description
The SN75ALS085 is a high-speed, advanced low-power Schottky, dual-channel driver/receiver device
designed for use in the AUI of ANSI/IEEE Std 802.3-1988. The two drivers on the device drive a 78-Ω balanced,
terminated twisted-pair transmission line up to a maximum length of 50 meters. In the off (idle) state, the drivers
maintain minimal differential output voltage on the twisted-pair line and, at the same time, remain within the
required output common-mode range.
With the driver enable (TXEN) high, upon receiving the first falling edge into the driver input, the differential
outputs rise to full-amplitude output levels within 25 ns. The output amplitude is maintained for the remainder
of the packet. After the last positive packet edge is transmitted into the driver, the driver maintains a minimum
of 70% full differential output for a minimum of 200 ns, then decays to a minimum level for the reset (idle)
condition within 8 µs. Disabling the driver by taking the driver enable low also forces the output into the idle
condition after the normal 8-µs timeout. While operating, the drivers are able to withstand a set of fault conditions
and not suffer damage due to the faults being applied. The drivers power up in the idle state to ensure that no
activity is placed on the twisted-pair cable, which could be interpreted as network traffic.
The line receiver squelch function interfaces to a differential twisted-pair line terminated external to the device.
The receiver squelch circuit allows differential receive signals to pass through, as long as the input amplitude
and pulse duration are greater than the minimum squelch threshold. This ensures a good signal-to-noise ratio
while the data path is active and prevents system noise from causing false data transitions during line shutdown
and line-idle conditions. The receiver outputs (RXO) default to a high level and the receiver-enable (RXEN)
outputs default to a low level while the squelch function is blocking the data path through the receiver (idle). The
line receiver squelch becomes active within 50 ns when the input squelch threshold is exceeded. RXEN is driven
high when the squelch circuit allows data to pass through the receiver. The receiver squelch circuit also can
withstand a set of fault conditions while operating, without causing permanent damage to the device.
