clock. This is used to Manchester encode the NRZ data stream. When no data is being transmitted
(TXEN is low), the 10M TX block outputs Normal Link Pulses (NLPs) to maintain communications with
the remote link partner.
10M Transmit Drivers
The Manchester encoded data is sent to the analog transmitter where it is shaped and filtered before
being driven out as a differential signal across the TXP and TXN outputs.
10BASE-T Receive
The 10BASE-T receiver gets the Manchester- encoded analog signal from the cable via the magnetics.
It recovers the receive clock from the signal and uses this clock to recover the NRZI data stream. This
10M serial data is converted to 4-bit data nibbles which are passed to the controller via MII at a rate
of 2.5MHz.
This 10M receiver uses the following blocks:
10M Receive Input and Squelch
The Manchester signal from the cable is fed into the transceiver (on inputs RXP and RXN) via 1:1 ratio
magnetics. It is first filtered to reduce any out-of-band noise. It then passes through a SQUELCH
circuit. The SQUELCH is a set of amplitude and timing comparators that normally reject differential
voltage levels below 300mV and detect and recognize differential voltages above 585mV.
Manchester Decoding
The output of the SQUELCH goes to the 10M RX block where it is validated as Manchester encoded
data. The polarity of the signal is also checked. If the polarity is reversed (local RXP is connected to
RXN of the remote partner and vice versa), the condition is identified and corrected. The reversed
condition is indicated by the
is locked onto the received Manchester signal, from which the 20MHz cock is generated. Using this
clock, the Manchester encoded data is extracted and converted to a 10MHz NRZI data stream. It is
then converted from serial to 4-bit wide parallel data.
The 10M RX block also detects valid 10Base-T IDLE signals - Normal Link Pulses (NLPs) - to maintain
the link.
10M Receive Data Across the MII/RMII Interface
For MII, the 4-bit data nibbles are sent to the MII block. In MII mode, these data nibbles are valid on
the rising edge of the 2.5 MHz RXCLK.
For RMII, the 2-bit data nibbles are sent to the RMII block. In RMII mode, these data nibbles are valid
on the rising edge of the RMII REF_CLK.
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, which results in holding the TXEN input for
a long period. Special logic is used to detect the jabber state and abort the transmission to the line
within 45ms. Once TXEN is deasserted, the logic resets the jabber condition.
