2.0 Pin Descriptions

2.1 Physical Layer Interface

Signal Name Type

Active

Description

RXD[3:0]

—

Receive Data: Nibble data inputs from each Physical layer chip. Up to 12 ports are sup-

ported.

Note: Input buffer has a weak pull-up.

RXE[11:0]

O, L

high (low) Receive Enable: Asserted to the respective Physical Layer chip to enable its Receive

Data. These pins are either active high or active low depending on the polarity of RSM3

pin as shown below:

RXE[11:0]

RSM3

Active High

Unconnected or pulled high

Active Low

Pulled down

RX_DV

high

Receive Data Valid: Asserted High when valid data is present on RXD[3:0].

Note: To ensure that during idle, when 100PHYs TRI-STATE®, this signal is NOT inter-

preted as “logic one” by the repeater, a 1k

Ω pull down resistor must be placed on this

pin. The location on this pull down should be between the repeater and the nearest tri-

stateable component to the repeater.

RX_ER

high

Receive Error: The physical Layer asserts this signal high when it detects receive error.

When this signal is asserted, the 100PHY (TX or T4) device indicates the type of error

on RXD[3:0] as shown below. Note that this data is passed only to the Inter Repeater

Bus, and not onto the TX Bus:

10Mb Link Detected

1 The 100PHY must be configured with the Elasticity Buffer bypassed; hence this error

code will never be generated.

2 These error codes will only appear when CRS from the 100PHY is not asserted. Since

the DP83850C only enables a 100PHY when its CRS is asserted, these error codes will

never be passed through the chip.

Note: Input buffer has a weak pull-down.

RXC

—

Receive Clock: Recovered clock from the Physical Layer device. RXD, RX_DV, and

RX_ER are generated from the falling edge of this clock.

Note: Input buffer has a weak pull-down.

CRS[11:0]

high

Carrier Sense: Asynchronous carrier indication from the Physical Layer device.

TXE[11:0]

O, L

high

Transmit Enable: Enables corresponding port for transmitting data.

TX_RDY

O, L

high

Transmit Ready: Indicates when a transmit is in progress. Essentially, this signal is the

logical 'OR' of all TXEs.

TX_ER

O, M

high

Transmit Error: Asserted high when a code violation is requested to be transmitted.

TXD[3:0]

O, H

high

Transmit Data: Nibble data output to be transmitted by each Physical Layer device.

Note: A table showing pin type designation is given in section 2.5
