1.2 General 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 su pport allows using a direct conne ct 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.

The LAN8710/LAN8710i is compliant with IEEE 802.3-2 005 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.

1.3.1 Configuration
The LAN8710 will begin normal operation following reset, an d no regi ster 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.

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.

DATASHEET
4.2.2 4B/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 corre sponding 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 5
th
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.

4.2.3 Scrambling
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 fr om being radiated by the physical wiring.
The seed for the scrambler is generated from the transceiver addre ss, 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.
4.2.4 NRZI 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” an d the logic output remaining at the same level
represents a code bit “0”.
4.2.5 100M 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 10BaseT 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.

CAT-5RJ45
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.
4.3.2 Equalizer, 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.

4.3.3 NRZI 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.
4.3.4 Descrambling
The descrambler performs an inverse function to the scramb ler 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 tha t 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 descra m bler re-starts
the synchronization process.
The descrambler can be bypassed by setting bit 0 of register 31.
4.3.5 Alignment
The de-scrambled signal is then aligned into 5-bit cod e-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.
4.3.6 5B/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. Recepti on 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 5
only when the MAC interface is in MII mode.
th
receive data bit is driven out on RXER/RXD4/PHYAD0. Decoding may be bypassed
4.3.7 Receive 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).

4.3.8 Receiver 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.
4.3.9 100M Receive Data Across the MII/RMII Interface
TR
Datasheet
Idle
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).
4.4 10Base-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)
4.4.1 10M 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 o n the rising edge of TXCLK.
The data is in the form of 4-bit wide 2.5MHz data.
