FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Am7992B serial interface adapter (SIA) has three
basic functions. It is a Manchester encoder/line driver
in the transmit path, a Manchester decoder with noise
filtering and quick lock-on characteristics in the receive
path, and a signal detector/converter (10 MHz differen-
tial to TTL) in the collision path. In addition, the SIA pro-
vides the interface between the TTL logic environment
of the Local Area Network Controller for Ethernet
(LANCE) and the differential signaling environment in
the transceiver cable.
Transmit Path
The transmit section encodes separate clock and NRZ
data input signals meeting the setup and hold time to
TCLK at TENA and TX into a standard Manchester II
serial bit stream. The transmit outputs (Transmit+/
Transmit–) are designed to operate into terminated
transmission lines. When operating into a 78
nated transmission line, signaling meets the required
output levels and skew for IEEE 802.3/Ethernet/
Cheapernet.

Transmitter Timing and Operation
A 20 MHz fundamental mode crystal oscillator provides
the basic timing reference in the SIA. It is divided by two
to create the Transmit Clock reference (TCLK). Both
20 MHz and 10 MHz clocks are fed into the Manchester
Encoder to generate the transitions in the encoded
data stream. The 10 MHz clock, TCLK, is used by the
SIA to internally synchronize Transmit (TX) data and
Transmit Enable (TENA). TCLK is also used as a stable
bit rate clock by the receive section of the SIA and by
other devices in the system (the Am7990 LANCE uses
TCLK to drive its internal state machine). The oscillator
may use an external 0.005% crystal or an external
TTL-level input as a reference, which will achieve a
transmit accuracy of 0.01% (no external adjustments
are required).
Transmission is enabled when TENA is activated. As
long as TENA remains HIGH, signals at TX will be en-
coded as Manchester and will appear at Transmit+ and
Transmit–. When TENA goes LOW, the differential
transmit outputs go to one of two idle states determined
by the circuit configuration of TSEL:
TSEL HIGH: The idle state of Transmit yields “zero”
differential to operate transformer-coupled loads (see
Figure 2, Transmitter Timing—End of Transmission
waveform diagram and Typical Performance Curve
diagram).
TSEL LOW: In this idle state, Transmit+ is positive to
Transmit– (logical HIGH) (see figures and diagrams as
referenced above).
The End of Transmission—Return to Zero is deter-
mined by the external RX network at TSEL and by the
load at Transmit .
