Kumeran interface. The PHY_PWR_GOOD signal indicates that stable power is available for all voltage rails that power the 82563EB/82564EB and that the device is ready to come out of an otherwise held reset. Typically, this connects to the system’s RSM_RST# signal.

3.1.1 Clock Source All designs require a 25 MHz clock source. The 82563EB/82564EB Gigabit Ethernet Platform LAN Connect uses the 25 MHz source to generate clocks up to 125 MHz and 1.25 GHz for the PHY circuits, and 1.25 GHz for the Kumeran interface. For optimum results with lowest cost, connect a 25 MHz parallel resonant crystal and appropriate load capacitors at the XTAL1 and XTAL2 leads.
82563EB/82564EB LAN on Motherboard Design Guide The steps involved in magnetics module qualification are similar to those for crystal qualification: 1. Verify that the vendor’s published specifications in the component datasheet meet or exceed the required IEEE specifications. 2. Independently measure the component’s electrical parameters on the test bench, checking samples from multiple lots.
Powering Down the 82563EB/82564EB Gigabit Ethernet Platform LAN Connect The 82563EB/82564EB device has a signal named PHY_SLEEP that can be used as an alternative to an in-band event for powering down the Ethernet PHY functions driven only by the 631xESB/ 632xESB.
The design may require two external PNP transistors, one for 1.9V and the other for 1.2V generation, if both voltages are going to be regulated by the 82563EB/82564EB. The beta for the PNP transistors must be 100 or better. For the 82563EB only (not applicable to 82564EB single...
The 82563EB/82564EB core voltage (1.2V) cannot exceed the 3.3V supply by more than 0.5V at any time during the power up. The 82563EB core voltage (1.2V) can not exceed the 1.9V supply by more than 0.5V at any time during the power up. The core voltage is not required to begin ramping before the 3.3V or the 1.9V supply.
82563EB/82564EB LAN on Motherboard Design Guide The 82563EB/82564EB device has a PHY_PWR_GOOD input. Treat this signal as an external device reset which works in conjunction with the internal power-on reset circuitry. In the situation where a central power supply furnishes all the voltage sources, PHY_PWR_GOOD can possibly be tied to the platform’s RSM_RST#.
A common board or system-level manufacturing test for proper electrical continuity between a silicon component and the board is some type of cascaded-XOR or NAND tree test. The 82563EB/ 82564EB implements an XOR tree spanning most I/O signals. The component XOR tree consists of a series of cascaded XOR logic gates, each stage feeding in the electrical value from a unique pin.
82563EB/82564EB LAN on Motherboard Design Guide Note: Some of the pins that are inputs for the XOR test are listed as “may be left disconnected” in the pin descriptions. If XOR test is used, all inputs to the XOR tree must be connected.
“Crystal Selection Parameters”. The Intel® Ethernet controllers also have bus clock input functionality, however a discussion of this feature is beyond the scope of this document, and will not be addressed. The chosen frequency control device vendor should be consulted early in the design cycle. Crystal and oscillator manufacturers familiar with networking equipment clock requirements may provide assistance in selecting an optimum, low-cost solution.
82563EB/82564EB LAN on Motherboard Design Guide For Intel® Ethernet controllers, it is acceptable to overdrive the internal inverter by connecting a 25 MHz external oscillator to the XTAL1 lead, leaving the XTAL2 lead unconnected. The oscillator should be specified to drive CMOS logic levels, and the clock trace to the device should be as short as possible.
82563EB/82564EB LAN on Motherboard Design Guide Crystal Selection Parameters All crystals used with Intel® Ethernet controllers are described as “AT-cut,” which refers to the angle at which the unit is sliced with respect to the long axis of the quartz stone. The following...
82563EB/82564EB LAN on Motherboard Design Guide Nominal Frequency Intel® Ethernet controllers use a crystal frequency of 25.000 MHz. The 25 MHz input is used to generate a 125 MHz transmit clock for 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-TX operation – 10 MHz and 20 MHz transmit clocks, for 10BASE-T operation.
The formula for crystal load capacitance is as follows: ⋅ C1 C2 ------------------------- stray where C1 = C2 = 27 pF (as suggested in most Intel reference designs) and C = allowance for additional capacitance in pads, traces and the chip carrier stray within the Ethernet device package An allowance of 3 pF to 7 pF accounts for lumped stray capacitance.
AT strips, rather than circular AT quartz blanks. Some crystal data sheets list crystals with a maximum drive level of 1 mW. However, Intel® Ethernet controllers drive crystals to a level less than the suggested 750 µW value. This parameter does not have much value for on-chip oscillator use.
10/100 and 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet LAN, the transmitter reference frequency must be precise within ±50 ppm. Intel® recommends customers to use a transmitter reference frequency that is accurate to within ±30 ppm to account for variations in crystal accuracy due to crystal manufacturing tolerance.

82563EB/82564EB LAN on Motherboard Design Guide Oscillator Support The 82563EB/82564EB clock input circuit is optimized for use with an external crystal. However, an oscillator can also be used in place of the crystal with the proper design considerations: • The clock oscillator has an internal voltage regulator of 1.2 V to isolate it from the external noise of other circuits to minimize jitter.
82563EB/82564EB LAN on Motherboard Design Guide Oscillator Solution There are two possible oscillator solutions: high voltage and low voltage. 6.1.1 High Voltage Solution (VDD = 3.3V) This solution involves capacitor C1, which forms a capacitor divider with C of about 20 pF.
Designing for 1000 BASE-T Gigabit operation is very similar to designing for 10 and 100 Mbps. For the 82563EB/82564EB Gigabit Ethernet Platform LAN Connect, system level tests should be performed at all three speeds.
0.75 of an inch. Ensure that the traces from XTAL1 and XTAL2 on the 82563EB/82564EB are routed symmetrically their lengths are matched. If an oscillator is used instead, connect the clock signal with the shortest, most direct trace possible.
82563EB/82564EB LAN on Motherboard Design Guide 7.1.3 Board Stack Up Recommendations Printed circuit boards for these designs typically have six or more layers. Although, the 82563EB/ 82564EB does not dictate the stackup, here is an example of a typical six-layer board stackup: •...
82563EB/82564EB LAN on Motherboard Design Guide Each pair of signal should have a differential impedance of 100 Ω. +/- 20%. If a particular tool cannot design differential traces, it is permissible to specify 55-65 Ω single-ended traces as long as the spacing between the two traces is minimized.
82563EB/82564EB LAN on Motherboard Design Guide • Keep maximum separation within differential pairs to 9 mils. • For high-speed signals, the number of corners and vias should be kept to a minimum. If a 90° bend is required, it is recommended to use two 45° bends instead. Refer to Figure •...
82563EB/82564EB LAN on Motherboard Design Guide 7.1.8 Impedance Discontinuities Impedance discontinuities cause unwanted signal reflections. Minimize vias (signal through holes) and other transmission line irregularities. If vias must be used, a reasonable budget is two per differential trace. Unused pads and stub traces should also be avoided.
82563EB/82564EB LAN on Motherboard Design Guide The following guidelines help reduce circuit inductance in both backplanes and motherboards: • Route traces over a continuous plane with no interruptions. Do not route over a split power or ground plane. If there are vacant areas on a ground or power plane, avoid routing signals over the vacant area.
82563EB/82564EB LAN on Motherboard Design Guide 7.1.13 Ground Planes Under a Magnetics Module (Copper-Based Gigabit designs) The magnetics module chassis or output ground (secondary side of transformer) should be separated from the digital or input ground (primary side) by a physical separation of 100 mils minimum.

±50 parts per million (ppm). Note: Intel recommends a frequency tolerance of ±30 (ppm).
