TMS380C26
NETWORK COMMPROCESSOR
SPWS010A–APRIL 1992–REVISED MARCH 1993
description
The TMS380C26 is a single-chip network communications processor (commprocessor) that supports token
ring, or Ethernet Local Area Networks (LANs). Either token ring at data rates of 16 Mbps or 4 Mbps, or Ethernet
at a data rate of 10 Mbps, can be selected. A flexible configuration scheme allows network type and speed to
be configured by hardware or software. This allows the design of LAN subsystems which support both token
ring and Ethernet networks, by electrically or physically switched network front-end circuits.
The TMS380C26 conforms to IEEE 802.5–1989 standards and has been verified to be completely IBM
Token-Ring compatible. By integrating the essential control building blocks needed on a LAN subsystem card
into one device, the TMS380C26 can ensure that this IBM compatability is maintained in silicon.
The TMS380C26 conforms to ISO/IEC 8802–3 (ANSI/IEEE Std 802.3) CSMA/CD standards, and the Ethernet
”Blue Book” standard.
The high degree of integration of the TMS380C26 makes it a virtual LAN subsystem on a single chip. Protocol
handling, host system interfacing, memory interfacing, and communications processing are all provided through
the TMS380C26. T o complete LAN subsystem design, only the network interface hardware, local memory , and
minimal additional components such as PALs and crystal oscillators need to be added.
The TMS380C26 provides a 32-bit system memory address reach with a high-speed bus-master DMA interface
that supports rapid communications with the host system. In addition, the TMS380C26 supports direct I/O and
a low-cost 8-bit pseudo-DMA interface that requires only a chip select to work directly on an 80x8x 8-bit slave
I/O interface. Finally , selectable 80x8x or 68xxx-type host system bus and memory organization add to design
flexibility .
The TMS380C26 supports addressing for up to two Megabytes of local memory. This expanded memory
capacity can improve LAN subsystem performance by minimizing the frequency of host LAN subsystem
communications by allowing larger blocks of information to be transferred at one time. The support of large local
memory is important in applications that require large data transfers (such as graphics or data base transfers)
and in heavily loaded networks where the extra memory can provide data buffers to store data until it can be
processed by the host.
The proprietary CPU used in the TMS380C26 allows protocol software to be downloaded into RAM or stored
in ROM in the local memory space. By moving protocols (such as LLC) to the LAN subsystem, overall system
performance is increased. This is accomplished due to the the offloading of processing from the host system
to the TMS380C26, which may also reduce LAN subsystem-to-host communications. As other protocol
software is developed, greater differentiation of end products with enhanced system performance will be
possible.
In addition, the TMS380C26 includes hardware counters that provide realtime error detection and automatic
frame buffer management. These counters control system bus retries, burst size, and track host and LAN
subsystem buffer status. Previously , these counters needed to be maintained in software. By integrating them
into hardware, software overhead is removed and LAN subsystem performance is improved.
The TMS380C26 implements a TI-patented Enhanced Address Copy Option (EACO) interface. This interface
supports external address checking devices, such as the TMS380SRA Source Routing Accelerator. The
TMS380C26 has a 128-word external I/O space in its memory map to support external address-checker devices
and other hardware extensions to the TMS380 architecture. Hardware designed in conformance with TI’s
Specification for External Adapter-bus Devices (SEADs) can map registers into this external I/O space and post
interrupts to the TMS380C26.
The major blocks of the TMS380C26 include the Communications Processor (CP), System Interface (SIF),
Memory Interface (MIF), Protocol Handler (PH), Clock Generator (CG), and the Adapter Support Function (ASF)
as shown in Figure 2.
The TMS380C26 is available in a 132-pin JEDEC plastic quad flat pack and is rated from 0°C to 70°C.

System Bus Ready (see Note 3).The purpose of this signal is to indicate to the bus master that a data
transfer is complete. This signal is asynchonous, but during DMA and pseudo-DMA cycles it is
internally synchronized to SBCLK. During DMA cycles, it must be asserted before the falling edge
of SBCLK in state T2 in order to prevent a wait state. This signal is an output when the TMS380C26
is selected for DIO, and an input otherwise.

L = Data transfer is complete; system bus is ready.
System Reset. This input signal is activated to place the TMS380C26 into a known initial state.
Hardware reset will put most of the TMS380C26 output pins into a high-impedance state and place
all blocks into the reset state. DMA bus width selection is latched on the rising edge of SRESET
H= No system reset.

cycle of each block DMA transfer, and thereafter as necessary (whenever an increment of the DMA
address counter causes a carry-out of the lower 16 bits). Systems that implement parity on addresses
can use SXAL to externally latch the parity bits (available on SPL and SPH) for the DMA address

TMS380C26
NETWORK COMMPROCESSOR
SPWS010A–APRIL 1992–REVISED MARCH 1993
architecture
The major blocks of the TMS380C26 include the Communications Processor (CP), System Interface (SIF),
Memory Interface (MIF), Protocol Handler (PH), Clock Generator (CG), and the Adapter Support Function
(ASF). The functionality of each block is described in the following sections.
communications processor (CP)
The Communications Processor (CP) performs the control and monitoring of the other functional blocks in the
TMS380C26. The control and monitoring protocols are specified by the software (downloaded or ROM-based)
local memory . Available protocols include:
in
•Media Access Control (MAC) software,
•Logical Link Control (LLC) software, (token ring version only), and
•Copy All Frames (CAF) software.
The CP is a proprietary 16-bit central processing unit (CPU) with data cache and a single prefetch pipe for
pipelining of instructions. These features enhance the TMS380C26’s maximum performance capability to about
4 million instructions per second (MIPS), with an average of about 2.5 MIPS.
system interface (SIF)
The System Interface (SIF) performs the interfacing of the LAN subsystem to the host system. This interface
may require additional logic depending on the application. The system interface can transfer information/data
using any of these three methods:
•Direct Memory Access (DMA),
•Direct Input/Output (DIO), or
•Pseudo-Direct Memory Access (PDMA).
DMA (or PDMA) is used to transfer all data to/from host memory from/to local memory . DIO’s main uses are for
loading the software to local memory and for initializing the TMS380C26. DIO also allows command/status
interrupts to occur to and from the TMS380C26.
The system interface can be hardware selected for either of two modes by use of the SI/M
selected determines the memory organizations and control signals used. These modes are:
pin. The mode
•The Intel 80x8x families: 8-, 16-, and 32-bit bus members
•The Motorola 68000 microprocessor family: 16- and 32-bit bus members
The system interface supports host system memory addressing up to 32 bits (32-bit reach into the host system
memory). This allows greater flexibility in using/accessing host system memory.
System designers are allowed to customize the system interface to their particular bus by:
•Programmable burst transfers or cycle-steal DMA operations
•Optional parity protection
These features are implemented in hardware to reduce system overhead, facilitate automatic rearbitration of
the bus after a burst, or repeat a cycle when errors occur (parity or bus). Bus retries are also supported.
The system interface hardware also includes features to enhance the integrity of the TMS380C26 and the data.
These features do the following:
• Always internally maintain odd byte parity regardless if parity is disabled,
•Monitor for the presence of a clock failure.

TMS380C26
NETWORK COMMPROCESSOR
SPWS010A–APRIL 1992–REVISED MARCH 1993
On every cycle the system interface compares all the system clocks to a reference clock. If any of the clocks
become invalid, the TMS380C26 enters the slow clock mode, which prevents latchup of the TMS380C26. If the
SBCLK is invalid, any DMA cycle is terminated immediately; otherwise, the DMA cycle is completed and then
the TMS380C26 is placed in slow clock mode.
When the TMS380C26 enters the slow clock mode, the clock that failed is replaced by a slow free-running clock
and the device is placed into a low-power reset state. When the failed clock(s) return to valid operation, the
TMS380C26 must be re-initialized.
Using DMA, a continuous transfer rate of 64 Mbits per second (Mbps), which is 8 MBytes per second (MBps),
can be obtained. For pseudo-DMA a continuous transfer rate of 48 Mbps (6 MBps) can be obtained when using
a 16-MHz clock. The DIO transfer rate is not a significant issue, since the main purpose of DIO is for downloading
and initialization. For comparison, the ISA bus continuous DMA transfer is rated for approximately 23 Mbps.
memory interface (MIF)
The Memory Interface (MIF) performs the memory management to allow the TMS380C26 to address 2 MBytes
in local memory. Hardware in the MIF allows the TMS380C26 to be directly connected to DRAMs without
additional circuitry. This glueless DRAM connection includes the DRAM refresh controller.
The MIF also handles all internal bus arbitration between these blocks. When required, the MIF then arbitrates
for the external bus.
The MIF is responsible for the memory mapping of the CPU of a task. The memory map of DRAMs, EPROMs,
Burned-in Addresses (BIA), and External Devices are appropriately addressed when required by the System
Interface (SIF), Protocol Handler (PH), or for a DMA transfer.
The memory interface is capable of a 64 Mbps continuous transfer rate when using a 4-MHz local bus (64-MHz
device crystal).
protocol handler (PH)
The Protocol Handler (PH) performs the hardware-based realtime protocol functions for a token ring or Ethernet
Local Area Network (LAN). Network type is determined by the test pins TEST0–2. Token ring network is
determined by software and can be either 16-Mbps or 4-Mbps. These speeds are not fixed by the hardware,
but by the software.
The (PH) converts the parallel transmit data to serial network data of the appropriate coding, and converts the
received serial data to parallel data. The PH data management state machines direct the transmission/reception
of data to/from local memory through the MIF. The PH’s buffer management state machines automatically
oversee this process, directly sending/receiving linked-lists of frames without CPU intervention.

•Provide internal parity protection
•Control and verify the physical layer circuitry interface signals
Integrity of the transmitted and received data is assured by cyclic redundancy checks (CRC), detection of
network data violations, and parity on internal data paths. All data paths and registers are optionally
parity-protected to assure functional integrity.
adapter support function (ASF)
The Adapter Support Function (ASF) performs support functions not contained in the other blocks. The features
are:
•The TMS380C26 base timer,
•Identification, management, and service of internal and external interrupts,
•Test pin mode control, including the unit-in-place mode for board testing,
•Checks for illegal states, such as illegal opcodes and parity.
clock generator (CG)
The Clock Generator (CG) performs the generation of all the clocks required by the other functional blocks and
the local memory bus clocks. This block also generates the reference clock to be sampled by the SIF to
determine if the TMS380C26 needs to be placed into slow clock mode. This reference clock is free floating in
the range of 10 – 100 kHz.
user-accessible hardware registers and TMS380C26-internal pointers
The following tables show how to access internal data via pointers and how to address the registers in the host
interface. The SIFACL register, which directly controls device operation, is described in detail.
NOTE:
The Adapter-Internal Pointers Table is defined only after TMS380C26 initialization and until the OPEN
command is issued.
22
These pointers are defined by the TMS380C26 software (microcode), and this table describes the release
1.00 and 2.x software.

Bits 0-2: TEST (0–2). Value on TEST (0–2) pins.
These bits are read only and always reflect the value on the corresponding device pins. This
allows the host S/W to determine the network type and speed configuration. If the network speed
and type are software configurable, these bits can be used to determine which configurations
are supported by the network hardware.

Bit 12:SINTEN — System-Interrupt Enable
This bit allows the host processor to enable or disable system interrupt requests from the
TMS380C26. The system interrupt request from the TMS380C26 is on the SINTR/SIRQ pin. The
following equation shows how the SINTR/SIRQ pin is driven. The table also explains the results
of the states.
11XXPseudo-DMA is active.
10XX

RESULT
The TMS380C26 generated a system
interrupt for a pseudo-DMA.
The TMS380C26 will generate a system
interrupt.
The TMS380C26 will not generate a system
interrupt.
The TMS380C26 can not generate a system
interrupt.
Bit 13:PEN — Adapter Parity Enable
This bit determines whether data transfers within the TMS380C26 are checked for parity.
0=Data transfers are not checked for parity
1=Data transfers are checked for correct odd parity.
Bit 14 — 15: NSELOUT (0–1) — Network selection outputs.
The values in these bits control the output pins NSELOUT0 and NSELOUT1. These bits can only
be modified while the ARESET bit is set.
These bits can be used to software configure a multi-protocol TMS380C26, as follows:
The NSELOUT0 and NSELOUT1 pins should be connected to TEST0 and TEST1 pins
respectively (TEST2 should be left unconnected or tied high). NSELOUT0 should be used to
select network speed and NSELOUT1 network type, as shown in the table below:
NSELOUT0NSELOUT1
00Reserved
