2.0 Architecture Description

2.1 BLOCK OVERVIEW

The PLAYERadevice is comprised of six blocks: Clock

Recovery, Receiver, Configuration Switch, Transmitter, Sta-

tion Management (SMT) Support, and Clock Generation

Module as shown in

Figure 2-1

Clock Recovery

The Clock Recovery Module accepts a 125 Mbps NRZI data

stream from the external PMD receiver. It then provides the

extracted and synchronized data and clock to the Receiver

block.

The Clock Recovery Module performs the following opera-

tions:

#Locks to and tracks the incoming NRZI data stream

#Extracts data stream and synchronized 125 MHz clock

Receiver

During normal operation, the Receiver Block accepts serial

data as inputs at the rate of 125 Mbps from the Clock Re-

covery Module. During the Internal Loopback mode of oper-

ation, the Receiver Block accepts data directly from the

Transmitter Block.

The Receiver Block performs the following operations:

#Optionally converts the incoming data stream from NRZI

to NRZ.

#Decodes the data from 5B to 4B coding.

#Converts the serial bit stream into 10-bit bytes composed

of 8 bits data, 1 bit parity, and 1 bit control information.

#Compensates for the differences between the upstream

station clock and the local clocks.

#Decodes Line States.

#Detects link errors.

#Presents data symbol pairs (bytes) to the Configuration

Switch Block.

Configuration Switch

An FDDI station may be in one of three configurations: Iso-

late, Wrap or Thru. The Configuration Switch supports these

configurations by switching the transmitted and received

data paths between PLAYERadevices and one or more

MACSI devices.

The configuration switch is integrated into the PLAYERa

device, therefore no external logic is required for this func-

tion.

Setting the Configuration switch can be done explicitly via

the Control Bus Interface or it can be set automatically with

the CFÐReact SMT Support feature.

TL/F/11708– 2

FIGURE 2-1. PLAYERaDevice Block Diagram

2.0 Architecture Description (Continued)

Transmitter

The Transmitter Block accepts 10-bit bytes composed of 8

bits data, 1 bit parity, and 1 bit control information from the

Configuration Switch.

The Transmitter Block performs the following operations:

#Encodes the data from 4B to 5B coding.

#Filters out code violations from the data stream.

#Generates Idle, Master, Halt, Quiet, or other user defined

symbol pairs upon request.

#Converts the data stream from NRZ to NRZI format for

transmission.

#Provides smoothing function when necessary.

During normal operation, the Transmitter Block presents se-

rial data to the PMD transmitter. While in Internal Loopback

mode, the Transmitter Block presents serial data to the Re-

ceiver Block. While in the External Loopback mode, the

Transmitter Block presents serial data to the Clock Recov-

ery Module.

Clock Generation Module

The Clock Generation Module is an integrated phase locked

loop that generates all of the required clock signals for the

PLAYERadevice and an FDDI system from a single

12.5 MHz reference.

The Clock Generation Module features:

#High precision clock timing generated from a single

12.5 MHz reference.

#Multiple precision phased (8 ns/16 ns) 12.5 MHz Local

Byte Clocks to eliminate timing skew in large multi-board

concentrator configurations.

#LBC timing which is insensitive to loading variations over

a wide range (20 pF to 70 pF) of LBC loads.

#A selectable dual frequency system clock.

#Low clock edge jitter, due to high VCO stability.

Station Management (SMT) Support

The Station Management Support Block provides a number

of useful features to simplify the implementation of the Con-

nection Management (CMT) portion of SMT.

These features eliminate the time critical CMT response

time constraints imposed by PCÐReact and CFÐReact

times.

Integrated counters and timers eliminate the need for addi-

tional external devices.

The following are the CMT features supported:

#PCÐReact

#CFÐReact

#Auto Scrubbing (TCF Timer)

#Timer, Idle Detection (TID Timer)

#Noise Event Counter (TNE Timer)

#Link Error Monitor (LEM Counter)

2.2 INTERFACES

The PLAYERadevice connects to other devices via five

functional interfaces: PMD Interface, PHY Port Interface,

Control Bus Interface, Clock Interface, and the Miscellane-

ous Interface.

PMD Interface

The PMD Interface connects the PLAYERadevice to a

standard FDDI Physical Media Connection such as a fiber

optic transceiver or a copper twisted pair transceiver. It is a

125 MHz full duplex serial connection.

The DP83256-AP and DP83257 PLAYERadevices contain

two PMD interfaces. The Primary PMD Interface should be

used for all PMD implementations that do not require an

external scrambler/descrambler function, clock recovery

function, or clock generation function, such as a Fiber Optic

or Shielded Twisted Pair (SDDI) PMD. The second, Alter-

nate PMD Interface can be used to support Unshielded

Twisted Pair (UTP) PMDs that require external scrambling,

and allows implementation with no external clock recovery

or clock generation functions required.

PHY Port Interface

The PHY Port Interface connects the PLAYERadevice to

one or more MAC devices and/or PLAYERadevices. Each

PHY Port Interface consists of two byte-wide interfaces, one

for PHY Request data input to the PLAYERadevice and

one for the PHY Indicate data output of the PLAYERade-

vice. Each byte-wide interface consists of a parity bit (odd

parity), a control bit, and two 4-bit symbols.

The DP83257 PLAYERadevice has two PHY Port Interfac-

es while the DP83256 has one PHY Port Interface.

Control Bus Interface

The Control Bus Interface connects the PLAYERadevice

to a wide variety of microprocessors and microcontrollers.

The Control Bus is an asynchronous interface which pro-

vides access to 64 8-bit registers which monitor and control

the behavior of the PLAYERadevice.

The Control Bus Interface allows a user to:

#Configure SMT features.

#Program the Configuration Switch.

#Enable/disable functions within the Transmitter and Re-

ceiver Blocks (i.e., NRZ/NRZI Encoder, Smoother, PHY

Request Data Parity, Line State Generation, Symbol pair

Injection, NRZ/NRZI Decoder, Cascade Mode, etc.).

The Control Bus Interface also can be used to perform the

following functions:

#Monitor Line States received.

#Monitor link errors detected by the Receiver Block.

#Monitor other error conditions.

Clock Interface

The Clock Interface is used to configure the Clock Genera-

tion Module and to provide the required clock signals for an

FDDI system.

The following clock signals are generated:

#5 phase offset 12.5 MHz Local Byte Clocks

#25 MHz Local Symbol Clock

#15.625 or 31.25 MHz System Clock

Miscellaneous Interface

The Miscellaneous Interface consists of:

#A reset signal.

#User definable sense signals.

#User definable enable signals.

#Synchronization for cascading PLAYERadevices (a

high-performance non-FDDI mode).

#Device Power and Ground pins.

3.0 Functional Description

The PLAYERadevice is comprised of six blocks: Clock

Recovery, Receiver, Transmitter, Configuration Switch,

Clock Generation, and Station Management Support.

3.1 CLOCK RECOVERY MODULE

The Clock Recovery Module accepts a 125 Mbps NRZI data

stream from the external PMD receiver. It then provides the

extracted and synchronized data and clock to the Receiver

block.

The Clock Recovery Module performs the following opera-

tions:

#Locks onto and tracks the incoming NRZI data stream

#Extracts the data stream and the synchronized 125 MHz

clock

The Clock Recovery Module is implemented using an ad-

vanced digital architecture that replaces sensitive analog

blocks with digital circuitry. This allows the PLAYERade-

vice to be manufactured to tighter tolerances since it is less

sensitive to processing variations that can adversely affect

analog circuits.

The Clock Recovery Module is comprised of 5 main func-

tional blocks:

Digital Phase Detector

Digital Phase Error Processor

Digital Loop Filter

Digital Phase to Frequency Converter

Frequency Controlled Oscillator

See

Figure 3-1

, Clock Recovery Module Block Diagram.

DIGITAL PHASE DETECTOR

The Digital Phase Detector has two main functions: phase

error detection and data recovery.

Phase error detection is accomplished by a digital circuit

that compares the input data (PMID) to an internal phase-

locked 125 MHz reference clock and generates a pair of

error signals. The first signal is a pulse whose width is equal

to the phase error between the input data and a reference

clock and the second signal isa4nsreference pulse.

These signals are fed into the Digital Phase Error Processor

block.

The data recovery function converts the incoming encoded

data stream (PMID) into synchronized data and clock sig-

nals. When the circuit is in lock the rising edge of the recov-

ered clock is exactly centered in the recovered data bit cell.

The digital phase detector uses a common path for phase

error detection and data recovery so as to minimize clock

Static Alignment Error (SAE). Phase error averaging is also

included so that phase errors generated by positive and

negative PMID edges equally affect the clock recovery cir-

cuit. This greatly improves the immunity to Duty Cycle Dis-

tortion (DCD) in the data recovery circuit.

DIGITAL PHASE ERROR PROCESSOR

The Digital Phase Error Processor is responsible for sam-

pling the Phase Detector’s phase error outputs and produc-

ing two digital outputs that indicate to the digital loop filter

how to adjust for a difference between the data phase and

reference phases.

The Phase Error Processor is designed to eliminate the ef-

fects of different clock edge densities between data sym-

bols and the various line state symbols on the PLL’s loop

gain.

TL/F/11708– 3

FIGURE 3-1. Clock Recovery Module Block Diagram

3.0 Functional Description (Continued)

Since the loop gain is held constant regardless of the in-

coming signal edge density, PLL characteristics such as jit-

ter, acquisition rate, locking range etc., are deterministic and

show minimal spread under various operating environments.

The phase error processor also automatically puts the loop

in open-loop-mode when the incoming data stream contains

abnormal low edge rates. When the PLL is in open-loop-

mode, no update is made to the PLL’s filter variables in the

filter block. The PLL can then use the pretrained frequency

and phase contents to perform data recovery. Since the

loop is implemented digitally, these values (the frequency

and phase variables) are retained. The resolution of the fre-

quency variable is about 1.3 ppm of the incoming frequency.

The resolution of the phase variable is about 40 ps.

DIGITAL LOOP FILTER

The digital loop filter emulates a 1-pole, 1-zero filter and

uses an automatic acquisition speed control circuit to dy-

namically adjust loop parameters.

The digital loop filter takes the phase error indicator signals

Data Valid and Up/Down from the Phase Error processor

and accumulates errors over a few cycles before passing on

the Data Valid and Up/Down signals to the Phase Error to

Frequency converter.

The filter has 4 sets of bandwidth and damping parameters

which are switched dynamically by an acquisition control

circuit. The input Signal Detect (SD) starts the sequence

and, thereafter, no user programming is required to finish

the sequence.

At the completion of the locking sequence, the loop has the

narrowest bandwidth such that the loop produces minimal

recovered clock jitter. The PLL can track an incoming fre-

quency offset of approximately g200 ppm. After the acqui-

sition sequence, the equivalent natural frequency of the

loop is reduced to about 7 kHz (g56 ppm) of frequency

offset.

The automatic tracking mechanism allows the loop to quick-

ly lock onto the initial data stream for data recovery (typical-

ly less than 10 ms) and yet produce very little recovered

clock jitter.

PHASE ERROR TO FREQUENCY CONVERTER (O–F)

The Phase Error to Frequency Converter takes the Data

Valid and Up/Down signals modified by the Digital Loop

Filter and converts them to triangle waves. The frequency of

the triangle waves is then used to control the Frequency

Controlled Oscillator’s (FCO) 250 MHz oscillations.

Each valid Up or Down signal causes a partial 7-bit counter

(using only 96 counts) to increment or decrement at the

O–F converter’s clock rate of 15.625 MHz (250 MHz/16).

When the Data Valid signal is not asserted, the counter

holds count.

The counter value is used to produce 3 triangle waves that

are offset in phase by 120 degrees. This is done with a

special Pulse Density Modulator waveform synthesizer

which takes the place of a traditional Digital-Analog convert-

er. The frequency of the triangle waves tells the Frequency

Controlled Oscillator how much to adjust oscillation. The

phase relationships (leading or lagging) between the 3 sig-

nals indicates the direction of change.

The minimum frequency of the triangle waves is 0 and cor-

responds to the case when the PLL is in perfect lock with

the incoming signal.

The maximum frequency that the O–F converter can pro-

duce determines the locking range of the PLL. In this case

the maximum frequency of each triangle wave is 162.76

kHz, which is produced when the O–F converter gets a

continuous count in one direction that is valid every O–F

converter clock cycle of 15.625 MHz (250 MHz/16). The

triangle waves have an amplitude resolution of 48 digital

steps, so a full rising and falling period takes 96 counts

which produces a maximum frequency of 162.76 kHz

(1/(1/15.625 kHz *96)).

The 96 digital counts of the triangle waves also lead to a

very fine PLL phase resolution of 42 ps (4 ns/96 counts).

This high phase resolution is achieved using very low fre-

quency signals, in contrast to a standard PLL which must

operate at significantly higher frequencies than the data be-

ing tracked to achieve such high phase resolution.

FREQUENCY CONTROLLED OSCILLATOR (FCO)

The frequency controlled oscillator produces a 250 MHz

clock that, when divided by 2, is phase locked to the incom-

ing data’s clock.

The FCO uses three 250 MHz reference clock signals from

the Clock Generation Module and three 0 Hz to 162.76 kHz

error clock signals from the Phase Error to Frequency Con-

verter as inputs. Each signal in a triplet is 120 degrees

phase shifted from the next.

Each corresponding pair (one 250 MHz and one error sig-

nal) of signals is mixed together using an amplitude switch-

ing modulator, with the error signal modulating the refer-

ence. All of the outputs are then summed together to pro-

duce the final 250 MHz afmphase locked clock signal,

where fmis the error frequency.

3.0 Functional Description (Continued)

3.2 RECEIVER BLOCK

During normal operation, the Receiver Block accepts serial

data input at the rate of 125 Mbps from the Clock Recovery

Module. During the Internal Loopback mode of operation,

the Receiver Block accepts input data from the Transmitter

Block.

The Receiver Block performs the following operations:

#Optionally converts the incoming data stream from NRZI

to NRZ.

#Decodes the data from 5B to 4B coding.

#Converts the serial bit stream into the National byte-wide

code.

#Compensates for the differences between the upstream

station clock and the local clock.

#Decodes Line States.

#Detects link errors.

#Presents data symbol pairs to the Configuration Switch

Block.

The Receiver Block consists of the following functional

blocks:

NRZI to NRZ Decoder

Shift Register

Framing Logic

Symbol Decoder

Line State Detector

Elasticity Buffer

Link Error Detector

See

Figure 3-2.

NRZI TO NRZ DECODER

The NRZI to NRZ Decoder converts Non-Return-To-Zero-

Invert-On-Ones data to Non-Return-To-Zero format.

NRZ format data is the natural data format that the receiver

block utilizes internally, so this function is required when the

standard NRZI format data is fed into the device. The re-

ceiver block can bypass this conversion function in the case

where an alternate data source outputs NRZ format data.

This function can be enabled and disabled through bit 7

(RNRZ) of the Mode Register (MR). When the bit is cleared,

it converts the incoming bit stream from NRZI to NRZ. This

is the normal configuration required. When the bit is set, the

incoming NRZ bit stream is passed unchanged.

SHIFT REGISTER

The Shift Register converts the serial bit stream into sym-

bol-wide data for the 5B/4B Decoder.

The Shift Register also provides byte-wide data for the

Framing Logic.

FRAMING LOGIC

The Framing Logic performs the Framing function by detect-

ing the beginning of a frame or the Halt-Halt or Halt-Quiet

symbol pair.

The J-K symbol pair (11000 10001) indicates the beginning

of a frame during normal operation. The Halt-Halt (00100

00100) and Halt-Quiet (00100 00000) symbol pairs are de-

3.0 Functional Description (Continued)

Framing may be temporarily suspended (i.e. framing hold),

in order to maintain data integrity.

Detecting JK

The JK symbol pair can be used to detect the beginning of a

frame during Active Line State (ALS) and Idle Line State

(ILS) conditions.

While the Line State Detector indicates Idle Line State the

receiver ‘‘reframes’’ upon detecting a JK symbol pair and

enters the Active Line State.

During Active Line State, acceptance of a JK symbol (re-

framing) is allowed for any on-boundary JK which is detect-

ed at least 1.5 byte times after the previous JK.

During Active Line State, once reframed on a JK, a subse-

quent off-boundary JK is ignored, even if it is detected be-

yond 1.5 byte times after the previous JK.

During Active Line State, an Idle or Ending Delimiter (T)

symbol will allow reframing on any subsequent JK, if a JK is

detected at least 1.5 byte times after the previous JK.

Detecting HALT-HALT AND HALT-QUIET

During Idle Line State, the detection of a Halt-Halt, or Halt-

Quiet symbol pair will still allow the reframing of any subse-

quent on-boundary JK.

Once a JK is detected during Active Line State, off-bounda-

ry Halt-Halt, or Halt-Quiet symbol pairs are ignored until the

Elasticity Buffer (EB) has an opportunity to recenter. They

are treated as violations.

After recentering on a Halt-Halt, or Halt-Quiet symbol pair,

all off boundary Halt-Halt or Halt-Quiet symbol pairs are ig-

nored until the EB has a chance to recenter during a line

state other than Active Line State (which may be as long as

2.8 byte times).

SYMBOL DECODER

The Symbol Decoder is a two level system. The first level is

a 5-bit to 4-bit converter, and the second level is a 4-bit

symbol pair to byte-wide code converter.

The first level latches the received 5-bit symbols and de-

codes them into 4-bit symbols. Symbols are decoded into

two types: data and control. The 4-bit symbols are sent to

the Line State Detector and the second level of the Symbol

Decoder. See Table 3-1 for the 5B/4B Symbol Decoding

list.

The second level translates two symbols from the 5B/4B

converter and the line state information from the Line State

Detector into the National byte-wide code.

LINE STATE DETECTOR

The ANSI X3T9.5 FDDI Physical Layer (PHY) standard

specifies eight Line States that the Physical Layer can

transmit. These Line States are used in the Connection

Management process. They are also used to indicate data

within a frame during normal operation.

The Line States are reported through the Current Receive

State Register (CRSR), Receive Condition Register A

(RCRA), and Receive Condition Register B (RCRB).

LINE STATES DESCRIPTION

Active Line State

The Line State Detector recognizes the incoming data to be

in the Active Line State upon the reception of the Starting

Delimiter (JK symbol pair).

The Line State Detector continues to indicate Active Line

State while receiving data symbols, Ending Delimiter (T

symbols), and Frame Status symbols (R and S) after the JK

symbol pair.

Idle Line State

The Line State Detector recognizes the incoming data to be

in the Idle Line State upon the reception of 2 Idle symbol

pairs nominally (plus up to 9 bits of 1 in start up cases).

Idle Line State indicates the preamble of a frame or the lack

of frame transmission during normal operation. Idle Line

State is also used in the handshake sequence of the PHY

Connection Management process.

3.0 Functional Description (Continued)

Super Idle Line State

The Line State Detector recognizes the incoming data to be

in the Super Idle Line State upon the reception of 8 consec-

utive Idle symbol pairs nominally (plus 1 symbol pair).

The Super Idle Line State is used to insure synchronization

of PCM signalling.

No Signal Detect

The Line State Detector recognizes the incoming data to be

in the No Signal Detect state upon the deassertion of the

Signal Detect signal or lack of internal clock detect from the

Clock Recovery Module, and reception of 8 Quiet symbol

pairs nominally. No Signal Detect indicates that the incom-

ing link is inactive. This is the same as receiving Quiet Line

State (QLS).

Master Line State

The Line State Detector recognizes the incoming data to be

in the Master Line State upon the reception of eight consec-

utive Halt-Quiet symbol pairs nominally (plus up to 2 symbol

pairs in start up cases).

The Master Line State is used in the handshaking sequence

of the PHY Connection Management process.

Halt Line State

The Line State Detector recognizes the incoming data to be

in the Halt Line State upon the reception of eight consecu-

tive Halt symbol pairs nominally (plus up to 2 symbol pairs in

start up cases).

The Halt Line State is used in the handshaking sequence of

the PHY Connection Management process.

Quiet Line State

The Line State Detector recognizes the incoming data to be

in the Quiet Line State upon the reception of eight consecu-

tive Quiet symbol pairs nominally (plus up to 9 bits of 0 in

start up cases).

The Quiet Line State is used in the handshaking sequence

of the PHY Connection Management process.

Noise Line State

The Line State Detector recognizes the incoming data to be

in the Noise Line State upon the reception of 16 noise sym-

bol pairs without entering any known line state.

The Noise Line State indicates that data is not being re-

ceived correctly.

Line State Unknown

The Line State Detector recognizes the incoming data to be

in the Line State Unknown state upon the reception of 1

inconsistent symbol pair (i.e. data that is not expected). This

may signify the beginning of a new line state.

Line State Unknown indicates that data is not being re-

ceived correctly. If the condition persists the Noise Line

State (NLS) may be entered.

ELASTICITY BUFFER

The Elasticity Buffer performs the function of a ‘‘variable

depth’’ FIFO to compensate for phase and frequency clock

skews between the Receive Clock (RXCg) and the Local

Byte Clock (LBC).

Bit 5 (EBOU) of the Receive Condition Register B (RCRB) is

set to 1 to indicate an error condition when the Elasticity

Buffer cannot compensate for the clock skew.

The Elasticity Buffer will support a maximum clock skew of

50 ppm with a maximum packet length of 4500 bytes.

To make up for the accumulation of frequency disparity be-

tween the two clocks, the Elasticity Buffer will insert or de-

lete Idle symbol pairs in the preamble. Data is written into

the byte-wide registers of the Elasticity Buffer with the Re-

ceive Clock, while data is read from the registers with the

Local Byte Clock.

The Elasticity Buffer will recenter (i.e. set the read and write

pointers to a predetermined distance from each other) upon

the detection of a JK or every four byte times during PHY

Invalid (i.e. MLS, HLS, QLS, NLS, NSD) and Idle Line State.

The Elasticity Buffer is designed such that a given register

cannot be written and read simultaneously under normal op-

erating conditions. To avoid metastability problems, the EB

overflow event is flagged and the data is tagged before the

over/under run actually occurs.

LINK ERROR DETECTOR

The Link Error Detector provides continuous monitoring of

an active link (i.e. during Active and Idle Line States) to

insure that it does not exceed the maximum Bit Error Rate

requirement as set by the ANSI standard for a station to

remain on the ring.

Upon detecting a link error, the internal 8-bit Link Error Mon-

itor Counter is decremented. The start value for the Link

Error Monitor Counter is programmed through the Link Error

Threshold Register (LETR). When the Link Error Monitor

Counter reaches zero, bit 4 (LEMT) of the Interrupt Condi-

tion Register (ICR) is set to 1. The current value of the Link

Error Monitor Counter can be read through the Current Link

Error Count Register (CLECR). For higher error rates the

current value is an approximate count because the counter

rolls over.

There are two ways to monitor Link Error Rate: polling and

interrupt.

Polling

The Link Error Monitor Counter can be set to a large value,

like FF. This will allow for the greatest time between polling

the register. This start value is programmed through the Link

Error Threshold Register (LETR).

Upon detecting a link error, the Line Error Monitor Counter

is decremented.

The Host System reads the current value of the Link Error

Monitor Counter via the Current Link Error Count Register

(CLECR). The Counter is then reset to FF.

Interrupt

The Link Error Monitor Counter can be set to a small value,

like 5 to 10. This start value is programmed through the Link

Error Threshold Register (LETR).

Upon detecting a link error, the Line Error Monitor Counter

is decremented. When the counter reaches zero, bit 4

(LEMT) of the Interrupt Condition Register (ICR) is set to 1,

and the interrupt signal goes low, interrupting the Host Sys-

tem.

Miscellaneous Items

When bit 0 (RUN) of the Mode Register (MR) is set to zero,

or when the PLAYERadevice is reset through the Reset

pin (ERST), the internal signal detect line is internally

forced to zero and the Line State Detector is set to Line

State Unknown and No Signal Detect.

3.3 TRANSMITTER BLOCK

The Transmitter Block accepts 10-bit bytes consisting of

8 bits data, 1 bit parity, and 1 bit control information, from

the Configuration Switch.

The Transmitter Block performs the following operations:

#Encodes the data from 4B to 5B coding.

#Filters out code violations from the data stream.

#Is capable of generating Idle, Master, Halt, Quiet, or oth-

er user defined symbol pairs.

#Converts the data stream from NRZ to NRZI for trans-

mission.

#Serializes data.

During normal operation, the Transmitter Block presents se-

rial data to a PMD transmitter.

While in Internal Loopback mode, the Transmitter Block

presents serial data to the Receiver Block. While in the Ex-

ternal Loopback mode, the Transmitter Block presents seri-

al data to the Clock Recovery Module.

The Transmitter Block consists of the following functional

blocks:

Data Registers

Parity Checker

4B/5B Encoder

Repeat Filter

Smoother

Line State Generator

Injection Control Logic

Shift Register

NRZ to NRZI Encoder

See

Figure 3-3

FIGURE 3-3. Transmitter Block Diagram

3.0 Functional Description (Continued)

DATA REGISTERS

Data from the Configuration Switch is stored in the Data

Registers. The 10-bit byte-wide data consists of a parity bit,

a control bit, and two 4-bit data symbols as shown below.

b9 b8 b7 b0

Parity Bit Control Bit Data Bits

FIGURE 3-4. Byte-Wide Data

The parity is odd parity. The control bit determines whether

the Data bits represent Data or Control information. When

the control bit is 0 the Data field is interpreted as data and

when it is 1 the field is interpreted as control information

according to the National Semiconductor control codes.

PARITY CHECKER

The Parity Checker verifies that the parity bit in the Data

The parity is enabled and disabled through bit 6 (PRDPE) of

the Current Transmit State Register (CTSR).

If a parity error occurs, the Parity Checker will set bit 0 (DPE)

in the Interrupt Condition Register (ICR) and report the error

to the Repeat Filter.

4B/5B ENCODER

The 4B/5B Encoder converts the two 4-bit data symbols

from the Configuration Switch into their respective 5-bit

codes.

See Table 3-2 for the Symbol Encoding list.

Note: The upper group of symbols are sent with the Control/Data pin set to

Data, while the bottom grouping of symbols are sent with the Control/Data

pin set to Control.

REPEAT FILTER

The Repeat Filter is used to prevent the propagation of

code violations to the downstream station.

Upon receiving violations in data frames, the Repeat Filter

replaces them with two Halt symbol pairs followed by Idle

symbols. Thus the code violations are isolated and recov-

ered at each link and will not be propagated throughout the

entire ring.

T: Frame ending delimiter

JK: Frame start delimiter

I: Idle symbol (Preamble)

V: Code violations

The Repeat Filter complies with the FDDI standard by ob-

serving the following (see

Figure 3-5

1. In Repeat State, violations cause transitions to Halt State

and two Halt symbol pairs are transmitted (unless JK or Ix

occurs) followed by transition to Idle State.

2. When Ix is encountered, the Repeat Filter goes to the Idle

State, during which Idle symbol pairs are transmitted until

a JK is encountered.

3. The Repeat Filter goes to the Repeat State following a JK

from any state.

The END State, which is not part of the FDDI PHY standard,

allows an R or S prior to a T within a frame to be recognized

as a violation. It also allows NT to end a frame as opposed

to being treated as a violation.

SMOOTHER

The Smoother is used to keep the preamble length of a

frame to a minimum of 6 Idle symbol pairs.

Idle symbols in the preamble of a frame may have been

added or deleted by each station to compensate for the

difference between the Receive Clock and its Local Clock.

The preamble needs to be maintained at a minimum length

to allow stations enough time to complete processing of one

frame and prepare to receive another. Without the Smooth-

er function, the minimum preamble length (6 Idle symbol

pairs) cannot be maintained as several stations may con-

secutively delete Idle symbols.

The Smoother attempts to keep the number of Idle symbol

pairs in the preamble at 7 by:

#Deleting an Idle symbol pair in preambles which have

more than 7 Idle symbol pairs

and/or

#Inserting an idle symbol pair in preambles which have

less than 7 idle symbol pairs (i.e. Extend State).

The Smoother Counter starts counting upon detecting an

Idle symbol pair. It stops counting upon detecting a JK sym-

bol pair.

Figure 3-6

describes the Smoother state diagram.

3.0 Functional Description (Continued)

LINE STATE GENERATOR

The Line State Generator allows the transmission of the

PHY Request data and can also generate and transmit Idle,

Master, Halt, or Quiet symbol pairs which can be used to

implement the Connection Management procedures as

specified in the FDDI Station Management (SMT) standard

document.

The Line State Generator is programmed through Transmit

bits 0 to 2 (TMk2:0l) of the Current Transmit State Regis-

ter (CTSR).

Based on the setting of these bits, the Transmitter Block

operates in a Transmit Mode where the Line State Genera-

tor overwrites the Repeat Filter and Smoother outputs.

See INJECTION CONTROL LOGIC section for a listing of

the injection Transmit Modes.

INJECTION CONTROL LOGIC

The Injection Control Logic replaces the data stream with a

programmable symbol pair. This function is used to transmit

data other than the normal data frame or Line States. The

injection modes can be used for station diagnostic software.

The Injection Symbols overwrite the Line State Generator

(Transmit Modes) and the Repeat Filter and Smoother out-

puts.

These programmable symbol pairs are stored in the Injec-

tion Symbol Register A (ISRA) and Injection Symbol Regis-

ter B (ISRB). The Injection Threshold Register (IJTR) deter-

mines where the Injection Symbol pair will replace the data

symbols.

The Injection Control Logic is programmed through the bits

0 and 1 (ICk1:0l) of the Current Transmit State Register

(CTSR) to one of the following Injection Modes (see

Figure

3-7

1. No Injection (i.e. normal operation)

2. One Shot

3. Periodic

4. Continuous

In the No Injection mode, the data stream is transmitted

unchanged.

In the One Shot mode, ISRA and ISRB are injected once on

the nth byte after a JK, where n is the programmed value

specified in the Injection Threshold Register.

In the Periodic mode, ISRA and ISRB are injected every nth

symbol.

In the Continuous mode, all data symbols are replaced with

the content of ISRA and ISRB. This is the same as periodic

mode with IJTRe0.

SHIFT REGISTER

The Shift Register converts encoded parallel data to serial

data. The parallel data is clocked into the Shift Register by

the Local Byte Clock (LBC1), and clocked out by the Trans-

mit Bit Clock (TXCg) (externally available on the DP83257.)

NRZ TO NRZI ENCODER

The NRZ to NRZI Encoder converts the serial Non-Return-

To-Zero data to Non-Return-To-Zero-Invert-On-One format.

This function can be enabled and disabled through bit 6

(TNRZ) of the Mode Register (MR). When programmed to

‘‘0’’, it converts the bit stream from NRZ to NRZI. When

programmed to ‘‘1’’, the bit stream is transmitted NRZ.

3.4 CONFIGURATION SWITCH

The Configuration Switch consists of a set of multiplexers

and latches which allow the PLAYERadevice to configure

the data paths without any external logic. The Configuration

Switch is controlled through the Configuration Register

(CR).

The Configuration Switch has four internal buses: the

AÐRequest bus, the BÐRequest bus, the Receive bus, and

the PHYÐInvalid bus. The two Request buses can be driv-

en by external input data connected to the external PHY

Port interface. The Receive bus is internally connected to

the Receive Block of the PLAYERadevice, while the

PHYÐInvalid bus has a fixed 10-bit SMT PHY Invalid con-

nection (LSU) pattern (1 0011 1010), which is useful during

the connection process.

The configuration switch also has three internal multiplex-

ers, each can select any of the four buses to connect to its

respective data path. The first two are PHY Port interface

output data paths, AÐIndicate and BÐIndicate, that can

drive output data paths of the external PHY Port interface.

The third output data path is connected internally to the

Transmit Block.

The Configuration Switch is the same on the DP83256 de-

vice, the DP83256-AP device, and the DP83257 device.

However, the DP83257 has two PHY Port interfaces con-

nected to the Configuration Switch, whereas the DP83256

and DP83256-AP have one set of PHY port interfaces. The

DP83257 uses the AÐRequest and AÐIndicate paths as

one PHY Port interface and the BÐRequest and BÐIndi-

cate paths as the other PHY Port interface (See

Figure 3-8

The DP83256 and DP83256-AP, having one port interface,

use the BÐRequest and AÐIndicate paths as its external

port. The AÐRequest and BÐIndicate paths of the

DP83256 and DP83256-AP are null connections and are not

used by the device (See

STATION CONFIGURATIONS

Single Attach Station (SAS)

The Single Attach Station can be connected to either the

Primary or Secondary ring via a Concentrator. Only 1 MAC

is needed in a SAS.

The DP83256, DP83256-AP, and DP83257 can be used in a

Single Attach Station. The DP83256 and DP83256-AP can

be connected to the MAC via its only PHY Port interface.

The DP83257 can be connected to the MAC via either one

of its 2 PHY Port Interfaces.

Dual Attach Station(DAS)

A Dual Attach Station can be connected directly to the dual

ring, or, optionally to a concentrator. There are two types of

Dual Attach Stations: DAS with a single MAC and DAS with

two MAC layers. See

Figure 3-12

and

Figure 3-13

Two DP83256 or DP83256-AP parts can be connected to-

gether to build a Dual Attach Station, however this configu-

ration does not support the optional ThruÐB configuration.

When the optional ThruÐB configuration is desired, it is rec-

ommended that the DP83257 be used.

A DAS with a single MAC and two paths can be configured

as follows (see

Figure 3-12

#B Indicate data of PHYÐA is connected to A Request

input of PHYÐB. BÐRequest input of PHYÐA is con-

nected to A Indicate output of PHYÐB.

#The MAC can be connected to either the A Request in-

put and the A Indicate output of PHYÐAortheBRe-

quest input and the B Indicate output of PHYÐB.

A DAS with a single MAC and one path using the DP83256

or DP83256-AP can be configured as follows (see

Figure 3-

#BÐRequest input of PHYÐA is connected to A Indicate

output of PHYÐB.

#The MAC is connected to the B Request input of

PHYÐB and the AÐIndicate output of PHYÐA.

A DAS with dual MACs can be configured as follows (see

Figure 3-14

#B Indicate data of PHYÐA is connected to A Request

input of PHYÐB. BÐRequest input of PHYÐA is con-

nected to A Indicate output of PHYÐB.

#MACÐ1 is connected to the BÐIndicate output and the

#MACÐ2 is connected to the AÐIndicate output and the

AÐRequest Input of PHYÐA.

CONCENTRATOR CONFIGURATIONS

There are 2 types of concentrators: Single Attach and Dual

Attach. These concentrators can be designed with or with-

out MAC(s). The configuration is determined based upon its

type and the number of active MACs in the concentrator.

Using the PLAYERadevice, a concentrator can be built

with many different configurations without any external log-

ic.

The DP83256, DP83256-AP, and DP83257 can be used to

build a Single Attach concentrator.

See Application Note AN-675, Designing FDDI concentra-

tors and Application Note AN-741, Differentiating FDDI con-

centrators for further information.

Concepts

A concentrator is comprised of 2 parts: the Dual Ring Con-

nect portion and the Master Ports.

The Dual Ring Connection portion connects the concentra-

tor to the dual ring directly or to another concentrator. If the

concentrator is connected directly to the dual ring, it is a

part of the ‘‘Dual Ring of Trees’’. If the concentrator is con-

nected to another concentrator, it is a ‘‘Branch’’ of the

‘‘Dual Ring of Trees’’.

The Master Ports connect the concentrator to its ‘‘Slaves’’,

or S-class, Single Attach connections. A slave could be a

Single Attach Station or another concentrator (thus forming

another Branch of the Dual Ring Tree).

When a MAC in a concentrator is connected to the primary

or secondary ring, it is required to be situated at the exit port

of that ring (i.e. its PHÐIND is connected to the IND Inter-

face of the last Master Port in the concentrator (PHYÐMn)

that is connected to that ring).

A concentrator can have two MACs, one connected to the

primary ring and one to the secondary ring. In addition, rov-

ing MACs can be included in the concentrator configuration.

A roving MAC can be used to test the stations connected to

the concentrator before allowing them to join the dual ring.

This may require external multiplexers, if used in conjunc-

tion with two other MAC layers.

Single Attach Concentrator

A Single Attach concentrator is a concentrator that has only

one PHY at the dual ring connect side. It cannot, therefore,

be connected directly to the dual ring. A Single Attach con-

centrator is a branch to the dual ring tree. It is connected to

the ring as a slave of another concentrator.

Multiple Single Attach concentrators can be connected to-

gether hierarchically to build a multiple levels of branches in

a dual ring.

The Single Attach concentrator can be connected to either

the primary or secondary ring depending on the connection

with its concentrator (the concentrator that it is connected

to as a slave).

Figure 3-15

shows a Single Attach concentrator with a sin-

gle MAC.

Dual Attach Concentrator

A Dual Attach concentrator is a concentrator that has two

PHYs on the dual ring connect side. It is connected directly

to the dual ring and is a part of the dual ring tree.

The Dual Attach concentrator is connected to both the pri-

mary and secondary rings.

Dual Attach Concentrator with Single MAC

Figure 3-16

shows a Dual Attach concentrator with a single

MAC.

Because the concentrator has one MAC, it can only transmit

and receive frames on the ring to which the MAC is con-

nected. The concentrator can only repeat frames on the

other ring.

Dual Attach Concentrator with Dual MACs

Figure 3-17

shows a Dual Attach concentrator with dual

MACs.

Because the concentrator has two MACs, it can transmit

and receive frames on both the primary and secondary

rings.

3.5 CLOCK GENERATION MODULE

The Clock Generation Module is an integrated phase locked

loop that generates all of the required clock signals for the

PLAYERadevice and the rest of an FDDI system from a

single 12.5 MHz reference.

The Clock Generation Module features:

#High precision clock timing generated from a single

12.5 MHz reference.

#Multiple precision phased (8 ns/16 ns) 12.5 MHz Local

Byte Clocks to eliminate timing skew in large multi-board

concentrator configurations.

#LBC timing which is insensitive to loading variations over

a wide range (20 pF to 70 pF) of LBC loads.

#A selectable dual frequency system clock.

#Low clock edge jitter, due to high VCO stability.

The Clock Generation Module is comprised of 6 main func-

tional blocks:

Reference Selector

Phase Comparator

Loop Filter

250 MHz Voltage Controlled Oscillator

Output Phasing and Divide by 10

See

Figure 3-18

, Clock Generation Module Block Diagram.

REFERENCE SELECTOR

The Reference Selector block allows the user to choose

between 2 sources for the Clock Generation Module’s

12.5 MHz reference clock.

The simplest reference clock source option is to use an

external 12.5 MHz reference signal fed into the REFÐIN

input. This input can come from a crystal oscillator module

or from a Local Byte Clock generated by another PLAYERa

device. Using the appropriate crystal oscillator ensures cor-

rect operating frequency without having to adjust any dis-

crete components.

Using an LBC clock from another PLAYERadevice allows

one PLAYERadevice to create a master clock to which

other PLAYERadevices in a system can be synchronized.

Another reference clock source option is a local 12.5 MHz

crystal circuit. An example crystal circuit with component

values is shown in

Figure 3-19.

This circuit is designed to

operate with a crystal that has a CLof 15 pF. The capacitor

values may need to be slightly adjusted for an individual

application to accomodate differences in parasitic loading.

The REFÐSEL signal selects between the two references.

TL/F/11708– 22

FIGURE 3-19. Crystal Circuit

PHASE COMPARATOR

The Phase Comparator uses two signal inputs: the selected

12.5 MHz reference from the Reference Select Block and a

Local Byte Clock that has been selected for the feedback

input, FBKÐIN. Typically, LBC1 is used as the feedback

clock.

The Phase Comparator generates a pulse of current that is

proportional to the phase difference between the two sig-

nals. The current pulses are used to charge and discharge a

control voltage on the internal Loop Filter. This control volt-

age is used to minimize the phase difference between the

two signals.

LOOP FILTER

The Loop Filter is a simple internal filter made up of one

capacitor in parallel with a serial capacitor and resistor com-

bination. One end of the filter is connected to Ground and

the other node is driven by the Phase Comparator and con-

trols the internal 250 MHz Voltage Controlled Oscillator.

This node can be examined for diagnostic purposes on the

LPFLTR pin when the FLTREN bit of the CGMREG register

is enabled. The LPFLTR pin is provided for diagnostic pur-

poses only and should not be connected in any application.

TL/F/11708– 21

FIGURE 3-18. Clock Generation Module Block Diagram

3.0 Functional Description (Continued)

The voltage on the Loop Filter is set by the current pulses

generated by the Phase Comparator. The voltage on the

Loop Filter node controls the frequency of the 250 MHz

VCO.

250 MHZ VOLTAGE CONTROLLED OSCILLATOR (VCO)

The internal Voltage Controlled Oscillator is a low gain VCO

whose primary frequency of oscillation centers around

250 MHz. The VCO produces little clock jitter due to its

exceptional stability under all circumstances.

The VCO’s output frequency is proportional to the voltage

on the Loop Filter node.

OUTPUT PHASING

The Output Phasing block is a precision clock division circuit

that produces clock signals of 4 distinct frequencies. Within

the 12.5 MHz frequency, 5 clock signals with selectable 8 ns

or 16 ns phase difference are produced.

The following clock signals are produced:

System Clock (CLK16/CLK32)

Local Symbol Clock (LSC)

Local Byte Clocks 1–5 (LBCn) (Divide by 10)

System Clock (CLK16/CLK32)

The System Clock is provided as an extra set of clock fre-

quencies that may be used as a clock for non-FDDI chipset

portions of a system or as a higher frequency System Inter-

face clock for the MACSI device. This clock is derived by

dividing the 125 MHz clock by 8 or 4 times.

The frequency is selectable through the CLKSEL bit of the

MODE2 register. The output has built-in glitch suppression

so that changing the CLKSEL bit will not result in glitches

appearing at the output.

Local Symbol Clock (LSC)

The Local Symbol Clock is a 40% HIGH/60% LOW duty

cycle clock provided for use by the MACSI device and any

external logic that needs to be synchronized to the Symbol

timing.

This clock is derived by dividing the 125 MHz clock by 5.

Local Byte Clocks 1–5 (LBCn)

The Local Byte Clocks are provided for use by the MACSI

device, by any external logic that needs to be synchronized

to the Byte timing, and for use in concentrators to synchro-

nize the timing between multiple PLAYERadevices.

These clocks are derived by dividing the 125 MHz clock by

10. The different phase relationships between the LBCs are

achieved by tapping off of different outputs of a Johnson

counter inside the Output Phasing block.

The phase relationship (separation by 8 ns or 16 ns) of the

LBCs is selected using the PHÐSEL pin.

One of the LBCs must be used as the source of the feed-

back input, FBKÐIN, which requires a 12.5 MHz frequency.

When the PLAYERadevice is using a crystal as a refer-

ence it does not matter which LBC is used as the feedback

input. Typically the least loaded LBC is used. However,

when using an external reference that is supplied by anoth-

er PLAYERadevice, it is important to select the LBC that

keeps your system properly synchronized. Typically, all de-

vices will use LBC1 as the feedback input.

3.6 STATION MANAGEMENT SUPPORT

The Station Management Support Block provides a number

of useful features to simplify the implementation of the Con-

nection Management (CMT) portion of SMT.

These features eliminate the most severe CMT response

time constraints imposed by the PCÐReact and CFÐReact

times. The many integrated counters and timers also elimi-

nate the need for additional external devices.

The following CMT features are supported:

#PCÐReact

#CFÐReact

#Auto Scrubbing (TCF Timer)

#Timer, Idle Detection (TID Timer)

#Noise Event Counter (TNE Timer)

#Link Error Monitor (LEM Counter)

PCÐREACT

PCÐReact is one of the timing restrictions imposed by Con-

nection Management (CMT). It is one of the two most crit-

ical timing restrictions imposed (the other being CFÐRe-

act.)

The ANSI SMT standard states that ‘‘PCÐReact is the max-

imum time for PCM [Physical Connection Management]to

make a state transition to PCÐBreak when QLS, a fault

condition, or PCÐStart signal is present. This maximum

time also places a limit on the time to react to a PCÐStop

signal. This limitation does not apply to any other PCM tran-

sitions.’’ PCÐReact puts a sharp time limit on how long it

takes to transition to the PCÐBreak state and transmit the

correct line state when a PCÐBreak transition is required.

The range for the timer is PCÐReact s3.0 ms and has a

default value equal to 3.0 ms.

The PLAYERadevice contains a Trigger Definition Regis-

ter and a set of CMT Condition Registers that can be used

to satisfy the PCÐReact timing.

The Trigger Definition Register (TDR) controls two func-

tions. First, it allows the selection of the line state(s) on

which to trigger (SILS, MLS, HLS . . . ). For PCÐReact, the

line states used would be the ones that caused a transition

to the PCÐBreak state from the current PCM state.

Second, it allows specification of a line state to be transmit-

ted when the trigger condition is met. For PCÐReact, this is

the line state that needs to be transmitted when a transition

to the PCÐBreak state occurs, which is Quiet Line State

(QLS).

The set of CMT Condition registers controls interrupt gener-

ation when a trigger condition occurs. The CMT Condition

CMT Condition Comparison Register (CMTCCR), and a

CMT Condition Mask Register (CMTCMR).

Line state triggering for PCÐReact is enabled by selecting

line states to trigger on from the Trigger Definition Register

(TDR) bits 3-7.

The Trigger Condition Occurred (TCO) bit of the CMTCR is

automatically set when the trigger condition specified by the

TDR register is met.

The line state specified by the Trigger Definition Register

(TDR) bits 0–2 is then loaded into the Current Transmit

Mode Register (CTSR), causing the line state to be trans-

mitted.

3.0 Functional Description (Continued)

If the TCO Mask (TCOM) bit of the CMTCMR is set, then

whenever the CMTCR.TCO bit becomes set the Receive

Condition Register B’s Connection Service Event

(RCRB.CSE) bit will be set. This allows an interrupt to be

generated for the trigger event.

As an example, suppose the PCM state machine is in the

ACTIVE state. From this state, if a Halt Line State (HLS) or

Quiet Line State (QLS) is detected, or the Noise Threshold

is reached, the state machine must move to the PCÐBreak

state and begin transmitting QLS. To implement this behav-

ior when the PCÐACTIVE state is entered, set

TDR.TTM2–0 to 110 (Quiet Transmit), set TDR.TOHLS,

TDR.TOQLS, and TDR.TONT and reset all other bits (TO-

SILS and TOMLS). Also set CMTCMR.TCOM if an interrupt

is desired.

CFÐREACT

CFÐReact is one of the timing restrictions imposed by Con-

nection Management (CMT). It is one of the two most crit-

ical timing restrictions imposed (the other being

PCÐReact).

The ANSI SMT standard states that ‘‘CFÐReact is the max-

imum time for CFM [Configuration Management]to recon-

figure to remove a non-Active connection from the token

path.’’

The range for the timer is CFÐReact s3.0 ms and has a

default value equal to 3.0 ms.

The PLAYERadevice contains a Trigger Transition Config-

uration Register and a set of CMT Condition Registers that

can be used to satisfy the CFÐReact timing.

he Trigger Transition Configuration Register (TTCR) holds

the new configuration switch settings to be loaded into the

Configuration Register (CR) when a trigger condition occurs.

Enabling line state triggering with the Trigger Definition Reg-

ister (TDR) bits 3–7 also enables the CFÐReact response.

This means that whenever trigger conditions are actively

used for PCÐReact, the value of the TTCR register will be

used also. This implies that it either must always then be

loaded with the current configuration setting, causing no

change to the CR, or it must be loaded with the appropriate

value to accommodate the CFÐReact function.

The Trigger Transition Configuration Register (TTCR) must

be set the configuration desired when the trigger condition

occurs. When the trigger condition occurs the value of this

ing this time writes to the CR are inhibited.

To continue the example from the PCÐReact description,

suppose that when in the ACTIVE state for the PCM state

machine, the CFM state machine is also in the THRUÐA

state. If trigger conditions are enabled via the

CMTCMR.TCOM bit and it is desired to not implement CFÐ

React, TTCR must be set to the present value of CR. If it is

desired to not implement CFÐReact then TTCR should be

set to the value which would change the configuration to the

WRAP state. The wrap conditions WRAPÐA or WRAPÐB

depend on which PHY gets reconfigured.

AUTO SCRUBBING

Auto Scrubbing is an additional CMT feature that further

enhances the automatic configuration switch setting in or-

der to meet the CFÐReact timing. When enabled, Auto

Scrubbing causes 2 PHYÐInvalid symbols followed by

Scrub Symbol pairs (Idles) to be sourced for a user select-

able duration (the scrubbing time) after a trigger condition

(the same one used for PCÐReact and CFÐReact) occurs

and prior to a change in the configuration switch setting on

all indicate ports that will be changed.

Auto Scrubbing is enabled by setting the Enable Scrubbing

on Trigger Conditions (ESTC) bit of Mode Register 2

(MODE2).

The Scrub Timer Threshold Register (STTR) defines the du-

ration of the scrubbing, which can last up to approximately

10ms. The Scrub Timer Value Register (STVR) can be used

to examine a snapshot of the upper 8 bits of the STTR

TIMER, IDLE DETECTION

The Idle Detection Timer is required to flag the continued

presence of the Idle Line State for a duration of 8 Idle Sym-

bol pairs plus 1 symbol pair.

This feature is implemented in the Receiver Block by the

Super Idle Line State (SILS).

NOISE EVENT COUNTER

The Noise Event Counter can be used to time the duration

between Noise Events (which are described in detail below)

and to count frame sizes. The first feature is the most often

recognized, but the second is often overlooked and can

lead to potential difficulty if not properly set.

The Noise Event Counter is implemented as a pair of down

counters: one the actual Noise Counter and the other a

Noise Counter Prescaling value. The Noise Threshold Reg-

ister (NTR) and the Noise Prescale Threshold Register

(NPTR) can be programmed to the counter’s initial value

while the Current Noise Count Register (CNCR) and the

Current Noise Prescale Count Register (CNPCR) provide a

snapshot of the actual counter.

The Noise Event Counter decrements whenever a Noise

Line State (NLS), Line State Unknown (LSU), or Active Line

State (ALS) is received and has its start value reloaded

whenever it receives Halt Line State (HLS), Idle Line State

(ILS), Master Line State (MLS), Quiet Line State (QLS), or

No Signal Detect (NSD). The Noise Event Counter is also

reset for a Start or End Delimiter. This means the Noise

counter increments for bad events as well as for every data

symbol in a frame. Should the Noise Counter expire, it indi-

cates that a new line state (including ALS) has not been

entered for NTÐMAX time. This indicates that either a

frame is too long or that noise is being received.

For this reason it is important to choose a value for the

counter that is larger than the longest frame of 4500 bytes.

The ANSI SMT specification recommends a value for

NTÐMAX of 1.3ms for the noise threshold.

A Noise Event is defined as follows:

A noise event is a noisebyte, or a byte of data which is not in

line with the current line state, indicating error or corruption.

3.7 PHY-MAC INTERFACE

NATIONAL BYTE-WIDE CODE

The PLAYERadevice outputs the National byte-wide code

from its PHY Port Indicate Output to the MAC device. Each

National byte-wide code may contain data or control codes

or the line state information of the connection. Table 3-7

lists all the possible outputs.

During Active Line State all data and control symbols are

being repeated to the PHY Port Indicate Output with the

exception of data in data-control mixture bytes. That data

symbol is replaced by zero. If only one symbol in a byte is a

control symbol, the data symbol will be replaced by 0000

and the whole byte will be presented as control code. Note

that the Line State Detector recognizes the incoming data

to be in the Active Line State upon reception of the Starting

Delimiter (JK symbol pair).

During Idle Line State any non Idle symbols will be reflected

as the code IÊuILS. If both symbols received during Idle Line

State are Idle symbols, then the Symbol Decoder generates

IÊkILS as its output. Note the coded Known/Unknown Bit

(b3) and the Last Known Line State (b2–0). The Receive

State is 4 bits long and it represents either the PHY Invalid

(0011) or the Idle Line State (1011) condition. The Known/

Unknown Bit shows if the symbols received match the line

state information in the last 3 bits.

During any line state other than Idle Line State or Active

Line State, the Symbol Decoder generates the code VÊkLS

if the incoming symbols match the current line state. The

symbol decoder generates VÊuLS if the incoming symbols

do not match the current line state.

3.8 PMD INTERFACE

The PMD Interface connects the PLAYERadevice to a

standard FDDI Physical Media Connection such as a fiber

optic transceiver or a copper twisted pair transceiver. It is a

125 MHz full duplex serial connection.

The DP83256 PLAYERadevice contains one PMD inter-

face. This PMD Interface should be used for all PMD imple-

mentations that do not require an external scrambler/

descrambler function, clock recovery function, or clock

generation function, such as a Fiber Optic or Shielded

Twisted Pair (SDDI) PMDs.

The DP83256-AP and DP83257 PLAYERadevices contain

two PMD interfaces. The PMD Interface should be used for

all PMD implementations that do not require an external

scrambler/descrambler function, clock recovery function,

or clock generation function, such as a Fiber Optic or

Shielded Twisted Pair (SDDI) PMDs. The second, Alternate

PMD Interface can be used to support Unshielded Twisted

Pair (UTP) PMDs that require external scrambling, and al-

lows implementation with no external clock recovery or

clock generation functions required. See

Figure 3-21.

PLAYERaTO PMD CONNECTIONS

The following figures illustrate how the PLAYERadevice

can be connected to various types of PMDs.

Figure 3-20

shows how the DP83256, DP83256-AP, or

DP83257 PLAYERadevice is connected to a Fiber Optic

or Shielded Twisted Pair (SDDI) PMD using the Primary

PMD Interface.

Figure 3-21

shows how the DP83256-AP or DP83257

PLAYERadevice is connected to an Unshielded Twisted

Pair (UTP) PMD using the Alternate PMD Interface.

TL/F/11708– 48

FIGURE 3-21. UTP PMD Connections

3.0 Functional Description (Continued)

INTERFACE ACTIVATION

The Primary PMD Interface is always enabled.

The Alternate PMD Interface is enabled by programming a

PLAYERaregister bit. To enable the interface, writea1to

the APMDEN bit in the APMDREG register. The interface is

off by default and should be left that way unless it is being

used.

It will also probably be necessary to enable the Transmit

Clocks when using the Alternate PMD Interface. The Trans-

mit Clocks (TXC) are enabled by writing a 1 to the TXCE bit

in the CGMREG register. The transmit clocks are disabled

by default and should be left that way unless it is being

used.

Note that when the Alternate PMD Interface is active, the

Primary PMD Interface can not be used without the Alter-

nate PMD Interface connections. Also note that the Long

Internal Loopback (LILB) can not be used when the Alter-

nate PMD Interface is activated.

4.0 Modes of Operation

The PLAYERadevice can operate in 4 basic modes: RUN,

STOP, LOOPBACK, and CASCADE.

4.1 RUN MODE

RUN is the normal mode of operation.

In this mode, the PLAYERadevice is configured to be con-

nected to the media via the PMD transmitter and PMD re-

ceiver at the PMD Interface. It is also connected to any

other PLAYERadevice(s) and/or MACSI device(s) via the

Port A and Port B Interfaces.

While operating in the RUN mode, the PLAYERadevice

receives and transmits Line States (Quiet, Halt, Master, Idle)

and frames (Active LIne State).

4.2 STOP MODE

The PLAYERadevice operates in the STOP mode while it

is being initialized or configured.

The PLAYERadevice is also reset to the STOP mode au-

tomatically when the ERST pin is set to ground.

When in STOP mode, the PLAYERadevice performs the

following functions:

#Resets the Repeat Filter.

#Resets the Smoother.

#Resets the Receiver Block Line State Counters.

#Resets the Clock Recovery Module

#Flushes the Elasticity Buffer.

#Forces Line State Unknown in the Receiver Block.

#Outputs PHY Invalid condition symbol pairs through the

PHY Data Indicate pins (AIP, AIC, AIDk7:0l, BIP, BIC,

BIDk7:0l), when port is enabled.

#Outputs Quiet symbol pairs through the PMD Data Re-

quest pins (PMRDg).

4.3 LOOPBACK MODE

The PLAYERadevice provides 3 types of loopback tests:

Configuration Switch Loopback, Short Internal Loopback,

and Long Internal Loopback. These Loopback modes can

be used to test different portions of the device.

Configuration Switch Loopback

The Configuration Switch Loopback can be used to test the

data paths of the MACSI device(s) that are connected to the

PLAYERadevice before transmitting and receiving data

through the network.

In the Configuration Switch Loopback mode, the PLAYERa

device Configuration Register (CR) can be programmed to

perform the following functions:

#Select Port A PHY Request Data, Port B PHY Request

Data, or PHY Invalid to connect to Port A PHY Indicate

Data via the AÐIND Mux.

#Select Port A PHY Request Data, Port B PHY Request

Data, or PHY Invalid to connect to Port B PHY Indicate

Data via the BÐIND Mux.

#Connect data from the Receiver Block to the Transmitter

Block via the TransmitterÐMux. (The PLAYERadevice

is repeating incoming data from the media in the Configu-

ration Switch Loopback mode.)

Short Internal Loopback

The Short Internal Loopback mode can be used to test the

functionality of the PLAYERadevice, not including the

Clock Recovery function, and to test the data paths be-

tween the PLAYERadevice and MACSI devices before

ring insertion.

When in the Short Internal Loopback mode, the PLAYERa

device performs the following functions:

#Directs the output data of the Transmitter Block to the

input of the Receiver Block through an internal path.

#Ignores the PMD Data Indicate pins (PMIDg),

#Outputs Quiet symbols through the PMD Data Request

pins (PMRDg).

The level of the Quiet symbols transmitted through the

PMRDgpins during loopback is automatically set to the

transmitter off level.

If both Short Internal Loopback and Long Internal Loopback

modes are selected, Long Internal Loopback mode will

have priority over Short Internal Loopback mode. This is the

longest loopback path within the PLAYERadevice.

Long Internal Loopback

The Long Internal Loopback mode implements the longest

loopback path that is completely within the PLAYERade-

vice.

The Long Internal Loopback mode can be used to test the

functionality of the PLAYERadevice, including the Clock

Recovery function, and to test the data paths between the

PLAYERadevice and MACSI devices before ring insertion.

When in the Long Internal Loopback mode, the PLAYERa

device performs the following functions:

#Directs the output data of the Transmitter Block to the

input of the Clock Recovery Module through an internal

path.

#Ignores the PMD Data Indicate pins (PMIDg),

#Outputs Quiet symbols through the PMD Data Request

pins (PMRDg).

The level of the Quiet symbols transmitted through the

PMRDgpins during loopback is automatically set to the

transmitter off level.

If both Short Internal Loopback and Long Internal Loopback

modes are selected, Long Internal Loopback mode will

have priority over Short Internal Loopback mode. This is the

longest loopback path within the PLAYERadevice.

Note that the LILB path is disconnected and should not be

used when the Alternate PMD Interface is active.

4.4 DEVICE RESET

The revision B PLAYERadevice has five different levels of

device ResetÐPower Up Reset, Hardware Reset, Player

Reset, Reference Select Reset, and Stop Mode. The Re-

sets can be used to return the whole device or a portion of

the device to its default configuration.

Power Up Reset begins automatically when power is first

applied to the PLAYERadevice and reaches a certain volt-

age level. Power Up Reset affects all of the modules in the

PLAYERadevice, specifically the Clock Generation Mod-

ule (CGM), Clock Recovery Module (CRM), and the Player

Module, returning each module to its default configuration.

This reset begins by waiting for the crystal to stabilize, then

the CGM PLL proceeds to lock to the crystal and the rest of

the PLAYERadevice is reset. This reset takes the longest

amount of time at approximately 10 ms from the time the

PLAYERadevice’s power supply reaches 4.4V. Even

though the Power Up Reset is usually effective, due to the

variation in the start-up conditions of a systems power sup-

ply, the Power Up Reset trigger can not be guaranteed to

operate correctly. Therefore, a Hardware Reset should al-

ways be performed on the PLAYERaafter waiting a mini-

mum of 10 ms for the Power Up Reset to complete its reset

attempt.

Hardware Reset occurs at the rising edge of PLAYERa

device’s ERST pin. Hardware Reset affects all of the mod-

ules in the PLAYERadevice, specifically the CGM, CRM

and the Player Module, returning each module to its default

configuration. During Hardware Reset it is not necessary to

force the Clock Generation Module to wait for the crystal to

settle again at this time because it has settled in the time

since the initial reset at power up. This reset takes the sec-

ond longest amount of time at approximately 1 ms from the

rising edge of ERST.

Player Reset is activated by writinga1tothePHYRST bit in

Mode Register 2. Player Reset only affects the Player Mod-

ule. This reset is the shortest and only takes about 3 ms

from the completion of the register write. The device should

not be accessed by the Control Bus during this reset.

Reference Select Reset occurs when the PLAYERade-

vice’s REFÐSEL pin is switched from using the REFÐIN

input to using a crystal with the XTALÐIN and XTALÐOUT

pins. This is the same as a Power Up Reset and is done

because the crystal is going from a dead stop to an active

state when REFÐSEL is switched. This reset, like the Pow-

er Up Reset, takes about 10 ms from the falling edge of

REFÐSEL.

Stop Mode is activated by writinga0totheRUNbitinthe

Mode Register. Stop Mode is a selective reset that resets

the Clock Recovery Module and portions of the Player Mod-

ule.

Changes from Revision A to Revision B:

The previous descriptions describe the reset logic in the

revision B PLAYERadevice. Two changes were made to

the original revision A PLAYERadevice reset logic.

First, the Hardware Reset was shortened by eliminating the

requirement of having to wait for the crystal to settle before

letting the Clock Generation Module try to lock to the crys-

tal. This behavior is correct because the PLAYERadevice

has already waited for the crystal to settle once during the

Power Up Reset. The revision A PLAYERafollows a Power

Up Reset cycle when Hardware Reset is activated.

Second, a full Power Up Reset is now done when the clock

reference is switched to the crystal. This is necessary to

allow the crystal time to start up when it is switched to from

the REFÐIN input. This reset is not performed on the revi-

sion A PLAYERa.

Recommendations:

The following are some recommendations for using the re-

set mechanisms of the PLAYERamost effectively:

1. Always wait a minimum of 10 ms after power-up before

doing anything to the PLAYERadevice. 10 ms is a mini-

mum, it may be desirable to wait longer if the system

power supply or clock reference has not stabilized by this

time.

2. Always use the Hardware Reset to reset the PLAYERa

device after Power Up. This should be done after the

initial Power Up waiting period of at least 10 ms.

4.0 Modes of Operation (Continued)

4.5 CASCADE MODE

The PLAYERadevice can operate in the Cascade (paral-

lel) mode

(Figure 4-5)

which is used in high bandwidth,

point-to-point data transfer applications. This is a non-FDDI

mode of operation. This is only available on the DP83257

device.

Concepts

In the Cascade mode, multiple PLAYERadevices are con-

nected together to provide data transfer at multiples of the

FDDI data rate. Two cascaded PLAYERadevices provide

a data rate twice the FDDI data rate; three cascaded

PLAYERadevices provide a data rate three times the FDDI

data rate, etc.

Multiple data streams are transmitted in parallel over each

pair of cascaded PLAYERadevices. All data streams start

simultaneously and begin with the JK symbol pair on each

PLAYERadevice.

Data is synchronized at the receiver of each PLAYERade-

vice by the JK symbol pair. Upon receiving a JK symbol pair,

a PLAYERadevice asserts the Cascade Ready signal to

indicate the beginning of data reception.

The Cascade Ready signals of all PLAYERadevices are

open drain ANDed together to create the Cascade Start

signal. The Cascade Start signal is used as the input to

indicate that all PLAYERadevices have received the JK

symbol pair. Data is now being received at every PLAYERa

device and can be transferred from the cascaded

PLAYERadevices to the host system.

See

Figure 4-6

for more information.

Operating Rules

When the PLAYERadevice is operating in Cascade mode,

the following rules apply:

1. Data integrity can be guaranteed if the worst case PMD

transmission skew between parallel media is less than

40 ns. For example, this amounts to about 785 meters of

fiber optic cable, assuming a 1% worst case variance.

2. Even though this is a non-FDDI application, the general

rules for FDDI frames must be obeyed.

#Data frames must be a minimum of three bytes long

(including the JK symbol pair). Smaller frames will

cause Elasticity Buffer errors.

#Data frames must have a maximum size of 4500 bytes,

with a JK starting delimiter and a T or R or S ending

delimiter.

3. Due to the different clock rates, the JK symbol pair may

arrive at different times at each PLAYERadevice. The

total skew between the fastest and slowest cascaded

PLAYERadevices receiving the JK starting delimiter

must not exceed 80 ns.

4. The first PLAYERadevice to receive a JK symbol pair

will present it to the host system and release the Cas-

cade Ready signal. The PLAYERadevice will present

one more JK as it waits for the other PLAYERadevices

to recognize their JK. The maximum number of consecu-

tive JKs that can be presented to the host is 2.

5. The Cascade Start signal is set to 1 when all the cascad-

ed PLAYERadevices release their Cascade Ready sig-

nals.

6. Bit 4 (CSE) of the Receive Condition Register B (RCRB)

is set to 1 if the Cascade Start signal (CS) is not set

before the second falling edge of clock signal LBC from

when Cascade Ready (CR) was released. CS has to be

set approximately within 80 ns of CR release. This condi-

tion signifies that not all cascaded PLAYERadevices

have received their respective JK symbol pair with the

allowed skew range.

7. PLAYERadevices may not report a Cascaded Synchro-

nization Error if the JK symbols are corrupted in the point-

to-point links.

8. To guarantee integrity of the interframe information, the

user must put at least 8 Idle symbol pairs between

frames. The PLAYERadevice will function properly with

only 4 Idle symbol pairs, however the interframe symbols

may be corrupted with random non-JK symbols.

The MACSI device could be used to provide the required

framing and optional FCS support.

2. The Transmitter Block detects a parity error in the incoming PHY Request Data.

The source of the data can be from the PHY Invalid Bus, the Receive Bus, the AÐBus, or the BÐBus of the

Configuration Switch.

Note: Parity is only checked on data that goes into the transmitter block. This means that any data that is just routed through the configuration

switch without going into the transmit block is not checked.

D3 CWI CONDITIONAL WRITE INHIBIT: Set to 1 when bits within mentioned registers do not match bits in the

corresponding compare register. This bit ensures that new (i.e. unread) data is not inadvertently cleared while old

data is being cleared through the Control Bus Interface.

This bit is set to 1 to indicate that a bit in a condition write register was not written because it had changed since

the previous read. The following registers are affected:

Interrupt Condition Register (Register 02, ICR)

Current Transmit State Register (Register 04, CTSR)

Receive Condition Register A (Register 09, RCRA)

Receive Condition Register B (Register 0A, RCRB)

CMT Condition Register (Register 20, CMTCR)

The previous registers are affected when they differ from the value of the corresponding bit in the following

registers respectively:

Interrupt Condition Compare Register (Register 1A, ICCR)

Current Transmit State Compare Register (Register 1B, CTSCR)

Receive Condition Compare Register A (Register 1C, RCCRA)

Receive Condition Compare Register B (Register 1D, RCCRB)

CMT Condition Compare Register (Register 1F, CMTCCR)

This bit must be cleared by software. Note that this differs from the MACSI, BMAC and BSI device bits of the same

name.

The Configuration Register (Register 01, CR) can not be written to during scrubbing.

D4 LEMT LINK ERROR MONITOR THRESHOLD: This bit is set to 1 when the internal 8-bit Link Error Monitor Counter

reaches zero. It will remain set and is cleared by software.

During the reset process (i.e. ERSTeGND), the Link Error Monitor Threshold bit is set to 1 because the Link

Error Monitor Counter is initialized to zero.

D5 RCA RECEIVE CONDITION A: This bit is set to 1 when:

1. One or more bits in the Receive Condition Register A (RCRA) is set to 1 and

2. The corresponding mask bits in the Receive Condition Mask Register A (RCMRA) are also set to 1.

In order to clear (i.e. set to 0) the Receive Condition A bit, the bits within the Receive Condition Register A that are

set to 1 must first be either cleared or masked.

D6 RCB RECEIVE CONDITION B: This bit is set to 1 when:

1. One or more bits in the Receive Condition Register B (RCRB) is set to 1 and

2. The corresponding mask bits in the Receive Condition Mask Register A (RCMRB) are also set to 1.

In order to clear (i.e. set to 0) the Receive Condition B bit, the bits within the Receive Condition Register B that are

set to 1 must first be either cleared or masked.

D7 UDI USER DEFINABLE INTERRUPT: This bit is set to 1 when one or any combination of the Sense Bits (SB0, SB1, or

SB2) in the User Definable Register (UDR) are set to 1.

In order to clear (i.e. set to 0) the User Definable Interrupt Bit, all Sense Bits must be set to 0.

5.5 CURRENT TRANSMIT STATE REGISTER (CTSR)

The Current Transmit State Register can program the Transmitter Block to internally generate and transmit Idle, Master, Halt,

Quiet, or user programmable symbol pairs, in addition to the normal transmission of incoming PHY Request data. The Smoother

and PHY Request Data Parity are also enabled and disabled through this register.

When the Trigger Definition register (TDR) is used, the CTSR can automatically be set to a preprogrammed line state when a

trigger condition occurs. This capability can be used to implement both PCÐReact and CFÐReact.

The Transmit Modes have priority over the Repeat Filter and Smoother outputs. The Injection Symbols have priority over the

Transmit Modes.

During the reset process (i.e. ERSTeGND) the Transmit Mode is set to Off (TMk2:0le010), the Smoother is enabled (i.e. SE

is set to 1), and the Reserved bit (b7) is set to 1. All other bits of this register are cleared (i.e. set to 0) during the reset process.

When the TDR register is used to respond to trigger conditions the CTSR will be blocked when the TDR register transmit mode

is copied into the CTSR. The Write Reject bit of the ICR will be set if any writes are attempted at this time.

Note: This register has no effect while the device is in Stop Mode.

(CTSR), set the frequency at which the contents of the Injection Symbol Register A (ISRA) and Injection Symbol Register B

(ISRB) are inserted into the data stream. It contains the start value for the Injection Counter.

The Injection Threshold Register value is loaded into the Injection Counter when the counter reaches zero or during every

Control Bus Interface write-cycle of this register.

The Injection Counter is an 8-bit down-counter which decrements every 80 ns. It’s current value is read for CIJCR.

The counter is active only during One Shot or Periodic Injection Modes (i.e. Injection Controlk1:0lbits (ICk1:0l)ofthe

Current Transmit State Register (CTSR) are set to either 01 or 10). The Transmitter Block will replace a data symbol pair with

ISRA and ISRB when the counter reaches 0 and the Injection Mode is either One Shot or Periodic.

If the Injection Threshold Register is set to 0 during the One Shot mode, the JK will be replaced with ISRA and ISRB. If the

Injection Threshold Register is set to 0 during the Periodic mode, all data symbols are replaced with ISRA and ISRB.

The counter is initialized to 0 during the reset process (i.e. ERSTeGND).

states. The Noise timer is used to implement the TNE timing requirement of PCM. The Noise timer decrements by one for every

80 x (NPTRa1) ns in case of Noise events. As a result, the internal noise counter takes the following amount of time to reach

zero:

((NPTRa1) x NTR aNPTR) x 80 ns

The threshold values for the Noise Counter and Noise Prescale Counter are simultaneously loaded into both counters if one of

the following conditions is true:

1. Both the Noise Counter and Noise Prescale Counter reach zero and the current Line State is either Noise Line State, Active

Line State, or Line State Unknown.

2. The current Line State is either Halt Line State, Idle Line State, Master Line State, Quiet Line State, or No Signal Detect.

3. The Noise Threshold Register or Noise Prescale Threshold Register goes through a Control Bus Interface write cycle.

In addition, the value of the Noise Prescale Threshold register is loaded into the Noise Prescale Counter if the Noise Prescale

Counter reaches zero.

The Noise Counter and Noise Prescale Counter will continue to count, without resetting or reloading the threshold values, if a

Line State change occurs and the new line state is either Noise Line State, Active Line State, or Line State Unknown.

to reach zero during a continuous line state condition.

The threshold values for the State Timer and State Prescale Timer are simultaneously loaded into both counters if one of the

following conditions is true:

1. Both the State Timer and State Prescale Timer reach zero and the current Line State is Halt Line State, Idle Line State,

Master Line State, Quiet Line State, or No Signal Detect.

2. A line state change occurs and the new Line State is Halt Line State, Idle Line State, Master Line State, Quiet Line State, or

No Signal Detect.

3. The State Threshold Register or State Prescale Threshold Register goes through a Control Bus Interface write cycle.

In addition, the value of the State Prescale Threshold Register is loaded into the State Prescale Counter if the State Prescale

Timer reaches zero.

The State Timer and State Prescale Timer will reset by reloading the threshold values, if a Line State change occurs and the

new Line State is Halt Line State, Idle Line State, Master Line State, Quiet Line State, or No Signal Detect. On detection of ALS,

The Control Bus Interface consists of I/O signals used to connect the PLAYERadevice to Station Management (SMT).

The Control Bus is an asynchronous interface between the PLAYERadevice and a general purpose microprocessor or other

controller. It provides access to 64 8-bit internal registers.

In the PLAYERadevice the Control Bus address range has been expanded by 1-bit to 6 bits of address space.

Symbol Pin ÝI/O Description

ECE 73 I Control Enable: An active-low, TTL, input signal which enables the Control Bus port for a read or write

cycle. R/EW, CBAk5:0l, CBP, and CBDk7:0lmust be valid at the time ECE is low.

LBC4 1

LBC5 100

PHÐSEL 22 I Phase Select: TTL compatible input used to select eithera8nsor16nsphase offset between the 5

local byte clocks (LBC’s). The LBC’s are phase offset 8ns apart when PHÐSEL is at a logic LOW

level and 16 ns apart when at a logic HI level.

FBKÐIN 25 I Feedback Input: TTL compatible input for use as the PLL’s phase comparator feedback input to

close the Phase Locked Loop. This input is intended to be driven from one of the Local Byte Clocks

(LBC’s) from the same PLAYERadevice.

LSC 99 O Local Symbol Clock: TTL compatible 25 MHz output for driving the MACSI or BMAC devices. This

output’s negative phase transition is aligned with the LBC1 output transitions and has a 40% HI and

60% LOW duty cycle.

CLK16 5 O Clock 16/32: TTL compatible clock with a selectable frequency of approximately 15.625 MHz or

31.25 MHz. The frequency can be selected using the Clock Select (CLKSEL) bit of the Mode 2

Note: No glitches appear at the output when switching frequencies.

XTALÐIN 27 I External Crystal Oscillator Input: This input in conjunction with the XTALÐOUT output, is

designed for use of an external crystal oscillator network as the frequency reference for the clock

generation module’s internal VCO. A diagram of the required circuit, which includes only a 12.5 MHz

crystal and 2 loading capacitors, is shown in

Figure 3-19

This input is selected when the REFÐSEL input is at a logic LOW level. When not being used, this

input should be tied to ground.

XTALÐOUT 26 O External Crystal Oscillator Output: This output in conjunction with the XTALÐIN input, is designed

for use of an external crystal oscillator network as the frequency reference for the clock generation

module’s internal VCO. A diagram of the required circuit, which includes only a 12.5 MHz crystal and

2 loading capacitors, is shown in

Figure 3-19

REFÐIN 24 I Reference Input: TTL compatible input for use as the PLL’s phase comparator reference frequency.

This input is for use in dual attach station or concentrator configurations where there are multiple

PLAYERadevices at a given site requiring synchronization.

This input is selected when the REFÐSEL input is at a logic HI level.

REFÐSEL 23 I Reference Select: TTL compatible input which selects either the crystal oscillator inputs XTALÐIN

and XTALÐOUT or the REFÐIN inputs as the reference frequency inputs for the PLL.

The crystal oscillator inputs are selected when REFÐSEL is at a logic LOW level and the REFÐIN

input is selected as the reference when REFÐSEL is at a logic HI level.

LPFLTR 30 O Loop Filter: This is a diagnostic output that allows monitoring of the clock generation module’s filter

node. This output is disabled by default and does not need to be connected to any external device. It

can be enabled using the FLTREN bit of the Clock generation module register (CGMREG).

Note: In normal operation this pin should be disabled.

MISCELLANEOUS INTERFACE

The Miscellaneous Interface consist of a reset signal, user definable sense signals, and user definable enable signals.

Symbol Pin ÝI/O Description

ERST 71 I Reset: An active low, TTL, input signal which clears all registers. The signal must be kept asserted for a

minimum amount of time. Once the ERST signal is asserted, the PLAYERadevice should be allowed

the specified amount of time to reset internal logic. Note that bit zero of the Mode Register will be set to

zero (i.e. Stop Mode). See section 4.2, Stop Mode of Operation for more information

SP0 40 I User Definable Sense Pin 0: A TTL input signal from a user defined source. Sense Bit 0 (SB0) of the

User Definable Register (UDR) will be set to one if the signal is asserted for a minimum of 160 ns. Once

the asserted signal is latched, Sense Bit 0 can only be cleared through the Control Bus Interface, even if

the signal is deasserted. This ensures that the Control Bus Interface will record the source of events

which can cause interrupts.

SP1 42 I User Definable Sense Pin 1: A TTL input signal from a user defined source. Sense Bit 1 (SB1) of the

User Definable Register (UDR) will be set to one if the signal is asserted for a minimum of 160 ns. Once

the asserted signal is latched, Sense Bit 1 can only be cleared through the Control Bus Interface, even if

the signal is deasserted. This ensures that the Control Bus Interface will record the source of events

which can cause interrupts.

EP0 41 O User Definable Enable Pin 0: A TTL output signal allowing control of external logic through the Control

Bus Interface. EP0 is asserted/deasserted through Enable Bit 0 (EB0) of the User Definable Register

(UDR). When Enable Bit 0 is set to zero, EP0 is deasserted. When Enable Bit 0 is set to one, EP0 is

asserted.

EP1 43 O User Definable Enable Pin 1: A TTL output signal allowing control of external logic through the Control

Bus Interface. EP1 is asserted/deasserted through Enable Bit 1 (EB1) of the User Definable Register

(UDR). When Enable Bit 1 is set to zero, EP1 is deasserted. When Enable Bit 1 is set to one, EP1 is

asserted.

PMD INTERFACE

The PMD Interface consists of I/O signals used to connect the PLAYERadevice to the Physical Medium Dependant (PMD)

sublayer.

The DP83256VF-AP PLAYERadevice actually has two PMD interfaces. The Primary PMD Interface and the Alternate PMD

Interface.

The Primary PMD Interface should be used for all PMD implementations that do not require an external scrambler/descrambler

function, clock recovery function, or clock generation function, such as a Fiber Optic or Shielded Twisted Pair (SDDI) PMD. The

second, Alternate PMD Interface can be used to support Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) PMDs that require external scrambling,

with no external clock recovery or clock generation functions required.

Section 3.8 describes how the PLAYERacan be connected to the PMD and how the Alternate PMD can be enabled.

Note that when the Alternate PMD Interface is not being used, the pins that make up the interface must be connected in the

specific way described in the following Alternate PMD Interface table.

For a Pinout Summary List, refer to Table 8-3 and

Figure 8-3

, DP83257VF 160-Pin JEDEC Metric PQFP Pinout.

PMD INTERFACE

The PMD Interface consists of I/O signals used to connect the PLAYERadevice to the Physical Medium Dependant (PMD)

sublayer.

The DP83257 PLAYERadevice actually has two PMD interfaces. The Primary PMD Interface and the Alternate PMD Interface.

The Primary PMD Interface should be used for all PMD implementations that do not require an external scrambler/descrambler

function, clock recovery function, or clock generation function, such as a Fiber Optic or Shielded Twisted Pair (SDDI) PMD. The

second, Alternate PMD Interface can be used to support Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) PMDs that require external scrambling,

with no external clock recovery or clock generation functions required.

Section 3.8 describes how the PLAYERacan be connected to the PMD and how the Alternate PMD can be enabled.

Note that when the Alternate PMD Interface is not being used, the pins that make up the interface must be connected in the

minimum amount of time. Once the ERST signal is asserted, the PLAYERadevice should be allowed

the specified amount of time to reset internal logic. Note that bit zero of the Mode Register will be set to

zero (i.e. Stop Mode). See section 4.2, Stop Mode of Operation for more information

SP0 63 I User Definable Sense Pin 0: A TTL input signal from a user defined source. Sense Bit 0 (SB0) of the

User Definable Register (UDR) will be set to one if the signal is asserted for a minimum of 160 ns. Once

the asserted signal is latched, Sense Bit 0 can only be cleared through the Control Bus Interface, even if

the signal is deasserted. This ensures that the Control Bus Interface will record the source of events

which can cause interrupts.

SP1 65 I User Definable Sense Pin 1: A TTL input signal from a user defined source. Sense Bit 1 (SB1) of the

User Definable Register (UDR) will be set to one if the signal is asserted for a minimum of 160 ns. Once

the asserted signal is latched, Sense Bit 1 can only be cleared through the Control Bus Interface, even if

the signal is deasserted. This ensures that the Control Bus Interface will record the source of events

which can cause interrupts.

SP2 67 I User Definable Sense Pin 2: A TTL input signal from a user defined source. Sense Bit 2 (SB2) of the

User Definable Register (UDR) will be set to one if the signal is asserted for a minimum of 160 ns. Once

the asserted signal is latched, Sense Bit 2 can only be cleared through the Control Bus Interface, even if

the signal is deasserted. This ensures that the Control Bus Interface will record the source of events

which can cause interrupts.

EP0 64 O User Definable Enable Pin 0: A TTL output signal allowing control of external logic through the Control

Bus Interface. EP0 is asserted/deasserted through Enable Bit 0 (EB0) of the User Definable Register

(UDR). When Enable Bit 0 is set to zero, EP0 is deasserted. When Enable Bit 0 is set to one, EP0 is

asserted.

EP1 66 O User Definable Enable Pin 1: A TTL output signal allowing control of external logic through the Control

Bus Interface. EP1 is asserted/deasserted through Enable Bit 1 (EB1) of the User Definable Register

(UDR). When Enable Bit 1 is set to zero, EP1 is deasserted. When Enable Bit 1 is set to one, EP1 is

asserted.

EP2 68 O User Definable Enable Pin 2: A TTL output signal allowing control of external logic through the Control

Bus Interface. EP2 is asserted/deasserted through Enable Bit 2 (EB2) of the User Definable Register

(UDR). When Enable Bit 2 is set to zero, EP2 is deasserted. When Enable Bit 2 is set to one, EP2 is

asserted.

CS 69 I Cascade Start: A TTL input signal used to synchronize cascaded PLAYERadevices in point-to-point

applications.

The signal is asserted when all of the cascaded PLAYERadevices have the Cascade Mode (CM) bit of

the Mode Register (MR) set to one, and all of the Cascade Ready (CR) pins of the cascaded PLAYERa

devices have been released.

When Cascade Mode is not being used, this input should be tied to Ground.

For further information, refer to section 4.4, Cascade Mode of Operation.

CR 70 O Cascade Ready: An Open Drain output signal used to synchronize cascaded PLAYERadevices in

point-to-point applications.

The signal is released (i.e. an Open Drain line is released) when all the cascaded PLAYERadevices

have the Cascade Mode (CM) bit of the Mode Register (MR) is set to one and a JK symbol pair has been

received.

When Cascade Mode is not being used, this input should be left Not Connected (N/C).

For further information, refer to section 4.4, Cascade Mode of Operation.

*Note: The PLAYERadevice has multiple pairs of differential ECL outputs that need to be terminated. The additional current needed for this termination is not

included in the PLAYERa’s total supply current, but can be calculated as follows:

VOHÐmax eVCC b0.88V

VOLÐmax eVCC b1.62V

Since the outputs are differential, the average output level is VCC b1.25V. The test load per output is 50Xat VCC b2V, therefore the external load current

through the 50Xresistor is:

ILOAD e[(VCC b1.25) b(VCC b2)]/50

e0.015A

e15 mA

As a result, the termination for each pair of active ECL outputs typically consumes 30 mA, time averaged.
