Introduction 100BASE-TX Transmit The 100BASE-TX transmit function performs parallel-to-serial conversion, NRZ-to-NRZI conversion, and MLT-3 encoding and transmission. The circuitry starts with a parallel to serial conversion that converts the 25MHz, 4-bit nibbles into a 125MHz serial bit stream. The incoming data is clocked in at the positive edge of the TXC signal. The serialized data is further converted from NRZ-to-NRZI format, and then transmitted in MLT3 current output. The output current is set by an external 1% 6.49kΩ resistor for the 1:1 transformer ratio. Its typical rise/fall time of 4ns complies with the ANSI TP-PMD standard regarding amplitude balance, overshoot, and timing jitter. The wave-shaped 10BASE-T output driver is also incorporated into the 100BASE-TX driver. 100BASE-TX Receive The 100BASE-TX receive function performs adaptive equalization, DC restoration, MLT-3 to-NRZI conversion, data and clock recovery, NRZI-to-NRZ conversion, and serial-to-parallel conversion. The receiving side starts with the equalization filter to compensate for inter-symbol interference (ISI) over the twisted pair cable. Since the amplitude loss and phase distortion are a function of the length of the cable, the equalizer has to adjust its characteristic to optimize performance. In this design, the variable equalizer makes an initial estimation based on comparisons of incoming signal strength against some known cable characteristics. It then tunes itself for optimization. This is an ongoing process and can self-adjust for environmental changes such as temperature variations. The equalized signal then goes through a DC restoration and data conversion block. The DC restoration circuit is used to compensate for the effects of base line wander and improve dynamic range. The differential data conversion circuit converts the MLT3 format back to NRZI. The slicing threshold is also adaptive. The clock recovery circuit extracts the 125MHz clock from the edges of the NRZI signal. This recovered clock is then used to convert the NRZI signal into the NRZ format. Finally, the NRZ serial data is converted to 4-bit parallel 4B nibbles. A synchronized 25MHz RXC is generated so that the 4B nibbles are clocked out at the negative edge of RCK25 and is valid for the receiver at the positive edge. When no valid data is present, the clock recovery circuit is locked to the 25MHz reference clock and both TXC and RXC clocks continue to run. PLL Clock Synthesizer The KS8721CL generates 125MHz, 25MHz, and 20MHz clocks for system timing. An internal crystal oscillator circuit provides the reference clock for the synthesizer. Scrambler/De-scrambler (100BASE-TX only) The purpose of the scrambler is to spread the power spectrum of the signal in order to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and baseline wander. 10BASE-T Transmit When TXEN (transmit enable) goes high, data encoding and transmission begins. The KS8721CL continues to encode and transmit data as long as TXEN remains high. The data transmission ends when TXEN goes low. The last transition occurs at the boundary of the bit cell if the last bit is zero, or at the center of the bit cell if the last bit is one. The output driver is incorporated into the 100BASE-T driver to allow transmission with the same magnetics. They are internally wave-shaped and pre- emphasized into outputs with a typical 2.5V amplitude. The harmonic contents are at least 27dB below the fundamental when driven by an all-ones, Manchester-encoded signal. 10BASE-T Receive On the receive side, input buffer and level detecting squelch circuits are employed. A differential input receiver circuit and a PLL performs the decoding function. The Manchester-encoded data stream is separated into clock signal and NRZ data. A squelch circuit rejects signals with levels less than 300mV or with short pulse widths in order to prevent noise at the RX+ or RX- input from falsely triggering the decoder. When the input exceeds the squelch limit, the PLL locks onto the incoming signal and the KS8721CL decodes a data frame. This activates the carrier sense (CRS) and RXDV signals and makes the receive data (RXD) available. The receive clock is maintained active during idle periods in between data reception. SQE and Jabber Function (10BASE-T only) In 10BASE-T operation, a short pulse is put out on the COL pin after each packet is transmitted. This is required as a test of the 10BASE-T transmit/receive path and is called an SQE test. The 10BASE-T transmitter is disabled and COL goes high if TXEN is high for more than 20ms (Jabbering). If TXEN then goes low for more than 250ms, the 10BASE-T transmitter is re- enabled and COL goes low. Auto-Negotiation The KS8721CL performs auto-negotiation by hardware strapping option (pin 29) or software (Register 0.12). It automatically chooses its mode of operation by advertising its abilities and comparing them with those received from its link partner whenever |
