B. Both pins
have the effect of bypassing the 4B5B encoder and
decoder. Bypassing the coders decreases latency,
and uses a 5-bit wide parallel code group interface
on pins RXD[4:0] and TXD[4:0] instead of the 4bit wide MII nibble interface on pins RXD[3:0] and
TXD[3:0]. In repeater mode, pin RX_ER is redefined as the fifth receive data bit (RXD4), and pin
TX_ER is redefined as the fifth transmit data bit
(TXD4).
BPALIGN can also be selected by setting bit 12 in
Loopback, Bypass, and Receiver Error Mask Register (address 18h). BP4B5B can be selected by setting bit 14 of the same register.
Pin BPALIGN causes more of the CS8952 to be
bypassed than the BP4B5B pin. BPALIGN also bypasses the scrambler/descrambler, and the NRZI to
NRZ converters (see Figure 1). Also, for repeater
applications, pin REPEATER should be asserted to
redefine the function of the CRS (carrier sense) pin.
The REPEATER function may also be invoked by
setting bit 12 in the PCS Sublayer Configuration
Register (address 17h).
For repeater applications, the RX_EN pin can be
used to gate the receive data pins (RXD[4:0],
CrystalLAN™ 100BASE-X and 10BASE-T Transceiver23
CS8952
RX_CLK, RX_DV, COL, and CRS) onto a shared,
external repeater system bus.
3.1.310BASE-T MII Application
The digital interface used in this mode is the same
as that used in the 100BASE-X MII mode except
thatTX_CLKandRX_CLKarenominally
2.5 MHz.
The CS8952 includes a full-featured 10BASE-T in-
terface, as described in the following sections.
3.1.3.1Full and Half Duplex operation
The 10BASE-T function supports full and half duplex operation as determined by pins AN[1:0]
and/or the corresponding MII register bits. (See Table 5).
3.1.3.2Collision Detection
If half duplex operation is selected, the CS8952 detects a 10BASE-T collision whenever the receiver
and transmitter are active simultaneously. When a
collision is present, the collision is reported on pin
COL. Collision detection is undefined for full-duplex operation.
3.1.3.3Jabber
The jabber timer monitors the transmitter and disables the transmissionif the transmitter is active for
greaterthan approximately 105 ms. The transmitter
stays disabled until approximately 406 ms after the
internal transmit request is no longer enabled.
3.1.3.4Link Pulses
To prevent disruption of network operation due to a
faulty link segment, the CS8952 continually monitors the 10BASE-T receive pair (RXD+ and RXD-)
for packets and link pulses. After each packet or link
pulse is received, an internal Link-Loss timer is
started. As long as a packet or link pulse is received
before the Link-Loss timer finishes (between 50 and
100 ms), the CS8952 maintains normal operation. If
no receive activity is detected, the CS8952 disables
packet transmission to prevent “blind” transmissions onto the network (link pulses are still sent
while packet transmission is disabled). To reactivate
transmission, the receiver must detect a single packet (the packet itself is ignored), or two normal link
pulses separated by more than 6 ms and no more
than 50 ms.
The CS8952 automatically checks the polarity of
the receive half of the twisted pair cable. To detect
a reversed pair, the receiver examines received link
pulses and the End-of-Frame (EOF) sequence of
incoming packets. If it detects at least one reversed
link pulse and at least four frames in a row with
negative polarity after the EOF, the receive pair is
considered reversed. If the polarity is reversed and
bit 1 of the 10BASE-T Configuration Register (address 1Ch), is set, the CS8952 automatically corrects a reversal.
In the absence of transmit packets, the transmitter
generateslinkpulsesinaccordancewith
Section 14.2.1.1 of the Ethernet standard. Transmitted link pulses are positive pulses, one bit time
wide, typically generated at a rate of one every
16 ms. The 16 ms timer also starts whenever the
transmitter completes an End-of-Frame (EOF) sequence. Thus, a link pulse will be generated 16 ms
after an EOF unless there is another transmitted
packet.
3.1.3.5Receiver Squelch
The 10BASE-T squelch circuit determines when
valid data is present on the RXD+/RXD- pair. Incoming signals passing through the receive filter
are tested by the squelch circuit. Any signal with
amplitude less than the squelch threshold (either
positive or negative, depending on polarity) is rejected.
3.1.3.610BASE-T Loopback
When Loopback is selected, the TXD[3:0] pins are
looped back into the RXD[3:0] pins through the
24CrystalLAN™ 100BASE-X and 10BASE-T Transceiver
CS8952
Manchester Encoder and Decoder. Selection is
made via:
-setting bit 14 in the Basic Mode Control
Register (address 00h) or
-setting bits 8 and 11 in the Loopback, Bypass, and Receiver Error Mask Register
(address 18h) or
-asserting the LPBK pin.
3.1.3.7Carrier Detection
The carrier detect circuit informs the MAC that valid receive data is present by asserting the Carrier
Sense signal (CRS) as soon it detects a valid bit pattern (1010b or 0101b for 10BASE-T). During normal packet reception, CRS remains asserted while
the frame is being received, and is de-asserted
within 2.3 bit times after the last low-to-high transition of the End-of-Frame (EOF) sequence. Whenever the receiver is idle (no receive activity), CRS
is de-asserted.
3.1.410BASE-T Serial Application
This mode is selected when pin 10BT_SERis asserted during power-up or reset, and operates similar to the 10BASE_T MII mode except that data is
transferred serially on pins RXD0 and TXD0 using
a10MHzRX_CLKandTX_CLK.Receivedatais
framed by CRS rather than RX_DV.
3.2Auto-Negotiation
The CS8952 supports auto-negotiation, which is
the mechanism that allows the two devices on either end of an Ethernet link segment to share information and automatically configure both devices
for maximum performance. When configured for
auto-negotiation, the CS8952 will detect and automatically operate full-duplex at 100 Mb/s if the device on the other end of the link segment also
supports full-duplex, 100 Mb/s operation, and
auto-negotiation. The CS8952 auto-negotiation capability is fully compliant with the relevant portions of section 28 of the IEEE 802.3u standard.
The CS8952 can auto-negotiate both operating
speed (10 versus 100 Mb/s), duplex mode (half duplex versus full duplex), and flow control (pause
frames), or alternatively can be set not to negotiate.
At power-up and reset times, the auto-negotiation
mode is selected via the auto-negotiation input pins
(AN[1:0]). This selection can later be changed using the Auto-Negotiation Advertisement Register
(address 04h).
Pins AN[1:0] are three level inputs, and have the
function shown in Table 5.
Auto-Negotiation encapsulates information within
a burst of closely spaced Link Integrity Test Pulses,
referred to as a Fast Link Pulse (FLP) Burst. The
FLP Burst consists of a series of Link Integrity
Pulses which form an alternating clock / data sequence. Extraction of the data bits from the FLP
Burst yields a Link Code Word which identifies the
capability of the remote device.
CS8952
SET bit (bit 15 of the Basic Mode Control Register (address 00h)) is set.
4) Digital circuitry is reset whenever bit 0 of the
PCS Sub-Layer Configuration Register (address 17h) is set. Analog circuitry is unaffected.
5) Analog circuitry is reset and recalibrated whenever the CS8952 enters or exits the powerdown state, as requested by pin PWRDN.
6) Analog circuitry is reset and recalibrated whenever the CS8952 changes between 10 Mb/s and
100 Mb/s modes.
After a reset, the CS8952 latches the signals on various input pins in order to initialize key registers
and goes through a self configuration. This includes calibrating on-chip analog circuitry. Time
required for t he reset calibration is typically 40 ms.
External circuitry may access registers internal to
the CS8952 during this time. Reset and calibration
complete is indicated when bit 15 of the Basic
Mode Control Register (address 00h) is clear.
In order to support legacy 10 and 100 Mb/s devices, the CS8952 also supports parallel detection. In
parallel detection, the CS8952 monitors activity on
the media to determine the capability of the link
partner even without auto-negotiation having occurred.
3.3Reset Operation
Resetoccurs in responseto six differentconditions:
1) There is a chip-wide reset whenever the RESET pin is high for at least 200 ns. During a
chip-wide reset, all circuitry and registers in the
CS8952 are reset.
2) When power is applied, the CS8952 maintains
reset until the voltage at the VDD supply pins
reaches approximately 3.6 V. The CS8952
comes out of reset once VDD is greater than approximately 3.6 V and the crystal oscillator has
stabilized.
3.4LED Indicators
The LEDx, SPD100, and SPD10 output pins provide status information that can be used to drive
LEDs or can be used as inputs to external control
circuitry. Indication options include: receive activity, transmit activity, collision, carrier sense, polarity OK, descrambler synchronization status, autonegotiation status, speed (10 vs. 100), and duplex
mode.
4. MEDIA INDEPENDENT INTERFACE
(MII)
The Media Independent Interface (MII) provides a
simple interconnect to an external Media Access
Controller (MAC). This connection may be chip to
chip, motherboard to daughterboard, or a connection between two assemblies attached by a limited
length of shielded cable and an appropriate connector.
3) There is a chip-wide reset whenever the RE-

STATUS Pins
-COL - Collision indication, valid only for
half duplex modes.
-CRS - Carrier Sense indication
SERIAL MANAGEMENT Pins
-MDIO - a bi-directional serial data path
-MDC - clock for MDIO (16.7 MHz max)
-MII_IRQ
- Interrupt indicating change in
the Interrupt Status Register (address 11h)
RECEIVE DATA Pins
-RXD[3:0] - Parallel data output path
-RX_CLK - Recovered clock output
-RX_DV - Indicates when receive data is
present and valid
-RX_ER - Indicates presence of error in received data
-RX_EN - Can be used to tri-state receiver
output pins
TRANSMIT DATA Pins
-TXD[3:0] - Parallel data input path
-TX_CLK - Transmit clock
-TX_EN - Indicates when transmit data is
present and valid
-TX_ER - Request to transmit a 100BASET HALT symbol, ignored for 10BASE-T
operation.
The interface uses TTL signal levels, which are
compatible with devices operating at a nominal
supply voltage of either 5.0 or 3.3 volts. It is capable of supporting either 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s data
rates transparently. That is, all signaling remains
identical at either data rate; only the nominal clock
frequency is changed.
4.1MII Frame Structure
Data frames transmitted through the M II have the
following format:
Preamble
(7 Bytes)
Start of
Frame
Delimiter
(1 Byte)
DataEnd of
Frame
Delimiter
Each frame is preceded by an inter-frame gap. The
inter-frame gap is an unspecified time during
which no data activity occurs on the media as indicated by the de-assertion of CRS for the receive
path and TX_EN for the transmit path.
The Preamble consists of seven bytes of 10101010.
The Start of Frame Delimiter consists of a single
byte of 10101011.
Data may be any number of bytes.
The End of Frame Delimiter is conveyed by the de-
assertion of RX_DV and TX_EN for receive and
transmit paths, respectively.
Transmission and/or reception of each byte of data
is done one nibble at a time in the following order:

4.2MII Receive Data
The presence of recovered data on the RXD[3:0]
bus is indicated by the assertion of RX_DV.
RX_DV will remain asserted from the beginning of
the preamble (or Start of Frame Delimiter if preamble is not used) to the End of Frame Delimiter.
Once RX_DV is asserted, valid data will be driven
CrystalLAN™ 100BASE-X and 10BASE-T Transceiver27
CS8952
onto RXD[3:0] synchronously with respect to
RX_CLK.
Receive errors are indicated during frame reception
by the assertion of RX_ER. It indicates that an error
was detected somewhere in the frame currently being transferred across the MII. RX_ER will transition synchronously with respect to the RX_CLK,
and willbe held highfor one cyclefor each error received. It is up to the MAC to ensure that a CRC error is detected in that frame by the Logical Link
Control. Figure 2 illustrates reception without errors, and Figure 3 illustrates reception with errors.
4.3MII Transmit Data
TX_EN is used by the MAC to signal to the
CS8952 that valid nibblesof data are being presented across the MII via TXD[3:0]. TX_EN must be
asserted synchronously with the first nibble of preamble, and must remain asserted as long as valid
data is being presented to the MII.
TX_EN must be de-asserted within one TX_CLK
cycle after the last nibble of data (CRC) has been
presented to the CS8952. When TX_EN is not asserted, data on TXD[3:0] is ignored.
Transmit errors should be signaled by the MAC by
asserting TX_ER for one or more TX_CLK cycles.
TX_ER must be synchronous with TX_CLK. This
will cause the CS8952 to replace the nibble with a
HALT symbol in the frame being transmitted. This
invalid data will be detected by the receiving PHY
and flagged as a bad frame. Figure 4 illustrates
transmission without errors, and Figure 5 illustrates
transmission with errors.
4.4MII Management Interface
The CS8952 provides an enhanced IEEE 802.3 MII
Management Interface. The interface consists of
three signals: a bi-directional serial data line
(MDIO), a data clock (MDC), and an optional interrupt signal (MII_IRQ). The Management Interfacecanbeusedtoaccessstatusandcontrol
registers internal to the CS8952. The CS8952 implements an extended set of 16-bit MII registers.

specification, while the remaining registers provide
enhanced monitoring and control capabilities.
As many as 31 devices may share a single Management Interface. A unique five-bit PHY address is
associated with each device, with all devices responding to PHY address 00000. The CS8952 determines its PHY address at power-up or reset
through the PHYAD[4:0] pins.
4.5MII Management Frame Structure
Frames transmitted through the MII Management
Interface have the following format (Table 6):
HALT
When the management interface is idle, the MDIO
signal will be tri-stated, and the MAC is required to
keep MDIO pulled to a logic ONE.
At the beginning of each transaction, the MAC will
typically send a sequence of 32 contiguous logic
ONE bits on MDIO with 32 corresponding clock
cycles on MDC to provide the CS8952 with a pattern that it can use to establish synchronization.
Optionally, the CS8952 may be configured to operate without the preamble through bit 9 of the PCS
Sub-Layer Configuration Register (address 17h).

A read transaction is indicated by an Opcode of 10

The PHY Address is five bits, with the most significant bit sent first. If the PHY address included in
the frame is not 00000 or does not match the PHYAD field of the Self Status Register (address 19h),
the rest of the frame is ignored.
The register address is five bits, with the most significant bit sent first, and indicates the CS8952 register to be written to/read from.
The Turnaround time is a two bit time spacing between when the MAC drives the last register address bit onto MDIO and the data field of a
management frame in order to avoid contention
during a read transaction. For a read transaction,
the MAC should tri-state the MDIO pin beginning
on the first bit time, and the CS8952 will begin
driving the MDIO signal to a logic ZERO during
the second bit time. During write transactions,
since the MDIO direction does not need to be reversed, the MAC will drive the MDIO to a logic
ONE for the first bit time and a logic ZERO for the
second.
The data field is always 16 bits in length, with the
most significant bit sent first.
5. CONFIGURATION
The CS8952 can be configured in a variety of ways.
All control and status information can be accessed
via the MII Serial Management Interface. Additionally, many configuration options can be set at
power-up or reset times via individual control lines.
Some configuration capabilities are available at
any time via individual control lines.

5.3Configuration via the MII
The CS8952 supports configuration by software
control through the use of 16-bit configuration and
status registers accessed via the MDIO/MDC pins
(MII Management Interface). The first seven registers are defined by the IEEE 802.3 specification.
Additional registers extend the register set to provide enhanced monitoring and control capabilities.
6. CS8952 REGISTERS

the jabber logic and this bit is set. If JabberiE (Interrupt Mask Register (address 10h), bit 3) is set, an MII
Interrupt will be generated.
This bit is implemented with a latching function so
that the occurrence of a jabber condition causes it to
become set until it is cleared by a read to this register, a read to the Interrupt Status Register (address
11h), or a reset.
No jabber detect function has been defined for
100BASE-TX.

packets are allowed until Rx Disable is cleared again.
Also, if Rx Disable is cleared while a packet is being
received, the receiver will remain disabled until the

7. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
The CS8952 is a mixed-signal device containing
the high-speed digital and analog circuits required
to implement Fast Ethernet communication. It is
important the designer adhere to the following
guidelines and recommendations for proper and reliable operation of the CS8952. These guidelines
will also benefit the design with good EMC performance.
7.1Twisted Pair Interface
The recommended connection of the twisted-pair
interface is shown if Figure 6. The unused cable
pairs are terminated to increase the common-mode
performance. Common-mode performance is also
improved by connecting the center taps of the RX

and TX input circuits to the DC-isolated ground
plane. The 0.01 µF capacitor C1 must provide 2KV
(1,500 Vrms for 60 seconds) of isolation to meet
802.3 requirements. If a shielded RJ45 connector is
used (recommended), the shield should be connected to chassis ground.
7.2100BASE-FX Interface
Figure 7 shows the recommended connection for a
100BASE-FX interface to aHewlett-Packard
HFBR-5103 fiber transceiver. Termination circuitry may need to be revised for other fiber transceivers. The FX Drive bit in the Loopback, Bypass, and
Receiver Error Mask Register (address 18h) may
be used to tailor the PECL interface for 50 Ω or
150 Ωloads.

TX_NRZ+/- termination components should be
placed as close to the fiber transceiver as possible,
while RX_NRZ+/- and SIGNAL+/- termination
components should be placed close to the CS8952.
The CS8952 100BASE-FX interface IO pins
(TX_NRZ+, TX_NRZ-, RX_NRZ+, RX_NRZ-,
SIGNAL+, and SIGNAL-) may be left unconnected if a fiber interface is not used.
7.3Internal Voltage Reference
A 4.99 kΩ biasing resistor must be connected between the CS8952 RES pin and ground. This resis-
tor biases the internal analog circuits of the CS8952
and should be placed as close as possible to RES
pin. Connect the other end of this resistor directly
to the ground plane. Connect the adjacent CS8952
ground pins (pins 85 and 87) to the grounded end of
the resistor forming a “shield” around the RES connection.
7.4Clocking Schemes
The CS8952 may be clocked using one of three
possible schemes: using a 25 MHz crystal and the
internal oscillator, using an external oscillator sup-

CS8952
with transformers meeting these requirements.
However, the designer should evaluate the magnetics for suitability in their specific design.
7.6Power Supply and Decoupling
The CS8952 supports connection to either a 3.3 V
or 5.0 V MII. When connected to a +5.0 V MII, all
power pins should be provided +5.0 V +/- 5%, and
all signal inputs should be referenced to +5.0V.
When interfaced with a 3.3 V MII, VDD_MII power pins should be provided +3.3 V +/- 5%, VDD
power pins should be provided +5.0 V +/- 5%, and
all signal inputs should be referenced to +3.3 V.
When a 25 MHz crystal is used, it should be placed
within one inch of the XTAL_I and XTAL_O pins
of the CS8952. The crystal traces should be short,
have no vias, and run on the component side.
Table 7 lists examples of manufacturers of suitable
crystals. The designer should evaluate their crystal
selection for suitability in their specific design.
An external CMOS clock source may be connected
to the XTAL_I pin, with the XTAL_O pin left
open. The input capacitance of the XTAL_I pin is
larger than the other inputs (a maximum of 35pF),
since it includes the additional load capacitance of
the crystal oscillator. Care should be taken to assure any external clock source attached to XTAL_I
is capable of driving higher capacitive loads. The
clock signal should be 25 MHz ±0.01% with a duty
cycle between 45% and 55%.
When the XTAL_I pin load is a problem, or only a
TTL level clock source is available, the CS8952
can be clocked through the TX_CLK pin, providing the TX_CLK mode is set appropriately using
the TCM pin. The clock frequency will be dependent on the operating mode.
7.5Recommended Magnetics
The CS8952 requires an isolation transformer with
a 1:1 turns ratio for both the transmit and receive
signals. Table 7 lists examples of manufacturers

7.7General Layout Recommendations
The following PCB layout recommendations will
help ensure reliable operation of the CS8952 and
good EMC performance.
•Use a multilayer Printed Circuit Board with at
least one ground and one power plane. A typical +5V MII application would be as follows:
Layer 1: (top) Components and first choice sig-
nal routing
Layer 2: Ground
Layer 3: Power (+5V)
Layer 4: (bottom) Second choice signal rout-
ing, bypass components
Place transformer TI as close to the RJ45 connec-
•
tor as possible with the secondary (network) side
facing the RJ45 and the primary (chip) side facing
the analog side (pins 76-100) of CS8952. Place
theCS8952inturnasclosetoT1aspos
•Use the bottom layer for signal routing as a second choice. You may place all components on
the top layer. However, bypass capacitors are
optimally placed as close to the chip as possible
and may be best located underneath the
CS8952 on the bottom layer. Termination components at the RJ-45 and fiber transceiver may
also be optimally placed on the bottom layer.
•Connect a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor to each
CS8952 VDD and VDD_MII pin. Place it as
close to its corresponding power pin as possible
and connect the other lead directly to the
ground plane.
•The 4.99K reference resistor should be placed
as close to the RES pin as possible. Connect the
other end of this resistor to the ground plane using a via. Connect the adjacent VSS pins (pins
85 and 87) to the grounded end of the resistor
forming a shield as illustrated in Figure 8.
•Controlled impedance is necessary for critical
signalsTX+/-,RX+/-,TX_NRZ+/-,and
RX_NRZ+/-. These should be run as microstrip

transmission lines (100 Ωdifferential,50 Ωsingle-ended). The MII signals should be 68 Ωmicrostrip transmission lines. (For short MII
signal paths one may standardize on a given
trace width for all traces without significant
degradation in signal integrity.)
•Avoid routing traces other than the TX and RX
signals under transformer T1 and the RJ45 connector. Signals may run on the bottom side underneath the CS8952 as long as they stay away
from critical analog traces.
•Connect all CS8952 ground and power pins directly to the ground and power planes, respectively. Note: The VDD_MII power pins may
need their own power plane or plane segment in
+3.3 V MII applications.
•Depending on the orientation and location of
the transformer, the CS8952, and the RJ-45,
and on whether the application is for a NIC or a
switch,theRXandTXpairsmayneedtocross.
This should be done by changing layers on a
pair by pair basis only, using the minimum
number of vias, and making sure that each trace
within a pair “sees” the same path as its peer.
Figure 6 shows the CS8952 in a NIC or adapter
configuration. It may be configured for a hub or
repeater application by changing the wiring to
the RJ-45 as shown in Table 8.
•Differential pair transmission lines should be
routed close together (one trace width spacing
edge-to-edge) and kept at least two trace widths
away from other traces, components, etc. TX
and RX pairs should be routed away from each
other and may use opposite sides of the PCB as
necessary, Each member of the differential pair
should “see” the same PCB terrain as its peer.
•Unused spaces on the signal layers should be
filled with ground fill (pour). Vias should connect the ground patches to the ground plane.
This is especially recommended (symmetrical-
•No signal current carrying planes, i.e. no
ground or power plane, should be present underneath the region between the transformer
secondary (network) side and the RJ-45. However,achassisplanemaybeaddedinthisregion to pick up the metal tabs of a shielded RJ-
45. This chassis plane should be separated from
the ground and power planes by at least
50 mils. That is, all other ground and power
planes should be “cookie cuttered” so they are
voided in the area of the chassis plane. Generally speaking, parts should not cross the moat
except for the transformer.
•Proper termination practices must be used with
all transmission lines, especially if sending and
receiving high speed signals on and off the
board. Series terminations must be kept close to
the source and load terminations close to the
load. Thus the TX_NRZ+/- termination components must be kept close to the fiber optic

transceiver, and the RX_NRZ+/- and SIGNAL+/- termination components must be kept
close to the CS8952.
•Locate the crystal as close to the CS8952 as
possible, running short traces on the component
side in order to reduce parasitic load capacitance.
•Add bulk capacitance at each connector where
power may be supplied. For example, MII power may be provided at the MII connector and at
a separate connector for test purposes. If so, and
the two connectors are not adjacent, then the
bulk capacitors should be duplicated in each locations.
•Use wide traces to connect the “Bob Smith” termination resistors at T1 and the RJ-45 to the
2 KV capacitor or c apacitors in order to minimize their lead inductance.

RX_DV is low and RXD[3:0] = “1110”, RX_ER high indicates a False Carrier condition.
If either BPALIGN or BP4B5B is asserted, then this pin is re-defined as RXD4 (Receive Data 4), the

In order to conform with Annex 22B of the IEEE 802.3u specification, the MII_DRV pin should be pulled
high during power-up or reset, and the RX_ER pin should have an external 33 Ω series resistor. For

TX_ER/TXD4 - Transmit Error Encoding/Transmit Data 4. Input, Pin 38.
When high, TX_ER indicates to the CS8952 that a transmit error has occurred. If TX_ER is asserted
simultaneously with TX_EN in 100 Mb/s mode, the CS8952 will ignore the data on the TXD[3:0] pins
and transmit one or more 100 Mb/s HALT symbols in its place. In 10 Mb/s mode, TX_ER has no effect
on the transmitted data.
If BP4B5B or BPALIGN are set, TX_ER/TXD4 is used to transmit the most-significant bit of the five-bit
code group.
Transmit data input pins. For MII modes, nibble-wide data (synchronous to TX_CLK) must be presented
on pins TXD[3:0] when TX_EN is asserted high. TXD0 is the least significant bit. In 10 Mb/s serial

external 4.7 KΩ pull-up or pull-down resistor.
AN[1:0] - Auto-Negotiate Control. Input, Pins 58 and 57.
These three-level input pins are sampled during power-up or reset. They control the forced or
advertised auto-negotiation operating modes. If one of these pins is left unconnected, internal logic pulls
its signal to a mid-range value, 'M'.
Auto-Negotiation may also be enabled and the advertised capabilities modified under software control
through bit 8 of the Basic Mode Control Register (address 00h), and bits 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 of the AutoNegotiation Advertisement Register (address 04h).
