General Description
The number of applications requiring Ethernet Con-
nectivity continues to expand. Along with this
increased market demand is a change in application
requirements. Where single channel Ethernet used to
be sufficient, many applications such as wireless
remote base stations and industrial networking now
require DUAL Port functionality for redundancy or sys-
tem management.
The DP83849ID is a highly reliable, feature rich device
perfectly suited for industrial applications enabling
Ethernet on the factory floor. The DP83849ID features
two fully independent 10/100 ports for multi-port appli-
cations.
The DP83849ID provides optimum flexibility in MPU
selection by supporting both MII and RMII interfaces.
The device also provides flexibility by supporting both
copper and fiber media.
In addition this device includes a powerful new diag-
nostics tool to ensure initial network operation and
maintenance. In addition to the TDR scheme, com-
monly used for detecting faults during installation,
NATIONAL’s innovative cable diagnostics provides for
real time continuous monitoring of the link quality. This
allows the system designer to implement a fault pre-
diction mechanism to detect and warn of changing or
deteriorating link conditions.
With the DP83849ID, National Semiconductor contin-
ues to build on its Ethernet expertise and leadership
position by providing a powerful combination of fea-
tures and flexibility, easing Ethernet implementation for
the system designer.

always logic 0. There is no heartbeat function during 10 Mb/s full du-
plex operation.
RMII COLLISION DETECT: Per the RMII Specification, no COL sig-
nal is required. The MAC will recover CRS from the CRS_DV signal
and use that along with its TX_EN signal to determine collision.
SNI COLLISION DETECT: Asserted high to indicate detection of a
collision condition (simultaneous transmit and receive activity) in 10
Mb/s SNI mode.

DP83849ID
1.3 Clock Interface
1.4 LED Interface
The DP83849ID supports three configurable LED pins. The
LEDs support two operational modes which are selected
by the LED mode strap and a third operational mode which
is register configurable. The definitions for the LEDs for
each mode are detailed below. Since the LEDs are also
used as strap options, the polarity of the LED output is
dependent on whether the pin is pulled up or down.
Signal Name Type Pin # Description
X1 I70 CRYSTAL/OSCILLATOR INPUT: This pin is the primary clock
reference input for the DP83849ID and must be connected to a 25
MHz 0.005% (+50 ppm) clock source. The DP83849ID supports
either an external crystal resonator connected across pins X1 and
X2, or an external CMOS-level oscillator source connected to pin
X1 only.
RMII REFERENCE CLOCK: This pin is the primary clock refer-
ence input for the RMII mode and must be connected to a 50 MHz
0.005% (+50 ppm) CMOS-level oscillator source.
X2 O69 CRYSTAL OUTPUT: This pin is the primary clock reference out-
put to connect to an external 25 MHz crystal resonator device.
This pin must be left unconnected if an external CMOS oscillator
clock source is used.
CLK2MAC O68 CLOCK TO MAC:
In MII mode, this pin provides a 25 MHz clock output to the sys-
tem.
In RMII mode, this pin provides a 50 MHz clock output to the sys-
tem.
This allows other devices to use the reference clock from the
DP83849ID without requiring additional clock sources.
If the system does not require the CLK2MAC signal, the
CLK2MAC output should be disabled via the CLK2MAC disable
strap.

1.5 JTAG Interface
1.6 Reset and Power Down
1.7 Strap Options
The DP83849ID uses many of the functional pins as strap
options. The values of these pins are sampled during reset
and used to strap the device into specific modes of opera-
tion. The strap option pin assignments are defined below.
The functional pin name is indicated in parentheses.
A 2.2 k resistor should be used for pull-down or pull-up to
change the default strap option. If the default option is
required, then there is no need for external pull-up or pull
down resistors. Since these pins may have alternate func-
tions after reset is deasserted, they should not be con-
nected directly to VCC or GND.f
Signal Name Type Pin # Description
TCK I, PU 72 TEST CLOCK
This pin has a weak internal pullup.
TDO O73 TEST OUTPUT
TMS I, PU 74 TEST MODE SELECT
This pin has a weak internal pullup.
TRSTN I, PU 75 TEST RESET Active low test reset.
This pin has a weak internal pullup.
TDI I, PU 76 TEST DATA INPUT
This pin has a weak internal pullup.
Signal Name Type Pin # Description
RESET_N I, PU 71 RESET: Active Low input that initializes or re-initializes the
DP83849ID. Asserting this pin low for at least 1 µs will force a re-
set process to occur. All internal registers will re-initialize to their
default states as specified for each bit in the Register Block sec-
tion. All strap options are re-initialized as well.
PWRDOWN_INT_A
PWRDOWN_INT_B
I, PU 18
44
The default function of this pin is POWER DOWN.
POWER DOWN: The pin is an active low input in this mode and
should be asserted low to put the device in a Power Down mode.
INTERRUPT: The pin is an open drain output in this mode and will
be asserted low when an interrupt condition occurs. Although the
pin has a weak internal pull-up, some applications may require an
external pull-up resister. Register access is required for the pin to
be used as an interrupt mechanism. See Section 5.6.2 Interrupt
Mechanism for more details on the interrupt mechanisms.

PHY ADDRESS [4:1]: The DP83849ID provides four PHY ad-
dress pins, the state of which are latched into the PHYCTRL reg-
ister at system Hardware-Reset. Phy Address[0] selects between
ports A and B.
The DP83849ID supports PHY Address strapping for Port A even
values 0 (<0000_0>) through 30 (<1111_0>). Port B will be
strapped to odd values 1 (<0000_1>) through 31 (<1111_1>).
PHYAD[4:1] pins have weak internal pull-down resistors.

FX ENABLE: Default is to disable 100BASE-FX (Fiber) mode.
This strapping option enables 100BASE-FX. An external pull-up
will enable 100BASE-FX mode.
Auto-Negotiation Enable: When high, this enables Auto-Negoti-
ation with the capability set by AN0 and AN1 pins. When low, this
puts the part into Forced Mode with the capability set by AN0 and
AN1 pins.
AN0 / AN1: These input pins control the forced or advertised oper-
ating mode of the DP83849ID according to the following table. The
value on these pins is set by connecting the input pins to GND (0)
or VCC (1) through 2.2 kresistors. These pins should NEVER
be connected directly to GND or VCC.
Fiber Mode Duplex Selection: If Fiber mode is strapped using the
FX_EN pin, the AN0 strap value is used to select Half or Full Du-
plex. AN_EN and AN1are ignored if FX_EN is asserted, since Fi-
ber mode is 100Mb only and does not support Auto-Negotiation.
The value set at this input is latched into the DP83849ID at Hard-
ware-Reset.
The float/pull-down status of these pins are latched into the Basic
Mode Control Register and the Auto_Negotiation Advertisement
Register during Hardware-Reset.
The default is 0111 since the FX_EN pin has an internal pull-down
and the Auto-Negotiation pins have internal pull-ups.

MII MODE SELECT: This strapping option pair determines the
operating mode of the MAC Data Interface. Default operation (No
pull-ups) will enable normal MII Mode of operation. Strapping
MII_MODE high will cause the device to be in RMII or SNI modes
of operation, determined by the status of the SNI_MODE strap.
Since the pins include internal pull-downs, the default values are
0. Both MAC Data Interfaces must have their RMII Mode settings
the same, i.e. both in RMII mode or both not in RMII mode.

DP83849ID
2.0 Configuration
This section includes information on the various configura-
tion options available with the DP83849ID. The configura-
tion options described below include:
Media Configuration
Auto-Negotiation
PHY Address and LEDs
Half Duplex vs. Full Duplex
Isolate mode
Loopback mode
—BIST
2.1 Media Configuration
The DP83849ID supports both Twister Pair (100BASE-TX
and 10BASE-T) and Fiber (100BASE-FX) media. Each
port may be independently configured for Twisted Pair (TP)
or Fiber (FX) operation by strap option or by register
access.
At power-up/reset, the state of the COL_A and COL_B pins
will select the media for ports A and B respectively. The
default selection is TP mode, while an external pull-up will
select FX mode of operation. Strapping a port into FX
mode also automatically sets the Far-End Fault Enable, bit
3 of PCSR (16h), the Scramble Bypass, bit 1 of PCSR
(16h) and the Descrambler Bypass, bit 0 of PCSR (16h). In
addition, the media selection may be controlled by writing
to bit 6, FX_EN, of PCSR (16h).
2.2 Auto-Negotiation
The Auto-Negotiation function provides a mechanism for
exchanging configuration information between two ends of
a link segment and automatically selecting the highest per-
formance mode of operation supported by both devices.
Fast Link Pulse (FLP) Bursts provide the signalling used to
communicate Auto-Negotiation abilities between two
devices at each end of a link segment. For further detail
regarding Auto-Negotiation, refer to Clause 28 of the IEEE
802.3u specification. The DP83849ID supports four differ-
ent Ethernet protocols (10 Mb/s Half Duplex, 10 Mb/s Full
Duplex, 100 Mb/s Half Duplex, and 100 Mb/s Full Duplex),
so the inclusion of Auto-Negotiation ensures that the high-
est performance protocol will be selected based on the
advertised ability of the Link Partner. The Auto-Negotiation
function within the DP83849ID can be controlled either by
internal register access or by the use of the AN_EN, AN1
and AN0 pins.
2.2.1 Auto-Negotiation Pin Control
The state of AN_EN, AN0 and AN1 determines whether the
DP83849ID is forced into a specific mode or Auto-Negotia-
tion will advertise a specific ability (or set of abilities) as
given in Table 1. These pins allow configuration options to
be selected without requiring internal register access.
The state of AN_EN, AN0 and AN1, upon power-up/reset,
determines the state of bits [8:5] of the ANAR register.
The Auto-Negotiation function selected at power-up or
reset can be changed at any time by writing to the Basic
Mode Control Register (BMCR) at address 00h.
2.2.2 Auto-Negotiation Register Control
When Auto-Negotiation is enabled, the DP83849ID trans-
mits the abilities programmed into the Auto-Negotiation
Advertisement register (ANAR) at address 04h via FLP
Bursts. Any combination of 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, Half-
Duplex, and Full Duplex modes may be selected.
Auto-Negotiation Priority Resolution:
(1) 100BASE-TX Full Duplex (Highest Priority)
(2) 100BASE-TX Half Duplex
(3) 10BASE-T Full Duplex
(4) 10BASE-T Half Duplex (Lowest Priority)
The Basic Mode Control Register (BMCR) at address 00h
provides control for enabling, disabling, and restarting the
Auto-Negotiation process. When Auto-Negotiation is dis-
abled, the Speed Selection bit in the BMCR controls
switching between 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s operation, and the
Duplex Mode bit controls switching between full duplex
operation and half duplex operation. The Speed Selection
and Duplex Mode bits have no effect on the mode of oper-
ation when the Auto-Negotiation Enable bit is set.
The Link Speed can be examined through the PHY Status
Register (PHYSTS) at address 10h after a Link is
achieved.
The Basic Mode Status Register (BMSR) indicates the set
of available abilities for technology types, Auto-Negotiation
ability, and Extended Register Capability. These bits are
permanently set to indicate the full functionality of the
DP83849ID (only the 100BASE-T4 bit is not set since the
DP83849ID does not support that function).
The BMSR also provides status on:
Whether or not Auto-Negotiation is complete
Whether or not the Link Partner is advertising that a re-
mote fault has occurred
Whether or not valid link has been established
Support for Management Frame Preamble suppression
The Auto-Negotiation Advertisement Register (ANAR) indi-
cates the Auto-Negotiation abilities to be advertised by the
DP83849ID. All available abilities are transmitted by
default, but any ability can be suppressed by writing to the
Table 1. Auto-Negotiation Modes

DP83849ID
ANAR. Updating the ANAR to suppress an ability is one
way for a management agent to change (restrict) the tech-
nology that is used.
The Auto-Negotiation Link Partner Ability Register
(ANLPAR) at address 05h is used to receive the base link
code word as well as all next page code words during the
negotiation. Furthermore, the ANLPAR will be updated to
either 0081h or 0021h for parallel detection to either 100
Mb/s or 10 Mb/s respectively.
The Auto-Negotiation Expansion Register (ANER) indi-
cates additional Auto-Negotiation status. The ANER pro-
vides status on:
Whether or not a Parallel Detect Fault has occurred
Whether or not the Link Partner supports the Next Page
function
Whether or not the DP83849ID supports the Next Page
function
Whether or not the current page being exchanged by
Auto-Negotiation has been received
Whether or not the Link Partner supports Auto-Negotia-
tion
2.2.3 Auto-Negotiation Parallel Detection
The DP83849ID supports the Parallel Detection function as
defined in the IEEE 802.3u specification. Parallel Detection
requires both the 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s receivers to moni-
tor the receive signal and report link status to the Auto-
Negotiation function. Auto-Negotiation uses this informa-
tion to configure the correct technology in the event that the
Link Partner does not support Auto-Negotiation but is
transmitting link signals that the 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-
T PMAs recognize as valid link signals.
If the DP83849ID completes Auto-Negotiation as a result of
Parallel Detection, bits 5 and 7 within the ANLPAR register
will be set to reflect the mode of operation present in the
Link Partner. Note that bits 4:0 of the ANLPAR will also be
set to 00001 based on a successful parallel detection to
indicate a valid 802.3 selector field. Software may deter-
mine that negotiation completed via Parallel Detection by
reading a zero in the Link Partner Auto-Negotiation Able bit
once the Auto-Negotiation Complete bit is set. If configured
for parallel detect mode and any condition other than a sin-
gle good link occurs then the parallel detect fault bit will be
set.
2.2.4 Auto-Negotiation Restart
Once Auto-Negotiation has completed, it may be restarted
at any time by setting bit 9 (Restart Auto-Negotiation) of the
BMCR to one. If the mode configured by a successful Auto-
Negotiation loses a valid link, then the Auto-Negotiation
process will resume and attempt to determine the configu-
ration for the link. This function ensures that a valid config-
uration is maintained if the cable becomes disconnected.
A renegotiation request from any entity, such as a manage-
ment agent, will cause the DP83849ID to halt any transmit
data and link pulse activity until the break_link_timer
expires (~1500 ms). Consequently, the Link Partner will go
into link fail and normal Auto-Negotiation resumes. The
DP83849ID will resume Auto-Negotiation after the
break_link_timer has expired by issuing FLP (Fast Link
Pulse) bursts.
2.2.5 Enabling Auto-Negotiation via Software
It is important to note that if the DP83849ID has been ini-
tialized upon power-up as a non-auto-negotiating device
(forced technology), and it is then required that Auto-Nego-
tiation or re-Auto-Negotiation be initiated via software,
bit 12 (Auto-Negotiation Enable) of the Basic Mode Control
Register (BMCR) must first be cleared and then set for any
Auto-Negotiation function to take effect.
2.2.6 Auto-Negotiation Complete Time
Parallel detection and Auto-Negotiation take approximately
2-3 seconds to complete. In addition, Auto-Negotiation with
next page should take approximately 2-3 seconds to com-
plete, depending on the number of next pages sent.
Refer to Clause 28 of the IEEE 802.3u standard for a full
description of the individual timers related to Auto-Negotia-
tion.
2.3 Auto-MDIX
When enabled, this function utilizes Auto-Negotiation to
determine the proper configuration for transmission and
reception of data and subsequently selects the appropriate
MDI pair for MDI/MDIX operation. The function uses a ran-
dom seed to control switching of the crossover circuitry.
This implementation complies with the corresponding IEEE
802.3 Auto-Negotiation and Crossover Specifications.
Auto-MDIX is enabled by default and can be configured via
strap or via PHYCR (19h) register, bits [15:14].
Neither Auto-Negotiation nor Auto-MDIX is required to be
enabled in forcing crossover of the MDI pairs. Forced
crossover can be achieved through the FORCE_MDIX bit,
bit 14 of PHYCR (19h) register.
Note: Auto-MDIX will not work in a forced mode of opera-
tion.
2.4 PHY Address
The 4 PHY address inputs pins are shown below.
The DP83849ID provides four address strap pins for deter-
mining the PHY addresses for ports A and B of the device.
The 4 address strap pins provide the upper four bits of the
PHY address. The lowest bit of the PHY address is depen-
dent on the port. Port A has a value of 0 for the PHY
address bit 0 while port B has a value of 1. The PHY
address strap input pins are shown in Tab l e 2.
The PHY address strap information is latched into the
PHYCR register (address 19h, bits [4:0]) at device power-
up and hardware reset. The PHY Address pins are shared
with the RXD pins. Each DP83849ID or port sharing an

DP83849ID
MDIO bus in a system must have a unique physical
address.
The DP83849ID supports PHY Address strapping of Port A
to even values 0 (<0000_0>) through 30 (<1111_0>). Port
B is strapped to odd values 1 (<0000_1>) through 31
(<1111_1>). Note that Port B address is always 1 greater
than Port A address.
For further detail relating to the latch-in timing requirements
of the PHY Address pins, as well as the other hardware
configuration pins, refer to the Reset summary in
Section 6.0.
Refer to Figure 2 for an example of a PHYAD connection to
external components. In this example, the PHYAD strap-
ping results in address 00010 (02h) for Port A and address
00011 (03h) for Port B.
2.4.1 MII Isolate Mode
The DP83849ID can be put into MII Isolate mode by writing
to bit 10 of the BMCR register.
When in the MII isolate mode, the DP83849ID does not
respond to packet data present at TXD[3:0], TX_EN inputs
and presents a high impedance on the TX_CLK, RX_CLK,
RX_DV, RX_ER, RXD[3:0], COL, and CRS outputs. When
in Isolate mode, the DP83849ID will continue to respond to
all management transactions.
While in Isolate mode, the PMD output pair will not transmit
packet data but will continue to source 100BASE-TX
scrambled idles or 10BASE-T normal link pulses.
The DP83849ID can Auto-Negotiate or parallel detect to a
specific technology depending on the receive signal at the
PMD input pair. A valid link can be established for the
receiver even when the DP83849ID is in Isolate mode.

DP83849ID
2.5 LED Interface
The DP83849ID supports three configurable Light Emitting
Diode (LED) pins for each port.
Several functions can be multiplexed onto the three LEDs
using three different modes of operation. The LED opera-
tion mode can be selected by writing to the LED_CFG[1:0]
register bits in the PHY Control Register (PHYCR) at
address 19h, bits [6:5]. In addition, LED_CFG[0] for each
port can be set by a strap option on the CRS_A and
CRS_B pins. LED_CFG[1] is only controllable through reg-
ister access and cannot be set by as strap pin.
See Table 3 for LED Mode selection.
The LED_LINK pin in Mode 1 indicates the link status of
the port. In 100BASE-T mode, link is established as a
result of input receive amplitude compliant with the TP-
PMD specifications which will result in internal generation
of signal detect. A 10 Mb/s Link is established as a result of
the reception of at least seven consecutive normal Link
Pulses or the reception of a valid 10BASE-T packet. This
will cause the assertion of LED_LINK. LED_LINK will deas-
sert in accordance with the Link Loss Timer as specified in
the IEEE 802.3 specification.
The LED_LINK pin in Mode 1 will be OFF when no LINK is
present.
The LED_LINK pin in Mode 2 and Mode 3 will be ON to
indicate Link is good and BLINK to indicate activity is
present on activity. The BLINK frequency is defined in
BLINK_FREQ, bits [7:6] of register LEDCR (18h).
Activity is defined as configured in LEDACT_RX, bit 8 of
register LEDCR (18h). If LEDACT_RX is 0, Activity is sig-
naled for either transmit or receive. If LEDACT_RX is 1,
Activity is only signaled for receive.
The LED_SPEED pin indicates 10 or 100 Mb/s data rate of
the port. The LED is ON when operating in 100Mb/s mode
and OFF when operating in 10Mb/s mode. The functional-
ity of this LED is independent of mode selected.
The LED_ACT/LED_COL pin in Mode 1 indicates the pres-
ence of either transmit or receive activity. The LED will be
ON for Activity and OFF for No Activity. In Mode 2, this pin
indicates the Collision status of the port. The LED will be
ON for Collision and OFF for No Collision.
The LED_ACT/LED_COL pin in Mode 3 indicates Duplex
status for 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s operation. The LED will be
ON for Full Duplex and OFF for Half Duplex.
In 10 Mb/s half duplex mode, the collision LED is based on
the COL signal.
Since these LED pins are also used as strap options, the
polarity of the LED is dependent on whether the pin is
pulled up or down.
2.5.1 LEDs
Since the Auto-Negotiation (AN) strap options share the
LED output pins, the external components required for
strapping and LED usage must be considered in order to
avoid contention.
Specifically, when the LED outputs are used to drive LEDs
directly, the active state of each output driver is dependent
on the logic level sampled by the corresponding AN input
upon power-up/reset. For example, if a given AN input is
resistively pulled low then the corresponding output will be
configured as an active high driver. Conversely, if a given
AN input is resistively pulled high, then the corresponding
output will be configured as an active low driver.
Refer to Figure 3 for an example of AN connections to
external components at port A. In this example, the AN
strapping results in Auto-Negotiation disabled with 100
Full-Duplex forced.
The adaptive nature of the LED outputs helps to simplify
potential implementation issues of these dual purpose pins.

DP83849ID
2.5.2 LED Direct Control
The DP83849ID provides another option to directly control
any or all LED outputs through the LED Direct Control Reg-
ister (LEDCR), address 18h. The register does not provide
read access to LEDs.
2.6 Half Duplex vs. Full Duplex
The DP83849ID supports both half and full duplex opera-
tion at both 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s speeds.
Half-duplex relies on the CSMA/CD protocol to handle colli-
sions and network access. In Half-Duplex mode, CRS
responds to both transmit and receive activity in order to
maintain compliance with the IEEE 802.3 specification.
Since the DP83849ID is designed to support simultaneous
transmit and receive activity it is capable of supporting full-
duplex switched applications with a throughput of up to 200
Mb/s per port when operating in either 100BASE-TX or
100BASE-FX. Because the CSMA/CD protocol does not
apply to full-duplex operation, the DP83849ID disables its
own internal collision sensing and reporting functions and
modifies the behavior of Carrier Sense (CRS) such that it
indicates only receive activity. This allows a full-duplex
capable MAC to operate properly.
All modes of operation (100BASE-TX, 100BASE-FX,
10BASE-T) can run either half-duplex or full-duplex. Addi-
tionally, other than CRS and Collision reporting, all remain-
ing MII signaling remains the same regardless of the
selected duplex mode.
It is important to understand that while Auto-Negotiation
with the use of Fast Link Pulse code words can interpret
and configure to full-duplex operation, parallel detection
can not recognize the difference between full and half-
duplex from a fixed 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s link partner over
twisted pair. As specified in the 802.3u specification, if a
far-end link partner is configured to a forced full duplex
100BASE-TX ability, the parallel detection state machine in
the partner would be unable to detect the full duplex capa-
bility of the far-end link partner. This link segment would
negotiate to a half duplex 100BASE-TX configuration
(same scenario for 10Mb/s).
Auto-Negotiation is not supported in 100BASE-FX opera-
tion. Selection of Half or Full-duplex operation is controlled
by bit 8 of the Basic Mode Control Register (BMCR),
address 00h. If 100BASE-FX mode is strapped using the
FX_EN pin, the AN0 strap value is used to set the value of
bit 8 of the BMCR (00h) register. Note that the other Auto-
Negotiation strap pins (AN_EN and AN1) are ignored in
100BASE-FX mode.
2.7 Internal Loopback
The DP83849ID includes a Loopback Test mode for facili-
tating system diagnostics. The Loopback mode is selected
through bit 14 (Loopback) of the Basic Mode Control Reg-
ister (BMCR). Writing 1 to this bit enables MII transmit data
to be routed to the MII receive outputs. Loopback status
may be checked in bit 3 of the PHY Status Register
(PHYSTS). While in Loopback mode the data will not be
transmitted onto the media. To ensure that the desired
operating mode is maintained, Auto-Negotiation should be
disabled before selecting the Loopback mode.
2.8 BIST
The DP83849ID incorporates an internal Built-in Self Test
(BIST) circuit to accommodate in-circuit testing or diagnos-
tics. The BIST circuit can be utilized to test the integrity of
the transmit and receive data paths. BIST testing can be
performed with the part in the internal loopback mode or
externally looped back using a loopback cable fixture.
The BIST is implemented with independent transmit and
receive paths, with the transmit block generating a continu-
ous stream of a pseudo random sequence. The user can
select a 9 bit or 15 bit pseudo random sequence from the
PSR_15 bit in the PHY Control Register (PHYCR). The
received data is compared to the generated pseudo-ran-
dom data by the BIST Linear Feedback Shift Register
(LFSR) to determine the BIST pass/fail status.
The pass/fail status of the BIST is stored in the BIST status
bit in the PHYCR register. The status bit defaults to 0 (BIST
fail) and will transition on a successful comparison. If an
error (mis-compare) occurs, the status bit is latched and is
cleared upon a subsequent write to the Start/Stop bit.
For transmit VOD testing, the Packet BIST Continuous
Mode can be used to allow continuous data transmission,
setting BIST_CONT_MODE, bit 5, of CDCTRL1 (1Bh).
The number of BIST errors can be monitored through the
BIST Error Count in the CDCTRL1 (1Bh), bits [15:8].

DP83849ID
3.0 MAC Interface
The DP83849ID supports several modes of operation
using the MII interface pins. The options are defined in the
following sections and include:
MII Mode
RMII Mode
10 Mb Serial Network Interface (SNI)
In addition, the DP83849ID supports the standard 802.3u
MII Serial Management Interface.
The modes of operation can be selected by strap options
or register control. For RMII mode, it is required to use the
strap option, since it requires a 50 MHz clock instead of the
normal 25 MHz.
In each of these modes, the IEEE 802.3 serial manage-
ment interface is operational for device configuration and
status. The serial management interface of the MII allows
for the configuration and control of multiple PHY devices,
gathering of status, error information, and the determina-
tion of the type and capabilities of the attached PHY(s).
3.1 MII Interface
The DP83849ID incorporates the Media Independent Inter-
face (MII) as specified in Clause 22 of the IEEE 802.3u
standard. This interface may be used to connect PHY
devices to a MAC in 10/100 Mb/s systems. This section
describes the nibble wide MII data interface.
The nibble wide MII data interface consists of a receive bus
and a transmit bus each with control signals to facilitate
data transfer between the PHY and the upper layer (MAC).
3.1.1 Nibble-wide MII Data Interface
Clause 22 of the IEEE 802.3u specification defines the
Media Independent Interface. This interface includes a
dedicated receive bus and a dedicated transmit bus. These
two data buses, along with various control and status sig-
nals, allow for the simultaneous exchange of data between
the DP83849ID and the upper layer agent (MAC).
The receive interface consists of a nibble wide data bus
RXD[3:0], a receive error signal RX_ER, a receive data
valid flag RX_DV, and a receive clock RX_CLK for syn-
chronous transfer of the data. The receive clock operates
at either 2.5 MHz to support 10 Mb/s operation modes or at
25 MHz to support 100 Mb/s operational modes.
The transmit interface consists of a nibble wide data bus
TXD[3:0], a transmit enable control signal TX_EN, and a
transmit clock TX_CLK which runs at either 2.5 MHz or 25
MHz.
Additionally, the MII includes the carrier sense signal CRS,
as well as a collision detect signal COL. The CRS signal
asserts to indicate the reception of data from the network
or as a function of transmit data in Half Duplex mode. The
COL signal asserts as an indication of a collision which can
occur during half-duplex operation when both a transmit
and receive operation occur simultaneously.
3.1.2 Collision Detect
For Half Duplex, a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX collision is
detected when the receive and transmit channels are
active simultaneously. Collisions are reported by the COL
signal on the MII.
If the DP83849ID is transmitting in 10 Mb/s mode when a
collision is detected, the collision is not reported until seven
bits have been received while in the collision state. This
prevents a collision being reported incorrectly due to noise
on the network. The COL signal remains set for the dura-
tion of the collision.
If a collision occurs during a receive operation, it is immedi-
ately reported by the COL signal.
When heartbeat is enabled (only applicable to 10 Mb/s
operation), approximately 1µs after the transmission of
each packet, a Signal Quality Error (SQE) signal of approx-
imately 10 bit times is generated (internally) to indicate
successful transmission. SQE is reported as a pulse on the
COL signal of the MII.
3.1.3 Carrier Sense
Carrier Sense (CRS) is asserted due to receive activity,
once valid data is detected via the squelch function during
10 Mb/s operation. During 100 Mb/s operation CRS is
asserted when a valid link (SD) and two non-contiguous
zeros are detected on the line.
For 10 or 100 Mb/s Half Duplex operation, CRS is asserted
during either packet transmission or reception.
For 10 or 100 Mb/s Full Duplex operation, CRS is asserted
only due to receive activity.
CRS is deasserted following an end of packet.

DP83849ID
3.2 Reduced MII Interface
The DP83849ID incorporates the Reduced Media Indepen-
dent Interface (RMII) as specified in the RMII specification
(rev1.2) from the RMII Consortium. This interface may be
used to connect PHY devices to a MAC in 10/100 Mb/s
systems using a reduced number of pins. In this mode,
data is transferred 2-bits at a time using the 50 MHz
RMII_REF clock for both transmit and receive. The follow-
ing pins are used in RMII mode:
—TX_EN
—TXD[1:0]
RX_ER (optional for Mac)
CRS_DV
RXD[1:0]
X1 (RMII Reference clock is 50 MHz)
In addition, the RMII mode supplies an RX_DV signal
which allows for a simpler method of recovering receive
data without having to separate RX_DV from the CRS_DV
indication. This is especially useful for diagnostic testing
where it may be desirable to externally loop Receive MII
data directly to the transmitter.
The RX_ER output may be used by the MAC to detect
error conditions. It is asserted for symbol errors received
during a packet, False Carrier events, and also for FIFO
underrun or overrun conditions. Since the Phy is required
to corrupt receive data on an error, a MAC is not required
to use RX_ER.
It is important to note that since both digital channels in the
DP83849ID share the X1/RMII_REF input, both channels
must have RMII mode enabled or both channels must have
RMII mode disabled. Either channel may be in 10Mb or
100Mb mode in RMII or non-RMII mode.
Since the reference clock operates at 10 times the data
rate for 10 Mb/s operation, transmit data is sampled every
10 clocks. Likewise, receive data will be generated every
10th clock so that an attached device can sample the data
every 10 clocks.
RMII mode requires a 50 MHz oscillator be connected to
the device X1 pin. A 50 MHz crystal is not supported.
To tolerate potential frequency differences between the 50
MHz reference clock and the recovered receive clock, the
receive RMII function includes a programmable elasticity
buffer. The elasticity buffer is programmable to minimize
propagation delay based on expected packet size and
clock accuracy. This allows for supporting a range of
packet sizes including jumbo frames.
The elasticity buffer will force Frame Check Sequence
errors for packets which overrun or underrun the FIFO.
Underrun and Overrun conditions can be reported in the
RMII and Bypass Register (RBR). The following table indi-
cates how to program the elasticity buffer fifo (in 4-bit incre-
ments) based on expected max packet size and clock
accuracy. It assumes both clocks (RMII Reference clock
and far-end Transmitter clock) have the same accuracy.
Packet lengths can be scaled linearly based on accuracy
(+/- 25ppm would allows packets twice as large). If the
threshold setting must support both 10Mb and 100Mb
operation, the setting should be made to support both
speeds.

3.3 10 Mb Serial Network Interface (SNI)
The DP83849ID incorporates a 10 Mb Serial Network Inter-
face (SNI) which allows a simple serial data interface for 10
Mb only devices. This is also referred to as a 7-wire inter-
face. While there is no defined standard for this interface, it
is based on early 10 Mb physical layer devices. Data is
clocked serially at 10 MHz using separate transmit and
receive paths. The following pins are used in SNI mode:

3.4 802.3u MII Serial Management Interface
3.4.1 Serial Management Register Access
The serial management MII specification defines a set of
thirty-two 16-bit status and control registers that are acces-
sible through the management interface pins MDC and
MDIO. The DP83849ID implements all the required MII
registers as well as several optional registers. These regis-
ters are fully described in Section 7.0. A description of the
serial management access protocol follows.
3.4.2 Serial Management Access Protocol
The serial control interface consists of two pins, Manage-
ment Data Clock (MDC) and Management Data Input/Out-
put (MDIO). MDC has a maximum clock rate of 25 MHz
and no minimum rate. The MDIO line is bi-directional and
may be shared by up to 32 devices. The MDIO frame for-
mat is shown below in Tabl e 5 .
In addition, the MDIO pin requires a pull-up resistor (1.5
k) which, during IDLE and turnaround, will pull MDIO
high. In order to initialize the MDIO interface, the station
management entity sends a sequence of 32 contiguous
logic ones on MDIO to provide the DP83849ID with a
sequence that can be used to establish synchronization.
This preamble may be generated either by driving MDIO
high for 32 consecutive MDC clock cycles, or by simply
allowing the MDIO pull-up resistor to pull the MDIO pin high
during which time 32 MDC clock cycles are provided. In
addition 32 MDC clock cycles should be used to re-sync
the device if an invalid start, opcode, or turnaround bit is
detected.
The DP83849ID waits until it has received this preamble
sequence before responding to any other transaction.
Once the DP83849ID serial management port has been
initialized no further preamble sequencing is required until
after a power-on/reset, invalid Start, invalid Opcode, or
invalid turnaround bit has occurred.
The Start code is indicated by a <01> pattern. This assures
the MDIO line transitions from the default idle line state.
Turnaround is defined as an idle bit time inserted between
the Register Address field and the Data field. To avoid con-
tention during a read transaction, no device shall actively
drive the MDIO signal during the first bit of Turnaround.
The addressed DP83849ID drives the MDIO with a zero for
the second bit of turnaround and follows this with the
required data. Figure 4 shows the timing relationship
between MDC and the MDIO as driven/received by the Sta-
tion (STA) and the DP83849ID (PHY) for a typical register
read access.
For write transactions, the station management entity
writes data to the addressed DP83849ID thus eliminating
the requirement for MDIO Turnaround. The Turnaround
time is filled by the management entity by inserting <10>.
Figure 5 shows the timing relationship for a typical MII reg-
ister write access.

3.4.3 Serial Management Preamble Suppression
The DP83849ID supports a Preamble Suppression mode
as indicated by a one in bit 6 of the Basic Mode Status
Register (BMSR, address 01h.) If the station management
entity (i.e. MAC or other management controller) deter-
mines that all PHYs in the system support Preamble Sup-
pression by returning a one in this bit, then the station
management entity need not generate preamble for each
management transaction.
The DP83849ID requires a single initialization sequence of
32 bits of preamble following hardware/software reset. This
requirement is generally met by the mandatory pull-up
resistor on MDIO in conjunction with a continuous MDC, or
the management access made to determine whether Pre-
amble Suppression is supported.
While the DP83849ID requires an initial preamble
sequence of 32 bits for management initialization, it does
not require
a full 32-bit sequence between each subsequent transac-
tion. A minimum of one idle bit between management
transactions is required as specified in the IEEE 802.3u
specification.
3.4.4 Simultaneous Register Write
The DP83849ID incorporates a mode which allows simulta-
neous write access to both Port A and B register blocks at
the same time. This mode is selected by setting bit 15 of
RMII and Bypass Register (RBR, address 17h) in Port A.
As long as this bit remains set, subsequent writes to Port A
will write to registers in both ports.
Register reads are unaffected. Each port must still be read
individually.

4.0 Architecture
This section describes the operations within each trans-
ceiver module, 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T. Each opera-
tion consists of several functional blocks and described in
the following:
100BASE-TX Transmitter
100BASE-TX Receiver
100BASE-FX Operation
10BASE-T Transceiver Module
4.1 100BASE-TX TRANSMITTER
The 100BASE-TX transmitter consists of several functional
blocks which convert synchronous 4-bit nibble data, as pro-
vided by the MII, to a scrambled MLT-3 125 Mb/s serial
data stream. Because the 100BASE-TX TP-PMD is inte-
grated, the differential output pins, PMD Output Pair, can
be directly routed to the magnetics.
The block diagram in Figure 6. provides an overview of
each functional block within the 100BASE-TX transmit sec-
tion.
The Transmitter section consists of the following functional
blocks:
Code-group Encoder and Injection block
Scrambler block (bypass option)
NRZ to NRZI encoder block
Binary to MLT-3 converter / Common Driver
The bypass option for the functional blocks within the
100BASE-TX transmitter provides flexibility for applications
where data conversion is not always required. The
DP83849ID implements the 100BASE-TX transmit state
machine diagram as specified in the IEEE 802.3u Stan-
dard, Clause 24.

DP83849ID
4.1.1 Code-group Encoding and Injection
The code-group encoder converts 4-bit (4B) nibble data
generated by the MAC into 5-bit (5B) code-groups for
transmission. This conversion is required to allow control
data to be combined with packet data code-groups. Refer
to Table 13 for 4B to 5B code-group mapping details.
The code-group encoder substitutes the first 8-bits of the
MAC preamble with a J/K code-group pair (11000 10001)
upon transmission. The code-group encoder continues to
replace subsequent 4B preamble and data nibbles with
corresponding 5B code-groups. At the end of the transmit
packet, upon the deassertion of Transmit Enable signal
from the MAC, the code-group encoder injects the T/R
code-group pair (01101 00111) indicating the end of the
frame.
After the T/R code-group pair, the code-group encoder
continuously injects IDLEs into the transmit data stream
until the next transmit packet is detected (reassertion of
Transmit Enable).
4.1.2 Scrambler
The scrambler is required to control the radiated emissions
at the media connector and on the twisted pair cable (for
100BASE-TX applications). By scrambling the data, the
total energy launched onto the cable is randomly distrib-
uted over a wide frequency range. Without the scrambler,
energy levels at the PMD and on the cable could peak
beyond FCC limitations at frequencies related to repeating
5B sequences (i.e., continuous transmission of IDLEs).
The scrambler is configured as a closed loop linear feed-
back shift register (LFSR) with an 11-bit polynomial. The
output of the closed loop LFSR is X-ORd with the serial
NRZ data from the code-group encoder. The result is a
scrambled data stream with sufficient randomization to
decrease radiated emissions at certain frequencies by as
much as 20 dB. The DP83849ID uses the PHY_ID (pins
PHYAD [4:1]) to set a unique seed value.
4.1.3 NRZ to NRZI Encoder
After the transmit data stream has been serialized and
scrambled, the data must be NRZI encoded in order to
comply with the TP-PMD standard for 100BASE-TX trans-
mission over Category-5 Unshielded twisted pair cable.
4.1.4 Binary to MLT-3 Convertor
The Binary to MLT-3 conversion is accomplished by con-
verting the serial binary data stream output from the NRZI
encoder into two binary data streams with alternately
phased logic one events. These two binary streams are
then fed to the twisted pair output driver which converts the
voltage to current and alternately drives either side of the
transmit transformer primary winding, resulting in a MLT-3
signal.
The 100BASE-TX MLT-3 signal sourced by the PMD Out-
put Pair common driver is slew rate controlled. This should
be considered when selecting AC coupling magnetics to
ensure TP-PMD Standard compliant transition times (3 ns
< Tr < 5 ns).
The 100BASE-TX transmit TP-PMD function within the
DP83849ID is capable of sourcing only MLT-3 encoded
data. Binary output from the PMD Output Pair is not possi-
ble in 100 Mb/s mode.
4.2 100BASE-TX RECEIVER
The 100BASE-TX receiver consists of several functional
blocks which convert the scrambled MLT-3 125 Mb/s serial
data stream to synchronous 4-bit nibble data that is pro-
vided to the MII. Because the 100BASE-TX TP-PMD is
integrated, the differential input pins, RD±, can be directly
routed from the AC coupling magnetics.
See Figure 7 for a block diagram of the 100BASE-TX
receive function. This provides an overview of each func-
tional block within the 100BASE-TX receive section.
The Receive section consists of the following functional
blocks:
Analog Front End
Digital Signal Processor
Signal Detect
MLT-3 to Binary Decoder
NRZI to NRZ Decoder
Serial to Parallel
Descrambler
Code Group Alignment
—4B/5B Decoder
Link Integrity Monitor

4.2.1 Analog Front End
In addition to the Digital Equalization and Gain Control, the
DP83849ID includes Analog Equalization and Gain Control
in the Analog Front End. The Analog Equalization reduces
the amount of Digital Equalization required in the DSP.
4.2.2 Digital Signal Processor
The Digital Signal Processor includes Adaptive Equaliza-
tion with Gain Control and Base Line Wander Compensa-
tion.

4.2.2.1 Digital Adaptive Equalization and Gain Control
When transmitting data at high speeds over copper twisted
pair cable, frequency dependent attenuation becomes a
concern. In high-speed twisted pair signalling, the fre-
quency content of the transmitted signal can vary greatly
during normal operation based primarily on the random-
ness of the scrambled data stream. This variation in signal
attenuation caused by frequency variations must be com-
pensated 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 cable lengths and cable types depending on the
installed environment. The selection of long cable lengths
for a given implementation, requires significant compensa-
tion which will over-compensate for shorter, less attenuat-
ing lengths. Conversely, the selection of short or
intermediate cable lengths requiring less compensation will
cause serious under-compensation for longer length
cables. The compensation or equalization must be adap-
tive to ensure proper conditioning of the received signal
independent of the cable length.
The DP83849ID utilizes an extremely robust equalization
scheme referred as ‘Digital Adaptive Equalization.’
The Digital Equalizer removes ISI (inter symbol interfer-
ence) from the receive data stream by continuously adapt-
ing to provide a filter with the inverse frequency response
of the channel. Equalization is combined with an adaptive
gain control stage. This enables the receive 'eye pattern' to
be opened sufficiently to allow very reliable data recovery.
The curves given in Figure 9 illustrate attenuation at certain
frequencies for given cable lengths. This is derived from
the worst case frequency vs. attenuation figures as speci-
fied in the EIA/TIA Bulletin TSB-36. These curves indicate
the significant variations in signal attenuation that must be
compensated for by the receive adaptive equalization cir-
cuit.

DP83849ID
4.2.2.2 Base Line Wander Compensation
The DP83849ID is completely ANSI TP-PMD compliant
and includes Base Line Wander (BLW) compensation. The
BLW compensation block can successfully recover the TP-
PMD defined “killer” pattern.
BLW can generally be defined as the change in the aver-
age DC content, relatively short period over time, of an AC
coupled digital transmission over a given transmission
medium. (i.e., copper wire).
BLW results from the interaction between the low fre-
quency components of a transmitted bit stream and the fre-
quency response of the AC coupling component(s) within
the transmission system. If the low frequency content of
the digital bit stream goes below the low frequency pole of
the AC coupling transformers then the droop characteris-
tics of the transformers will dominate resulting in potentially
serious BLW.
The digital oscilloscope plot provided in Figure 10 illus-
trates the severity of the BLW event that can theoretically
be generated during 100BASE-TX packet transmission.
This event consists of approximately 800 mV of DC offset
for a period of 120 µs. Left uncompensated, events such as
this can cause packet loss.
4.2.3 Signal Detect
The signal detect function of the DP83849ID is incorpo-
rated to meet the specifications mandated by the ANSI
FDDI TP-PMD Standard as well as the IEEE 802.3
100BASE-TX Standard for both voltage thresholds and tim-
ing parameters.
Note that the reception of normal 10BASE-T link pulses
and fast link pulses per IEEE 802.3u Auto-Negotiation by
the 100BASE-TX receiver do not cause the DP83849ID to
assert signal detect.
4.2.4 MLT-3 to NRZI Decoder
The DP83849ID decodes the MLT-3 information from the
Digital Adaptive Equalizer block to binary NRZI data.
4.2.5 NRZI to NRZ
In a typical application, the NRZI to NRZ decoder is
required in order to present NRZ formatted data to the
descrambler.
4.2.6 Serial to Parallel
The 100BASE-TX receiver includes a Serial to Parallel
converter which supplies 5-bit wide data symbols to the
PCS Rx state machine.
Figure 10. 100BASE-TX BLW Event
www.national.com 32
DP83849ID
4.2.7 Descrambler
A serial descrambler is used to de-scramble the received
NRZ data. The descrambler has to generate an identical
data scrambling sequence (N) in order to recover the origi-
nal unscrambled data (UD) from the scrambled data (SD)
as represented in the equations:
Synchronization of the descrambler to the original scram-
bling sequence (N) is achieved based on the knowledge
that the incoming scrambled data stream consists of
scrambled IDLE data. After the descrambler has recog-
nized 12 consecutive IDLE code-groups, where an
unscrambled IDLE code-group in 5B NRZ is equal to five
consecutive ones (11111), it will synchronize to the receive
data stream and generate unscrambled data in the form of
unaligned 5B code-groups.
In order to maintain synchronization, the descrambler must
continuously monitor the validity of the unscrambled data
that it generates. To ensure this, a line state monitor and a
hold timer are used to constantly monitor the synchroniza-
tion status. Upon synchronization of the descrambler the
hold timer starts a 722 µs countdown. Upon detection of
sufficient IDLE code-groups (58 bit times) within the 722 µs
period, the hold timer will reset and begin a new count-
down. This monitoring operation will continue indefinitely
given a properly operating network connection with good
signal integrity. If the line state monitor does not recognize
sufficient unscrambled IDLE code-groups within the 722 µs
period, the entire descrambler will be forced out of the cur-
rent state of synchronization and reset in order to re-
acquire synchronization.
4.2.8 Code-group Alignment
The code-group alignment module operates on unaligned
5-bit data from the descrambler (or, if the descrambler is
bypassed, directly from the NRZI/NRZ decoder) and con-
verts it into 5B code-group data (5 bits). Code-group align-
ment occurs after the J/K code-group pair is detected.
Once the J/K code-group pair (11000 10001) is detected,
subsequent data is aligned on a fixed boundary.
4.2.9 4B/5B Decoder
The code-group decoder functions as a look up table that
translates incoming 5B code-groups into 4B nibbles. The
code-group decoder first detects the J/K code-group pair
preceded by IDLE code-groups and replaces the J/K with
MAC preamble. Specifically, the J/K 10-bit code-group pair
is replaced by the nibble pair (0101 0101). All subsequent
5B code-groups are converted to the corresponding 4B
nibbles for the duration of the entire packet. This conver-
sion ceases upon the detection of the T/R code-group pair
denoting the End of Stream Delimiter (ESD) or with the
reception of a minimum of two IDLE code-groups.
4.2.10 100BASE-TX Link Integrity Monitor
The 100 Base TX Link monitor ensures that a valid and sta-
ble link is established before enabling both the Transmit
and Receive PCS layer.
Signal detect must be valid for 395us to allow the link mon-
itor to enter the 'Link Up' state, and enable the transmit and
receive functions.
4.2.11 Bad SSD Detection
A Bad Start of Stream Delimiter (Bad SSD) is any transition
from consecutive idle code-groups to non-idle code-groups
which is not prefixed by the code-group pair /J/K.
If this condition is detected, the DP83849ID will assert
RX_ER and present RXD[3:0] = 1110 to the MII for the
cycles that correspond to received 5B code-groups until at
least two IDLE code groups are detected. In addition, the
False Carrier Sense Counter register (FCSCR) will be
incremented by one.
Once at least two IDLE code groups are detected, RX_ER
and CRS become de-asserted.
4.3 100BASE-FX Operation
The DP83849ID provides IEEE 802.3 compliant 100BASE-
FX operation. Configuration of FX mode is via strap option,
or through the register interface.
4.3.1 100BASE-FX Transmit
In 100BASE-FX mode, the device Transmit Pins connect to
an industry standard Fiber Transceiver with PECL signal-
ling through a capacitively coupled circuit.
In FX mode, the device bypasses the Scrambler and the
MLT3 encoder. This allows for the transmission of serial-
ized 5B4B encoded NRZI data at 125MHz.
The only added functionality from 100BASE-TX is the sup-
port for Far-End Fault data generation.
4.3.2 100BASE-FX Receive
In 100BASE-FX mode, the device Receive pins connect to
an industry standard Fiber Transceiver with PECL signal-
ling through a capacitively coupled circuit.
In FX mode, the device bypasses MLT3 Decoder and the
Descrambler. This allows for the reception of serialized
5B4B encoded NRZI data at 125MHz.
The only added functionality for 100BASE-FX from
100BASE-TX is the support of Far-End Fault detection.
UD SD N()=
SD UD N()=
33 www.national.com
DP83849ID
4.3.3 Far-End Fault
Since 100BASE-FX does not support Auto-Negotiation, a
Far-End Fault facility is included which allows for detection
of link failures.
When no signal is being received as determined by the
Signal Detect function, the device sends a Far-End Fault
indication to the far-end peer. The Far-End Fault indication
is comprised of 3 or more repeating cycles, each consisting
of 84 one’s followed by 1 zero. The pattern is such that it
will not satisfy the 100BASE-X carrier sense mechanism,
but is easily detected as the Fault indication. The pattern
will be transparent to devices that do not support Far-End
Fault.
The Far-End Fault detection process continuously monitors
the receive data stream for the Far-End Fault indication.
When detected, the Link Monitor is forced to deassert Link
status. This causes the device to transmit IDLE’s on its
transmit path.
4.4 10BASE-T TRANSCEIVER MODULE
The 10BASE-T Transceiver Module is IEEE 802.3 compli-
ant. It includes the receiver, transmitter, collision, heart-
beat, loopback, jabber, and link integrity functions, as
defined in the standard. An external filter is not required on
the 10BASE-T interface since this is integrated inside the
DP83849ID. This section focuses on the general 10BASE-
T system level operation.
4.4.1 Operational Modes
The DP83849ID has two basic 10BASE-T operational
modes:
Half Duplex mode
Full Duplex mode
Half Duplex Mode
In Half Duplex mode the DP83849ID functions as a stan-
dard IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T transceiver supporting the
CSMA/CD protocol.
Full Duplex Mode
In Full Duplex mode the DP83849ID is capable of simulta-
neously transmitting and receiving without asserting the
collision signal. The DP83849ID's 10 Mb/s ENDEC is
designed to encode and decode simultaneously.
4.4.2 Smart Squelch
The smart squelch is responsible for determining when
valid data is present on the differential receive inputs. The
DP83849ID implements an intelligent receive squelch to
ensure that impulse noise on the receive inputs will not be
mistaken for a valid signal. Smart squelch operation is
independent of the 10BASE-T operational mode.
The squelch circuitry employs a combination of amplitude
and timing measurements (as specified in the IEEE 802.3
10BSE-T standard) to determine the validity of data on the
twisted pair inputs (refer to Figure 11).
The signal at the start of a packet is checked by the smart
squelch and any pulses not exceeding the squelch level
(either positive or negative, depending upon polarity) will
be rejected. Once this first squelch level is overcome cor-
rectly, the opposite squelch level must then be exceeded
within 150 ns. Finally the signal must again exceed the
original squelch level within 150 ns to ensure that the input
waveform will not be rejected. This checking procedure
results in the loss of typically three preamble bits at the
beginning of each packet.
Only after all these conditions have been satisfied will a
control signal be generated to indicate to the remainder of
the circuitry that valid data is present. At this time, the
smart squelch circuitry is reset.
Valid data is considered to be present until the squelch
level has not been generated for a time longer than 150 ns,
indicating the End of Packet. Once good data has been
detected, the squelch levels are reduced to minimize the
effect of noise causing premature End of Packet detection.

4.4.3 Collision Detection and SQE
When in Half Duplex, a 10BASE-T collision is detected
when the receive and transmit channels are active simulta-
neously. Collisions are reported by the COL signal on the
MII. Collisions are also reported when a jabber condition is
detected.
The COL signal remains set for the duration of the collision.
If the PHY is receiving when a collision is detected it is
reported immediately (through the COL pin).
When heartbeat is enabled, approximately 1 µs after the
transmission of each packet, a Signal Quality Error (SQE)
signal of approximately 10-bit times is generated to indi-
cate successful transmission. SQE is reported as a pulse
on the COL signal of the MII.
The SQE test is inhibited when the PHY is set in full duplex
mode. SQE can also be inhibited by setting the
HEARTBEAT_DIS bit in the 10BTSCR register.
4.4.4 Carrier Sense
Carrier Sense (CRS) may be asserted due to receive activ-
ity once valid data is detected via the squelch function.
For 10 Mb/s Half Duplex operation, CRS is asserted during
either packet transmission or reception.
For 10 Mb/s Full Duplex operation, CRS is asserted only
during receive activity.
CRS is deasserted following an end of packet.
4.4.5 Normal Link Pulse Detection/Generation
The link pulse generator produces pulses as defined in the
IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T standard. Each link pulse is nomi-
nally 100 ns in duration and transmitted every 16 ms in the
absence of transmit data.
Link pulses are used to check the integrity of the connec-
tion with the remote end. If valid link pulses are not
received, the link detector disables the 10BASE-T twisted
pair transmitter, receiver and collision detection functions.
When the link integrity function is disabled
(FORCE_LINK_10 of the 10BTSCR register), a good link is
forced and the 10BASE-T transceiver will operate regard-
less of the presence of link pulses.
4.4.6 Jabber Function
The jabber function monitors the DP83849ID's output and
disables the transmitter if it attempts to transmit a packet of
longer than legal size. A jabber timer monitors the transmit-
ter and disables the transmission if the transmitter is active
for approximately 85 ms.
Once disabled by the Jabber function, the transmitter stays
disabled for the entire time that the ENDEC module's inter-
nal transmit enable is asserted. This signal has to be de-
asserted for approximately 500 ms (the “unjab” time)
before the Jabber function re-enables the transmit outputs.
The Jabber function is only relevant in 10BASE-T mode.
4.4.7 Automatic Link Polarity Detection and Correction
The DP83849ID's 10BASE-T transceiver module incorpo-
rates an automatic link polarity detection circuit. When
three consecutive inverted link pulses are received, bad
polarity is reported.
A polarity reversal can be caused by a wiring error at either
end of the cable, usually at the Main Distribution Frame
(MDF) or patch panel in the wiring closet.
The bad polarity condition is latched in the 10BTSCR regis-
ter. The DP83849ID's 10BASE-T transceiver module cor-
rects for this error internally and will continue to decode
received data correctly. This eliminates the need to correct
the wiring error immediately.
4.4.8 Transmit and Receive Filtering
External 10BASE-T filters are not required when using the
DP83849ID, as the required signal conditioning is inte-
grated into the device.
Only isolation transformers and impedance matching resis-
tors are required for the 10BASE-T transmit and receive
interface. The internal transmit filtering ensures that all the
harmonics in the transmit signal are attenuated by at least
30 dB.
4.4.9 Transmitter
The encoder begins operation when the Transmit Enable
input (TX_EN) goes high and converts NRZ data to pre-
emphasized Manchester data for the transceiver. For the
duration of TX_EN, the serialized Transmit Data (TXD) is
encoded for the transmit-driver pair (PMD Output Pair).
TXD must be valid on the rising edge of Transmit Clock
(TX_CLK). Transmission ends when TX_EN deasserts.
The last transition is always positive; it occurs at the center
of the bit cell if the last bit is a one, or at the end of the bit
cell if the last bit is a zero.
4.4.10 Receiver
The decoder detects the end of a frame when no additional
mid-bit transitions are detected. Within one and a half bit
times after the last bit, carrier sense is de-asserted.
Receive clock stays active for five more bit times after CRS
goes low, to guarantee the receive timings of the controller.

5.3 ESD Protection
Typically, ESD precautions are predominantly in effect
when handling the devices or board before being installed
in a system. In those cases, strict handling procedures
need be implemented during the manufacturing process to
greatly reduce the occurrences of catastrophic ESD
events. After the system is assembled, internal compo-
nents are less sensitive from ESD events.
The network interface pins are more susceptible to ESD
events.
5.4 Clock In (X1) Requirements
The DP83849ID supports an external CMOS level oscilla-
tor source or a crystal resonator device.
Oscillator
If an external clock source is used, X1 should be tied to the
clock source and X2 should be left floating.
Specifications for CMOS oscillators: 25 MHz in MII Mode
and 50 MHz in RMII Mode are listed in Table 14 and Table
15.
Crystal
A 25 MHz, parallel, 20 pF load crystal resonator should be
used if a crystal source is desired. Figure 14 shows a typi-
cal connection for a crystal resonator circuit. The load
capacitor values will vary with the crystal vendors; check
with the vendor for the recommended loads.
The oscillator circuit is designed to drive a parallel reso-
nance AT cut crystal with a minimum drive level of 100µW
and a maximum of 500µW. If a crystal is specified for a
lower drive level, a current limiting resistor should be
placed in series between X2 and the crystal.
As a starting point for evaluating an oscillator circuit, if the
requirements for the crystal are not known, CL1 and CL2
should be set at 33 pF, and R1 should be set at 0Ω.
Specification for 25 MHz crystal are listed in Table 16.

5.5 Power Feedback Circuit
To ensure correct operation for the DP83849ID, parallel
caps with values of 10 µF and 0.1 µF should be placed
close to pin 31 (PFBOUT) of the device. Pin 7 (PFBIN1),
pin 28 (PFBIN2), pin 34 (PFBIN3) and pin 54 (PFBIN4)
must be connected to pin 31 (PFBOUT), each pin requires
a small capacitor (.1 µF). See Figure 15 below for proper
connections.

5.6 Power Down/Interrupt
The Power Down and Interrupt functions are multiplexed
on pin 18 and pin 44 of the device. By default, this pin func-
tions as a power down input and the interrupt function is
disabled. Setting bit 0 (INT_OE) of MICR (11h) will config-
ure the pin as an active low interrupt output. Ports A and B
can be powered down individually, using the separate
PWRDOWN_INT_A and PWRDOWN_INT_B pins.
5.6.1 Power Down Control Mode
The PWRDOWN_INT pins can be asserted low to put the
device in a Power Down mode. This is equivalent to setting
bit 11 (Power Down) in the Basic Mode Control Register,
BMCR (00h). An external control signal can be used to
drive the pin low, overcoming the weak internal pull-up
resistor. Alternatively, the device can be configured to ini-
tialize into a Power Down state by use of an external pull-
down resistor on the PWRDOWN_INT pin. Since the
device will still respond to management register accesses,
setting the INT_OE bit in the MICR register will disable the
PWRDOWN_INT input, allowing the device to exit the
Power Down state.
5.6.2 Interrupt Mechanisms
Since each port has a separate interrupt pin, the interrupts
can be connected individually or may be combined in a
wired-OR fashion. If the interrupts share a single connec-
tion, each port status should be checked following an inter-
rupt.
The interrupt function is controlled via register access. All
interrupt sources are disabled by default. Setting bit 1
(INTEN) of MICR (11h) will enable interrupts to be output,
dependent on the interrupt mask set in the lower byte of
the MISR (12h). The PWRDOWN_INT pin is asynchro-
nously asserted low when an interrupt condition occurs.
The source of the interrupt can be determined by reading
the upper byte of the MISR. One or more bits in the MISR
will be set, denoting all currently pending interrupts. Read-
ing of the MISR clears ALL pending interrupts.
Example: To generate an interrupt on a change of link sta-
tus or on a change of energy detect power state, the steps
would be:
Write 0003h to MICR to set INTEN and INT_OE
Write 0060h to MISR to set ED_INT_EN and
LINK_INT_EN
Monitor PWRDOWN_INT pin
When PWRDOWN_INT pin asserts low, the user would
read the MISR register to see if the ED_INT or LINK_INT
bits are set, i.e. which source caused the interrupt. After
reading the MISR, the interrupt bits should clear and the
PWRDOWN_INT pin will deassert.
5.7 Energy Detect Mode
When Energy Detect is enabled and there is no activity on
the cable, the DP83849ID will remain in a low power mode
while monitoring the transmission line. Activity on the line
will cause the DP83849ID to go through a normal power up
sequence. Regardless of cable activity, the DP83849ID will
occasionally wake up the transmitter to put ED pulses on
the line, but will otherwise draw as little power as possible.
Energy detect functionality is controlled via register Energy
Detect Control (EDCR), address 1Dh.
5.8 Link Diagnostic Capabilities
The DP83849ID contains several system diagnostic capa-
bilities for evaluating link quality and detecting potential
cabling faults in Twisted Pair cabling. Software configura-
tion is available through the Link Diagnostics Registers -
Page 2 which can be selected via Page Select Register
(PAGESEL), address 13h. These capabilities include:
Linked Cable Status
Link Quality Monitor
TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) Cable Diagnostics
5.8.1 Linked Cable Status
In an active connection with a valid link status, the following
diagnostic capabilities are available:
Polarity reversal
Cable swap (MDI vs MDIX) detection
100Mb Cable Length Estimation
Frequency offset relative to link partner
Cable Signal Quality Estimation
5.8.1.1 Polarity Reversal
The DP83849ID detects polarity reversal by detecting neg-
ative link pulses. The Polarity indication is available in bit
12 of the PHYSTS (10h) or bit 4 of the 10BTSCR (1Ah).
Inverted polarity indicates the positive and negative con-
ductors in the receive pair are swapped. Since polarity is
corrected by the receiver, this does not necessarily indicate
a functional problem in the cable.
Since the polarity indication is dependent on link pulses
from the link partner, polarity indication is only valid in
10Mb modes of operation, or in 100Mb Auto-Negotiated
mode. Polarity indication is not available in 100Mb forced
mode of operation or in a parallel detected 100Mb mode.
5.8.1.2 Cable Swap Indication
As part of Auto-Negotiation, the DP83849ID has the ability
(using Auto-MDIX) to automatically detect a cable with
swapped MDI pairs and select the appropriate pairs for
transmitting and receiving data. Normal operation is
termed MDI, while crossed operation is MDIX. The MDIX
status can be read from bit 14 of the PHYSTS (10h).
www.national.com 40
DP83849ID
5.8.1.3 100MB Cable Length Estimation
The DP83849ID provides a method of estimating cable
length based on electrical characteristics of the 100Mb
Link. This essentially provides an effective cable length
rather than a measurement of the physical cable length.
The cable length estimation is only available in 100Mb
mode of operation with a valid Link status. The cable
length estimation is available at the Link Diagnostics Reg-
isters - Page 2, register 100Mb Length Detect
(LEN100_DET), address 14h.
5.8.1.4 Frequency Offset Relative to Link Partner
As part of the 100Mb clock recovery process, the DSP
implementation provides a frequency control parameter.
This value may be used to indicate the frequency offset of
the device relative to the link partner. This operation is only
available in 100Mb operation with a valid link status. The
frequency offset can be determined using the register
100Mb Frequency Offset Indication (FREQ100), address
15h, of the Link Diagnostics Registers - Page 2.
Two different versions of the Frequency Offset may be
monitored through bits [7:0] of register FREQ100 (15h).
The first is the long-term Frequency Offset. The second is
the current Frequency Control value, which includes short-
term phase adjustments and can provide information on
the amount of jitter in the system.
5.8.1.5 Cable Signal Quality Estimation
The cable signal quality estimator keeps a simple tracking
of results of the DSP and can be used to generate an
approximate Signal-to-Noise Ratio for the 100Mb receiver.
This information is available to software through the Link
Diagnostics Registers - Page 2: Variance Control
(VAR_CTRL), address 1Ah and Data (VAR_DATA),
address 1Bh.
The variance computation times (VAR_TIMER) can be
chosen from the set of {2, 4, 6, 8} ms. The 32-bit variance
sum can be read by two consecutive reads of the
VAR_DATA register. This sum can be used to compute an
SNR estimate by software using the following equation:
SNR = 10log10((37748736 * VAR_TIMER) / Variance).
5.8.2 Link Quality Monitor
The Link Quality Monitor allows a method to generate an
alarm when the DSP adaption strays from a programmable
window. This could occur due to changes in the cable
which could indicate a potential problem. Software can
program thresholds for the following DSP parameters to be
used to interrupt the system:
Digital Equalizer C1 Coefficient (DEQ C1)
Digital Adaptive Gain Control (DAGC)
Digital Base-Line Wander Control (DBLW)
Recovered Clock Long-Term Frequency Offset (FREQ)
Recovered Clock Frequency Control (FC)
Software is expected to read initial adapted values and
then program the thresholds based on an expected valid
range. This mechanism takes advantage of the fact that
the DSP adaption should remain in a relatively small range
once a valid link has been established.
5.8.2.1 Link Quality Monitor Control and Status
Control of the Link Quality Monitor is done through the Link
Quality Monitor Register (LQMR), address 1Dh and the
Link Quality Data Register (LQDR), address 1Bh of the
Link Diagnostics Registers - Page 2. The LQMR register
includes a global enable to enable the Link Quality Monitor
function. In addition, it provides warning status from both
high and low thresholds for each of the monitored parame-
ters. Note that individual low or high parameter threshold
comparisons can be disabled by setting to the minimum or
maximum values.
To allow the Link Quality Monitor to interrupt the system,
the Interrupt must be enabled through the interrupt control
registers, MICR (11h) and MISR (12h).
5.8.2.2 Checking Current Parameter Values
Prior to setting Threshold values, it is recommended that
software check current adapted values. The thresholds
may then be set relative to the adapted values. The current
adapted values can be read using the LQDR register by
setting the Sample_Param bit [13] of LQDR, address
(1Eh).
For example, to read the DBLW current value:
1. Write 2400h to LQDR (1Eh) to set the Sample_Param
bit and set the LQ_PARAM_SEL[2:0] to 010.
2. Read LQDR (1Eh). Current DBLW value is returned
in the low 8 bits.
5.8.2.3 Threshold Control
The LQDR (1Eh) register also provides a method of pro-
gramming high and low thresholds for each of the four
parameters that can be monitored. The register imple-
ments an indirect read/write mechanism.
Writes are accomplished by writing data, address, and a
write strobe to the register. Reads are accomplished by
writing the address to the register, and reading back the
value of the selected threshold. Setting thresholds to the
maximum or minimum values will disable the threshold
comparison since values have to exceed the threshold to
generate a warning condition.
Warnings are not generated if the parameter is equal to the
threshold. By default, all thresholds are disabled by setting
to the min or max values. The following table shows the
four parameters and range of values:

DP83849ID
Table 17. Link Quality Monitor Parameter Ranges
5.8.3 TDR Cable Diagnostics
The DP83849ID implements a Time Domain Reflectometry
(TDR) method of cable length measurement and evalua-
tion which can be used to evaluate a connected twisted
pair cable. The TDR implementation involves sending a
pulse out on either the Transmit or Receive conductor pair
and observing the results on either pair. By observing the
types and strength of reflections on each pair, software can
determine the following:
—Cable short
Cable open
Distance to fault
Identify which pair has a fault
Pair skew
The TDR cable diagnostics works best in certain condi-
tions. For example, an unterminated cable provides a
good reflection for measuring cable length, while a cable
with an ideal termination to an unpowered partner may pro-
vide no reflection at all.
5.8.3.1 TDR Pulse Generator
The TDR implementation can send two types of TDR
pulses. The first option is to send 50ns or 100ns link
pulses from the 10Mb Common Driver. The second option
is to send pulses from the 100Mb Common Driver in 8ns
increments up to 56ns in width. The 100Mb pulses will
alternate between positive and negative pulses. The
shorter pulses provide better ability to measure short cable
lengths, especially since they will limit overlap between the
transmitted pulse and a reflected pulse. The longer pulses
may provide better measurements of long cable lengths.
In addition, if the pulse width is programmed to 0, no pulse
will be sent, but monitor circuit will still be activated. This
allows sampling of background data to provide a baseline
for analysis.
5.8.3.2 TDR Pulse Monitor
The TDR function monitors data from the Analog to Digital
Converter (ADC) to detect both peak values and values
above a programmable threshold. It can be programmed
to detect maximum or minimum values. In addition, it
records the time, in 8ns intervals, at which the peak or
threshold value first occurs.
The TDR monitor implements a timer that starts when the
pulse is transmitted. A window may be enabled to qualify
incoming data to look for response only in a desired range.
This is especially useful for eliminating the transmitted
pulse, but also may be used to look for multiple reflections.
5.8.3.3 TDR Control Interface
The TDR Control interface is implemented in the Link Diag-
nostics Registers - Page 2 through TDR Control
(TDR_CTRL), address 16h and TDR Window (TDR_WIN),
address 17h. The following basic controls are:
TDR Enable: Enable bit 15 of TDR_CTRL (16h) to allow
the TDR function. This bypasses normal operation and
gives control of the CD10 and CD100 block to the TDR
function.
TDR Send Pulse: Enable bit 11 of TDR_CTRL (16h) to
send the TDR pulse and starts the TDR Monitor.
The following Transmit mode controls are available:
Transmit Mode: Enables use of 10Mb Link pulses from
the 10Mb Common Driver or data pulses from the 100Mb
Common Driver by enabling TDR 100Mb, bit 14 of
TDR_CRTL (16h).
Transmit Pulse Width: Bits [10:8] of TDR_CTRL (16h)
allows sending of 0 to 7 clock width pulses. Actual puls-
es are dependent on the transmit mode. If Pulse Width
is set to 0, then no pulse will be sent.
Transmit Channel Select: The transmitter can send
pulses down either the transmit pair or the receive pair
by enabling bit 13 of TDR_CTRL (16h). Default value is
to select the transmit pair.
The following Receive mode controls are available:
Min/Max Mode Select: Bit 7 of TDR_CTRL (16h) con-
trols the TDR Monitor operation. In default mode, the
monitor will detect maximum (positive) values. In Min
mode, the monitor will detect minimum (negative) val-
ues.
Receive Channel Select: The receiver can monitor ei-
ther the transmit pair or the receive pair by enabling bit
12 of TDR_CTRL (16h). Default value is to select the
transmit pair.

DP83849ID
Receive Window: The receiver can monitor receive
data within a programmable window using the TDR Win-
dow Register (TDR_WIN), address 17h. The window is
controlled by two register values: TDR Start Window, bits
[15:8] of TDR_WIN (17h) and TDR Stop Window, bits
[7:0] of TDR_WIN (17h). The TDR Start Window indi-
cates the first clock to start sampling. The TDR Stop
Window indicates the last clock to sample. By default,
the full window is enabled, with Start set to 0 and Stop
set to 255. The window range is in 8ns clock increments,
so the maximum window size is 2048ns.
5.8.3.4 TDR Results
The TDR function monitors data from the Analog to Digital
Converter (ADC) to detect both peak values and values
above a programmable threshold. It can be programmed
to detect maximum or minimum values. In addition, it
records the time, in 8ns intervals, at which the peak or
threshold value first occurs. The results of a TDR peak and
threshold measurement are available in the TDR Peak
Measurement Register (TDR_PEAK), address 18h and
TDR Threshold Measurement Register (TDR_THR),
address 19h. The threshold measurement may be a more
accurate method of measuring the length for longer cables
to provide a better indication of the start of the received
pulse, rather than the peak value.
Software utilizing the TDR function should implement an
algorithm to send TDR pulses and evaluate results. Multi-
ple runs should be used to best qualify any received pulses
as multiple reflections could exist. In addition, when moni-
toring the transmitting pair, the window feature should be
used to disqualify the transmitted pulse. Multiple runs may
also be used to average the values providing more accu-
rate results.
Actual distance measurements are dependent on the
velocity of propagation of the cable. The delay value is typ-
ically on the order of 4.6 to 4.9 ns/m.

DP83849ID
6.0 Reset Operation
The DP83849ID includes an internal power-on reset (POR)
function and does not need to be explicitly reset for normal
operation after power up. If required during normal opera-
tion, the device can be reset by a hardware or software
reset.
6.1 Hardware Reset
A hardware reset is accomplished by applying a low pulse
(TTL level), with a duration of at least 1 µs, to the
RESET_N pin. This will reset the device such that all regis-
ters will be reinitialized to default values and the hardware
configuration values will be re-latched into the device (simi-
lar to the power-up/reset operation).
6.2 Full Software Reset
A full-chip software reset is accomplished by setting the
reset bit (bit 15) of the Basic Mode Control Register
(BMCR). The period from the point in time when the reset
bit is set to the point in time when software reset has con-
cluded is approximately 1 µs.
The software reset will reset the device such that all regis-
ters will be reset to default values and the hardware config-
uration values will be maintained. Software driver code
must wait 3 µs following a software reset before allowing
further serial MII operations with the DP83849ID.
6.3 Soft Reset
A partial software reset can be initiated by setting the Soft
Reset bit (bit 9) in the PHYCR2 Register. Setting this bit will
reset all transmit and receive operations, but will not reset
the register space. All register configurations will be pre-
served. Register space will remain available following a
Soft Reset.

7.1.1 Basic Mode Control Register (BMCR)
Table 20. Basic Mode Control Register (BMCR), address 00h
Bit Bit Name Default Description
15 RESET 0, RW/SC Reset:
1 = Initiate software Reset / Reset in Process.
0 = Normal operation.
This bit, which is self-clearing, returns a value of one until the reset
process is complete. The configuration is re-strapped.
14 LOOPBACK 0, RW Loopback:
1 = Loopback enabled.
0 = Normal operation.
The loopback function enables MII transmit data to be routed to the MII
receive data path.
Setting this bit may cause the descrambler to lose synchronization and
produce a 500 µs “dead timebefore any valid data will appear at the
MII receive outputs.
13 SPEED SELEC-
TION
Strap, RW Speed Select:
When auto-negotiation is disabled writing to this bit allows the port
speed to be selected.
1 = 100 Mb/s.
0 = 10 Mb/s.
12 AUTO-NEGOTI-
ATION
ENABLE
Strap, RW Auto-Negotiation Enable:
Strap controls initial value at reset.
If FX is enabled (FX_EN = 1), then this bit will be reset to 0.
1 = Auto-Negotiation Enabled - bits 8 and 13 of this register are ig-
nored when this bit is set.
0 = Auto-Negotiation Disabled - bits 8 and 13 determine the port speed
and duplex mode.
11 POWER DOWN 0, RW Power Down:
1 = Power down.
0 = Normal operation.
Setting this bit powers down the PHY. Only the register block is en-
abled during a power down condition. This bit is OR’d with the input
from the PWRDOWN_INT pin. When the active low PWRDOWN_INT
pin is asserted, this bit will be set.
10 ISOLATE 0, RW Isolate:
1 = Isolates the Port from the MII with the exception of the serial man-
agement.
0 = Normal operation.
9RESTART
AUTO-NEGOTI-
ATION
0, RW/SC Restart Auto-Negotiation:
1 = Restart Auto-Negotiation. Re-initiates the Auto-Negotiation pro-
cess. If Auto-Negotiation is disabled (bit 12 = 0), this bit is ignored. This
bit is self-clearing and will return a value of 1 until Auto-Negotiation is
initiated, whereupon it will self-clear. Operation of the Auto-Negotiation
process is not affected by the management entity clearing this bit.
0 = Normal operation.
8DUPLEX MODE Strap, RW Duplex Mode:
When auto-negotiation is disabled writing to this bit allows the port Du-
plex capability to be selected.
1 = Full Duplex operation.
0 = Half Duplex operation.
www.national.com 50
DP83849ID
7COLLISION
TEST
0, RW Collision Test:
1 = Collision test enabled.
0 = Normal operation.
When set, this bit will cause the COL signal to be asserted in response
to the assertion of TX_EN within 512-bit times. The COL signal will be
de-asserted within 4-bit times in response to the de-assertion of
TX_EN.
6:0 RESERVED 0, RO RESERVED: Write ignored, read as 0.

7.1.2 Basic Mode Status Register (BMSR)
Table 21. Basic Mode Status Register (BMSR), address 01h
Bit Bit Name Default Description
15 100BASE-T4 0, RO/P 100BASE-T4 Capable:
0 = Device not able to perform 100BASE-T4 mode.
14 100BASE-TX
FULL DUPLEX
1, RO/P 100BASE-TX Full Duplex Capable:
1 = Device able to perform 100BASE-TX in full duplex mode.
13 100BASE-TX
HALF DUPLEX
1, RO/P 100BASE-TX Half Duplex Capable:
1 = Device able to perform 100BASE-TX in half duplex mode.
12 10BASE-T
FULL DUPLEX
1, RO/P 10BASE-T Full Duplex Capable:
1 = Device able to perform 10BASE-T in full duplex mode.
11 10BASE-T
HALF DUPLEX
1, RO/P 10BASE-T Half Duplex Capable:
1 = Device able to perform 10BASE-T in half duplex mode.
10:7 RESERVED 0, RO RESERVED: Write as 0, read as 0.
6MF PREAMBLE
SUPPRESSION
1, RO/P Preamble suppression Capable:
1 = Device able to perform management transaction with preamble
suppressed, 32-bits of preamble needed only once after reset, invalid
opcode or invalid turnaround.
0 = Normal management operation.
5AUTO-NEGOTIATION
COMPLETE
0, RO Auto-Negotiation Complete:
1 = Auto-Negotiation process complete.
0 = Auto-Negotiation process not complete.
4REMOTE FAULT 0, RO/LH Remote Fault:
1 = Remote Fault condition detected (cleared on read or by reset).
Fault criteria: Far End Fault Indication or notification from Link Part-
ner of Remote Fault.
0 = No remote fault condition detected.
3AUTO-NEGOTIATION
ABILITY
1, RO/P Auto Negotiation Ability:
1 = Device is able to perform Auto-Negotiation.
0 = Device is not able to perform Auto-Negotiation.
2LINK STATUS 0, RO/LL Link Status:
1 = Valid link established (for either 10 or 100 Mb/s operation).
0 = Link not established.
The criteria for link validity is implementation specific. The occurrence
of a link failure condition will causes the Link Status bit to clear. Once
cleared, this bit may only be set by establishing a good link condition
and a read via the management interface.
1JABBER DETECT 0, RO/LH Jabber Detect: This bit only has meaning in 10 Mb/s mode.
1 = Jabber condition detected.
0 = No Jabber.
This bit is implemented with a latching function, such that the occur-
rence of a jabber condition causes it to set until it is cleared by a read
to this register by the management interface or by a reset.
0EXTENDED CAPA-
BILITY
1, RO/P Extended Capability:
1 = Extended register capabilities.
0 = Basic register set capabilities only.

Note: The signal amplitude on PMD Input Pair must be TP-PMD compliant.
8.2.24 100 Mb/s Internal Loopback Timing
Note1: Due to the nature of the descrambler function, all 100BASE-TX Loopback modes will cause an initial “dead-time”
of up to 550 µs during which time no data will be present at the receive MII outputs. The 100BASE-TX timing specified is
based on device delays after the initial 550µs “dead-time”.

8.2.27 RMII Receive Timing
Note: Per the RMII Specification, output delays assume a 25pF load.
Note: CRS_DV is asserted asynchronously in order to minimize latency of control signals through the Phy. CRS_DV may
toggle synchronously at the end of the packet to indicate CRS deassertion.
Note: RX_DV is synchronous to X1. While not part of the RMII specification, this signal is provided to simplify recovery of
receive data.
Note: CRS ON delay is measured from the first bit of the JK symbol on the PMD Receive Pair to initial assertion of
CRS_DV.
Note: CRS_OFF delay is measured from the first bit of the TR symbol on the PMD Receive Pair to initial deassertion of
CRS_DV.
Note: Receive Latency is measured from the first bit of the symbol pair on the PMD Receive Pair. Typical values are with
the Elasticity Buffer set to the default value (01).
