PHY/PMD High Speed Copper Media Transceiver
The NWK914D is a Physical Layer device designed for
use in 100BASE-TX applications. The NWK914D has
integrated the 100mb/s transceiver, clock and data recovery
and NRZI conversion circuitry. It is designed for use in cost
effective NIC adapter cards and 100BASE-TX repeater and
switch applications.
The device connects through a 5 bit symbol interface
directly with any MAC controller that includes the PCS layer,
resulting in a simple and cost effective solution. It will also
interface with a PCS device such as the NWK935 to form a
complete 100BASE-TX Physical Layer for connection to the
IEEE 802.3 standard MII interface.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The functional blocks within the device are shown in Fig. 3.
These are described below:-
Transmit Section
Times Five Clock Multiplier 25MHz to 125MHz
This circuit consists of a phase lock loop (PLL) that is
operating at 125MHz, centre frequency. The 125MHz is
divided by 5 to produce a 25MHz clock which is phase
compared with a 25MHz crystal clock reference frequency
which is input on pin REFCLK. The 25MHz clock (pin TXC)
is then sent to the PCS layer to clock in in the 5 bit nibble
data. Pins LFTA and LFTB are provided to set the VCO
characteristics. The recommended loop filter components
are shown in Fig.6.
A control current is derived from the clock multiplier and
is used by the receive clock recovery circuit to centre the
PLL when no input data is present.
Five Bit Nibble to 125MHz Shifter
Data is input to the transmit side in 5 bit wide parallel
form on pins TDAT0 through TDAT4. This NRZ data is
clocked in on the positive edge of the 25MHz clock pin TXC.
The parallel data is first loaded into a 5 bit wide register prior
to being loaded into a 5 bit PISO where it is converted into
a serial data stream. The last stage of the shifter incorporates
a converter to change the data from NRZ to NRZI.
NRZ to MLT3 Encoder
The serial data from the shifter then passes through an
encoder which converts the NRZI binary data into the three
level MLT-3 format for transmission by the 'TXO' outputs.
Transmit Line Drivers
There are two on-chip Line Drivers both of which share
the output pins TXOP and TXON. The N10/100 pin is used
to control which driver is active and allowed to drive the line.
When held high the MLT-3 data is output by the 100Mb/s
driver. This driver consists of differential current source
outputs with programmable sink capability, designed to
drive a nominal output impedance of 50Ω.
Output current is set by the value of an external resistor
) between pin 'TXREF' and 'TXGND'.
(R
REF
This resistor defines an internal reference current derived
from an on-chip bandgap reference.
Final output current at the 'TXO' outputs is a multiple of
this current and is defined as:-
I
(mA) = 52/R
TXO
REF
(kΩ)
Transition times of the 'TXO' outputs are matched and
internally limited to approx. 2.5ns to reduce EMI emissions.
