APPLICATION INFORMATION

It is strongly recommended that part of the verification process for the design be to measure the frequency of

the PCLK output of the PHY. This should be done with a frequency counter with an accuracy of 6 digits or better.

If the PCLK frequency is more than the crystal’s tolerance from 49.152 MHz or 98.304 MHz, then the load

capacitance of the crystal may be varied to improve frequency accuracy. If the frequency is too high, add more

load capacitance; if the frequency is too low, decrease load capacitance. Typically, changes must be done to

both load capacitors (C9 and C10 above) at the same time, and both must be of the same value. Additional

design details and requirements may be provided by the crystal vendor.

bus reset

It is recommended, that whenever the user has a choice, the user should initiate a bus reset by writing to the

initiate short bus reset (ISBR) bit (bit 1 PHY register 0101b). Care must be taken to not change the value of any

of the other writeable bits in this register when the ISBR bit is written to.

In the TSB41BA3, the initiate bus reset (IBR) bit may be set to 1 in order to initiate a bus reset and initialization

sequence, however, it is recommended to use the ISBR bit instead. The IBR bit is located in PHY register 1 along

with the root-holdoff (RHB) bit and gap-count register. As required by the 1394b Supplement this configuration

maintains compatibility with older TI PHY designs which were based upon either the suggested register set

defined in Annex J of IEEE Std 1394-1995 or the 1394a-2000 Supplement. Therefore, whenever the IBR bit

is written, the RHB bit and gap-count are also necessarily written.

It is recommended that the RHB bit and gap-count only be updated by PHY configuration packets. The

TSB41BA3 is 1394a and 1394b compliant, and therefore both the reception and transmission of PHY

configuration packets cause the RHB and gap-count to be loaded, unlike older IEEE Std 1394-1995 compliant

PHYs which decode only received PHY configuration packets.

The gap-count is set to the maximum value of 63 after two consecutive bus resets without an intervening write

to the gap-count, either by a write to PHY register 1 or by a PHY configuration packet. This mechanism allows

a PHY configuration packet to be transmitted and then a bus reset to be initiated so as to verify that all nodes

on the bus have updated their RHB bits and gap-count values, without having the gap-count set back to 63 by

the bus reset. The subsequent connection of a new node to the bus, which initiates a bus reset, then causes

the gap-count of each node to be set to 63. Note, however, that if a subsequent bus reset is instead initiated

by a write to register 1 to set the IBR bit, then all other nodes on the bus have their gap-count values set to 63,

while this node’s gap-count remains set to the value just loaded by the write to PHY register 1.

Therefore, in order to maintain consistent gap-counts throughout the bus, the following rules apply to the use

of the IBR bit, RHB bit, and gap-count in PHY register 1:

D Following the transmission of a PHY configuration packet, a bus reset must be initiated in order to verify

that all nodes have correctly updated their RHB bits and gap-count values, and to ensure that a subsequent

new connection to the bus causes the gap-count to be set to 63 on all nodes in the bus. If this bus reset is

initiated by setting the IBR bit to 1, then the RHB bit and gap-count register must also be loaded with the

correct values consistent with the just transmitted PHY configuration packet. In the TSB41BA3, the RHB

bit and gap-count have been updated to their correct values upon the transmission of the PHY configuration

packet, and so these values may first be read from register 1 and then rewritten.

D Other than to initiate the bus reset which must follow the transmission of a PHY configuration packet,

whenever the IBR bit is set to 1 in order to initiate a bus reset, the gap-count value must also be set to 63

so as to be consistent with other nodes on the bus, and the RHB bit must be maintained with its current value.

D The PHY register 1 must not be written to except to set the IBR bit. The RHB bit and gap-count must not

be written without also setting the IBR bit to 1.
