Jabber Detection
Jabber is a condition in which a station transmits for a period of time longer than the maximum
permissible packet length, usually due to a fault condition, that results in holding the TX_EN input for
a long period. Special logic is used to detect the jabber state and abort the transmission to the line,
within 45 ms. Once TX_EN is deasserted, the logic resets the jabber condition.
The purpose of the Auto-negotiation function is to automatically configure the PHY to the optimum link
parameters based on the capabilities of its link partner. Auto-negotiation is a mechanism for
exchanging configuration information between two link-partners and automatically selecting the highest
performance mode of operation supported by both sides. Auto-negotiation is fully defined in clause 28
of the IEEE 802.3 specification.
Once auto-negotiation has completed, information about the resolved link can be passed back to the
controller via the internal Serial Management Interface (SMI). The results of the negotiation process
are reflected in the Speed Indication bits in register 31, as well as the Link Partner Ability Register
(Register 5).
The auto-negotiation protocol is a purely physical layer activity and proceeds independently of the MAC
controller.
The advertised capabilities of the PHY are stored in register 4 of the SMI registers. The default
advertised by the PHY is determined by user-defined on-chip signal options.
The following blocks are activated during an Auto-negotiation session:
When enabled, auto-negotiation is started by the occurrence of one of the following events:
On detection of one of these events, the PHY begins auto-negotiation by transmitting bursts of Fast
Link Pulses (FLP). These are bursts of link pulses from the 10M transmitter. They are shaped as
Normal Link Pulses and can pass uncorrupted down CAT-3 or CAT-5 cable. A Fast Link Pulse Burst
consists of up to 33 pulses. The 17 odd-numbered pulses, which are always present, frame the FLP
burst. The 16 even-numbered pulses, which may be present or absent, contain the data word being
transmitted. Presence of a data pulse represents a “1”, while absence represents a “0”.
