INT5130 Integrated Powerline MAC/PHY Transceiver Technical Data Sheet
AGC Circuitry
The INT5130 receives 10-bit digitized samples from the INT1000 and uses them to adjust the Switched
Gain Amplifier (SGA) gain to maintain optimum signal level at the input of the ADC. The AGC[7:0] control
bus is used to pass a Gain Control Value (GCV) to the SGA. If the AGCENC_N input pin is low, the GCV is
encoded on pins [3:0] of the AGC[7:0] control bus. If the AGCENC_N input pin is high, the GCV is decoded
on pins [7:0] of the AGC[7:0] control bus with pins [7:4] selecting the gain switch setting for the first stage
amplifier and pins [3:0] selecting the gain switch setting for the second stage amplifier.

SPI Master Interface
The SPI Master interface gives the system designer the option of providing the INT5130 with the necessary
configuration information from a simple, SPI-controlled E
2PROM as opposed to supplying this information via
PowerPacket MAC management frames (transmitted over the MII interface). The information stored in the
E
2PROM is intended to initialize the INT5130 with specific information that will not be changed throughout its
normal course of operation. For specific features that require real-time control, such as those features found
within the Set Transmit Characteristics MAC management frame, this information must be provided via the MAC
management frames and not from the E
2PROM.
The E
2PROM must be an Atmel AT93C46 programmed in 8-bit mode, or equivalent.
