While in 10BASE-T Half Duplex mode with heartbeat enabled this

pin is also asserted for a duration of approximately 1µs at the end

of transmission to indicate heartbeat (SQE test).

In Full Duplex Mode, for 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s operation, this signal is always logic 0. There is no heartbeat function during 10 Mb/s full duplex operation.

RMII COLLISION DETECT: Per the RMII Specification, no COL signal is required. The MAC will recover CRS from the CRS_DV signal and use that along with its TX_EN signal to determine col lision.

SNI COLLISION DETECT: Asserted high to indicate detection of a collision condition (simultaneous transmit and receive activity) in 10 Mb/s SNI mode.

DP83848I. Asserting this pin low for at least 1 µs will force a reset

process to occur. All internal registers will re-initialize to their de fault states as specified for each bit in the Register Block section. All strap options are re-initialized as well.

The default function of this pin is POWER DOWN.

POWER DOWN: The pin is an active low input in this mode and should be asserted low to put the device in a Power Down mode.

INTERRUPT: The pin is an open drain output in this mode and will be asserted low when an interrupt condition occurs. Although the pin has a weak internal pull-up, some applications may require an external pull-up resister. Register access is required for the pin to be used as an interrupt mechanism. See Mechanism for more details on the interrupt mechanisms.

PHY ADDRESS [4:0]: The DP83848I provides five PHY address pins, the state of which are latched into the PHYCTRL register at system Hardware-Reset.

The DP83848I supports PHY Address strapping values 0 (<00000>) through 31 (<11111>). A PHY Address of 0 puts the part into the MII Isolate Mode. The MII isolate mode must be se lected by strapping Phy Address 0; changing to Address 0 by register write will not put the Phy in the MII isolate mode. Please refer to section 2.3 for additional information.

PHYAD0 pin has weak internal pull-up resistor.

PHYAD[4:1] pins have weak internal pull-down resistors.

A 2.2 kΩ resistor should be used for pull-down or pull-up to

change the default strap option. If the default option is required, then there is no need for external pull-up or pull

down resistors. Since these pins may have alternate func

tions after reset is deasserted, they should not be connected directly to VCC or GND.

2.0 Configuration

This section includes information on the various configuration options available with the DP83848I. The configuration options described below include:

DP83848I

— Auto-Negotiation — PHY Address and LEDs — Half Duplex vs. Full Duplex — Isolate mode — Loopback mode —BIST

2.1 Auto-Negotiation

The Auto-Negotiation function provides a mechanism for exchanging configuration information between two ends of a link segment and automatically selecting the highest per formance mode of operation supported by both devices. Fast Link Pulse (FLP) Bursts provide the signalling used to communicate Auto-Negotiation abilities between two devices at each end of a link segment. For further detail regarding Auto-Negotiation, refer to Clause 28 of the IEEE

802.3u specification. The DP83848I supports four different Ethernet protocols (10 Mb/s Half Duplex, 10 Mb/s Full Duplex, 100 Mb/s Half Duplex, and 100 Mb/s Full Duplex), so the inclusion of Auto-Negotiation ensures that the high est performance protocol will be selected based on the advertised ability of the Link Partner. The Auto-Negotiation function within the DP83848I can be controlled either by internal register access or by the use of the AN_EN, AN1 and AN0 pins.

2.1.1 Auto-Negotiation Pin Control

The state of AN_EN, AN0 and AN1 determines whether the DP83848I is forced into a specific mode or Auto-Negotiation will advertise a specific ability (or set of abilities) as given in be selected without requiring internal register access.

The state of AN_EN, AN0 and AN1, upon power-up/reset, determines the state of bits [8:5] of the ANAR register.

The Auto-Negotiation function selected at power-up or reset can be changed at any time by writing to the Basic Mode Control Register (BMCR) at address 0x00h.

Table 1. These pins allow configuration options to

2.1.2 Auto-Negotiation Register Control

When Auto-Negotiation is enabled, the DP83848I transmits the abilities programmed into the Auto-Negotiation Advertisement register (ANAR) at address 04h via FLP Bursts.

Any combination of 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, Half-Duplex, and

Full Duplex modes may be selected.

Auto-Negotiation Priority Resolution:

— (1) 100BASE-TX Full Duplex (Highest Priority) — (2) 100BASE-TX Half Duplex — (3) 10BASE-T Full Duplex — (4) 10BASE-T Half Duplex (Lowest Priority) The Basic Mode Control Register (BMCR) at address 00h

provides control for enabling, disabling, and restarting the Auto-Negotiation process. When Auto-Negotiation is dis abled, the Speed Selection bit in the BMCR controls switching between 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s operation, and the Duplex Mode bit controls switching between full duplex operation and half duplex operation. The Speed Selection and Duplex Mode bits have no effect on the mode of oper ation when the Auto-Negotiation Enable bit is set.

The Link Speed can be examined through the PHY Status Register (PHYSTS) at address 10h after a Link is achieved.

The Basic Mode Status Register (BMSR) indicates the set of available abilities for technology types, Auto-Negotiation ability, and Extended Register Capability. These bits are permanently set to indicate the full functionality of the DP83848I (only the 100BASE-T4 bit is not set since the DP83848I does not support that function).

The BMSR also provides status on:

— Whether or not Auto-Negotiation is complete — Whether or not the Link Partner is advertising that a re-

mote fault has occurred — Whether or not valid link has been established — Support for Management Frame Preamble suppression The Auto-Negotiation Advertisement Register (ANAR)

indicates the Auto-Negotiation abilities to be advertised by the DP83848I. All available abilities are transmitted by default, but any ability can be suppressed by writing to the

www.national.com 16

ANAR. Updating the ANAR to suppress an ability is one way for a management agent to change (restrict) the tech nology that is used.

The Auto-Negotiation Link Partner Ability Register (ANLPAR) at address 05h is used to receive the base link code word as well as all next page code words during the negotiation. Furthermore, the ANLPAR will be updated to either 0081h or 0021h for parallel detection to either 100 Mb/s or 10 Mb/s respectively.

The Auto-Negotiation Expansion Register (ANER) indicates additional Auto-Negotiation status. The ANER provides status on:

— Whether or not a Parallel Detect Fault has occurred — Whether or not the Link Partner supports the Next Page

function

— Whether or not the DP83848I supports the Next Page

function

— Whether or not the current page being exchanged by

Auto-Negotiation has been received

— Whether or not the Link Partner supports Auto-Negotia-

tion

2.1.3 Auto-Negotiation Parallel Detection

The DP83848I supports the Parallel Detection function as defined in the IEEE 802.3u specification. Parallel Detection requires both the 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s receivers to moni tor the receive signal and report link status to the AutoNegotiation function. Auto-Negotiation uses this informa tion to configure the correct technology in the event that the Link Partner does not support Auto-Negotiation but is transmitting link signals that the 100BASE-TX or 10BASET PMAs recognize as valid link signals.

If the DP83848I completes Auto-Negotiation as a result of Parallel Detection, bits 5 and 7 within the ANLPAR register will be set to reflect the mode of operation present in the Link Partner. Note that bits 4:0 of the ANLPAR will also be set to 00001 based on a successful parallel detection to indicate a valid 802.3 selector field. Software may deter mine that negotiation completed via Parallel Detection by reading a zero in the Link Partner Auto-Negotiation Able bit once the Auto-Negotiation Complete bit is set. If configured for parallel detect mode and any condition other than a sin gle good link occurs then the parallel detect fault bit will be set.

2.1.4 Auto-Negotiation Restart

Once Auto-Negotiation has completed, it may be restarted at any time by setting bit 9 (Restart Auto-Negotiation) of the BMCR to one. If the mode configured by a successful AutoNegotiation loses a valid link, then the Auto-Negotiation process will resume and attempt to determine the configu ration for the link. This function ensures that a valid configuration is maintained if the cable becomes disconnected.

A renegotiation request from any entity, such as a management agent, will cause the DP83848I to halt any transmit data and link pulse activity until the break_link_timer expires (~1500 ms). Consequently, the Link Partner will go into link fail and normal Auto-Negotiation resumes. The DP83848I will resume Auto-Negotiation after the break_link_timer has expired by issuing FLP (Fast Link Pulse) bursts.

2.1.5 Enabling Auto-Negotiation via Software

It is important to note that if the DP83848I has been initialized upon power-up as a non-auto-negotiating device (forced technology), and it is then required that Auto-Negotiation or re-Auto-Negotiation be initiated via software,

12 (Auto-Negotiation Enable) of the Basic Mode Control

bit Register (BMCR) must first be cleared and then set for any Auto-Negotiation function to take effect.

2.1.6 Auto-Negotiation Complete Time

Parallel detection and Auto-Negotiation take approximately 2-3 seconds to complete. In addition, Auto-Negotiation with next page should take approximately 2-3 seconds to com plete, depending on the number of next pages sent.

Refer to Clause 28 of the IEEE 802.3u standard for a full description of the individual timers related to Auto-Negotiation.

2.2 Auto-MDIX

When enabled, this function utilizes Auto-Negotiation to determine the proper configuration for transmission and reception of data and subsequently selects the appropriate MDI pair for MDI/MDIX operation. The function uses a ran dom seed to control switching of the crossover circuitry. This implementation complies with the corresponding IEEE

802.3 Auto-Negotiation and Crossover Specifications.

Auto-MDIX is enabled by default and can be configured via strap or via PHYCR (0x19h) register, bits [15:14].

Neither Auto-Negotiation nor Auto-MDIX is required to be enabled in forcing crossover of the MDI pairs. Forced crossover can be achieved through the FORCE_MDIX bit, bit 14 of PHYCR (0x19h) register.

Note: Auto-MDIX will not work in a forced mode of operation.

2.3 PHY Address

The 5 PHY address inputs pins are shared with the RXD[3:0] pins and COL pin as shown below.

DP83848I

42 PHYAD0 COL

43 PHYAD1 RXD_0

44 PHYAD2 RXD_1

45 PHYAD3 RXD_2

46 PHYAD4 RXD_3

The DP83848I can be set to respond to any of 32 possible PHY addresses via strap pins. The information is latched into the PHYCR register (address 19h, bits [4:0]) at device power-up and hardware reset. The PHY Address pins are shared with the RXD and COL pins. Each DP83848I or port sharing an MDIO bus in a system must have a unique physical address.

The DP83848I supports PHY Address strapping values 0 (<0 0 0 0 0 > ) t h r o u g h 3 1 (<11111 >). St r a p p i n g PHY Address 0 puts the part into Isolate Mode. It should also be noted that selecting PHY Address 0 via an MDIO write to PHYCR will not put the device in Isolate Mode. See more information.

For further detail relating to the latch-in timing requirements of the PHY Address pins, as well as the other hardware configuration pins, refer to the Reset summary in Section 6.0.

Section 2.3.1for

Since the PHYAD[0] pin has weak internal pull-up resistor and PHYAD[4:1] pins have weak internal pull-down resis tors, the default setting for the PHY address is 00001 (01h).

Refer to Figure 2 for an example of a PHYAD connection to external components. In this example, the PHYAD strapping results in address 00011 (03h).

2.3.1 MII Isolate Mode

The DP83848I can be put into MII Isolate mode by writing to bit 10 of the BMCR register or by strapping in Physical Address 0. It should be noted that selecting Physical Address 0 via an MDIO write to PHYCR will not put the device in the MII isolate mode.

When in the MII isolate mode, the DP83848I does not respond to packet data present at TXD[3:0], TX_EN inputs and presents a high impedance on the TX_CLK, RX_CLK, RX_DV, RX_ER, RXD[3:0], COL, and CRS outputs. When in Isolate mode, the DP83848I will continue to respond to all management transactions.

While in Isolate mode, the PMD output pair will not transmit packet data but will continue to source 100BASE-TX scrambled idles or 10BASE-T normal link pulses.

The DP83848I can Auto-Negotiate or parallel detect to a specific technology depending on the receive signal at the PMD input pair. A valid link can be established for the receiver even when the DP83848I is in Isolate mode.

DP83848I

The LED_LINK pin in Mode 1 indicates the link status of the port. In 100BASE-T mode, link is established as a result of input receive amplitude compliant with the TPPMD specifications which will result in internal generation of signal detect. A 10 Mb/s Link is established as a result of the reception of at least seven consecutive normal Link Pulses or the reception of a valid 10BASE-T packet. This will cause the assertion of LED_LINK. LED_LINK will deas sert in accordance with the Link Loss Timer as specified in the IEEE 802.3 specification.

The LED_LINK pin in Mode 1 will be OFF when no LINK is present.

The LED_LINK pin in Mode 2 and Mode 3 will be ON to indicate Link is good and BLINK to indicate activity is present on either transmit or receive activity.

The LED_SPEED pin indicates 10 or 100 Mb/s data rate of the port. The standard CMOS driver goes high when operating in 100 Mb/s operation. The functionality of this LED is independent of mode selected.

The LED_ACT/COL pin in Mode 1 indicates the presence of either transmit or receive activity. The LED will be ON for Activity and OFF for No Activity. In Mode 2, this pin indi cates the Collision status of the port. The LED will be ON for Collision and OFF for No Collision.

The LED_ACT/COL pin in Mode 3 indicates the presence of Duplex status for 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s operation. The LED will be ON for Full Duplex and OFF for Half Duplex.

In 10 Mb/s half duplex mode, the collision LED is based on the COL signal.

Since these LED pins are also used as strap options, the polarity of the LED is dependent on whether the pin is pulled up or down.

Specifically, when the LED outputs are used to drive LEDs directly, the active state of each output driver is dependent on the logic level sampled by the corresponding AN input upon power-up/reset. For example, if a given AN input is resistively pulled low then the corresponding output will be configured as an active high driver. Conversely, if a given AN input is resistively pulled high, then the corresponding output will be configured as an active low driver.

Refer to Figure 3 for an example of AN connections to external components. In this example, the AN strapping results in Auto-Negotiation with 10/100 Half/Full-Duplex advertised.

The adaptive nature of the LED outputs helps to simplify potential implementation issues of these dual purpose pins.

2.4.1 LEDs

Since the Auto-Negotiation (AN) strap options share the LED output pins, the external components required for strapping and LED usage must be considered in order to avoid contention.

2.4.2 LED Direct Control

The DP83848I provides another option to directly control any or all LED outputs through the LED Direct Control Reg ister (LEDCR), address 18h. The register does not provide

DP83848I

read access to LEDs.

2.5 Half Duplex vs. Full Duplex

The DP83848I supports both half and full duplex operation at both 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s speeds.

Half-duplex relies on the CSMA/CD protocol to handle collisions and network access. In Half-Duplex mode, CRS responds to both transmit and receive activity in order to maintain compliance with the IEEE 802.3 specification.

Since the DP83848I is designed to support simultaneous transmit and receive activity it is capable of supporting fullduplex switched applications with a throughput of up to 200 Mb/s per port when operating in 100BASE-TX mode. Because the CSMA/CD protocol does not apply to fullduplex operation, the DP83848I disables its own internal collision sensing and reporting functions and modifies the behavior of Carrier Sense (CRS) such that it indicates only receive activity. This allows a full-duplex capable MAC to operate properly.

All modes of operation (100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T) can run either half-duplex or full-duplex. Additionally, other than CRS and Collision reporting, all remaining MII signaling remains the same regardless of the selected duplex mode.

It is important to understand that while Auto-Negotiation with the use of Fast Link Pulse code words can interpret and configure to full-duplex operation, parallel detection can not recognize the difference between full and halfduplex from a fixed 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s link partner over twisted pair. As specified in the 802.3u specification, if a far-end link partner is configured to a forced full duplex 100BASE-TX ability, the parallel detection state machine in the partner would be unable to detect the full duplex capa bility of the far-end link partner. This link segment would negotiate to a half duplex 100BASE-TX configuration (same scenario for 10 Mb/s).

2.6 Internal Loopback

The DP83848I includes a Loopback Test mode for facilitat-

ing system diagnostics. The Loopback mode is selected through bit 14 (Loopback) of the Basic Mode Control Reg ister (BMCR). Writing 1 to this bit enables MII transmit data to be routed to the MII receive outputs. Loopback status may be checked in bit 3 of the PHY Status Register (PHYSTS). While in Loopback mode the data will not be transmitted onto the media. To ensure that the desired operating mode is maintained, Auto-Negotiation should be disabled before selecting the Loopback mode.

2.7 BIST

The DP83848I incorporates an internal Built-in Self Test (BIST) circuit to accommodate in-circuit testing or diagnos tics. The BIST circuit can be utilized to test the integrity of the transmit and receive data paths. BIST testing can be performed with the part in the internal loopback mode or externally looped back using a loopback cable fixture.

The BIST is implemented with independent transmit and receive paths, with the transmit block generating a continuous stream of a pseudo random sequence. The user can select a 9 bit or 15 bit pseudo random sequence from the PSR_15 bit in the PHY Control Register (PHYCR). The received data is compared to the generated pseudo-ran dom data by the BIST Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) to determine the BIST pass/fail status.

The pass/fail status of the BIST is stored in the BIST status bit in the PHYCR register. The status bit defaults to 0 (BIST fail) and will transition on a successful comparison. If an error (mis-compare) occurs, the status bit is latched and is cleared upon a subsequent write to the Start/Stop bit.

For transmit VOD testing, the Packet BIST Continuous Mode can be used to allow continuous data transmission, setting BIST_CONT_MODE, bit 5, of CDCTRL1 (0x1Bh).

The number of BIST errors can be monitored through the BIST Error Count in the CDCTRL1 (0x1Bh), bits [15:8].

3.0 Functional Description

The DP83848I supports several modes of operation using the MII interface pins. The options are defined in the follow ing sections and include:

— MII Mode — RMII Mode — 10 Mb Serial Network Interface (SNI) The modes of operation can be selected by strap options

or register control. For RMII mode, it is required to use the strap option, since it requires a 50 MHz clock instead of the normal 25 MHz.

In each of these modes, the IEEE 802.3 serial management interface is operational for device configuration and status. The serial management interface of the MII allows for the configuration and control of multiple PHY devices, gathering of status, error information, and the determina tion of the type and capabilities of the attached PHY(s).

3.1 MII Interface

The DP83848I incorporates the Media Independent Interface (MII) as specified in Clause 22 of the IEEE 802.3u standard. This interface may be used to connect PHY devices to a MAC in 10/100 Mb/s systems. This section describes the nibble wide MII data interface.

The nibble wide MII data interface consists of a receive bus and a transmit bus each with control signals to facilitate data transfer between the PHY and the upper layer (MAC).

3.1.1 Nibble-wide MII Data Interface

Clause 22 of the IEEE 802.3u specification defines the Media Independent Interface. This interface includes a dedicated receive bus and a dedicated transmit bus. These two data buses, along with various control and status sig nals, allow for the simultaneous exchange of data between the DP83848I and the upper layer agent (MAC).

The receive interface consists of a nibble wide data bus RXD[3:0], a receive error signal RX_ER, a receive data valid flag RX_DV, and a receive clock RX_CLK for syn chronous transfer of the data. The receive clock operates at either 2.5 MHz to support 10 Mb/s operation modes or at 25 MHz to support 100 Mb/s operational modes.

The transmit interface consists of a nibble wide data bus TXD[3:0], a transmit enable control signal TX_EN, and a transmit clock TX_CLK which runs at either 2.5 MHz or 25 MHz.

Additionally, the MII includes the carrier sense signal CRS, as well as a collision detect signal COL. The CRS signal asserts to indicate the reception of data from the network or as a function of transmit data in Half Duplex mode. The COL signal asserts as an indication of a collision which can occur during half-duplex operation when both a transmit and receive operation occur simultaneously.

3.1.2 Collision Detect

For Half Duplex, a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX collision is detected when the receive and transmit channels are active simultaneously. Collisions are reported by the COL signal on the MII.

If the DP83848I is transmitting in 10 Mb/s mode when a collision is detected, the collision is not reported until seven bits have been received while in the collision state. This prevents a collision being reported incorrectly due to noise on the network. The COL signal remains set for the dura tion of the collision.

If a collision occurs during a receive operation, it is immediately reported by the COL signal.

When heartbeat is enabled (only applicable to 10 Mb/s operation), approximately 1 each packet, a Signal Quality Error (SQE) signal of approx imately 10 bit times is generated (internally) to indicate successful transmission. SQE is reported as a pulse on the COL signal of the MII.

3.1.3 Carrier Sense

Carrier Sense (CRS) is asserted due to receive activity, once valid data is detected via the squelch function during 10 Mb/s operation. During 100 Mb/s operation CRS is asserted when a valid link (SD) and two non-contiguous zeros are detected on the line.

For 10 or 100 Mb/s Half Duplex operation, CRS is asserted during either packet transmission or reception.

For 10 or 100 Mb/s Full Duplex operation, CRS is asserted only due to receive activity.

CRS is deasserted following an end of packet.

3.2 Reduced MII Interface

The DP83848I incorporates the Reduced Media Independent Interface (RMII) as specified in the RMII specification (rev1.2) from the RMII Consortium. This interface may be used to connect PHY devices to a MAC in 10/100 Mb/s systems using a reduced number of pins. In this mode, data is transferred 2-bits at a time using the 50 MHz RMII_REF clock for both transmit and receive. The follow ing pins are used in RMII mode:

— TX_EN —TXD[1:0] — RX_ER (optional for Mac) — CRS_DV — RXD[1:0] — X1 (RMII Reference clock is 50 MHz) In addition, the RMII mode supplies an RX_DV signal

which allows for a simpler method of recovering receive data without having to separate RX_DV from the CRS_DV indication. This is especially useful for systems which do not require CRS, such as systems that only support fullduplex operation. This signal is also useful for diagnostic testing where it may be desirable to loop Receive RMII data directly to the transmitter.

Since the reference clock operates at 10 times the data rate for 10 Mb/s operation, transmit data is sampled every 10 clocks. Likewise, receive data will be generated every 10th clock so that an attached device can sample the data every 10 clocks.

RMII mode requires a 50 MHz oscillator be connected to the device X1 pin. A 50 MHz crystal is not supported.

To tolerate potential frequency differences between the 50 MHz reference clock and the recovered receive clock, the receive RMII function includes a programmable elasticity buffer. The elasticity buffer is programmable to minimize

DP83848I

propagation delay based on expected packet size and clock accuracy. This allows for supporting a range of packet sizes including jumbo frames.

It assumes both clocks (RMII Reference clock and far-end Transmitter clock) have the same accuracy.

3.3 10 Mb Serial Network Interface (SNI)

The DP83848I incorporates a 10 Mb Serial Network Interface (SNI) which allows a simple serial data interface for 10 Mb only devices. This is also referred to as a 7-wire interface. While there is no defined standard for this interface, it is based on early 10 Mb physical layer devices. Data is clocked serially at 10 MHz using separate transmit and receive paths. The following pins are used in SNI mode:

—TX_CLK —TX_EN —TXD[0] —RX_CLK —RXD[0] — CRS —COL

3.4 802.3u MII Serial Management Interface

3.4.1 Serial Management Register Access

The serial management MII specification defines a set of thirty-two 16-bit status and control registers that are acces sible through the management interface pins MDC and MDIO. The DP83848I implements all the required MII reg isters as well as several optional registers. These registers are fully described in Section 7.0. A description of the serial management access protocol follows.

3.4.2 Serial Management Access Protocol

The serial control interface consists of two pins, Management Data Clock (MDC) and Management Data Input/Output (MDIO). MDC has a maximum clock rate of 25 MHz and no minimum rate. The MDIO line is bi-directional and may be shared by up to 32 devices. The MDIO frame for mat is shown below in Tab le 5 .

The MDIO pin requires a pull-up resistor (1.5 kΩ) which,

during IDLE and turnaround, will pull MDIO high. In order to initialize the MDIO interface, the station management entity sends a sequence of 32 contiguous logic ones on MDIO to provide the DP83848I with a sequence that can be used to establish synchronization. This preamble may be gener ated either by driving MDIO high for 32 consecutive MDC clock cycles, or by simply allowing the MDIO pull-up resis tor to pull the MDIO pin high during which time 32 MDC clock cycles are provided. In addition 32 MDC clock cycles should be used to re-sync the device if an invalid start, opcode, or turnaround bit is detected.

The DP83848I waits until it has received this preamble sequence before responding to any other transaction. Once the DP83848I serial management port has been ini tialized no further preamble sequencing is required until after a power-on/reset, invalid Start, invalid Opcode, or invalid turnaround bit has occurred.

The Start code is indicated by a <01> pattern. This assures the MDIO line transitions from the default idle line state.

Turnaround is defined as an idle bit time inserted between the Register Address field and the Data field. To avoid contention during a read transaction, no device shall actively drive the MDIO signal during the first bit of Turnaround. The addressed DP83848I drives the MDIO with a zero for the second bit of turnaround and follows this with the

required data. between MDC and the MDIO as driven/received by the Sta-

tion (STA) and the DP83848I (PHY) for a typical register read access.

For write transactions, the station management entity writes data to the addressed DP83848I thus eliminating the requirement for MDIO Turnaround. The Turnaround time is filled by the management entity by inserting <10>. shows the timing relationship for a typical MII register write access.

3.4.3 Serial Management Preamble Suppression

The DP83848I supports a Preamble Suppression mode as indicated by a one in bit 6 of the Basic Mode Status Regis ter (BMSR, address 01h.) If the station management entity (i.e. MAC or other management controller) determines that all PHYs in the system support Preamble Suppression by returning a one in this bit, then the station management entity need not generate preamble for each management transaction.

The DP83848I requires a single initialization sequence of 32 bits of preamble following hardware/software reset. This

requirement is generally met by the mandatory pull-up resistor on MDIO in conjunction with a continuous MDC, or the management access made to determine whether Pre

amble Suppression is supported.

While the DP83848I requires an initial preamble sequence of 32 bits for management initialization, it does not require a full 32-bit sequence between each subsequent transac tion. A minimum of one idle bit between management transactions is required as specified in the IEEE 802.3u specification.

4.0 Architecture

This section describes the operations within each transceiver module, 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T. Each operation consists of several functional blocks and described in

DP83848I

the following:

— 100BASE-TX Transmitter — 100BASE-TX Receiver — 10BASE-T Transceiver Module

4.1 100BASE-TX TRANSMITTER

The 100BASE-TX transmitter consists of several functional blocks which convert synchronous 4-bit nibble data, as pro vided by the MII, to a scrambled MLT-3 125 Mb/s serial data stream. Because the 100BASE-TX TP-PMD is integrated, the differential output pins, PMD Output Pair, can be directly routed to the magnetics.

The block diagram in Figure 6. provides an overview of each functional block within the 100BASE-TX transmit section.

The Transmitter section consists of the following functional blocks:

— Code-group Encoder and Injection block — Scrambler block (bypass option) — NRZ to NRZI encoder block — Binary to MLT-3 converter / Common Driver The bypass option for the functional blocks within the

100BASE-TX transmitter provides flexibility for applications where data conversion is not always required. The DP83848I implements the 100BASE-TX transmit state

DP83848I

The code-group encoder converts 4-bit (4B) nibble data generated by the MAC into 5-bit (5B) code-groups for transmission. This conversion is required to allow control data to be combined with packet data code-groups. Refer

Tab l e 5 for 4B to 5B code-group mapping details.

The code-group encoder substitutes the first 8-bits of the MAC preamble with a J/K code-group pair (11000 10001) upon transmission. The code-group encoder continues to replace subsequent 4B preamble and data nibbles with corresponding 5B code-groups. At the end of the transmit packet, upon the deassertion of Transmit Enable signal from the MAC, the code-group encoder injects the T/R

code-group pair (01101 00111) indicating the end of the frame.

After the T/R code-group pair, the code-group encoder continuously injects IDLEs into the transmit data stream until the next transmit packet is detected (reassertion of Transmit Enable).

4.1.1 Scrambler

The scrambler is required to control the radiated emissions at the media connector and on the twisted pair cable (for

25 www.national.com

100BASE-TX applications). By scrambling the data, the total energy launched onto the cable is randomly distrib uted over a wide frequency range. Without the scrambler, energy levels at the PMD and on the cable could peak

DP83848I

beyond FCC limitations at frequencies related to repeating 5B sequences (i.e., continuous transmission of IDLEs).

The scrambler is configured as a closed loop linear feedback shift register (LFSR) with an 11-bit polynomial. The output of the closed loop LFSR is X-ORd with the serial NRZ data from the code-group encoder. The result is a scrambled data stream with sufficient randomization to decrease radiated emissions at certain frequencies by as much as 20 dB. The DP83848I uses the PHY_ID (pins PHYAD [4:0]) to set a unique seed value.

4.1.2 NRZ to NRZI Encoder

After the transmit data stream has been serialized and scrambled, the data must be NRZI encoded in order to comply with the TP-PMD standard for 100BASE-TX trans mission over Category-5 Unshielded twisted pair cable.

4.1.3 Binary to MLT-3 Convertor

The Binary to MLT-3 conversion is accomplished by converting the serial binary data stream output from the NRZI encoder into two binary data streams with alternately phased logic one events. These two binary streams are then fed to the twisted pair output driver which converts the voltage to current and alternately drives either side of the transmit transformer primary winding, resulting in a MLT-3 signal.

The 100BASE-TX MLT-3 signal sourced by the PMD Output Pair common driver is slew rate controlled. This should be considered when selecting AC coupling magnetics to ensure TP-PMD Standard compliant transition times (3 ns < Tr < 5 ns).

The 100BASE-TX transmit TP-PMD function within the DP83848I is capable of sourcing only MLT-3 encoded data. Binary output from the PMD Output Pair is not possible in 100 Mb/s mode.

4.2 100BASE-TX RECEIVER

The 100BASE-TX receiver consists of several functional

blocks which convert the scrambled MLT-3 125 Mb/s serial data stream to synchronous 4-bit nibble data that is pro vided to the MII. Because the 100BASE-TX TP-PMD is

integrated, the differential input pins, RD±, can be directly

routed from the AC coupling magnetics.

See Figure 7 for a block diagram of the 100BASE-TX receive function. This provides an overview of each functional block within the 100BASE-TX receive section.

The Receive section consists of the following functional blocks:

— Analog Front End — Digital Signal Processor — Signal Detect — MLT-3 to Binary Decoder — NRZI to NRZ Decoder — Serial to Parallel

— Descrambler — Code Group Alignment —4B/5B Decoder — Link Integrity Monitor — Bad SSD Detection

4.2.1 Analog Front End

In addition to the Digital Equalization and Gain Control, the DP83848I includes Analog Equalization and Gain Control in the Analog Front End. The Analog Equalization reduces the amount of Digital Equalization required in the DSP.

4.2.2 Digital Signal Processor

The Digital Signal Processor includes Adaptive Equalization with Gain Control and Base Line Wander Compensation.
