ENCSEL 12(9) CMOS In Encode Select Input: The TTL compatible CMOS Encode Select input

controls the encoded state of the signal at the TXO+/- outputs. A logic low

level at this input causes the TXO outputs to become MLT-3 encoded with

the receiver programmed to accept MLT-3 encoded data. This is the

loopback, data present at the RXI+/- inputs is ignored. However, binary

data is still transmitted by the TXO+/- outputs (regardless of the state of the

ENCSEL input). Loopback mode is selected when LBEN is forced high.

Normal operation occurs when LBEN is forced low.

based on signal degradation caused b y the media. The other two lev els are

intended as test modes and are not a guaranteed mode of operation.

Forcing a voltage less than 1.5V, selects full equalization which provides

ﬁx ed equalization for a maxim um length of cable . F orcing a voltage g reater

than 3.0V turns the receive equalizer off.

support the option of external Cable Detection circuitry (wire fault). With

CDET low, the transceiver functions normally. With CDET high, the signal

the PMID outputs are forced to ECL static levels. The exception is in the

case of Loopback when the Signal Detect output is f orced high regardless

of all other conditions. Please refer to the National Semiconductor Com-

3.0 Functional Description

3.1 Overview

The DP83223 transceiver consists of the major functional

blocks shown in the “Block Diagram”. The Transmit sec-

tion consists of an ECL input buffer for PMRD+/- and the

Programmable Current Output Driver. The Programmable

Current Output Driver can be conﬁgured to convert the

incoming binary datastream to a current sourced MLT-3

encoded datastream.

The transmit amplitude of the signal presented at the TXO

output pins can be controlled by v arying the value of resis-

tance between TXREF and GND. This TXREF resister,

RREF, sets up a reference current which determines the

ﬁnal output current at TXO+/- as described by:

The following equation yields the differential peak-peak

transmit voltage for a given characteristic cable imped-

ance:

The transition times at the TXO+/- outputs are of special

interest. These matched rise and fall times are digitally

synthesized to reduce EMI emissions at the media inter-

face and on the media. The controlled transition times

also signiﬁcantly reduce the design complexity and cost

by minimizing external ﬁltering.

The Receive section consists of the following functional

blocks: a differential input Equalization Ampliﬁer with Sig-

nal Detect circuitry, signal Comparators with Control

Logic, Loopback Multiplexer Logic, and differential ECL

output drivers for PMID and Signal Detect.

In adaptive or full equalization mode, as selected by the

EQSEL input pin, the receive data is ﬁrst equalized and

then ampliﬁed for signal detection. If the receive equalizer

is turned off, the data is then only ampliﬁed for signal

detection.

The Comparator and Control Logic Block performs sev-

eral functions. Primarily, the comparators quantize and

convert incoming MLT-3 into binary. The control logic

receives input from CDET and ENCSEL enabling ﬁnal sig-

nal detect indication and control of data conversion/regen-

eration.

The Loopback Mux logic performs the function of routing

the transmit data at the PMRD+/- inputs to either the

PMID+/- pins (loopback enabled) or directly to the TXO+/-

current outputs (normal operation).

Finally, ECL output drivers are used to driv e both PMID+/-

receive data and SD+/- Signal Detect data to the appro-

priate Physical Layer device.

3.2 MLT-3 Encoding

The decision to incorporate MLT-3 (Multi-Level-Transmit /

3 levels) signal encoding into the ANSI X3.263 Twisted

P air Standard is based solely on the issue of Electro-Mag-

netic Compatibility (EMC). Scramb ling the datastream, via

the Stream Cipher function, reduces EMI emissions at ke y

frequencies by approximately 20dB . Although 20dB is sig-

niﬁcant, it may be insufﬁcient to pass the FCC Class B

radiation limit (with margin) f or NRZI signalling at the stan-

dard transmit amplitude of 2.0V. The inclusion of MLT-3

encoding theoretically provides an additional 3dB reduc-

tion in EMI emissions depending on the measurement

technique and system design/layout.

The eff ect of MLT-3 encoding is the reduction of energy on

the media in the critical frequency range of 20MHz to

100MHz. This is achieved by trading line frequency for

line voltage complexity. When a binary data stream is

MLT-3 encoded, the result is a shift, in par t, of some fre-

quency components of the signal.

See Figure 3-1, the second ‘high’ pulse in the binary

waveform is transformed by an inversion to the ‘-1’ level in

the MLT-3 waveform. This inversion corresponds to a cer-

tain decrease in energy from the original binary frequency

component. The decrease in energy at the critical fre-

quency of 62.5MHz is appreciable (3dB to 6dB).

Figure 3-1. Example of Binary vs. MLT-3

The power spectrum plots in Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3

provide a clear comparison between scrambled binary

and scrambled MLT-3 respectively. It should be noted that

FCC Class B limits relate to radiated emissions and not

the direct power spectrum. The plots in Figure 3-2 and

Figure 3-3 are intended strictly for use as a general com-

parison between Binary and MLT-3 and should not be

interpreted as absolute EMI performance indicators.

3.3 Transition Time Control

The DP83223 TWISTER incorporates a unique feature

which vir tually eliminates the need for exter nal ﬁltering of

the transmitted signal. The transition times of the TXO

output signals are digitally synthesized resulting in closely

matched and controlled rise and fall times (Refer to Fig-

ure 3-4). These controlled transition times, in conjunction

with the associated magnetics, result in typical rise and

fall times of greater than 3ns. These transition times lie

within the range speciﬁed in the X3.263 Twisted Pair PMD

standard.

Figure 3-4. Controlled TXO Transitions

3.4 Adaptive Equalization

When transmitting data at high speeds over copper

twisted pair cable, frequency dependent attenuation

becomes a concern. In Twisted Pair Fast Ethernet or

FDDI signalling the frequency content of the transmitted

signal can vary greatly during normal operation based pri-

marily on the randomness of the scrambled data stream.

This variation in signal attenuation caused by frequency

variations must be compensated for to ensure the integrity

of the transmission.

In order to ensure quality transmission when employing

MLT-3 encoding, the compensation must be able to adapt

to various cab le lengths and cable types depending on the

installed environment. In a ﬁxed equalization system, the

selection of long cable lengths for a giv en implementation,

requires signiﬁcant compensation which will over-com-

pensate f or shorter , lo wer attenuation lengths . Con versely,

the selection of short or intermediate cable lengths requir-

ing less compensation will cause serious under-compen-

sation for longer length cables. Therefore, the

compensation (equalization) must be adaptive to ensure

proper conditioning of the received signal independent of

cable length.

The combination of choosing MLT-3 as the signal encod-

ing scheme, in conjunction with a requirement f or adaptiv e

equalization, demands that compensation occur at the

receive end of the tr ansmission network. In order to imple-

ment receiver adaptive equalization, a known relationship

between transmit output amplitude and a receive input

reference must be speciﬁed and controlled. Nominal

transmit output amplitude, as speciﬁed by the ANSI

X3.263 TP-PMD document, is 2.0V peak to peak differen-

tial. The DP83223 TWISTER incorporates a ﬁxed nominal

receive input reference. Given these two parameters, the

adaptive equalization can determine the approximate

cable length via signal attenuation at certain frequencies

and actively compensate for cable length variations.

Since the DP83223 TWISTER transceiver’s receive input

reference is ﬁxed at approximately 1.45V and the transmit

amplitude is ﬁxed at 2.0V, an attenuation factor is

required. This attenuation is accomplished by a simple

resistive voltage divider placed at the RXI+/- inputs, which

also serves as the forward termination for the transmis-

sion line (Refer to Figure 4-3). Because the voltage

divider attenuates any noise along with the received sig-

nal, the Signal-to-Noise ratio is not decreased. An addi-

tional beneﬁt is gained by including the voltage divider,

where any insertion loss caused by the media coupling

magnetics can be compensated for by adjusting the volt-

age divider ratio. This will ensure appropriate signal trans-

fer and optimal adaptive equalization.

For additional information regarding the interdependen-

cies between the adaptive equalizer and the receive

attenuation/termination circuit, refer to the NSC applica-

tion note entitled “DP83223 Adaptive Equalizer Consider-

ations”.

3.5 Jitter Performance

This section brieﬂy presents the typical jitter performance

exhibited by the DP83223 TWISTER transceiver. The

DP83223 TWISTER was subjected to the near worst-

case condition of 110 Meters of Category 5 cable con-

nected to two lengths of 10Meter cable via two 110

punchdown blocks (totalling 130 Meters). The DP83223

resulting from the combination of the transmitter, cable

plant, and receiver is only 1.9ns Pk-Pk (MLT-3, room

temp., nominal Vcc) as illustrated in Figure 3-5. Because

the maximum eye opening is 8ns, The DP83223 has little

Note 2:It is recommended that the CDET control input be tied directly to Vcc or GND to ensure proper operation. If CDET is to be driven from a gate, it is

recommended that the gate be capable of true CMOS logic levels.

Note 3:The median voltage level for EQSEL is normally accomplished by floating that pin.

Note 4:ICC is a measure of total device current in normal MLT-3 mode with a 125Mb/s random data pattern applied to the PMRD+/- inputs to allow the

4.1 TRANSMIT TIMING

Note: TXO Output Rise and Fall time is a measure of the transition time for all MLT-3 transitions from 10% to 90%. This measurement is conducted directly

at the TXO+/- outputs and does not include the additional bandwidth limiting effects of an isolation transformer. Each of the four possible MLT-3 transitions

is measured (see figure 2 for MLT-3 waveform example). The TXO+/- outputs are configured to switch at a nominal 2V pk-pk differential amplitude into a

standard 50Ω differential load. Device configuration: LBEN=0, CDET=0, ENCSEL=0, EQSEL=float, PMRD+/-=125Mb/s data, RXI+/-=static.

Note: : tTXr/fsym TXO Rise and Fall Symmetry is the difference between the maximum and minimum of all rise and fall times. Device configuration: LBEN=0,

CDET=0, ENCSEL=0, EQSEL=float, PMRD+/-=125Mb/s data, RXI+/-=static.

Note: : The Transmit channel propagation delay is a measure of the time delay imposed on the transmit data as it passes from the PMRD+/- inputs to the

TXO+/- outputs. Device configuration: LBEN=0, CDET=0, ENCSEL=0, EQSEL=float, PMRD+/-=125Mb/s data, RXI+/-=static.

Note: Transmit Jitter is a measure of the total jitter as measured differentially across the TXO+/- outputs of the device. This includes the cumulative effect

of Duty Cycle Distortion (DCD), Data Dependent Jitter (DDJ), and Random Jitter (RJ). Device configuration: LBEN=0, CDET=0, ENCSEL=0, EQSEL=float,

4.2 RECEIVE PROPAGATION DELAY

Note: The Receive channel propagation delay is a measure of the time delay imposed on the receive data as it passes from the RXI+/- inputs to the PMID+/-

4.3 LOOPBACK PROPAGATION DELAY

4.4 SIGNAL DETECT TIMING

Note: The Signal Detect Assert Time is a measure of the time required for Signal Detect to assert after the RXI+/- inputs are provided with a receive signal

with sufficient amplitude to meet the Signal Detect Assert Threshold parameter. Device configuration: LBEN=0, CDET=0, ENCSEL=0, EQSEL=float, PM-

RD+/-=static, RXI+/-=125Mb/s data with amplitude greater than 700mV pk-pk differential.

Note: The Signal Detect De-assert Time is a measure of the time required for Signal Detect to deassert after the RXI+/- inputs are provided with a receive

signal with sufficient amplitude to meet the Signal Detect Deassert Threshold parameter. Device configuration: LBEN=0, CDET=0, ENCSEL=0,

EQSEL=float, PMRD+/-=static, RXI+/-=125Mb/s data with amplitude less than 200mV pk-pk differential.

4.5 ADAPTIVE EQUALIZER TIMING

Note: Total Receive Jitter is a measure of the total accumulated jitter as measured differentially across the PMID+/- receive outputs of the device. This pa-

rameter is guaranteed by an ATE adaptive equalizer jitter measurement (done at worst case conditions) and a system level characterization over temperature

and Vcc. The ATE measurement has been empirically correlated with the system level jitter measurement, which includes all transmit jitter (as described in

T1.3) as well as all jitter induced by a worst case Cat-5 cable plant and the additional Jitter induced by the receive operation of the device. Device configu-

ration: LBEN=0, CDET=0, ENCSEL=0, EQSEL=float, PMRD+/-=125Mb/s data, RXI+/-=125Mb/s data.
