7.2.2 Loopback Enable (bit 0.14)
This bit controls the Loopback mode for the ICS1893Y-10. Setting this bit to logic:
• Zero disables the Loopback mode.
• One enables the Loopback mode by disabling the Twisted-Pair Transmitter, the Twisted-Pair Receiver,
and the collision detection circuitry. (The STA can override the ICS1893Y-10 from disabling the collision
detection circuitry in Loopback mode by writing logic one to bit 0.7.) When the ICS1893Y-10 is in
Loopback mode, the data presented at the MAC/repeater transmit interface is internally looped back to
the MAC/repeater receive interface. The delay from the assertion of Transmit Data Enable (TXEN) to the
assertion of Receive Data valid (RXDV) is less than 512 bit times.
7.2.3 Data Rate Select (bit 0.13)
This bit provides a means of controlling the ICS1893Y-10 data rate. Its operation depends on the state of
several other functions, including the HW/SW input pin and the Auto-Negotiation Enable bit (bit 0.12).
When the ICS1893Y-10 is configured for:
• Hardware mode (that is, the HW/SW pin is logic zero), the ICS1893Y-10 isolates this bit 0.13 and uses
the 10/100SEL input pin to establish the data rate for the ICS1893Y-10. In this Hardware mode:
– Bit 0.13 is undefined.
– The ICS1893Y-10 provides a Data Rate Status bit (in the QuickPoll Detailed Status Register, bit
17.15), which always shows the setting of an active link.
• Software mode (that is, the HW/SW pin is logic one), the function of bit 0.13 depends on the
Auto-Negotiation Enable bit 0.12. When the Auto-Negotiation sublayer is:
– Enabled, the ICS1893Y-10 isolates bit 0.13 and relies on the results of the auto-negotiation process
to establish the data rate.
– Disabled, bit 0.13 determines the data rate. In this case, setting bit 0.13 to logic:
• Zero selects 10-Mbps ICS1893Y-10 operations.
• One selects 100-Mbps ICS1893Y-10 operations.
7.2.4 Auto-Negotiation Enable (bit 0.12)
This bit provides a means of controlling the ICS1893Y-10 Auto-Negotiation sublayer. Its operation depends
on the HW/SW input pin.
When the ICS1893Y-10 is configured for:
• Hardware mode, (that is, the HW/SW pin is logic zero), the ICS1893Y-10 isolates bit 0.12 and uses the
ANSEL (Auto-Negotiation Select) input pin to determine whether to enable the Auto-Negotiation
sublayer.
Note: In Hardware mode, bit 0.12 is undefined.
• Software mode, (that is, the HW/SW pin is logic one), bit 0.12 determines whether to enable the
Auto-Negotiation sublayer. When bit 0.12 is logic:
– Zero:
• The ICS1893Y-10 disables the Auto-Negotiation sublayer.
• The ICS1893Y-10 bit 0.13 (the Data Rate bit) and bit 0.8 (the Duplex Mode bit) determine the data
rate and the duplex mode.
– One:
• The ICS1893Y-10 enables the Auto-Negotiation sublayer.
• The ICS1893Y-10 isolates bit 0.13 and bit 0.8.
