TSB41BA3

IEEE 1394b THREEPORT CABLE TRANSCEIVER/ARBITER

SLLS155A − MAY 2003 − REVISED OCTOBER 2003

POST OFFICE BOX 655303

• DALLAS, TEXAS 75265

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION (1394B INTERFACE)

The TSB41BA3 normally controls the CTL0−CTL1 and D0−D7 bidirectional buses. The LLC is allowed to drive

these buses only after the LLC has been granted permission to do so by the PHY.

There are four operations that may occur on the PHY-LLC interface: link service request, status transfer, data

transmit, and data receive. The LLC issues a service request to read or write a PHY register or to request the

PHY to gain control of the serial-bus in order to transmit a packet.

The PHY may initiate a status transfer either autonomously or in response to a register read request from the

LLC.

The PHY initiates a receive operation whenever a packet is received from the serial-bus.

The PHY initiates a transmit operation after winning control of the serial-bus following a bus-request by the LLC.

The transmit operation is initiated when the PHY grants control of the interface to the LLC.

Table 23 and Table 24 show the encoding of the CTL0−CTL1 bus.

NAME

DESCRIPTION

Idle

No activity (this is the default mode)

Status

Status information is being sent from the PHY to the LLC.

Receive

An incoming packet is being sent from the PHY to the LLC.

Grant

The LLC has been given control of the bus to send an outgoing packet.

NAME

DESCRIPTION

Idle

The LLC releases the bus (transmission has been completed).

Transmit

An outgoing packet is being sent from the LLC to the PHY.

Reserved

Hold/More

Information

The LLC is holding the bus while data is being prepared for transmission, or the LLC is sending a request to

arbitrate for access to the bus, or the LLC is identifying the end of a subaction gap to the PHY.

LLC service request

To request access to the bus, to read or write a PHY register, or to send a link notification to PHY, the LLC sends

a serial bit stream on the LREQ terminal as shown in Figure 23.

Each cell represents one clock sample time, and n is the number of bits in the request stream.

Figure 23. LREQ Request Stream

The length of the stream varies depending on the type of request as shown in Table 25.
