APPLICATION INFORMATION
Table 2. Base Register Field Descriptions (Continued)
FIELD SIZE TYPE DESCRIPTION
PHY_Speed 3 Rd PHY speed capability. For the TSB41LV01 Phy this field is ‘b010, indicating S400 speed capability.
Delay 4 Rd Phy repeater data delay. This field indicates the worst case repeater data delay of the Phy, expressed as
144+(delay*20) ns. For the TSB41L V01 this field is 0.
LCtrl 1 Rd/Wr Link-active status control. This bit is used to control the active status of the LLC as indicated during self-ID.
The logical AND of this bit and the LPS active status is replicated in the “L” field (bit 9) of the self-ID packet.
The LLC is considered active only if both the LPS input is active and the LCtrl bit is set.
The LCtrl bit provides a software controllable means to indicate the LLC active status in lieu of using the
LPS input.
The LCtrl bit is set to 1 by hardware reset and is unaffected by bus-reset.
NOTE: The state of the Phy-LLC interface is controlled solely by the LPS input, regardless of the state of
the LCtrl bit. If the Phy-LLC interface is operational as determined by the LPS input being active, then
received packets and status information will continue to be presented on the interface, and any requests
indicated on the LREQ input will be processed, even if the LCtrl bit is cleared to 0.
C 1 Rd/Wr Contender status. This bit indicates that this node is a contender for the bus or isochronous resource
manager. This bit is replicated in the ”c” field (bit 20) of the self-ID packet. This bit is set to the state specified
by the C/LKON input pin upon hardware reset and is unaffected by bus-reset.
Jitter 3 Rd Phy repeater jitter. This field indicates the worst case difference between the fastest and slowest repeater
data delay, expressed as (JITTER+1)*20 ns. For the TSB41LV01 this field is 0.
Pwr_Class 3 Rd/Wr Node power class. This field indicates this node’s power consumption and source characteristics, and
is replicated in the “pwr” field (bits 21–23) of the self-ID packet. This field is set to the state specified by
the PC0–PC2 input pins upon hardware reset and is unaffected by bus-reset. See Table 9.
RPIE 1 Rd/Wr Resuming port interrupt enable. This bit, if set to 1, enables the port event interrupt (PEI) bit to be set
whenever resume operations begin on any port. This bit also enables the C/LKON output signal to be
activated whenever the LLC is inactive and any of the CTOI, CPSI, or STOI interrupt bits are set. This bit
is reset to 0 by hardware reset and is unaffected by bus-reset.
ISBR 1 Rd/Wr Initiate short arbitrated bus-reset. This bit, if set to 1, instructs the Phy to initiate a short (1.30 µs) arbitrated
bus-reset at the next opportunity. This bit is reset to 0 by bus-reset.
NOTE: Legacy IEEE Std 1394-1995 compliant Phys may not be capable of performing short bus-resets.
Therefore, initiation of a short bus-reset in a network that contains such a legacy device will result in a long
bus-reset being performed.
CTOI 1 Rd/Wr Configuration time-out interrupt. This bit is set to 1 when the arbitration controller times-out during tree-ID
start, and may indicate that the bus is configured in a loop. This bit is reset to 0 by hardware reset, or by
writing a 1 to this register bit.
If the CTOI and RPIE bits are both set and the LLC is or becomes inactive, the Phy will activate the C/LKON
output to notify the LLC to service the interrupt.
NOTE: If the network is configured in a loop, only those nodes that are part of the loop will generate a
configuration time-out interrupt. All other nodes will instead time-out waiting for the tree-ID and/or self-ID
process to complete and then generate a state time-out interrupt and bus-reset.
CPSI 1 Rd/Wr Cable power status interrupt. This bit is set to 1 whenever the CPS input transitions from high to low
indicating that cable power may be too low for reliable operation. This bit is reset to 1 by hardware reset.
It can be cleared by writing a 1 to this register bit.
If the CPSI and RPIE bits are both set and the LLC is or becomes inactive, the Phy will activate the C/LKON
output to notify the LLC to service the interrupt.
STOI 1 Rd/Wr State time-out interrupt. This bit indicates that a state time-out has occurred (which also causes a
bus-reset to occur). This bit is reset to 0 by hardware reset, or by writing a 1 to this register bit.
If the STOI and RPIE bits are both set and the LLC is or becomes inactive, the Phy will activate the C/LKON
output to notify the LLC to service the interrupt.
