Functional Description
(continued)
Receive Path
Receive data and control information are signaled in
10-bit segments. These 10-bit boundaries are delimited
by the SYNC signal. The connected MAC should gen-
erate these SYNC pulses every ten clocks. In
100 Mbits/s mode, each segment represents a new
byte of data. In 10 Mbits/s mode, each segment is
repeated ten times, so every ten segments represents
a new byte of data.
The receive sequence contains all of the information
found on the standard MII receive path. RXD[7:0] con-
vey packet data whenever the RXDV bit is set. During
an interframe gap, RXDV bit is set to 0 and RXD[7:0]
indicate receiver status. Bit RXD5 indicates the validity
of the upper nibble of the last byte of data of the previ-
ous frame. Bit RXD0 indicates an error detected by the
PHY in the previous frame. Both of these bits will be
valid in the segment immediately following a frame, and
will remain valid until the first data segment of the next
frame.
Transmit Data Path
Transmit data and control information are signaled in
10-bit segments similar to the receive path. These
10-bit boundaries are delimited by the SYNC signal.
The connected MAC should generate these SYNC
pulses every ten clocks. In 100 Mbits/s mode, each
new segment represents a new byte of data. In
10 Mbits/s mode, each segment is repeated ten times;
therefore, every ten segments represents a new byte of
data. The PHY can sample one of every ten segments.
The PHY is concerned only with packet data, so there
is no status information passed from the MAC to the
PHY during the interframe gap; this is unlike the
receive side.
Collision Detection
The PHY does not directly indicate that a collision has
occurred. It is left up to the MAC to detect the assertion
of both CRS and TXEN.
