3.8.3 Transmit Level Adjust
The ransmit output current evel s derived rom an nternal
reference voltage and the external resistor on REXT pin.
The transmit level can be adjusted with either (1) the
external resistor on the REXT pin, or (2) the four transmit
level adjust bits n he MI serial port Configuration 1 register
as shown in Table 3. The adjustment range is approxi-
mately -14% to +16% in 2% steps.

3.8.4 Transmit Rise And Fall Time Adjust
The transmit output rise and fall time can be adjusted with
either (1) the two pins TRFADJ[1:0], or (2) the two transmit
rise/fall time adjust bits in the MI serial port Configuration
1. The adjustment range is -0.25 nS to +0.5 nS in 0.25 nS
steps. When the TRFADJ[1:0] pins are set to 1 and 0,
respectively, the rise and fall times are set with the register
bits (with 0 ns as the default). When TRFADJ[1:0] pin are
set to anything other than 10, then the pins control the
transmit rise and fall time as shown in the Pin Description
and the TRFADJ[1:0] bits are disabled.
3.8.5 STP (150 Ohm) Cable Mode
The transmitter can be configured to drive 150 Ohm
shielded twisted pair cable. The STP mode can be
selected by appropriately setting the cable type select bit
in the MI serial port Configuration 1 register. When STP
mode is enabled, the output current is automatically ad-
justed to comply with IEEE 802.3 levels.
3.8.6 Transmit Activity Indication
Transmit activity can be programmed to appear on some
of the PLED[5:0] pins by appropriately setting the pro-
grammable LED output select bits n the MI serial port LED
Configuration 2 register as described in Table 5. When
one or more of the PLED[5:0] pins s programmed to be an
activity or transmit activity detect output, that pin is as-
serted ow or 100 mS every ime a transmit packet occurs.
The PLED[5:0] output is open drain with pullup resistor
and can drive an LED rom VCC or can drive another digital
input.
3.8.7 Transmit Disable
The TP transmitter can be disabled by setting the transmit
disable bit in the MI serial port Configuration 1 register.
When the transmit disable bit is set, the TP transmitter is
forced into the idle state, no data is transmitted, no link
pulses are transmitted, and internal loopback is disabled.
3.8.8 Transmit Powerdown
The TP transmitter can be powered down by setting the
transmit powerdown bit in the MI serial port Configuration
1 register. When the transmit powerdown bit s set, the TP
transmitter is powered down, the TP transmit outputs are
high mpedance, and he rest of he 80220/80221 operates
normally.
3.9 TWISTED PAIR RECEIVER
3.9.1 Receiver - 100 Mbps
The TP receiver detects nput signals from the twisted pair
input and convert it to a digital data bit stream ready for
clock and data recovery. The receiver can reliably detect
data from a 100Base-TX compliant transmitter that has
been passed through 0-100 meters of 100 Ohm category
5 UTP or 150 Ohm STP.
The 100 Mbps receiver consists of an adaptive equalizer,
baseline wander correction circuit, comparators, and MLT-
3 decoder. The TP nputs first go to an adaptive equalizer.
The adaptive equalizer compensates for the low pass
characteristic of the cable, and it has the ability to adapt
and compensate for 0-100 meters of category 5,100 Ohm
UTP or 150 Ohm STP twisted pair cable. The baseline
wander correction circuit restores the DC component of
the input waveform that was removed by external trans-
formers. The comparators convert the equalized signal
back to digital levels and are used to qualify the data with
the squelch circuit. The MLT-3 decoder takes the three
