    This is enabled by asserting XMIT_REF_A high. When XMIT_REF_A is high, the XMIT_A_CLK becomes the interface clock for all active channels. The configuration settings of the MC92603 affect the legal range of clock frequencies at which it may be operated. Table 5-1 shows legal transmit interface clock frequencies for all modes of operation.

    REPE, should be configured low during a normal transceiver operation. Backplane Application Modes (COMPAT = Low) When the configuration control signal, COMPAT, is low, the MC92603 is in the ‘backplane application mode.’ In this application mode, the MC92603 transmitters accept either uncoded data, where the input data is encoded internally by an 8B/10B encoder, or coded data, where the input data is pre-encoded and the internal encoder is bypassed.
  • Page 33 The 8 bits of uncoded data are entered with the least significant nibble on the rising clock and the most significant nibble on the falling clock edge. NOTE When operating with the reduced data interface the MC92603 input pins, XMIT_x_7–XMIT_x_4, are unused and should be terminated low.

  • Page 34: Transmitting Coded Data-10-/5-Bit Modes

    The XMIT_x_K signal is ignored by the transmitter in the backplane 10-/5-bit modes, but, it is used by the receiver. When using the MC92603 in the backplane applications (COMPAT = low), it is not necessary to use the 8B/10B code set. However, special care must be taken. The data must exhibit the same properties as 8B/10B coded data.

  • Page 35: Ethernet Compliant Applications Modes (Compat = High)

    The MC92603 Gigabit Ethernet transceiver was designed with the intent to meet the requirements of IEEE Std 802.3-2002 [4] for 1000BASE-X PHYs. When the configuration control signal, COMPAT, is high, the MC92603 is in the ‘Ethernet compliant application mode.’ In this application mode, the MC92603 transmitters accept...

  • Page 36: Transmitting Uncoded Data-Gmii Or Rgmii Modes

    This forces the remote device to also enter auto-negotiate mode. The contents of the configuration register are continuously sent until the associated receiver detects the compatible configuration being sent from the link partner. The MC92603 is configured as full-duplex 1-Gigabit; therefore, the configuration is as shown in Figure 2-2.

  • Page 45: Functional Description

    Functional Description Functional Description The MC92603 receiver receives differential data in one of two operating ranges. It may be operated in full rate range with a maximum data rate of 1.0 Gbps (1.25 Gigabaud) or at half-rate at 500 Mbps (0.625 Gigabaud). The operating range is determined by the state of the HSE input and the frequency of the reference clock, see Table 5-1.

  • Page 46: Transition Tracking Loop And Data Recovery

    The input amplifier facilitates a loopback path for production and in-system testing. When the MC92603 is in loopback mode (loopback enable, LBE, is high), the input amplifier selects the loopback differential input signals and ignores the state on the RLINK_x_P and RLINK_x_N signals.

  • Page 47: Half-Speed Mode

    3.3.6 Receiver Redundant Link Operation The MC92603 is configured as a dual channel SerDes with redundant links if the enable redundancy signal, ENAB_RED, is high. Only channels A and B received data interfaces are active in this mode. This data will be received from the appropriate link, as specified by the XCVR_A_RSEL and XCVR_B_RSEL inputs shown in Table 3-2 and Table 3-3.

    3.5.3 Word Synchronization When the MC92603 is configured in either of the ‘aligned backplane’ modes (BSYNC high and COMPAT low), the four receivers can be used cooperatively to receive 32-bit (40-bit if TBIE is high) aligned word transfers. Word alignment is enabled by asserting the word synchronization enable inputs, WSYNC1 or WSYNC0, high.

    The frequency of the receiver clock will be the local reference clock until synchronization is achieved. The RECV_x_RCLK clock signals, however, are not present during power up or when the MC92603 is in reset mode and the PLL is not locked.

  • Page 53: Reference Clock Timing Mode (Rcce = Low)

    8.2 ns. NOTE Devices that interface to a MC92603 and are run in a recovered clock mode, must be able to tolerate this modulated clock. When operating in the recovered clock timing mode, the addition or deletion of IDLEs is inappropriate.
  • Page 54 IDLE bytes when underrun is imminent. This allows the user to establish ‘packets’ of data that do not contain IDLEs and the MC92603 will not insert IDLEs in the middle of these ‘packets.’ The IDLE frequency to prevent underrun is identical to the frequency to prevent overrun, so the same conditions apply.

  • Page 55: Ethernet Compliant Applications Modes (Compat = High)

    Ethernet Compliant Applications Modes (COMPAT = High) The following sections discuss Ethernet compliant applications modes as implemented by the MC92603.

  • Page 59: Rate Adaption Of Ethernet Packet Data Streams

    3.7.2.1 Rate Adaption Method The MC92603 utilizes a FIFO in its receiver to act as an elastic buffer for the receive data interface. The elastic buffer allows for proper operation of the interface in the presence of jitter and frequency offset. However, frequency offset will eventually lead to elastic buffer overrun or underrun.

    /C1/ and /C2/ code group sets. On detection of an imminent overflow, the MC92603 searches for and deletes two /C1/C2/ code group sets, removing a total of 16 code groups from the packet stream. The auto-negotiation function can tolerate missing two complete sets because of its handshaking protocol.

  • Page 61: Data Context

    IPG has at least 12 code groups in length when received. On detection of an imminent underflow, the MC92603 searches for an /I2/ ordered set and repeats an /I2/ in the packet stream, adding a total of two code groups. The packet stream tolerates additional /I2/ ordered sets because maximum IPG length is not limited.

    6.2.1 Loopback System Test Each channel of MC92603 may be individually configured for digital loopback, where the transmitted data is looped back to its receiver independent of the receiver’s link inputs. This is enabled by asserting XCVR_x_LBE (where ‘x’ is channel A through D) high. The code groups transmitted are controlled by the normal transmitter controls.

    BIST Sequence System Test with External Loopback Modes The MC92603’s transmitter has an integrated, 23rd order, pseudo-noise (PN) pattern generator. Stimulus from this generator may be used for system testing. The receiver, has a 23rd order signature analyzer that is synchronized to the incoming PN stream and may be used to count code group mismatch errors relative to the internal PN reference pattern.
