DP83849IF PHYTER® DUAL Industrial Temperature with Fiber Support (FX) and Flexible Switching
Dual Port 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet Physical Layer Transceiver
General Description
The number of applications requiring Ethernet Connectivity continues to expand. Along with this
increased market demand is a change in application
requirements. Where single channel Ethernet used to
be sufficient, many applications such as wireless
remote base stations and industrial networking now
require DUAL Port functionality for redundancy or system management.
The DP83849IF is a highly reliable, feature rich device
perfectly suited for industrial applications enabling
Ethernet on the factory floor. The DP83849IF features
two fully independent 10/100 ports for multi-port applications. NATIONAL’s unique po rt switching capabilit y
also allows the two ports to be configured to provide
fully integrated range extension, media conversion,
hardware based failover and port monitoring.
The DP83849IF provides optimum flexibility in MPU
selection by supporting both MII and RMII interfaces.
The device also provides flexibility by supporting both
copper and fiber media. In additio n this de vice includ es
a powerful new diagnostics tool to ensure initial network operation and maintenance.
In addition to the TDR scheme, commonly used for
detecting faults during installation, NATIONAL’s innovative cable diagnostics provides for real time continuous monitoring of the link quality. This allows the
system designer to implement a fault prediction mechanism to detect and warn of changing or deteriorating
link conditions.
With the DP83849IF, National Semiconductor continues to build on its Ethernet expertise and leadership
position by providing a powerful combination of features and flexibility, easing Ethernet implementation for
the system designer.

1.7 Strap Options
The DP83849IF uses many of the functional pins as strap
options. The values of these pins are sampled during reset
and used to strap the device into specific modes of opera
tion. The strap option pin assignments are defined below.
The functional pin name is indicated in parentheses.
PHY ADDRESS [4:1]: The DP83849IF provides four PHY address pins, the state of which are la tch ed into the PHYC TRL re g-
5
ister at system Hardware-Reset. Phy Address[0] selects betwe en
ports A and B.
The DP83849IF supports PHY Address strapping for Port A even
values 0 (<0000_0>) through 30 (<1111_0>). Port B will be
strapped to odd values 1 (<0000_1>) through 31 (<1111_1>).
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.

This section in clude s inform atio n on the var ious con figura tion options available with the DP83849IF. The configuration options described below include:
— Media Configuration
— Auto-Negotiation
— PHY Address and LEDs
— Half Duplex vs. Full Duplex
— Isolate mode
— Loopback mode
—BIST
2.1 Media Configuration
The DP83849IF supports both Twister Pair (100BASE-TX
and 10BASE-T) and Fiber (100BASE-FX) media. Each
port may be independe ntly confi gu r ed fo r Twisted Pair (TP)
or Fiber (FX) operation by strap option or by register
access.
At power-up/reset, the st ate of the COL_A and COL_B pins
will select the media for ports A and B respectively. The
default selection is TP mode, while an external pull-up will
select FX mode of operation. Strapping a port into FX
mode also automatically sets the Far-End Fault Enable, bit
3 of PCSR (16h), the Scramble Bypass, bit 1 of PCSR
(16h) and the Descrambler Bypass, bit 0 of PCSR (16h). In
addition, the media selection may be controlled by writing
to bit 6, FX_EN, of PCSR (16h).
2.2 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 DP83849IF supports four differ
ent 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 DP83849IF can be controlled either by
internal register access or by the use of the AN_EN, AN1
and AN0 pins.
2.2.1 Auto-Negotiation Pin Control
The state of AN_EN, AN0 an d AN1 det ermine s wheth er the
DP83849IF is forced into a specific mode or Auto-Negotia
tion 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 A N1, upon po wer-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 cha nged at any time by writin g to the Basic
Mode Contro l Register (BMCR) at address 00h.
Table 1. These pins allow configuration options to
When Auto-Negotiation is enabled, the DP83849IF 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, HalfDuplex, 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
DP83849IF (only the 100BASE-T4 bit is not set since the
DP83849IF 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) indi-
cates the Auto-Negotiation abilities to be advertised by the
DP83849IF. All available abilities are transmitted by
default, but any ability can be suppressed by writing to the
-

DP83849IF

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
negotiati on. Furthermore, the ANLPAR will be updat ed 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 Partne r supp orts the N ext Pag e
function
— Whether or not the DP83849IF supports the Next Page
function
— Whether or not the current page being exchanged by
Auto-Negotiation has been receiv ed
— Whether or not the Link Partner supports Auto-Negotia-
tion
2.2.3 Auto-Negotia tion Para llel Detection
The DP83849IF supports the Parallel Detection function as
defined in the IEEE 802.3u specifi ca tio n. Para lle l De tect io n
requires both the 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s receivers to moni

Link Partner does not support Auto-Negotiation but is
transmitting link signals that the 100BASE-TX or 10BASET PMAs recognize as valid link signa ls .
If the DP83849IF co mp lete s Au to-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

It is important to not e that i f the DP 8384 9IF has been initia lized upon power-up as a non-auto-negotiating device
(forced technology), and it is then requ ire d 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.
2.2.6 Auto-Negotiation Complete Time
Parallel detection and Auto-Negotiation take approximately
2-3 seconds to co mp let e. In addition, Auto-Negotia tio n wi th
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.
-
2.3 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 MD I/ MD IX o pe ra ti on. T h e fu nc t io n us es a r an
dom seed to control switching of the crossover circuitry.

DP83849IF
2.2.4 Auto-Negotiation Rest art
Once Auto-Negotiation has completed, it may be restarted
at any time by setting bit 9 (Res tart Auto- Negotiat ion) of th e
BMCR to one. If the mode confi gured b y a su cces sful Au toNegotiation 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 requ es t fro m any en tity, such as a management agent, wi ll cause th e DP83849I F to halt any tr ansmit
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
DP83849IF will resume Auto-Negotiation after the
break_link_timer has expired by issuing FLP (Fast Link
Pulse) bursts.

MDIO bus in a system must have a unique physical
address.
The DP83849IF supports PHY Address strapping of Port A
to even values 0 (<0000_0>) through 30 (<1111_0>). Port
B is strapped to odd values 1 (<0000_1>) through 31
(<1111_1>). Note that Port B address is always 1 greater
than Port A address.
For further detail rela ting to the la tch -in timi ng requi rement s
of the PHY Address pins, as well as the other hardware
configuration pins, refer to the Reset summary in
Section 6.0.
Refer to Figure 2 for an exam ple o f a PH YAD connection to
external components. In this example, the PHYAD strapping results in address 00010 (02h) for Port A and address
00011 (03h) for Port B.
DP83849IF
2.4.1 MII Isolate Mode
The DP83849IF can be put into MII Isolate mode by writing
to bit 10 of the BMCR register.
When in the MII isolate mode, the DP83849IF 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 DP83849IF will continue to respond to
all management transactions.
While in Isolate mod e, th e PM D ou tput pair will not transm it
packet data but will continue to source 100BASE-TX
scrambled idles or 10BASE-T normal link pulses.
The DP83849IF 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 DP83849IF is in Isolate mode.

2.5 LED Interface
The DP83849IF supports three configurable Light Emitting
Diode (LED) pins for each port.
Several functions can be multiplexed onto the three LEDs
using three different modes of operation. The LED operation mode can be selected by writing to the LED_CFG[1:0]
register bits in the PHY Control Register (PHYCR) at
address 19h, bits [6:5]. In addition, LED_CFG[0] for each
port can be set by a strap option on the CRS_A and
CRS_B pins. LED_CFG[1] is only controllable through reg
ister access and cannot be set by as strap pin.
See Table 3 for LED Mode selection.
-
DP83849IF
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 est abli shed 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 as sertion of LED_LINK. L ED _LIN K w il l d ea s
sert in accordance with the Link Loss Timer as specified in
the IEEE 802.3 specification.
The LED_LINK p in in Mode 1 w i ll be O FF w h en no LI N K 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 activity. The BLINK frequency is defined in
BLINK_FREQ, bits [7:6] of register LEDCR (18h).
Activity is defined as configured in LEDACT_RX, bit 8 of
register LEDCR (18h). If LEDACT_RX is 0, Activity is sig
naled for either transmit or receive. If LEDACT_RX is 1,
Activity is only signaled for receive.
The LED_SPEED pin indicates 10 or 100 Mb/s data rate of
the port. The LED is ON when operating in 100Mb/s mode
and OFF when operating in 10Mb/s mode. The functional
ity of this LED is independent of mode selected.
The LED_ACT/LED_COL pin in Mo de 1 ind ic ates the pre sence of either transmit or receive activity. The LED will be
ON for Activity and OFF for No Activity. In Mode 2, this pin
indicates the Collision status of the port. The LED will be
ON for Collision and OFF for No Collision.
-
-
-
The LED_ACT/LED_COL pin in Mode 3 indicates 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.
2.5.1 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.
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.4( w)5ee ss.tsv4( w)5 y10.2( su)12.8(tlle12.8(d c)12.8(ei-1.12(g)12.8(e,th)12.8(e )13.3(the))13.3(tc)12.8(nres)10.32po)n12.8(d in12.8(dg-0.5(s)]TJT*0.0033 Tc-0.0013 Tw[(tu)12.96tpu)13.96tp1.63 w)5.63ig.l-1.4(gb)12.96esguas.o-0.47 w45

2.6 Half Duplex vs. Full Duplex
The DP83849IF supports both half and full duplex operation at both 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s speeds.
Half-duplex relies on the C SMA/C D protoc ol t o handl e colli sions 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 DP83849IF is designed to support simultaneous
transmit and receiv e act ivi ty it is capabl e of su ppor tin g full duplex switched ap pli ca tio ns with a throughput of up to 200
Mb/s per port when operating in either 100BASE-TX or
100BASE-FX. Because the CSMA/CD protocol does not
apply to full-duplex operation, the DP83849IF disables its
own internal collision sensing and reporting functions and
modifies th e behavior of Carr ier 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, 100BASE-FX,
10BASE-T) can run either half-duplex or full-duplex. Addi
tionally, 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 10Mb/s).
Auto-Negotiation is not supported in 100BASE-FX operation. Selection of Half o r Ful l-du ple x o pera tio n is co ntrolled
by bit 8 of the Basic Mode Control Register (BMCR),
address 00h. If 100BASE-FX mode is strapped using the
FX_EN pin, the AN0 strap value is used to set the value of
bit 8 of the BMCR (00h) register. Note that the other AutoNegotiation strap pins (AN_EN and AN1) are ignored in
100BASE-FX mode.
-
2.7 Internal Loopback
The DP83849IF includes a Loopback Test mode for facilitating 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.
-
2.8 BIST
The DP83849IF incorporates an internal Built-in Self Test
(BIST) circuit to accommodate in-circuit testing or diagnostics. 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 tran sm it bl ock gene rati ng a con tin u
ous 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 reg ister. 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 (1Bh).
The number of BIST errors can be monitored through the
BIST Error Count in the CDCTRL1 (1Bh), bits [15:8].

3.0 MAC Interface
The DP83849IF support s se veral m odes of op eration using
the MII interface pins. The optio ns are defi ned in th e foll ow
ing sections and include:
— MII Mode
— RMII Mode
— 10 Mb Serial Network Interface (SNI)
— Single Clock MII Mode (SCMII)
In addition, the DP83849IF supports the standard 802.3u
MII Serial Management Interface and a Flexible MII Port
Assignment scheme.
The modes of operation can be selected by strap options
or register control. For RMII mode, it is recommended 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 manage-

3.2 Reduced MII Interface
The DP83849IF 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 diagnostic testing
where it may be desirable to externally loop Receive MII
data directly to the transmitter.
The RX_ER output may be used by the MAC to detect
error conditions. It is asserted for symbol errors received
during a pack et, False Carrier even ts, and also for FIFO
underrun or overrun conditions. Since the Phy is required
to corrupt receive data on an error, a MAC is not required
to use RX_ER.
It is important to note that since both digital channels in the
DP83849IF share the X1/RMII_REF input, both channels
must have RMII mod e enabled or both chann el s m us t hav e
Table 4. Supported packet sizes at +/-50ppm frequency accuracy
-
RMII mode disabled. Either channel may be in 10Mb or
100Mb mode in RMII or non-RMII mode.
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
propagation delay based on expected packet size and
clock accuracy. This allows for supporting a range of
packet sizes including jumbo frames.
The elasticity buffer will force Frame Check Sequence
errors for packets which overrun or underrun the FIFO.
Underrun and Overrun conditions can be reported in the
RMII and Bypass Register (RBR). The following table indi
cates how to program the elastic ity buf fer fifo (in 4-bit increments) based on expected max packet size and clock
accuracy. It assumes both clocks (RMII Reference clock
and far-end Transmitter clock) have the same accuracy.
Packet lengths can be scaled linearly based on accuracy
(+/- 25ppm would allows packets twice as large). If the
threshold setting must support both 10Mb and 100Mb
operation, the setting should be made to support both
speeds.
The DP83849IF incorpor ate s a 10 M b Se rial Netw ork Int erface (SNI) which al lo ws a simple serial dat a in terface for 10
Mb only devices. This is also referred to as a 7-wire inter
face. 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 Single Clock MII Mode
Single Clock MII (SCMII) Mode allows MII operation using
a single 25MHz reference clock. Normal MII Mode requires
-
three clocks, a reference clock for physical layer functions,
a Transmit MII clock, and a Receive MII clock. Similar to
RMII mode, Single Clock MII mode requires only the refer
ence clock. In addition to reducing the number of pins
required, this mode allows the attached MAC device to use
only the reference clock domain. Since the DP83849IF
has two ports, this actually reduces the number of clocks
from 6 to 1. A/ C Timing re quir ements for SC MII op erat ion
are similar to the RMII timing requirements.
For 10Mb operation, as in RMII mode, data is sampled and
driven every 10 clocks si nce the refere nce clock is a t 10x
the data rate.
Separate control bits allow enabling the Transmit and
Receive Single Clock modes separately, allowing just
transmit or receive to operate in this mode. Control of Sin
gle Clock MII mode is through the RBR register.
Single Clock MII mode incorporates the use of the RMII
elasticity buffer, which is required to tolerate potential fre
quency differences between the 25MHz reference clock
and the recovered receive clock. Settings for the Elasticity
Buffer for SCMII mode are detailed in the following table.
DP83849IF

Table 5. Supported SCMII packet sizes at +/-50ppm frequency accuracy
The DP83849IF supports a flexible assignment scheme for
each of the channels to the MII/RMII interface. Either of
the MII ports may be assigned to the internal channels A/B.
These values are contro lled by th e RMII and Bypass Reg
ister (RBR), address 17h. Transmit assignments and
Receive assignments can be made separately to allow
even more flexibility (i.e. both channels could transmit from
MII A while still allowing separate receive paths for the
channels).

3.5.4 Strapped Extender or Media Converter Mode

necessary. The EXTENDER_EN Strap can be used in
conjunction with the Auto-Negotiation Straps (AN_EN,
AN0, AN1), the RMII Mode Strap, and the Fiber Mode
(FX_EN) Strap to allow many possible configurations. If

3.5.5 Notes and Restrictions
— Extender/Media Converter: Both chann els must be op-
erating at the same speed (10 or 100Mb). This can be
accomplished us ing s traps or c hannel regis ter c ontrols .
Both channels must be in Full Duplex mode. Both chan
nels must either be in R MII Mode (R BR:RMII_EN = 1) or
full Single Clock MII Mode (RBR:SCMII_RX = 1 and
RBR:SCMII_TX = 1) to ensure synchrono us operation.
only one RX to TX path is ena bled, SCMII_RX in the RX
channel (RBR register 17h bit 7) and SCMII_TX in the
TX channel (RBR register 17h bit 6) must be set to 1.
Media Conversion is only supported in 100Mb mode;
one channel must be in Fiber Mode (100Base-FX) and
the other channel must be in Copper Mode (100BaseTX).
— Broadcast TX MII Port Mode: To ensure sync hro nou s
operation, both channels must be in RMII Mode (RBR
register 17h bit 5 = 1) or in Single Clock TX MII Mode
(RBR register 17h bit 6 = 1). Both channels must be op
erating at the same speed (10 or 100Mb). Both channels
must be in Full Duplex mode to ensure no collisions are
seen. This is because in Single Clock TX MII Mode, a
collision on one PHY channel would cause both chan
nels to send the Jam pattern.
— RMII Mode: Both Channels must have RMII Mode en-
abled or disabled concurrently due to the internal reference clocking scheme. In Full Port Swap Mode,
Channels are not required to have a common speed.
— 10Base-T Serial M ode: This MAC-side mode, also
known as Serial Network Interface (SNI), may not be
used when both channels share data connections (Ex
tender/Media Converter or Broa dcast TX MII Port). This
is due to the requirement of synchronous operation be
tween channels, which is not supported in SNI Mode.
— CRS Assignment: When a channel is n ot in RMII Mode ,
its associated CRS pin is sourced from the transmitter
Extender Mode is strapped but RMII Mode is not, both
channels will automatically be configured for Single Clock
MII Receive and Transmit Modes. The optional use of
RMII Mode in co njun cti on w ith E xte nde r Mode a llo ws f lexi
bility in the system design.
Several common configurations are shown in Table 11.
and controlled by the TX MII Port Assignment, bits [10:9]
of RBR (17h). When a channel is in RMII Mode, the as
sociated CRS pin is sourced from the receiver and con-
-
trolled by the RX MII Port Assignment, bits [12:11] of
RBR (17h).
— Output Enables: Flexible MII Port Assignment does not

control signal output enables.
— Test Modes: Test modes are not designed to be com-
patible with Flexible MII Port Selection, which assumes
default MII pin directions.
— LED Assignment: LEDs are associated with their re-
spective digital channels, and therefore do not get
mapped to alternate channels. For example, assertion
of LED_LINK_A indicate s valid lin k status fo r Channel A
independent of the MII Port Assignment.
— Straps: Strap pins are always associated with their re-
spective channel, i.e. a strap on RX_ER_A is used by
Channel A.
— Port Isolate Mode: Each MII port’s Isolate function, bit
10 of BMCR (00h) is always associated with its respec
tive channel, i. e. the Isolat e func tion fo r Port A i s alwa ys
controlled by Channel A’s BMCR (00h). Due to the var
ious possible combi nation s of TX and RX po rt selectio n,
it may not be advisable to place a port in Isolate mode.
— Energy Detect and Powerdown Modes: The output
enables for each MII port are alwa ys controlled b y the re
spective channel Energy Detect and Powerdown functions. These functions shoul d be dis abled wh eneve r an
MII port is in use b ut not ass igned to its defau lt chann el.
Note that Extender/Media Converter modes allow the
use of Energy Detect and Powerdown modes if the RX
MII ports are not in use.

3.6 802.3u MII Serial Management Interface
DP83849IF
3.6.1 Seri al Managemen t 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 DP83849IF im pleme nts all the requi red MII re g
isters as well as several optional registers. These registers
are fully described in Section 7.0. A descri ption of the seria l
management access protocol follows.
3.6.2 Serial Management Access Protocol
The serial co ntrol interface co nsists 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 Table 12.
In addition, the MDIO pin requires a pull-up resistor (1.5
Ω) which, during IDLE and turnaround, will pull MDIO
k
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 DP83849IF with a
sequence that can be used to establish synchronization.
This preamble may be generated either by driving MDIO
high for 32 consecutive MDC clock cycles, or by simply
allowing the MDIO p ull-up r esi stor to pull th e MDIO pin hig h
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 DP83849IF waits until it has received this preamble
sequence before responding to any other transaction.
Once the DP83849IF serial manage ment port has be en 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 St art co de is indicated by a <01> pattern. Th is assure s
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 DP83849IF dri ve s the MDI O with a zero for
the second bit of turnaround and follows this with the
required data.
Figure 5 shows the timing relationship
between MDC and th e MDIO as dr iven/re ceiv ed by the Station (STA) and the DP83849IF (PHY) for a typical register
read access .
For write transactions, the station management entity
writes data to the addressed DP83849IF thus eliminating
the requirement for MDIO Turnaround. The Turnaround
time is filled by the management entity by inserting <10>.
Figure 6 shows the timing relationship for a typical MII register write access.
The DP83849IF supports a Preamble Suppression mode
as indicated by a one in bit 6 of the Basic Mode Status
Register (BMSR, address 01h.) If the station management
entity (i.e. MAC or other management controller) deter
mines 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 DP83849IF requires a single initialization sequence of
32 bits of preamble fol lo w ing hard ware/s oftware reset. This
requirement is generally met by the mandatory pull-up
resistor on MD I O in co nj unc ti o n wi th a co nt i nuo us MD C, or
the management access made to determine whether Pre
amble Suppression is supported.
While the DP83849IF requires an initial preamble
sequence of 32 bits for management initialization, it does
not require

a full 32-bit sequence between each subsequent transaction. A minimum of one idle bit between management transactions is required as specified in the IEEE 802.3u
specification.
3.6.4 Simultaneous Register Write
The DP83849IF inco rpo rates a m od e w hic h a llo w s sim ultaneous write access to both Port A and B register blocks at
the same time. This mode is selected by setting bit 15 of
RMII and By pass Register (RBR, address 17h) in Port A.
As long as this bit remains set, subsequent writes to Port A
will write to registers in both ports.
Register reads are unaf f ec ted. Each port must still be read
individually.

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
the following:
The 100BASE-TX transmitter consists of several functional
blocks which conver t sy nchronous 4-bit ni bble d at a, as p ro
vided by the MII, to a scrambled MLT-3 125 Mb/s serial
data stream. Because the 100BASE-TX TP-PMD is inte
grated, the differential output pins, PMD Output Pair, can
be directly routed to the magnetics.
The block diagram in Figure 7. 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
DP83849IF implements the 100BASE-TX transmit state

dard, Clause 24.
Note: Control code-groups I, J, K, T and R in data fields will be mapped as invalid codes, together with RX_ER asserted.
DP83849IF
33 www.national.com
4.1.1 Code-group Encoding and Injection
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
Table 13 for 4B to 5B code-group mapping details.
to
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).
4.1.2 Scrambler
The scrambler is required to control the radiated emissions
at the media connector and on the twisted pair cable (for
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
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 DP83849IF uses the PHY_ID (pins
PHYAD [4:1]) to set a unique seed value.
-
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
DP83849IF is capable of sourcing only MLT-3 encoded
data. Binary output from the PMD Output Pair is not possi
ble 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 di rectly
routed from the AC coupling magnetics.
See Figure 8 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
-
DP83849IF
4.1.3 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.
4.1.4 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 pa ir out put dri ve r whic h co nverts the
voltage to current and alternately drives either side of the

4.2.1 Analog Front End
In addition to the Digital Equalization and Gain Control, the
DP83849IF 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.

4.2.2.1 Digital Adaptive Equaliza tion and Ga in Con tr ol
When transmitting data at high speeds over copper twisted
pair cable, frequency dependent attenuation becomes a
concern. In high-speed twisted pair signalling, the fre
quency content of the transmitted signal can vary greatly
during normal operation based primarily on the random
ness of the scrambled data stream. This variation in signal
attenuation caused by frequency variations must be com
pensated to ensure the integrity of the transmission.
In order to ensure quality transmission when employing
MLT-3 encoding, th e compensation must be able to ad apt
to various cable lengths and cable types depending on the
installed en vironment. The se lection of lo ng cable lengths
for a given implementation, requires significant compensa
tion which will over-compensate for shorter, less attenuating lengths. Conversely, the selection of short or
intermediate cable lengths requiring less compensation will
cause serious under-compensation for longer length
cables. The compensation or equalization must be adap
-
-
-
-
-
tive to ensure proper conditioning of the received signal
independent of the cable length.
The DP83849IF utilizes an extremely robust equalization
scheme referred as ‘Digital Adaptive Equalization.’
The Digital Equalizer removes ISI (inter symbol interference) from the receive data stream by continuously adapting to provide a filter with the inverse frequency response
of the channel. Equalization is combined with an adaptive
gain control stage. This enables the receive 'eye pattern' to
be opened sufficiently to allow very reliable data recovery.
The curves given in Figure 9 illustrate attenuation at ce rtai n
frequencies for given cable lengths. This is derived from
the worst case frequency vs. attenuation figures as speci
fied in the EIA/TIA Bulletin TSB-36. These curves indicate
the signific ant vari ations in signal at tenua tion that must be
compensated f or by the receive adaptive equaliz ation cir
cuit.

4.2.2.2 Base Line Wander Compensation
DP83849IF
Figure 10. 100BASE-TX BLW Event
The DP83849IF is completely ANSI TP-PMD compliant
and includes Base Line Wander (BLW) compensation. The
BLW compensation block can succ e ssf ul ly re c over th e T PPMD defined “killer” pattern.
BLW can generally be defined as the change in the average DC content, relatively short period over time, of an AC
coupled digital transmission over a given transmission
medium. (i.e., copper wire).
BLW results from the interaction between the low frequency components of a transmitted bit stream and the frequency response of the AC coupling component(s) within
the transmission system. If the low frequency content of
the digital bit stream goes below the low frequency pole of
the AC coupling transformers then the droop characteris
tics of the transformers w ill do mi nate res ulting in potentially
serious BLW.
The digital oscilloscope plot provided in Figure 10 illustrates the severity of the BLW event that can theoretically
be generated during 100BASE-TX packet transmission.
This event consists of approximately 800 mV of DC offset
for a period of 120 µs. Left uncompensated, ev ent s suc h as
this can cause packet loss.
4.2.3 Signal Detect
The signal detect function of the DP83849IF is incorporated to meet the specifications mandated by the ANSI
-
FDDI TP-PMD Standard as well as the IEEE 802.3
100BASE-TX S tandard for both volt age th res ho lds a nd tim
ing parameters.
Note that the reception of normal 10BASE-T link pulses
and fast link pulses per IEEE 802.3u Auto-Negotiation by
the 100BASE-TX receiver do not cause the DP83849IF to
assert signal detect.
4.2.4 MLT-3 to NRZI Decoder
The DP83849IF decodes the MLT-3 information from the
Digital Adaptive Equalizer block to binary NRZI data.
4.2.5 NRZI to NRZ
In a typical application, the NRZI to NRZ decoder is
required in order to present NRZ formatted data to the
descrambler.
4.2.6 Serial to Parallel
The 100BASE-TX receiver includes a Serial to Parallel
converter which supplies 5-bit wide data symbols to the
PCS Rx state machine.
-
37 www.national.com
4.2.7 Descrambler
A serial descrambler is used to de-scramble the received
NRZ data. The descrambler has to generate an identical
data scrambling sequence (N) in order to recover the origi
nal unscrambled data (UD) from the scrambled data (SD)
as represented in the equations:
-
SDUDN⊕()=
UDSDN⊕()=
Synchronization of the descrambler to the original scrambling sequence (N) is achieved based on the knowledge
that the incoming scrambled data stream consists of
scrambled IDLE data. After the descrambler has recog
nized 12 consecutive IDLE code-groups, where an
unscramble d IDLE code-group in 5B NRZ is equal to five
consecutive one s (1111 1), it w ill synchron ize to the r eceive
data stream and generate unscrambled data in the form of
unaligned 5B code-groups .
In order to maintain synchronization, the descrambler must
continuously monitor the validity of the unscrambled data
that it generates. To ensure this, a line state monitor and a
hold timer are used to constantly monitor the synchroniza
tion status. Upon synchronization of the descrambler the
hold timer star ts a 722 µs countdown. Upon detection of
sufficient IDLE c ode -gro up s (58 b it tim es) with in th e 72 2
period, the hold timer will reset and begin a new count
down. This monitoring operation will continue indefinitely
given a properly operating network connection with good
signal integrity. If the line state monitor does not recognize
sufficient unscrambled ID LE code-groups within the 722
period, the entire descrambler will be forced out of the cur
rent state of synchronization and reset in order to reacquire synchronization.

4.2.10 100BASE-TX Link Integrity Monitor
The 100 Base TX Lin k mon itor en sures that a v alid and st a ble link is established before enabling both the Transmit
and Receive PCS layer.
Signal detect must be vali d for 395u s to allow the link monitor to enter the 'Lin k Up' state, and enable t he transmit and
receive functions.
4.2.11 Bad SSD Detection
A Bad Start of Stream Delimiter (Bad SSD) is any transition
from consecutive idle code-groups to non-idle code-groups
which is not prefixed by the code-group pair /J/K.
If this condition is detected, the DP83849IF will assert
RX_ER and present RXD[3:0] = 1110 to the MII for the
cycles that correspond to received 5B code-groups until at
least two IDLE code groups are detected. In addition, the
False Carrier Sense Counter register (FCSCR) will be
incremented by one.
Once at least tw o IDLE co de groups are detec ted, RX_ER
and CRS become de-asserted.
4.3 100BASE-FX Operation
The DP83849IF provides IEEE 802.3 compliant 100BASEFX operation. Configuration of FX mode is via strap option,
or through the register interface.
4.2.8 Code-group Alignment
The code-group alignment module operates on unaligned
5-bit data from the descrambler (or, if the descrambler is
bypassed, directly from the NRZI/NRZ decoder) and con
verts it into 5B code-group data (5 bits). Code-group alignment occurs after the J/K code-group pair is detected.
Once the J/K code-group pair (11000 10001) is detected,
subsequent data is aligned on a fixed boundary.
4.2.9 4B/5B Decoder
The code-group decoder functions as a look up table that
translates incoming 5B code-groups into 4B nibbles. The
code-group decoder first detects the J/K code-group pair
preceded by IDLE code-groups and replaces the J/K with
MAC preamble. Specifically, the J/K 10-bit code-group pair
is replaced by the nibble pair (0101 0101). All subsequent
5B code-groups are converted to the corresponding 4B
nibbles for the duration of the entire packet. This conver
sion ceases upon the detection of the T/R code-group pair
denoting the End of Stream Delimiter (ESD) or with the
reception of a minimum of two IDLE code-groups.

4.3.1 100BASE-FX Transmit
In 100BASE-FX mode, the device Transmit Pins conn ect to
an industry standard Fiber Transceiver with PECL signalling through a capaciti ve ly co upl ed circuit.
In FX mode, the de vice bypasses the Scrambl er and the
MLT3 encoder. This allows for the transmission of serial
ized 5B4B encoded NRZI data at 125MHz.
The only added functionality from 100BASE-TX is the support for Far-End Fault data generation.
4.3.2 100BASE-FX Receive
In 100BASE-FX mode, the device Receive pins connect to
an industry standard Fiber Transceiver with PECL signal
ling through a capaciti ve ly co upl ed circuit.
In FX mode, the device bypasses MLT3 Decoder and the
Descrambler. This allows for the reception of serialized
5B4B encoded NRZI data at 125MHz.
The only added functionality for 100BASE-FX from
100BASE-TX is the support of Far-End Fault detection.
-
-
38 www.national.com
4.3.3 Far-End Fault
Since 100BASE-FX does not support Auto-Negotiation, a
Far-End Fault facility is included which allows for detection
of link failures.
When no signal is being received as determined by the
Signal Detect function, the device sends a Far-End Fault
indication to the far-end peer. The Far-En d Fa ult indication
is comprised of 3 or more re peatin g cycl es, eac h consis ting
of 84 one’s f ollowed by 1 ze ro. Th e pattern is such that i t
will not satisfy the 100BASE-X carrier sense mechanism,
but is easily detected as the Fault indication. The pattern
will be transparent to devices that do not support Far-End
Fault.
The Far-End Fault detect ion pro cess co ntinuo usly mon itors
the receive data stream for the Far-End Fault indication.
When detected, the Link Monitor is forced to deassert Link
status. This causes the device to transmit IDLE’s on its
transmit path.
4.4 10BASE-T TRANSCEIVER MODULE
The 10BASE-T Transceiver Module is IEEE 802.3 compliant. It includes the receiver, transmitter, collision, heartbeat, loopback, jabber, and link integrity functions, as
defined in the standard. An external filter is not required on
the 10BASE-T interface since this is integrated inside the
DP83849IF. This section focuses on the general 10BASET system level operation.
4.4.1 Operational Modes
The DP83849IF has two basic 10BASE-T operational
modes:
— Half Duplex mode
— Full Duplex mode
Full Dupl ex Mode
In Full Duplex mode the DP83849IF is capable of simultaneously transmitting and receiving without asserting the
collision signal. The DP83849IF's 10 Mb/s ENDEC is
designed to encode and decode simultaneously.
4.4.2 Smart Squelch
The smart squelch is responsible for determining when
valid data is present on the differential receive inputs. The
DP83849IF implements an intelligent receive squelch to
ensure that impulse noise on the receive inputs will not be
mistaken for a valid signal. Smart squelch operation is
independent of the 10BASE-T operational mode.
The squelch circuitry employs a combination of amplitude
and timing measurements (as specified in the IEEE 802.3
10BSE-T standard) to determine the validity of data on the
twisted pair inputs (refer to
The signal at the start of a packet is checked by the smart
squelch and any pulses not exceeding the squelch level
(either positive or negative, depending upon polarity) will
be rejected. Once this first squelch level is overcome cor
rectly, the opposite squelch level must then be exceeded
within 150 ns. Finally the signal must again exceed the
original squelch level within 150 ns to ensure that the input
waveform will not be rejected. This checking procedure
results in the loss of typically three preamble bits at the
beginning of each packet.
Only after all these conditions have been satisfied will a
control signal be generated to indicate to the remainder of
the circuitry that valid data is present. At this time, the
smart squelch circuitry is reset.
Valid data is considered to be present until the squelch
level has not been generated for a time longer than 150 ns,
indicating the End of Packet. Once good data has been
detected, the squelch levels are reduced to minimize the
effect of noise causing premature End of Packet detection.
Figure 11).
-
DP83849IF
Half Duplex Mode
In Half Duplex mode the DP83849IF functions as a standard IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T transceiver supporting the
CSMA/CD protocol.
When in Half Duplex, a 10BASE-T collision is detected
when the receive and transmit channels are active simulta
neously. Collisions are reported by the COL signal on the
MII. Collisions are also reported when a jabber condition is
detected.
The COL signal remai ns set for the d uration of the c ollis ion.
If the PHY is receiving when a collision is detected it is
reported immediately (through the COL pin).
When heartbeat is enabled, approximately 1 µs after the
transmission of each packet, a Signal Quality Error (SQE)
signal of approximately 10-bit times is generated to indi
cate successful transmission. SQE is reported as a pulse
on the COL signal of the MII.
The SQE test is inhibited when the PHY is set in full duplex
mode. SQE can also be inhibited by setting the
HEARTBEAT_DIS bit in the 10BTSCR register.
4.4.4 Carrier Sense
Carrier Sense (CRS) may be as ser t ed d ue to rec eiv e activity once valid data is detected via the squelch function.
For 10 Mb/s Half Duplex operation, CRS is asserted during
either packet transmission or reception.
For 10 Mb/s Full Duplex operation, CRS is asserted only
during receive activity.
CRS is deasserted following an end of packet.
4.4.5 Normal Link Pulse Detection/Generation
The link pulse generator produces pulses as defined in the
IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T standard. Each link pulse is nominally 100 ns in duration and transmitted every 16 ms in the
absence of transmit data.
Link pulses are used to check the integrity of the connection with the remote end. If valid link pulses are not
received, the link detector disables the 10BASE-T twisted
pair transmitter, receiver and collision detection functions.
When the link integrity function is disabled
(FORCE_LINK_10 of the 10 BTSC R re gis te r), a g ood link is
forced and the 10BASE-T transceiver will operate regard
less of the presence of link pulses.
-
-
-
Once disabled by the Jabber function, the transmitter stays
disabled for the entire time that the ENDEC module's inter
nal transmit enable is asserted. This signal has to be deasserted for approximately 500 ms (the “unjab” time)
before the Jabber function re-enables the transmit outputs.
The Jabber function is only relevant in 10BASE-T mode.
4.4.7 Automatic Link Polarity Detection and Correcti on
The DP83849IF's 10BASE-T transceiver module incorporates an automatic link polarity detection circuit. When
three consecutive inverted link pulses are received, bad
polarity is reported.
A polarity reversal can be c aus ed by a wi ring error at eith er
end of the cable, usually at the Main Distribution Frame
(MDF) or patc h panel in the wiring closet.
The bad polarity conditi on is la tched in the 10BT SCR regis ter. The DP83849IF's 10BASE-T transceiver module corrects for this error internally and will continue to decode
received data correctly. This eliminates the need to correct
the wiring error immediately.
4.4.8 Transmit and Receive Filtering
External 10BASE-T filters are not required when using the
DP83849IF, as the required signal conditioning is inte
grated into the device.
Only isolation transformers and impedance matching resistors are required for the 10BASE-T transmit and receive
interface. The internal transmit filtering ensures that all the
harmonics in the transmit signal are attenuated by at least
30 dB.
4.4.9 Transmitter
The encoder begins operation when the Transmit Enable
input (TX_EN) goes high and converts NRZ data to preemphasized Manchester data for the transceiver. For the
duration of TX_EN, the serialized Transmit Data (TXD) is
encoded for the transmit-driver pair (PMD Output Pair).
TXD must be valid on the rising edge of Transmit Clock
(TX_CLK). Transmission ends when TX_EN deasserts.
The last transition is always positive; it occurs at the center
of the bit cell if the last bit is a one, or at the end of the bit
cell if the last bit is a zero.

-
DP83849IF
4.4.6 Jabber Function
The jabber function monitors the DP83849IF's output and
disables the transmitte r if it attempts to transmit a pac ket of
longer than legal siz e. A ja bbe r timer monitors the transm it
ter and disables the transmission if the transmitter is active
for approximately 85 ms.
4.4.10 Receiver
The decoder detect s the en d of a fra me when n o add iti ona l
mid-bit transitions are detected. Within one and a half bit
-
times after the last bit, carrier sense is de-asserted.
Receive clock st ay s a cti ve for fi ve mo re bi t tim es after CRS
goes low, to guarantee the receive timings of the controller.

5.3 ESD Protection
Typically, ESD precautions are predominantly in effect
when handling the devices or board before being installed
in a system. In those cases, strict handling procedures
need be implemented during the manufacturing process to
greatly reduce the occurrences of catastrophic ESD
events. After the system is assembled, internal compo
-
nents are less sensitive from ESD events.
The network interface pins are more susceptible to ESD
events.

capacitor values will vary with the crystal vendors; check
with the vendor for the recommended loads.
The oscillator circuit is designed to drive a parallel resonance AT cut crystal with a minimum drive level of 100µW
and a maximum of 500
µW. If a crystal is specified for a
lower drive level, a current limiting resistor should be
placed in series between X2 and the crystal.

5.6 Power Down/Interrupt
The Power Down and Interrupt functions are multiplexed
on pin 18 and pin 44 of the device. By default, this pin func
tions as a power down input and the interrupt function is
disabled. Setting bit 0 (INT_OE) of MICR (11h) will configure the pin as an active low interrupt output. Ports A and B
can be powered down individually, using the separate
PWRDOWN_INT_A and PWRDOWN_INT_B pins.

bit 11 (Power Down) in the Basic Mode Control Register,

drive the pin low, overcoming the weak internal pull-up
resistor. Alternatively, the device can be configured to ini
tialize into a Power Down state by use of an external pulldown resistor on the PWRDOWN_INT pin. Since the
device will still respond to management register accesses,
setting the INT_OE bit in the MICR register will disable the
PWRDOWN_INT input, allowing the device to exit the
Power Down state.

5.6.2 Interrupt Mechanisms
Since each port has a separate interrupt pin, the interrupts
can be connected individually or may be combined in a
wired-OR fashion. If the interrupts share a single connec
tion, each port status should be checked following an interrupt.
The interrupt function is controlled via register access. All
interrupt sources are disabled by default. Setting bit 1
(INTEN) of MICR (11h) will enable interrupts to be output,
dependent on the interrupt mask set in the lower byte of
the MISR (12h). The PWRDOWN_INT pin is asynchro
nously asserted low when an interrupt condition occurs.
The source of the interrupt can be determined by reading
the upper byte of the MISR. One or more bits in the MISR
will be set, denoting all currently pending interrupts. Read
ing of the MISR clears ALL pending interrupts.
Example: To generate an interrupt on a change of link status or on a change of energy detect power state, the steps
would be:
— Write 0003h to MICR to set INTEN and INT_OE
— Write 0060h to MISR to set ED_INT_EN and
LINK_INT_EN
— Monitor PWRDOWN_INT pin
When PWRDOWN_INT pin asserts low, the user would
read the MISR register to see if the ED_INT or LINK_INT
bits are set, i.e. which source caused the interrupt. After
reading the MISR, the interrupt bits should clear and the
PWRDOWN_INT pin will deassert.

5.7 Energy Detect Mode
When Energy Detect is enabled and there is no activity on
the cable, the DP83849IF will remain in a low power mode
while monitoring the transmission line. Activity on the line
will cause the DP83849IF to go through a normal power up
sequence. Regardless of cable activity, the DP83849IF will
occasionally wake up the transmitter to put ED pulses on
the line, but will otherwise draw as little power as possible.
Energy detect functionality is controlled via register Energy
Detect Control (EDCR), address 1Dh.
5.8 Link Diagnostic Capabilities
The DP83849IF contains several system diagnostic capabilities for evaluating link quality and detecting potential
cabling faults in Twisted Pair cabling. Software configura
tion is available through the Link Diagnostics Registers Page 2 which can be selected via Page Select Register
(PAGESEL), address 13h. These capabilities include:
— Linked Cable Status
— Link Quality Monitor
— TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) Cable Diagnostics
-
5.8.1 Linked Cable Status
In an active conne ction wi th a valid link s tatu s, the f ollow ing
diagnostic capabilities are available:
— Polarity reversal
— Cable swap (MDI vs MDIX) detection
— 100Mb Cable Length Estimation
— Frequency offset relative to link partner
— Cable Signal Quality Estimation
5.8.1.1 Polarity Reversal
The DP83849IF detects polarity reversal by detecting negative link pulses. The Polarity indication is available in bit
12 of the PHYSTS (10h) or bit 4 of the 10BTSCR (1Ah).
Inverted polarity indicates the positive and negative con
ductors in the receive pair are swapped. Since polarity is
corrected by the receiver, this does not necessarily indicate
a functional problem in the cable.
Since the polarity indication is dependent on link pulses
from the link partner, polarity indication is only valid in
10Mb modes of operation, or in 100Mb Auto-Negotiated
mode. Polarity indication is not available in 100Mb forced
mode of operation or in a parallel detected 100Mb mode.
5.8.1.2 Cable Swap Indication
As part of Auto-Negotiation, the DP83849IF has the ability
(using Auto-MDIX) to automatically detect a cable with
swapped MDI pairs and select the appropriate pairs for
transmitting and receiving data. Normal operation is
termed MDI, while crossed operation is MDIX. The MDIX
status can be read from bit 14 of the PHYSTS (10h).
5.8.1.3 100MB Cable Length Estimation
The DP83849IF provides a method of estimating cable
length based on electrical characteristics of the 100Mb
Link. This essentially provides an effective cable length
rather than a measurement of the physical cable length.
The cable length estimation is only available in 100Mb
mode of operation with a valid Link status. The cable
length estimation is available at the Link Diagnostics Reg
isters - Page 2, register 100Mb Length Detect
(LEN100_DET), address 14h.
5.8.1.4 Frequency Offset Relative to Link Partner
As part of the 100Mb clock recovery process, the DSP
implementation provides a frequency control parameter.
This value may be used to indicate the frequency offset of
the device relative to the lin k p artner. This operation is only
available in 100Mb operation with a valid link status. The
frequency offset can be determined using the register
100Mb Frequency Offset Indication (FREQ100), address
15h, of the Link Diagnostics Registers - Page 2.
Two different versions of the Frequency Offset may be
monitored through bits [7:0] of register FREQ100 (15h).
The first is the long-term Frequency Offset. The second is
the current Frequency Control value, which includes shortterm phase adjustments and can provide information on
the amount of jitter in the system.

5.8.1.5 Cable Signal Quality Estimation
The cable signal quality estimator keeps a simple tracking
of results of the DSP and can be used to generate an
approximate Signal-to-Noise Ratio for the 100Mb receiver.
This information is available to software through the Link
Diagnostics Registers - Page 2: Variance Control
(VAR_CTRL), address 1Ah and Data (VAR_DATA),
address 1Bh.
The variance computation times (VAR_TIMER) can be
chosen from the set of {2, 4, 6, 8} ms. The 32-bit variance
sum can be read by two consecutive reads of the
VAR_DATA register. This sum can be used to compute an
SNR estimate by software using the following eq uation:
SNR = 10log10((37748736 * VAR_TIMER) / Variance).
5.8.2 Link Quality Monitor
The Link Quality Monitor allows a method to generate an
alarm when the DSP adaption strays from a programmable
window. This could occur due to changes in the cable
which could indicate a potential problem. Software can
program thresholds for the following DSP parameters to be
used to interrupt the system:
— Digital Equalizer C1 Coefficient (DEQ C1)

5.8.3 TDR Cable Diagnostics
The DP83849IF implements a Time Domain Reflectometry
(TDR) method of cable length measurement and evalua
tion which can be used to evaluate a connected twisted
pair cable. The TDR implementation involves sending a
pulse out on either the Transmit or Receive conductor pair
and observi ng the re sults on eit her pair. By obser ving the
types and strength of ref lec tio ns on eac h p a ir, software can
determine the following:
—Cable short
— Cable open
— Distance to fault
— Identify which pair has a fault
— Pair sk ew
This is especially useful for eliminating the transmitted
pulse, but also may be used to look for multiple reflections.
-
5.8.3.3 TDR Control Interface
The TDR Control interface is implemented in the Li nk D ia gnostics Registers - Page 2 through TDR Control
(TDR_CTRL), address 16h and TDR Window (TDR_WIN),
address 17h. The following basic controls are:
— TDR Enable: Enable bit 15 of TDR_CTRL (16h) to allow
the TDR function. This bypasses normal operation and
gives control of the CD10 and CD100 block to the TDR
function.
— TDR Send Pulse: Enable bit 11 of TDR _CTRL (16 h) to
send the TDR pulse and starts the TDR Mo nitor.
DP83849IF
The TDR cable diagnostics works best in certain conditions. For example, an unterminated cable provides a
good reflection for measuring cable length, while a cable
with an ideal term ina tio n to an unpowered partner ma y p ro
vide no reflection at al l.
5.8.3.1 TDR Pulse Genera tor
The TDR implementation can send two types of TDR
pulses. The first option is to send 50ns or 100ns link
pulses fro m t he 10Mb Common Dr iv er. The sec o nd op t i on
is to send pulses from the 100Mb Common Driver in 8ns
increments up to 56ns in width. The 100Mb pulses will
alternate between positive and negative pulses. The
shorter pulses provide better ability to measure short cable
lengths, especially since they will limit overlap between the
transmitted pulse and a reflected pulse. The longer pulses
may provide better measurements of long cable lengths.
In addition, if the pulse width is programmed to 0, no pulse
will be sent, but monitor circuit will still be activated. This
allows sampling of background data to provide a baseline
for analysis.
5.8.3.2 TDR Pulse Monitor
The TDR function monitors data from the Analog to Digital
Converter (ADC) to detect both peak values and values
above a programmable threshold. It can be programmed
to detect maximum or minimum values. In addition, it
records the time, in 8ns intervals, at which the peak or
threshold value first occurs.
The TDR monitor implements a timer that starts when the
pulse is transmitted. A window may be enabled to qualify
incoming data to look for response only in a desired range.
-
The following Transmit mode controls are available:
— Transmit Mode: Enables use of 10Mb Link pulses fro m
the 10Mb Common Driver or da ta pulses from the 100Mb
Common Driver by enabling TDR 100Mb, bit 14 of
TDR_CRTL (16h).
— Transmit Pulse Width: Bits [10:8] of TDR_CTRL (16h)
allows sending of 0 to 7 c lo ck wid th p uls es . Ac tua l p uls es are dependent on the transmit mode. If Pulse Width
is set to 0, then no pulse will be sent.
— Transmit Channel Select: The transmitter can send
pulses down either the transmit pair or the receive pair
by enabling bit 13 of TDR_CTRL (16h). Default value is
to select the transmit pair.
The following Receive mode controls are available:
— Min/Max Mode Select: Bit 7 of TDR_CTRL (16h) con-
trols the TDR Monitor operation. In default mode, the
monitor will detect maximum (positive) values. In Min
mode, the monitor will detect minimum (negative) val
ues.
— Receive Channel Select: The receiver can mo nitor ei-
ther the transmit pair or the receive pair by enabling bit
12 of TDR_CTRL (16h). Default value is to select the
transmit pair.
— Receive Window: The receiver can monitor receive
data within a programmable w indow using the TDR Win
dow Register (TDR_WIN), address 17h. The window is
controlled by two regi ster values: TDR Start Windo w, bits
[15:8] of TDR_WIN (17h) and TDR Stop Window, bits
[7:0] of TDR_WIN (17h). The TDR Start Window indi
cates the first clock to start sampling. The TDR Stop
Window indicates the last clock to sample. By default,
the full window is enabled, with Start set to 0 and Stop
set to 255. The window range is in 8ns clock i ncrements,
so the maximum window size is 2048ns.

5.8.3.4 TDR Results
The TDR function monitors data from the Analog to Digital
Converter (ADC) to detect both peak values and values
above a programmable threshold. It can be programmed
to detect maximum or minimum values. In addition, it
records the time, in 8ns intervals, at which the peak or
threshold value firs t occu rs. Th e resul ts of a TDR peak and
threshold measurement are available in the TDR Peak
Measurement Register (TDR_PEAK), address 18h and
TDR Threshold Measurement Register (TDR_THR),
address 19h. The thresho ld measurem ent may be a m ore
accurate method of measuring the length for longer cables
to provide a better indication of the start of the received
pulse, rather than the peak value.
Software utilizing the TDR function should implement an
algorithm to send TDR pulses and evaluate results. Multi
ple runs should be us ed to best qualify any rece iv ed pul ses
as multiple reflections could exist. In addition, when moni
toring the transmitting pair, the window feature should be
used to disqualify the transmitted pulse. Multiple runs may
also be used to average the values providing more accu
rate results.
Actual distance measurements are dependent on the
velocity of prop agatio n of the c able. The delay value is ty p
ically on the order of 4.6 to 4.9 ns/m.

6.0 Reset Operatio n
The DP83849IF includes an internal power-on reset (POR)
function and does not need to be explicitly reset for normal
operation after power up. If required during normal opera
tion, the device can be reset by a hardware or software
reset.
6.1 Hardware Reset
A hardware reset is accomplished by applying a low pulse
(TTL level), with a duration of at least 1
RESET_N pin. This will reset the device such that all registers will be reinitialized to default values and the hardware
configuration val ues wil l be re-la tc hed into the device (simi
lar to the power-up/reset operation).
µs, to the
6.2 Full Software Reset
A full-chip software reset is accomplished by setting the
reset bit (bit 15) of the Basic Mode Control Register

-
(BMCR). The period from the point in time when the reset
bit is set to the point in time when software reset has con
cluded is approximately 1 µs.
The software reset will reset the device such that all registers will be reset to defau lt v alu es and the h ardw a re co nfi guration values will be maintained. Software driver code
must wait 3
further serial MII operations with the DP83849IF.

6.3 Soft Reset
A partial software reset can be initiated by setting the Soft
Reset bit (bit 9) in the PHYCR2 Register. Setting this bit will
reset all transmit and receive operations, but will not reset
the register space. All register configurations will be pre
served. Register space will remain available following a
Soft Reset.

Note1: Due to the nature of the descrambler function, all 100BASE-TX Loopback modes will cause an initial “dead-time”
of up to 550 µs during which time no data will be present at the receive MII outputs. The 100BASE-TX timing specified is
based on device delays after the initial 550µs “dead-time”.
Note2: Measurement is made from the first rising edge of TX_CLK after assertion of TX_EN.
