General Description
The DM9301 is a physic al-layer, single-chip, low-
power media converter for 100BASE-TX/FX full
duplex repeater applications. On the TX medi a side,
it provides a dire ct interface to Unshielded Twisted
Pair Cable 5 (UTP5) for 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet.
On the FX medi a side, it provi des a direct interface to
a Pseudo Emitter Coupled Logic level interface
(PECL).
The DM9301 uses a low power and high
performance CMOS process. It contains the entire
physic al layer functions of 100BASE-TX as defi ned
by IEEE802.3u, including the Physical Coding
Sublayer (PCS), Physical Medium Attachment
(PMA), Twisted Pair Physical Medium Dependent
Sublayer (TP-PMD) and a PECL compliant interface
for a fiber opti c modul e, c om pliant with ANSI X3.166.
The DM9301 provides two independent clock
recover y circ ui ts to minimi ze bit delay thr ough the
converter (no FIFO are used to buffer data between
the FX and TX interfaces). Furthermore, due to the
excellent rise/fall time control by a built-in w ave-
shaping filter, the DM9301 needs no external filter to
transport signals to the media on the 100Base-TX
interface.

Functional Description
The DM9301 Fast Ethernet single-chip TX/FX media
converter, provides the functionality as s pecified in
IEEE802 .3, integra tes the co mp lete 100BASE -TX and a
PE CL op ti c mo d ule i nte rfac e for 100Base-FX. The
DM9301 implements the PCS, PMA, and TP-PMD
sublayer functions, as de fined by specification. The te rm
“X” will be used to describe the sections used in the fiber
PHY layer interface. The term “X” w ill be us ed to de scribe
the sections used in the twisted-pair PMD layer interface.
100BASE-FX to TX Operation
The block diagra m in figure 1 provides an o verview o f the
functional blocks contained in the FX to TX media
con ver ter in ter fa ce .
The FX to TX interface includes the following functional
blocks:
FX PECL Receiver
FX Receiver Clock Recovery Module
FX NRZI to N RZ Converter
FX Ser ial to Pa ra lle l Con ver te r
FX Code Group Alignment Monitor
TX Scrambler
TX Para lle l to Ser ia l Con ver te r
TX NRZ to N R ZI C on ver ter
TX NRZI to MLT-3 Converter
TX MLT-3 Driver
FX PECL Receiver
The PECL receiver receives NRZI encoded, differential
Pseudo Emitter Coupled Logic level signal. The receiver
converts the receive signal into a single-ended NRZI
signal and p resents this signa l to the FX C lock Recovery
Module.
FX Receiver Clock Recovery M odule
The FX Cloc k Recovery Module accepts NRZI data from
the PECL receiver. The FX C lock Recovery Module locks
onto the data stream, using a Phase Lock Loop (PLL) and
extracts the 125Mh z reference cloc k. The extracted and
synchronized clock and data are presented to the FX
NRZI to NRZ Decoder.
FX NRZI to NRZ C onverter
The receive data stream is required to be NR ZI encoded
for co mpatibility w ith the standards for 100Base- FX. This
conversion process must be reversed on the tr ansmit end.
The FX NRZ I to NRZ decoder, receives the NRZ I
data stream from the FX Clock Reco very Module
and con verts it to a N RZ data stream to be
presented to the FX Serial to Parallel conversion
block.

FX Se ria l to P arallel Con ver ter
The Serial to Parallel converter receives a serial
data stream from the NRZI to NRZ converter, and
converts the data str eam to parallel data to be
presented to the scrambler. The parallel data format
presented to the TX scrambler is 5B coded.
FX Code Group Alignment Monitor
The FX Code Group Alignment block receives non-
ali gned 5B data from the FX Serial to Paral lel
converter and monitors it for 5B code group
v i olations. FX Code Group Alignment occur s after
the J/K is detected, and subsequent data is
mon itored on a fixed boundary. I f a v iolation is
detected, the FX Code Gr oup Alignment Monit or
block signals the error t o the Link Status Monit or
block. In turn, the Link Status Monitor block flashes
the FX error LED (FXERRLED#).
TX Scrambler
The scrambler also receives data from the FX Serial
to Paralle l converter. Data from the serial to parallel
conversion block is 5B symbol encoded. The
scrambl er i s required to control the radiated
emissions (EMI ) by spreadi ng the tr ansmit energy
across the frequency spectrum at the media
connector and on the twisted pair cable in 100Base-
TX tr ansmit oper ation.
By scramb ling the data, the total energy presented
to the cable is randomly distributed over a wide
frequency range. Without the scrambler , energy
levels on the cable could peak beyond FCC
limitations at frequencies related to repeated 5B
sequences l ike conti nuous transmission of IDLE
symbols. The scrambler output is combined with the
NRZ 5B data from the FX Seria l to Parallel
conv erter via an XOR logic function. The result is a
scra mbled dat a stream with sufficient randomization
to decrease radiated emissions at critical
frequencies.
TX Parallel to Serial Converter
The TX Parallel to Serial conv erter receives parallel
5B scrambled data from the scrambler and
serializes i t (converts it from a parallel to a s erial
data stream). The serialized data stre am is then
presented to the NRZ to NRZI converter block
TX NRZ to NRZI Converter
After t he tr ansmit data str eam has been scrambl ed
and serialized, the data must be NRZI encoded for
compatib ility with the TP-PMD standard for
100Base-TX transmission over Category- 5
unshielded twisted pair cable.
TX MLT-3 Converter
The MLT-3 conversion is accomplished by
con verting the data stream output from the NRZI
encoder into two binary data streams with
alternately phased logic one events.
TX MLT-3 Driver
The two binary data streams created at the MLT-3
converter are fed to the twisted pair output driver
which converts these s treams to current sources
and alternately drives either side of the transmit
transformer primary winding resulting in a minimal
curr ent MLT-3 signal .

mandated by the ANSI XT12 TP-PMD100Base-TX
standards for both voltage thresholds and timing
parameters.
TX D igit al A dap tive Eq ualiz at ion
When transmitting data at high speeds over copper
twisted pair cable, attenuation based on frequency
becomes a concern. In high speed twisted pair signaling,
the frequency content of the tran smit te d signal can vary
greatly during normal operation based on the randomness
of th e s c ramb le d d at a st ream . T his va ri a tion in si gnal
attenuation caused by frequency variations must be
compensated for to ensure the integrity of the received
data. In order to ensure quality transmiss ion when
employing MLT-3 encoding, the compensation must be
able to adapt to various cable lengths and ca ble types
depending on the installed environment. The selection of
long cable lengths for a given implementation, requires
significant compensation which will be over-kill in a
situation that includes s horter, less attenuating cable
lengths. Conversely, the s election o f short or intermediate
cable lengths requiring less compensation will cause
serious under-compensation for longer leng th cables.

There fore, the compensation or equali z ation m ust be
adaptive to ensure proper con ditio ni n g of t he re ceiv ed
signal independent of the ca ble le ngth.
TX ML T-3 to NR ZI De co der
The DM9301 decodes the MLT-3 information from the TX
Digital Adaptive Equalizer into NRZ I da ta.
TX Clock Recovery Module
The TX Clock Recovery Module accepts NRZI data
from the MLT-3 to NRZI decoder. The TX Clock
Recovery Module locks onto the data stream and
ex tr ac ts the 125Mhz refer enc e clock . The ext r ac ted
and synchronized clock and data are presented to
the NRZI to NRZ Decoder.
TX NRZI to NRZ Decoder
The TX tr ansmit data st r eam is required to be NRZI
encoded in for compatibility with the TP-PMD
standard for 100Base-TX transmission over
Category-5 unshielded twi sted pair cable. This
conversion process mu st be reversed on the
receive end. The NRZI to NRZ decoder, receives
the NRZI data stream from the TX Clock Recovery
Module and converts it to a NRZ data stream to be
presented to the TX Serial to Parallel conversion
block.
TX Serial to Parallel Co nv er te r
The TX Serial to Parallel c onv er ter receives a serial
data stream fro m the TX NRZI to NRZ d e c oder, a n d
converts the data str eam to parallel data to be
presented to the TX descrambler. The parallel data
format presented to the TX descrambler is 5B
coded.
TX Code Group Monitor
The TX Code Group Alignment block receives non-
ali gned 5B data from the TX descra mbler and
m oni tors it for 5B code gr oup violations. TX Code
Group Alignment occurs aft er t he J/K i s detec ted,
and subsequent data is monitored on a fixed
boundary. If a violation is detec ted, t he TX Code
Group Monit or block signal s the error to the L ink
Status Moni tor block. In turn, the Link Statu s
Monitor bl oc k flashes the TX error LED
(TXERRLED#).
TX Descrambl er
Because of the scrambling process required to
control the radiated emissions of transmit data
streams, the receiver must de scram ble the receive
data streams. The TX Descrambler rec eives
scrambled parallel dat a stream s from the Serial to
Parallel converter, des crambles the data streams,
and presents the data streams to the Code Group
alignment block.
FX Parallel to Serial Converter
The FX Parallel to Serial Converter receives parallel
5B data from the TX de-scrambler and serializes it
(converts i t f r om a parallel to a serial data st ream).
The serialized data stream is then presented to the
FX NRZ t o NRZI Encoder block
FX NRZ to NRZI Encoder
After t he tr ansmit data str eam has been serialized,
the data must be NRZI encoded for compatibility
with the standard for 100Base-FX.
Link Monitor a nd LED Driver
The Link Monitor block monitors both the TX and
FX interfaces for l ink active, receive data and erring
5-bit str eam.
The Link Monitor has the ability to detect each
interfaces l ink status. The TX wi ll tr ansmit either an
Idle symbol or a Ha lt symbol if the FX link is not
establ ished. Conversely the FX will transmit either
an Idle sym bol or a Hal t symbol if t he TX li nk i s not
established. When an o Link” conditio n e xi sts, th e
interface pin called LTNOLNK” will c ause Halt
symbols to be transmitted instead of Idle symbols.
Th e link ac tive LED i s a static indication of the TX
and FX links. It will be true to indicate the presence
of a link. The receive data and error LED are
generated through a ne-Shot” so that even the
smallest rec eive or error conditi on will be indic ated.
