Figure 7.3 TX/10BT Frame Format
On the transmit side for 100Mbps TX operation, data is received on the controller and then sent to the
4B5B encoder for formatting. The encoded data is then sent to the scrambler. The scrambled and
encoded data is then sent to the TP transmitter. The TP transmitter converts the encoded and
scrambled data into MLT-3 ternary format, reshapes the output, and drives the twisted pair cable.
On the receive side for 100Mbps TX operation, the twisted pair receiver receives incoming encoded
and scrambled MLT-3 data from the twisted pair cable, remove any high frequency noise, equalizes
the input signal to compensate for the effects of the cable, qualifies the data with a squelch algorithm,
and converts the data from MLT-3 coded twisted pair levels to internal digital levels. The output of the
twisted pair receiver then goes to a clock and data recovery block which recovers a clock from the
incoming data, uses the clock to latch in valid data into the device, and converts the data back to NRZ
format. The NRZ data is then unscrambled and decoded by the 4B5B decoder and descrambler,
respectively, and outputted to the Ethernet controller.
10Mbps operation is similar to the 100Mbps TX operation except, (1) there is no
scrambler/descrambler, (2) the encoder/decoder is Manchester instead of 4B5B, (3) the data rate is
10Mbps instead of 100Mbps, and (4) the twisted pair symbol data is two level Manchester instead of
ternary MLT-3.
The Management Interface, (hereafter referred to as the MI serial port), is a two pin bi-directional link
through which configuration inputs can be set and status outputs can be read. Each block plus the
operating modes are described in more detail in the following sections.
