1.2General Description

The LAN8710/LAN8710i is a low-power 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX physical layer (PHY) transceiver that transmits and receives on unshielded twisted-pair cable. A typical system application is shown in Figure 1.2. It is available in both extended commercial and industrial temperature operating versions.

The LAN8710/LAN8710i interfaces to the MAC layer using a variable voltage digital interface via the standard MII (IEEE 802.3u). Support for RMII makes a reduced pin-count interface available. The digital interface pins are tolerant to 3.6V.

The LAN8710/LAN8710i implements Auto-Negotiation to automatically determine the best possible speed and duplex mode of operation. HP Auto-MDIX support allows using a direct connect LAN cable, or a cross-over path cable.

The LAN8710 referenced throughout this document applies to both the extended commercial temperature and industrial temperature components. The LAN8710i refers to only the industrial temperature component.

1.3Architectural Overview

The LAN8710/LAN8710i is compliant with IEEE 802.3-2005 standards (MII Pins tolerant to 3.6V) and supports both IEEE 802.3-2005 compliant and vendor-specific register functions. It contains a fullduplex 10-BASE-T/100BASE-TX transceiver and supports 10-Mbps (10BASE-T) operation, and 100Mbps (100BASE-TX) operation. The LAN8710/LAN8710i can be configured to operate on a single 3.3V supply utilizing an integrated 3.3V to 1.2V linear regulator. An option is available to disable the linear regulator to optimize system designs that have a 1.2V power supply available. This allows for the use of a high efficiency external regulator for lower system power dissipation.

1.3.1Configuration

The LAN8710 will begin normal operation following reset, and no register access is required. The initial configuration may be selected with configuration pins as described in Section 5.3.9. In addition, register-selectable configuration options may be used to further define the functionality of the transceiver. For example, the device can be set to 10BASE-T only. The LAN8710 supports both IEEE 802.3-2005 compliant and vendor-specific register functions.

Chapter 3 Pin Description

This chapter describes the signals on each pin. When a lower case “n” is used at the beginning of the signal name, it indicates that the signal is active low. For example, nRST indicates that the reset signal is active low. The buffer type for each signal is indicated in the TYPE column, and a description of the buffer types is provided in Table 3.1.

Note 3.1 Unless otherwise noted in the pin description, internal pull-up and pull-down resistors are always enabled. The internal pull-up and pull-down resistors prevent unconnected inputs from floating, and must not be relied upon to drive signals external to LAN8710/LAN8710i. When connected to a load that must be pulled high or low, an external resistor must be added.

Note: The digital signals are not 5V tolerant.They are variable voltage from +1.6V to +3.6V, as shown in Table 7.1.

For MII, the MAC controller drives the transmit data onto the TXD bus and asserts TXEN to indicate valid data. The data is latched by the transceiver’s MII block on the rising edge of TXCLK. The data is in the form of 4-bit wide 25MHz data.

For RMII, the MAC controller drives the transmit data onto the TXD bus and asserts TXEN to indicate valid data. The data is latched by the transceiver’s RMII block on the rising edge of REF_CLK. The data is in the form of 2-bit wide 50MHz data.

4.2.24B/5B Encoding

The transmit data passes from the MII block to the 4B/5B encoder. This block encodes the data from 4-bit nibbles to 5-bit symbols (known as “code-groups”) according to Table 4.1. Each 4-bit data-nibble is mapped to 16 of the 32 possible code-groups. The remaining 16 code-groups are either used for control information or are not valid.

The first 16 code-groups are referred to by the hexadecimal values of their corresponding data nibbles, 0 through F. The remaining code-groups are given letter designations with slashes on either side. For example, an IDLE code-group is /I/, a transmit error code-group is /H/, etc.

The encoding process may be bypassed by clearing bit 6 of register 31. When the encoding is bypassed the 5th transmit data bit is equivalent to TXER.

Note that encoding can be bypassed only when the MAC interface is configured to operate in MII mode.

4.2.3Scrambling

Repeated data patterns (especially the IDLE code-group) can have power spectral densities with large narrow-band peaks. Scrambling the data helps eliminate these peaks and spread the signal power more uniformly over the entire channel bandwidth. This uniform spectral density is required by FCC regulations to prevent excessive EMI from being radiated by the physical wiring.

The seed for the scrambler is generated from the transceiver address, PHYAD[4:0], ensuring that in multiple-transceiver applications, such as repeaters or switches, each transceiver will have its own scrambler sequence.

The scrambler also performs the Parallel In Serial Out conversion (PISO) of the data.

4.2.4NRZI and MLT3 Encoding

The scrambler block passes the 5-bit wide parallel data to the NRZI converter where it becomes a serial 125MHz NRZI data stream. The NRZI is encoded to MLT-3. MLT3 is a tri-level code where a change in the logic level represents a code bit “1” and the logic output remaining at the same level represents a code bit “0”.

4.2.5100M Transmit Driver

The MLT3 data is then passed to the analog transmitter, which drives the differential MLT-3 signal, on outputs TXP and TXN, to the twisted pair media across a 1:1 ratio isolation transformer. The 10Base- T and 100Base-TX signals pass through the same transformer so that common “magnetics” can be used for both. The transmitter drives into the 100Ω impedance of the CAT-5 cable. Cable termination and impedance matching require external components.

Figure 4.2 Receive Data Path

4.3100Base-TX Receive

The receive data path is shown in Figure 4.2. Detailed descriptions are given below.

4.3.1100M Receive Input

The MLT-3 from the cable is fed into the transceiver (on inputs RXP and RXN) via a 1:1 ratio transformer. The ADC samples the incoming differential signal at a rate of 125M samples per second. Using a 64-level quanitizer it generates 6 digital bits to represent each sample. The DSP adjusts the gain of the ADC according to the observed signal levels such that the full dynamic range of the ADC can be used.

4.3.2Equalizer, Baseline Wander Correction and Clock and Data Recovery

The 6 bits from the ADC are fed into the DSP block. The equalizer in the DSP section compensates for phase and amplitude distortion caused by the physical channel consisting of magnetics, connectors, and CAT- 5 cable. The equalizer can restore the signal for any good-quality CAT-5 cable between 1m and 150m.

If the DC content of the signal is such that the low-frequency components fall below the low frequency pole of the isolation transformer, then the droop characteristics of the transformer will become significant and Baseline Wander (BLW) on the received signal will result. To prevent corruption of the received data, the transceiver corrects for BLW and can receive the ANSI X3.263-1995 FDDI TP-PMD defined “killer packet” with no bit errors.

The 100M PLL generates multiple phases of the 125MHz clock. A multiplexer, controlled by the timing unit of the DSP, selects the optimum phase for sampling the data. This is used as the received recovered clock. This clock is used to extract the serial data from the received signal.

4.3.3NRZI and MLT-3 Decoding

The DSP generates the MLT-3 recovered levels that are fed to the MLT-3 converter. The MLT-3 is then converted to an NRZI data stream.

4.3.4Descrambling

The descrambler performs an inverse function to the scrambler in the transmitter and also performs the Serial In Parallel Out (SIPO) conversion of the data.

During reception of IDLE (/I/) symbols. the descrambler synchronizes its descrambler key to the incoming stream. Once synchronization is achieved, the descrambler locks on this key and is able to descramble incoming data.

Special logic in the descrambler ensures synchronization with the remote transceiver by searching for IDLE symbols within a window of 4000 bytes (40us). This window ensures that a maximum packet size of 1514 bytes, allowed by the IEEE 802.3 standard, can be received with no interference. If no IDLEsymbols are detected within this time-period, receive operation is aborted and the descrambler re-starts the synchronization process.

The descrambler can be bypassed by setting bit 0 of register 31.

4.3.5Alignment

The de-scrambled signal is then aligned into 5-bit code-groups by recognizing the /J/K/ Start-of-Stream Delimiter (SSD) pair at the start of a packet. Once the code-word alignment is determined, it is stored and utilized until the next start of frame.

4.3.65B/4B Decoding

The 5-bit code-groups are translated into 4-bit data nibbles according to the 4B/5B table. The translated data is presented on the RXD[3:0] signal lines. The SSD, /J/K/, is translated to “0101 0101” as the first 2 nibbles of the MAC preamble. Reception of the SSD causes the transceiver to assert the RXDV signal, indicating that valid data is available on the RXD bus. Successive valid code-groups are translated to data nibbles. Reception of either the End of Stream Delimiter (ESD) consisting of the /T/R/ symbols, or at least two /I/ symbols causes the transceiver to de-assert carrier sense and RXDV.

These symbols are not translated into data.

The decoding process may be bypassed by clearing bit 6 of register 31. When the decoding is bypassed the 5th receive data bit is driven out on RXER/RXD4/PHYAD0. Decoding may be bypassed only when the MAC interface is in MII mode.

4.3.7Receive Data Valid Signal

The Receive Data Valid signal (RXDV) indicates that recovered and decoded nibbles are being presented on the RXD[3:0] outputs synchronous to RXCLK. RXDV becomes active after the /J/K/ delimiter has been recognized and RXD is aligned to nibble boundaries. It remains active until either the /T/R/ delimiter is recognized or link test indicates failure or SIGDET becomes false.

RXDV is asserted when the first nibble of translated /J/K/ is ready for transfer over the Media Independent Interface (MII mode).

4.3.8Receiver Errors

During a frame, unexpected code-groups are considered receive errors. Expected code groups are the DATA set (0 through F), and the /T/R/ (ESD) symbol pair. When a receive error occurs, the RXER signal is asserted and arbitrary data is driven onto the RXD[3:0] lines. Should an error be detected during the time that the /J/K/ delimiter is being decoded (bad SSD error), RXER is asserted true and the value ‘1110’ is driven onto the RXD[3:0] lines. Note that the Valid Data signal is not yet asserted when the bad SSD error occurs.

4.3.9100M Receive Data Across the MII/RMII Interface

In MII mode, the 4-bit data nibbles are sent to the MII block. These data nibbles are clocked to the controller at a rate of 25MHz. The controller samples the data on the rising edge of RXCLK. To ensure that the setup and hold requirements are met, the nibbles are clocked out of the transceiver on the falling edge of RXCLK. RXCLK is the 25MHz output clock for the MII bus. It is recovered from the received data to clock the RXD bus. If there is no received signal, it is derived from the system reference clock (XTAL1/CLKIN).

When tracking the received data, RXCLK has a maximum jitter of 0.8ns (provided that the jitter of the input clock, XTAL1/CLKIN, is below 100ps).

In RMII mode, the 2-bit data nibbles are sent to the RMII block. These data nibbles are clocked to the controller at a rate of 50MHz. The controller samples the data on the rising edge of XTAL1/CLKIN (REF_CLK). To ensure that the setup and hold requirements are met, the nibbles are clocked out of the transceiver on the falling edge of XTAL1/CLKIN (REF_CLK).

4.410Base-T Transmit

Data to be transmitted comes from the MAC layer controller. The 10Base-T transmitter receives 4-bit nibbles from the MII at a rate of 2.5MHz and converts them to a 10Mbps serial data stream. The data stream is then Manchester-encoded and sent to the analog transmitter, which drives a signal onto the twisted pair via the external magnetics.

The 10M transmitter uses the following blocks:

MII (digital)

TX 10M (digital)

10M Transmitter (analog)

10M PLL (analog)

4.4.110M Transmit Data Across the MII/RMII Interface

The MAC controller drives the transmit data onto the TXD BUS. For MII, when the controller has driven TXEN high to indicate valid data, the data is latched by the MII block on the rising edge of TXCLK. The data is in the form of 4-bit wide 2.5MHz data.
