7.6.5 Technology Ability Field (bits 4.9:5)
7.6.6 Selector Field (Bits 4.4:0)
ICS1893CK-40, Rev. C, 06/02/09
When its Auto-Negotiation sublayer is enabled, the ICS1893CK-40 transmits its link capabilities to its
remote link partner during the auto-negotiation process. The Technology Ability Field (TAF) bits 4.12:5
determine the specific abilities that the ICS1893CK-40 advertises. The ISO/IEC specification defines the
TAF technologies in Annex 28B.
The ISO/IEC specification reserves bits 4.12:10 for future use. When each of these reserved bits is:
•
•
ICS uses some reserved bits to invoke auxiliary functions. To ensure proper operation of the
ICS1893CK-40, an STA must maintain the default value of these bits. Therefore, ICS recommends that an
STA always write the default value of any reserved bits during all management register write operations.
Reserved bits 4.12:10 are Command Override Write (CW) bits. Whenever bit 16.15 (the Command
Register Override bit) is logic:
•
•
Each of the bits 4.9:5 in the TAF represent a specific technology capability. When one of these bits is logic:
•
•
With the exception of bit 4.9, the default settings of the TAF bits depend on the ICS1893CK-40 operating
mode. Bit 4.9 is always logic zero, indicating that the ICS1893CK-40 cannot support 100Base-T4
operations.
The TAF bits are Command Override Write bits. The default value of these bits depends on the signal level
on the HW/SW pin and whether the Auto-Negotiation sublayer is enabled.
With the Auto-Negotiation Enable bit (bit 0.12) set to logic:
•
•
When its Auto-Negotiation Sublayer is enabled, the ICS1893CK-40 transmits its link capabilities to its
remote Link Partner during the auto-negotiation process. The Selector Field is transmitted based on the
value of bits 4.4:0. These bits indicate to the remote link partner the type of message being sent during the
Read by an STA, the ICS1893CK-40 returns a logic zero
Written to by an STA, the STA must use the default value specified in this data sheet
Zero, the ICS1893CK-40 isolates all STA writes to CW bits, including bits 4.12:10.
One, an STA can modify the value of bits 4.12:10
Zero, it indicates to the remote link partner that the local device cannot support the technology
represented by the bit.
One, it indicates to the remote link partner that the local device can support the technology.
Zero (that is, disabled), the ICS1893CK-40 does not execute the auto-negotiation process. Upon
completion of the initialization sequence, the ICS1893CK-40 proceeds to the Idle state and begins
transmitting IDLES. Two Control Register bits – the Data Rate Select bit (bit 0.13) and the Duplex Select
bit (bit 0.8) – determine the technology mode that the ICS1893CK-40 uses for data transmission and
reception. In this mode, the values of the TAF bits (bits 4.8:5) are undefined.
One (that is, enabled), the ICS1893CK-40 executes the auto-negotiation process and advertises its
capabilities to the remote link partner. The TAF bits (bits 4.8:5) determine the capabilities that the
ICS1893CK-40 advertises to its remote link partner. For the ICS1893CK-40, all of these bits 4.8:5 are set
to logic one, indicating the ability of the ICS1893CK-40 to provide these technologies.
Note:
1. The ICS1893CK-40 does not alter the value of the Status Register bits based on the TAF bits in
2. The STA can alter the default TAF bit settings, 4.12:5, and subsequently issue an Auto-Negotiation
register 4, as the ISO/IEC definitions for the Status Register bits require these bits to indicate all the
capabilities of the ICS1893CK-40.
