Transmitter Timing and Operation

A 20 MHz fundamental mode crystal oscillator provides

the basic timing reference for the MENDEC portion of

the PCnet-PCI II controller. The crystal frequency is

divided by two to create the internal transmit clock refer-

ence. Both the 10 MHz and 20 MHz clocks are fed into

the Manchester Encoder. The internal transmit clock is

used by the MENDEC to synchronize the Internal Trans-

mit Data (ITXDAT) and Internal Transmit Enable

(ITXEN) from the controller. The internal transmit clock

is also used as a stable bit rate clock by the receive sec-

tion of the MENDEC and controller.

The oscillator requires an external 0.01% timing refer-

ence. If an external crystal is used, the accuracy require-

ments are tighter because allowance for the on-board

parasitics must be made to deliver a final accuracy

of 0.01%.

Transmission is enabled by the controller. As long as the

ITXEN request remains active, the serial output of the

controller will be Manchester encoded and appear at

±. When the internal request is dropped by the con-

troller, the differential transmit outputs go to one of two

idle states, dependent on TSEL in the Mode Register

(CSR15, bit 9):

Table 9. TSEL Effect

TSEL LOW:

The idle state of DO

± yields ZERO

differential to operate transformer-

coupled loads.

TSEL HIGH:

In this idle state, DO+ is positive with

respect to DO– (logical HIGH).

Receiver Path

The principal functions of the receiver are to signal the

PCnet-PCI II controller that there is information on the

receive pair, and separate the incoming Manchester en-

coded data stream into clock and NRZ data.

The receiver section (see the figure below) consists of

two parallel paths. The receive data path is a ZERO

threshold, wide bandwidth line receiver. The carrier path

is an offset threshold bandpass detecting line receiver.

Both receivers share common bias networks to allow

operation over a wide input common mode range.

Input Signal Conditioning

Transient noise pulses at the input data stream are re-

jected by the Noise Rejection Filter. Pulse width rejec-

tion is proportional to transmit data rate.

The Carrier Detection circuitry detects the presence of

an incoming data frame by discerning and rejecting

noise from expected Manchester data, and controls the

stop and start of the phase-lock loop during clock acqui-

sition. Clock acquisition requires a valid Manchester bit

pattern of 1010b to lock onto the incoming message.

When input amplitude and pulse width conditions are

met at DI

±, the internal enable signal from the MENDEC

to controller (IRXEN) is asserted and a clock acquisition

cycle is initiated.

Clock Acquisition

When there is no activity at DI

± (receiver is idle), the re-

ceive oscillator is phase locked to the internal transmit

clock. The first negative clock transition (bit cell center of

first valid Manchester ZERO) after IRXEN is asserted
