INTER REPEATER DATA :
Nibble data input/output. Transfer data from
the “active” AX88872/3 to all other “inactive” AX88872/3 chips. The bus-
master of the IRD bus is determined by IR_ACT bus arbitration.
INTER REPEATER DATA VALID :
This signal reflects the RX_DV
status of the active port. Used to frame good packets.
INTER REPEATER CLOCK VALID :
All inter repeater signals are
synchronized to the rising edge of this clock.
INTER REPEATER DATA IN/OUT DIRECTION :
This pin indicates the direction of IRD data .
“High” = HIRD[3:0], /HIRD_V , HIRD_CK are Output.
“Low” = HIRD[3:0], /HIRD_V , HIRD_CK are Input.
LOCAL REPEATER ACTIVITY IN/OUT :
the function is the same as
/HIR_ACTO[3:0] but for local repeater activity only.
INTER REPEATER ACTIVITY IN:
These pins perform the same
function as /HIR_ACTO[3:0] when they serve as input function. Then the
/HIR_ACTO[3:0] insert external buffers the input function must be replaced
with /HIR_ACTI [3:0].
INTER REPEATER ACTIVITY IN/OUT:
The local repeater activity
appearance, the signal of the related RID (Repeater ID) will be asserted and
as an output pin. All other pins serve as input pins but except the collision
conditions. When collision occurs , the signal of related (RID-1) pins will
also serve as outputs and will active during local collision period. The
exception case is when RID = 0, then (RID-1) is replaced with (RID+1).
