82503
TPE extended squelch mode is enabled by present-
ing a high-impedance (l100 KX) at the APOL XSQ
pin This can be done by floating the APOL XSQ pin
tying APOL XSQ low through a 100 KX resistor or
driving APOL XSQ with a three-state buffer When
driven high or low using a TTL driver or a low imped-
ance pull-up or pull-down (k2 KX) extended
squelch is disabled and the driven level at the
APOL XSQ pin determines the state of the polarity-
correction function (APOL XSQ e 1 enables polari-
ty correction APOL XSQ e 0 disables polarity cor-
rection) The TPE extended squelch feature is trans-
parent to previous steppings of the 82503 Polarity
correction is always enabled when the TPE extend-
ed-squelch feature is enabled (APOL XSQ e Z)
The APOL XSQ pin senses a high-impedance state
by an active-polling circuit implemented at the pin
Two small polling devices attempt to pull the APOL
XSQ pin up to VCC and down to VSS If the pin is in a
high-impedance state the devices will be successful
in pulling the APOL XSQ pin high and low If the pin
is driven high or low the polling devices will not be
able to successfully pull the pin in the opposite di-
rection In this way an internal state machine can
correctly determine one of three states of the
APOL XSQ pin The pin is polled every 25 6 ms
3 4 Collision Detection
3 4 1 AUI COLLISION DETECTION
Collision detection in the AUI mode is performed by
the attached transceiver and signalled to the 82503
on the CLSN pair A 10 MHz a25% or b15%
square wave with transition times between 35 ns
and 70 ns indicates the collision The 82503 reports
this to the LAN controller on the CDT pin
3 4 2 TPE COLLISION DETECTION
Collision detection in the TPE mode is indicated by
simultaneous transmission and reception on the
twisted pair link segment The CDT signal is assert-
ed for the duration of both RTS and the presence of
received data CRS is asserted for the duration of
either RTS or the presence of received data During
a collision the source of RxD will be the received
data If the received data stream ends before the
transmit data stream the RxD source will be
changed to transmit data stream until it ends
3 5 Link Integrity
The 82503 supports the link integrity function as de-
fined by 10BASE-T During long periods of idle on
the transmitter link test pulses will be transmitted on
to the twisted pair medium as an indication to the
remote MAU that the link is good These pulses will
be transmitted 8 ms to 24 ms after the end of the
last transmission or link test pulse
The link integrity function continuously monitors ac-
tivity on the receive circuit If neither valid data nor
link test pulses are received the link integrity proc-
essor declares the link bad and disables transmis-
sion and reception on the media loopback and the
SQE test function Transmission of link test pulses
and monitoring receive activity are not affected The
idle time required for the link integrity processor to
determine the link is bad is 50 ms to 150 ms
Once a frame or a sequence of 2 to 10 valid consec-
utive link test pulses are detected the Link Integrity
Processor declares the link is good and reconnects
the transmitter and receiver
The link integrity function can be disabled by driving
the LID pin high or by disabling automatic port selec-
tion (APORT e 0) and selecting the AUI port This
option is intended primarily for use with pre-
10BASE-T networks
3 6 Jabber Function
The 82503 contains a jabber timer to implement the
jabber function If a transmission continues beyond
the limits specified the jabber function inhibits fur-
ther transmission and asserts the collision indicator
CDT The limits for jabber transmission are 20 ms to
150 ms in TPE Mode and 8 ms to 16 ms in AUI
mode For both AUI and TPE mode the transmis-
sion inhibit period extends until the 82503 detects
sufficient idle time (between 250 ms and 750 ns) on
the RTS signal The jabber function can be disabled
by driving the JABD high
In TPE mode the link integrity function continues to
operate even if the jabber function is inhibiting trans-
mission Link test pulses continue to be sent and the
receive circuit continues to be monitored Additional-
ly the link integrity function reconnects to a restored
link without waiting for the transmit input to go idle
when the jabber function is inhibiting transmission
3 7 TPE Loopback
In TPE mode the 82503 implements the transmit to
receive loopback (DO to DI) mode specified in the
10BASE-T standard This mode loops back transmit-
ted data through the receive path
This function is required to maintain full compatibility
with coax MAUs where the data loopback is a natu-
ral result of the architecture
