10Base-T/100Base-TX Integrated PHYceiver
General
Features
The ICS1892, an enhanced version of the ICS 1890, is a
fully integrated, physical-layer device (PHY) that is
compliant with both the 10Base-T and 100Base-TX
CSMA/CD Ethernet Standard, ISO/IEC 8802-3.
• Supports category 5 cables with attenuation in excess of
The ICS1892 incorporates digital signal processing (DSP)
in its Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) sublayer. As a
result, it can transmit and receive data on unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) category 5 cable with attenuation in
excess of 24 dB at 100 MHz. With this ICS-patented
technology, the ICS1892 can virtually eliminate errors from
killer packets.
The ICS1892 supports a broad range of applications: data
terminal equipm ent (netwo rk in terf ace card s and
motherboards), switches, repeaters, bridges, and routers. Its
Media Independent Interface (MII) supports direct
c h i p - t o - c h i p a n d m o t h e r b o a r d - t o - d a u g h t e r b o ar d
connections as well as connections to an MII connector and
cable. The ICS1892 also provides a Serial Management
Interface for exchanging command and status information
with a Station Management (STA) entity.
The ICS1892 Media Dependent Interface (MDI) can be
configured to provide either half- or full-duplex operation at
data rates of 10 MHz or 100 MHz. The MDI configuration
can be done manually (with input pins or control register
settings) or automatically (using the Auto-Negotiation
features). When the ICS1892 Auto-Negotiation sublayer is
enabled, it exchanges technology capability data with its
remote link partner and automatically selects the
highest-performance operating mode they have in common.

Chapter 3 ICS1892 Enhanced Features
Chapter 3 ICS1892 Enhanced Features
The ICS1892 is an enhanced version of the ICS 1890. In contrast to the ICS 1890, the ICS1892 offers
significant improvements in both performance and features while maintaining backward compatibility. The
specific differences between these devices are listed below.
1. The ICS1892 employs an advanced digital signal processing (DSP) architecture that improves the
100Base-TX Receiver performance beyond that of any other PHY in the market. Specifically:
a. The ICS1892 DSP-based, adaptive equalization process allows the ICS1892 to accommodate a
maximum cable attenuation/insertion loss of 29 dB, which is nearly equivalent to the attenuation
loss of a 150-meter Category 5 cable.
b. The ICS1892 DSP-based, baseline-wander correction process virtually eliminates killer packets.
2. The analog 10Base-T Receive Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) of the ICS 1890 is replaced with a digital PLL
in the ICS1892, thereby resulting in lower jitter and improved stability.
3. The ICS 1890 Frequency-Locked Loop (FLL) that is part of the 100Base-TX Clock and Data Recovery
circuitry is replaced with a digital FLL in the ICS1892, also resulting in lower jitter and improved stability.
4. The ICS1892 transmit circuits are improved in contrast to the ICS 1890, resulting in a decrease in the
magnitude of the 10Base-T harmonic content generated during transmission. (See ISO/IEC 8802-3:
1993 clause 8.3.1.3.)
5. The ICS1892 supports the Auto-Negotiation Next Page functions described in IEEE Std 802.3u-1995
clause 28.2.3.4.
6. The ICS1892 supports Management Frame (MF) Preamble Suppression.
7. The ICS1892 provides the Remote Jabber capability.
8. The ICS1892 has an improved version of the ICS 1890 10Base-T Squelch operation.
9. The ICS1892 “seeds” (that is, initializes) the Transmit Stream Cipher Shift register by using the
ICS1892 PHY address from Table 8-16, which minimizes crosstalk and noise in repeater applications.
10. The ICS1892 offers an automatic 10Base-T power-down mode.
11. The enhanced features of the ICS1892 required some modifications to the ICS 1890 Management
Registers. However, the ICS1892 Management Registers are backward-compatible with the ICS 1890
Management Registers. Table 3-1 summarizes the differences between the ICS 1890 and the ICS1892
Management Registers.

Overview of the ICS1892
Chapter 4 Overview of the ICS1892
The ICS1892 is a stream processor. During data transmission, it accepts sequential nibbles from its MAC
(Media Access Control)/Repeater Interface, converts them into a serial bit stream, encodes them, and
transmits them over the medium through an external isolation transformer. When receiving data, the
ICS1892 converts and decodes a serial bit stream (acquired from an isolation transformer that interfaces
with the medium) into sequential nibbles. It subsequently presents these nibbles to its MAC/Repeater
Interface.
The ICS1892 implements the OSI model’s physical layer, consisting of the following, as defined by the
ISO/IEC 8802-3 standard:
•
•
•
•
Physical Coding sublayer (PCS)
Physical Medium Attachment sublayer (PMA)
Physical Medium Dependent sublayer (PMD)
Auto-Negotiation sublayer
The ICS1892 is transparent to the next layer of the OSI model, the link layer. The link layer has two
sublayers: the Logical Link Control sublayer and the MAC sublayer. The ICS1892 can interface directly to
a MAC and offers multiple, configurable modes of operation. Alternately, this configurable interface can be
connected to a repeater, which extends the physical layer of the OSI model.
The ICS1892 transmits framed packets acquired from its MAC/Repeater Interface and receives
encapsulated packets from another PHY, which it translates and presents to its MAC/Repeater Interface.
Note:
As per the ISO/IEC standard, the ICS1892 does not affect, nor is it affected by, the underlying
structure of the MAC/repeater frame it is conveying.

ICS1892 Data Sheet
4.1
Chapter 4
Overview of the ICS1892
100Base-TX Operation
During 100Base-TX data transmission, the ICS1892 accepts packets from a MAC/repeater and inserts
Start-of-Stream Delimiters (SSDs) and End-of-Stream Delimiters (ESDs) into the data stream. The
ICS1892 encapsulates each MAC/repeater frame, including the preamble, with an SSD and an ESD. As
per the ISO/IEC Standard, the ICS1892 replaces the first octet of each MAC preamble with an SSD and
appends an ESD to the end of each MAC/repeater frame.
When receiving data from the medium, the ICS1892 removes each SSD and replaces it with the
pre-defined preamble pattern before presenting the nibbles to its MAC/Repeater Interface. When the
ICS1892 encounters an ESD in the data stream, signifying the end of the frame, it ends the presentation of
nibbles to its MAC/Repeater Interface. Therefore, the local MAC/repeater receives an unaltered copy of the
transmitted frame sent by the remote MAC/repeater.
During periods when MAC frames are being neither transmitted nor received, the ICS1892 signals and
detects the IDLE condition on the Link Segment. In the 100Base-TX mode, the ICS1892 transmit channel
sends a continuous stream of scrambled ones to signify the IDLE condition. Similarly, the ICS1892 receive
channel continually monitors its data stream and looks for a pattern of scrambled ones. The results of this
signaling and monitoring provide the ICS1892 with the means to establish the integrity of the Link Segment
between itself and its remote link partner and informing its Station Management Entity (STA) of the link
status.
For 100M data transmission, the ICS1892 MAC/Repeater Interface can be configured to provide either a
100M Media Independent Interface (MII) or a 100M Symbol Interface. With the Symbol Interface
configuration, the data stream bypasses the ICS1892 Physical Coding sublayer (PCS) and the following
results:
1. The ICS1892 shifts the responsibility of performing the 4B/5B translation to the MAC/repeater. As a
result, the requirement is for a 5-bit data path between the MAC/repeater and the ICS1892.
2. The latency through the ICS1892 reduces. (The ICS1892 provides this 100M Symbol Interface
primarily for repeater applications for which latency is a critical performance parameter.)
4.2
10Base-T Operation
During 10Base-T data transmission, the ICS1892 inserts only the IDL delimiter into the data stream. The
ICS1892 appends the IDL delimiter to the end of each MAC frame. It is not required to insert an SSD-like
delimiter because the 10Base-T preamble already has a Start-of-Frame delimiter (SFD).
When receiving data from the medium (such as a twisted-pair cable), the ICS1892 uses the preamble to
synchronize its receive clock. When the ICS1892 receive clock establishes lock, it presents the preamble
nibbles to its MAC/Repeater Interface. The 10M MAC/Repeater Interface can be configured as either a
10M MII, a 10M Serial Interface, or a Link Pulse Interface.
In 10M operations, during periods when MAC frames are being neither transmitted nor received, the
ICS1892 signals and detects Normal Link Pulses. This action allows the integrity of the Link Segment with
the remote link partner to be established and then reported to the ICS1892’s STA.

Chapter 5
Operating Modes Overview
Chapter 5 Operating Modes Overview
The ICS1892 operating modes and interfaces are configurable with one of two methods. The first
configuration method is by using hardware pins. With this method, the HW/SW (hardware/software) pin
determines whether it is the hardware pins or the register bits that have priority for configuring the ICS1892.
The second – and more typical – configuration method is by using register bits, typically controlled from
software. The register bits are accessible through a standard MII (Media Independent Interface) Serial
Management Port. Even when the MAC/Repeater Interface is not supporting the standard MII Data
Interface, access to the Serial Management Port is provided (that is, operation of the Serial Management
Port is independent of the MAC/Repeater Interface configuration).
The ICS1892 provides a number of configuration functions to support a variety of operations. For example,
the MAC/Repeater Interface can be configured to operate as a 10M MII, a 100M MII, a 100M Symbol
Interface, a 10M Serial Interface, or a Link Pulse Interface. The protocol on the Medium Dependent
Interface (MDI) can be configured to support either 10M or 100M operations in either half-duplex or
full-duplex modes.
The ICS1892 is fully compliant with the ISO/IEC 8802-3 standard, as it pertains to both 10Base-T and
100Base-TX operations. The feature-rich ICS1892 allows easy migration from 10-Mbps to 100-Mbps
operations as well as from systems that require support of both 10M and 100M links.

Chapter 5
Operating Modes Overview
Reset Operations
This section first discusses reset operations in general and then specific ways in which the ICS1892 can be
configured for various reset options.
5.1.1
General Reset Operations
The following reset operations apply to all the specific ways in which the ICS1892 can be reset, which are
discussed in Section 5.1.2, “Specific Reset Operations”.
5.1.1.1
Entering Reset
When the ICS1892 enters a reset condition (either through hardware, power-on reset, or software), it does
the following:
1. Isolates the MAC/Repeater Interface input pins
2. Drives all MAC/Repeater Interface output pins low
3. Tri-states the signals on its Twisted-Pair Transmit pins (TP_TXP and TP_TXN)
4. Initializes all its internal modules and state machines to their default states
5. Enters the power-down state
6. Initializes all internal latching low (LL), latching high (LH), and latching maximum (LMX) Management
Register bits to their default values
5.1.1.2
Exiting Reset
When the ICS1892 exits a reset condition, it does the following:
1. Exits the power-down state
2. Latches the Serial Management Port Address of the ICS1892 into the Extended Control Register, bits
16.10:6. [See Section 8.11.3, “PHY Address (bits 16.10:6)”.]
3. Enables all its internal modules and state machines
4. Sets all Management Register bits to either (1) their default values or (2) the values specified by their
associated ICS1892 input pins, as determined by the HW/SW pin
5. Enables the Twisted-Pair Transmit pins (TP_TXP and TP_TXN)
6. Resynchronizes both its Transmit and Receive Phase-Locked Loops, which provide its transmit clock
(TXCLK) and receive clock (RXCLK)
7. Releases all MAC/Repeater Interface pins, which takes a maximum of 640 ns after the reset condition
is removed
5.1.1.3
Hot Insertion
As with the ICS 1890, the ICS1892 reset design supports ‘hot insertion’ of its MII. (That is, the ICS1892 can
connect its MAC/Repeater Interface to a MAC/repeater while power is already applied to the
MAC/repeater.)

ICS1892
5.1.2
Chapter 5
Operating Modes Overview
Specific Reset Operations
This section discusses the following specific ways that the ICS1892 can be reset:
• Hardware reset (using the RESET* pin)
• Power-on reset (applying power to the ICS1892)
• Software reset (using Control Register bit 0.15)
Note:
5.1.2.1
At the completion of a reset (either hardware, power-on, or software), the ICS1892 sets all
registers to their default values.
Hardware Reset
Entering Hardware Reset
Holding the active-low RESET* pin low for a minimum of five REF_IN clock cycles initiates a hardware
reset (that is, the ICS1892 enters the reset state). During reset, the ICS1892 executes the steps listed in
Section 5.1.1.1, “Entering Reset”.
Exiting Hardware Reset
After the signal on the RESET* pin transitions from a low to a high state, the ICS1892 completes in 640 ns
(that is, in 16 REF_IN clocks) steps 1 through 5, listed in Section 5.1.1.2, “Exiting Reset”. After the first five
steps are completed, the Serial Management Port is ready for normal operations, but this action does not
signify the end of the reset cycle. The reset cycle completes when the transmit clock (TXCLK) and receive
clock (RXCLK) are available, which is typically 53 ms after the RESET* pin goes high. [For details on this
transition, see Section 10.5.17, “Reset: Hardware Reset and Power-Down”.]
Note:
1. The MAC/Repeater Interface is not available for use until the TXCLK and RXCLK are valid.
2. The Control Register bit 0.15 does not represent the status of a hardware reset. It is a self-clearing bit
that is used to initiate a software reset.
5.1.2.2
Power-On Reset
Entering Power-On Reset
When power is applied to the ICS1892, it waits until the potential between VDD and VSS achieves a
minimum voltage of 4.5 VDC before entering reset and executing the steps listed in Section 5.1.1.1,
“Entering Reset”. After entering reset from a power-on condition, the ICS1892 remains in reset for
approximately 20 µs. (For details on this transition, see Section 10.5.16, “Reset: Power-On Reset”.)
Exiting Power-On Reset
The ICS1892 automatically exits reset and performs the same steps as for a hardware reset. (See Section
5.1.1.2, “Exiting Reset”.)
Note:
The only difference between a hardware reset and a power-on reset is that during a power-on
reset, the ICS1892 isolates the RESET* input pin. All other functionality is the same. As with a
hardware reset, the Control Register bit 0.15 does not represent the status of a power-on reset.

ICS1892 Data Sheet
5.1.2.3
Chapter 5
Operating Modes Overview
Software Reset
Entering Software Reset
Initiation of a software reset occurs when a management entity writes a logic one to Control Register bit
0.15. When this write occurs, the ICS1892 enters the reset state for two REF_IN clock cycles.
Note:
Entering a software reset is nearly identical to entering a hardware reset or a power-on reset,
except that during a software-initiated reset, the ICS1892 does not enter the power-down state.
Exiting Software Reset
At the completion of a reset (either hardware, power-on, or software), the ICS1892 sets all registers to their
default values. This action automatically clears (that is, sets equal to logic zero) Control Register bit 0.15,
the software reset bit. Therefore, for a software reset (only), bit 0.15 is a self-clearing bit that indicates the
completion of the reset process.
Note:
1. The RESET* pin is active low but Control Register bit 0.15 is active high.
2. Exiting a software reset is nearly identical to exiting a hardware reset or a power-on reset, except that
upon exiting a software-initiated reset, the ICS1892 does not re-latch its Serial Management Port
Address into the Extended Control Register. [For information on the Serial Management Port Address,
see Section 8.11.3, “PHY Address (bits 16.10:6)”.]
3. The Control Register bit 0.15 does not represent the status of a hardware reset. It is a self-clearing bit
that is used to initiate a software reset. During a hardware or power-on reset, Control Register bit 0.15
does not get set to logic one. As a result, this bit 0.15 cannot be used to indicate the completion of the
reset process for hardware or power-on resets.
5.2
Power-Down Operations
The ICS1892 enters the power-down state whenever either (1) the RESET* pin is low or (2) Control
Register bit 0.11 (the Power-Down bit) is logic one. In the power-down state, the ICS1892 disables all
internal functions and drives all MAC/Repeater Interface output pins to logic zero except for those that
support the MII Serial Management Port. In addition, the ICS1892 tri-states its Twisted-Pair Transmit pins
(TP_TXP and TP_TXN) to achieve an additional reduction in power.
There is one significant difference between entering the power-down state by setting Control Register bit
0.11 as opposed to entering the power-down state during a reset. When the ICS1892 enters the
power-down state:
• By setting Control Register bit 0.11, the ICS1892 maintains the value of all Management Register bits
except for the latching low (LL), latching high (LH), and latching maximum (LMX) status bits. Instead,
these LL, LH, and LMX Management Register bits are re-initialized to their default values.
• During a reset, the ICS1892 sets all of its Management Register bits to their default values. It does not
maintain the state of any Management Register bit.
For more information on power-down operations, see the following:
• Section 8.14, “Register 19: Extended Control Register 2”
• Section 10.4, “DC Operating Characteristics”, which has tables that specify the ICS1892 power
consumption while in the power-down state

Auto-Negotiation Operations
The ICS1892 has an Auto-Negotiation sublayer. It provides both an input pin, ANSEL (Auto-Negotiation
Select) and a Control Register bit (bit 0.12) to determine whether its Auto-Negotiation sublayer is enabled
or disabled. The ICS1892 HW/SW input pin exclusively selects whether the ANSEL pin (which is used for
the hardware mode) or Control Register bit 0.12 (which is used for the software mode) controls its
Auto-Negotiation sublayer.
When enabled, the ICS1892 Auto-Negotiation sublayer exchanges technology capability data with its
remote link partner and automatically selects the highest-performance operating mode it has in common
with its remote link partner. For example, if the ICS1892 supports 100Base-TX and 10Base-T modes – but
its link partner supports 100Base-TX and 100Base-T4 modes – the two devices automatically select
100Base-TX as the highest-performance common operating mode. For details regarding initialization and
control of the auto-negotiation process, see Section 7.2, “Functional Block: Auto-Negotiation”.

Operating Modes Overview
100Base-TX Operations
The ICS1892 100Base-TX mode is a primary operating mode that provides 100Base-TX physical layer
(PHY) services as defined in the ISO/IEC 8802-3 standard. In the 100Base-TX mode, the ICS1892 is a
100M translator between a MAC/repeater and the physical transmission medium. As such, the ICS1892
has two interfaces, both of which are fully configurable: one to the MAC/repeater and one to the Link
Segment. In 100Base-TX mode, the ICS1892 provides the following functions:
•
•
•
•
Data conversion from both parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel formats
Data encoding/decoding (4B/5B, NRZ/NRZI, and MLT-3)
Data scrambling/descrambling
Data transmission/reception over a twisted-pair medium
To accurately transmit and receive data, the ICS1892 employs DSP-based wave shaping, adaptive
equalization, and baseline wander correction. In addition, in 100Base-TX mode, the ICS1892 provides a
variety of control and status means to assist with Link Segment management. For more information on
100Base-TX, see Section 7.4, “Functional Block: 100Base-TX TP-PMD Operations”.
5.6
10Base-T Operations
The ICS1892 10Base-T mode is another primary operating mode that provides 10Base-T physical layer
(PHY) services as defined in the ISO/IEC 8802-3 standard. In the 10Base-T mode, the ICS1892 is a 10M
translator between a MAC/repeater and the physical transmission medium. As such, the ICS1892 has two
interfaces, both of which are fully configurable: one to the MAC/repeater and one to the Link Segment. In
10Base-T mode, the ICS1892 provides the following functions:
• Data conversion from both parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel formats
• Manchester data encoding/decoding
• Data transmission/reception over a twisted-pair medium
In addition, in 10Base-T mode, the ICS1892 provides a variety of control and status means to assist with
Link Segment management. For more information on 10Base-T, see Section 7.5, “Functional Block:
10Base-T Operations”.
5.7
Half-Duplex and Full-Duplex Operations
The ICS1892 supports half-duplex and full-duplex operations for both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX
applications. Full-duplex operation allows simultaneous transmission and reception of data, which
effectively doubles the Link Segment throughput to either 20 Mbps (for 10Base-T operations) or 200 Mbps
(for 100Base-TX operations).
As per the ISO/IEC standard, full-duplex operations differ slightly from half-duplex operations. These
differences are necessary, as during full-duplex operations a PHY actively uses both its transmit and
receive data paths simultaneously.
• In 10Base-T full-duplex operations, the ICS1892 disables its loopback function (that is, it does not
automatically loop back data from its transmitter to its receiver and disable its SQE Test function).
• In both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX full-duplex operations, the ICS1892 asserts its CRS signal only in
response to receive activity while its COL signal always remains inactive.
For more information on half-duplex and full-duplex operations, see the following sections:

Chapter 6 Interface Overviews
MII Data Interface
The most common configuration for the ICS1892 MAC/Repeater Interface is to configure the
MAC/Repeater Interface as a Medium Independent Interface (MII) operating at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps
(depending on the configuration). When the MAC/Repeater Interface is configured for the MII Data
Interface mode, the MAC/Repeater Interface is used to transfer between the ICS1892 and the
MAC/repeater framed, 4-bit parallel nibbles, along with control and status signals.
The ICS1892 implements an MII that is fully compliant with the IEEE Std 802.3u when connecting to MACs
or repeaters. The ICS1892 MII supports a variety of interfaces to MACs and repeaters, which can occur as
follows:
• On the same board (that is chip to chip)
• On a motherboard to a daughterboard
• Through an MII connector and cable (in a manner similar to AUI connections)
Clause 22 of the ISO/IEC standard defines the MII between an Ethernet PHY and the MAC/Reconciliation
sublayer for 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps operations. The specification supports a variety of physical media,
including 100Base-TX, 100Base-T4, and 100Base-FX. The specification is such that use of a specific
medium for the Link Segment is transparent to the MAC. The ICS1892 supports this definition for both
100Base-TX and 10Base-T operations.
The ISO/IEC-specified MII has both a transmit and a receive data path. Each data path can synchronously
exchange 4 bits of data (that is, nibbles).
• The transmit data path includes the following:
–
–
–
–
A data nibble, TXD[3:0]
A transmit data clock to synchronize transfers, TXCLK
A transmit enable signal, TXEN
A transmit error signal, TXER
• The receive data path includes the following:
–
–
–
–
A separate data nibble, RXD[3:0]
A receive data clock to synchronize transfers, RXCLK
A receive data valid signal, RXDV
A receive error signal, RXER
Both the transmit clock and the receive clock are provided to the MAC/Reconciliation sublayer by the
ICS1892 (that is, the ICS1892 sources the TXCLK and RXCLK signals).
Clause 22 also defines as part of the MII a Carrier Sense signal (CRS) and a Collision Detect signal (COL).
The ICS1892 is fully compliant with these definitions and sources both of these signals to the
MAC/repeater. When operating in:
• Half-duplex mode, the ICS1892 asserts the Carrier Sense signal when data is being either transmitted or
received. While operating in half-duplex mode, the ICS1892 also asserts the Collision Detect signal to
indicate that data is being received while a transmission is in progress.
• Full-duplex mode, the ICS1892 asserts the Carrier Sense signal only when receiving data and forces the
Collision Detect signal to remain inactive.
As mentioned in Section 5.1.1.3, “Hot Insertion”, the ICS1892 design allows hot insertion of its MII. That is,
it is possible to connect its MII to a MAC when power is already applied to the MAC. To support this
functionality, the ICS1892 isolates its MII signals and tri-states the signals on the Twisted-Pair Transmit
pins (TP_TXP and TP_TXN) during a power-on reset. Upon completion of the reset process, the ICS1892
enables its MII and enables its Twisted-Pair Transmit signals.

Chapter 6 Interface Overviews
100M Symbol Interface
The 100M Symbol Interface has a primary objective of supporting 100Base-TX repeater applications for
which the repeater requires only recovered parallel data and for which the repeater provides all the
necessary framing and control functions.
When the Mac/Repeater Interface is configured for 100M Symbol operations, the ICS1892 and the
MAC/repeater exchange unframed 5-bit, parallel symbols at a 25-MHz clock rate.
The ICS1892 configuration functions determine the operation of the MAC/Repeater Interface. The
configuration functions are controlled by either input pins (in which case, the HW/SW pin is logic zero to
select the hardware mode) or Management Register bits (in which case, the HW/SW pin is logic one to
select the software mode).
• In hardware mode, the ICS1892 enables the 100M Symbol Interface when both of the following are true:
– The MII/SI input pin is logic one (that is, the selection is for the Symbol Interface).
– The 10/100SEL input pin is logic one (that is, the selection is for 100M operations).
• In software mode, the ICS1892 enables the 100M Symbol Interface when both the following are true:
– The MII/SI input pin is logic one (that is, the selection is for the Symbol Interface).
– The Control Register Data Rate bit (bit 0.13) is set to logic one (that is, the selection is for selecting
100M operations)
Note:
In software mode, the 10/100SEL pin becomes an output that indicates the state of bit 0.13.
The 100M Symbol Interface bypasses the ICS1892 PCS and provides a direct unscrambled, unframed,
5-bit interface between the MAC/repeater and the PMA sublayer. A benefit of bypassing the PCS is a
reduction in the latency through the ICS1892. That is, when the ICS1892 MAC/Repeater Interface is
configured as a 100M Symbol Interface, the bit delays through the ICS1892 are smaller than the standard
MII Data Interface can allow. The ICS1892 provides this 100M Symbol Interface primarily for Repeater
applications, for which latency is a critical performance parameter.
In addition to the exchange of symbol data, the ICS1892 provides ISO/IEC-compliant control signals (such
as CRS) to the MAC/repeater. The ICS1892 CRS signal provides a fast look-ahead, which can benefit a
repeater application.
In the 100M Symbol Interface mode, the ICS1892 continues to assert the CRS signal using its PCS logic.
This action does not affect the bit delay or latency because the PCS CRS logic examines the bits received
from the PMA sublayer serially. In fact, because the PCS CRS does not wait for a nibble or symbol to be
constructed, the PCS CRS is available in advance of the symbol generation. Therefore, by employing the
PCS CRS generation logic, the ICS1892 can provide an ‘early’ indication of a Carrier Detect to the
MAC/repeater.
The 100M Symbol Interface consists of the following fourteen signals: STCLK, STD[4:0], SRCLK,
SRD[4:0], SCRS, and SD. (When the ICS1892 MAC/Repeater Interface is configured for 100M Symbol
operations, its default MII pin names and their associated functions are redefined. For more information,
see Section 9.2.4.2, “MAC/Repeater Interface Pins for 100M Symbol Interface”.)

10M Serial Interface
When the Mac/Repeater Interface is configured as a 10M Serial Interface, the ICS1892 and the
MAC/repeater exchange a framed, serial bit stream along with associated control signals. The 10M Serial
Interface configuration is ideally suited to applications that already incorporate a serial 10Base-T MAC with
a standard ‘7-wire’ interface. The ICS1892 MAC/Repeater Interface can be configured for 10M Serial
Interface operations, as determined by ICS1892 configuration functions. When the HW/SW pin is set for:
• Hardware mode, the 10M Serial Interface is selected when the following are true:
– The MII/SI input pin is logic one (that is, the selection is for a Serial Interface).
– The 10/100SEL input pin is logic zero (that is, the selection is for 10M operations).
– The 10/LP input pin is logic zero
• Software mode, the 10M Serial Interface is selected when the following are true:
– The MII/SI input pin is logic one (that is, the selection is for a Serial Interface).
– The Control Register Data Rate bit (bit 0.13) is logic zero (that is, the selection is for 10M operations).
– The 10/LP input pin is logic zero
Note:
In software mode, the 10/100SEL pin becomes an output that indicates the state of bit 0.13.
The 10M Serial Interface has two data paths: one for data transmission and one for data reception. Each
data path exchanges a serial bit stream with the MAC/repeater at a 10-MHz clock rate. A benefit of using
the 10M Serial Interface – in contrast to the 10M MII Interface – is a reduction in the bit latency through the
ICS1892. This reduction is attributed to the elimination of both parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel data
conversions.
The 10M Serial Interface consists of the following nine signals: 10TCLK, 10TXEN, 10TD, 10RCLK,
10RXDV, 10RD, 10CRS, 10COL, and LSTA. (When the ICS1892 MAC/Repeater Interface is configured for
10M Serial operations, both its default MII pin names and their associated functions are redefined. For
more information, see Section 9.2.4.3, “MAC/Repeater Interface Pins for 10M Serial Interface”.)

Link Pulse Interface
The Link Pulse Interface allows an application to control each step in the auto-negotiation process except
for the actual generation and reception of 10Base-T link pulses (that is, Normal Link Pulses). The ICS1892
MAC/Repeater Interface can be configured as a Link Pulse Interface as determined by ICS1892
configuration functions.
The Link Pulse Interface is selected as follows:
•
•
•
•
The HW/SW pin must be set for the hardware setting (logic low).
The MII/SI input pin must be set for the Symbol/Serial Interface (logic high).
The 10/LP input pin must be set for Link Pulse mode (logic high).
The 10/100SEL input pin must be set for 100M operations (logic high).
Although the 10/100SEL pin must be set for 100M operations, a Normal Link Pulse has the same ISO/IEC
definition regardless of whether the 10/100SEL pin is set for 10M (10 MHz) or 100M (100 MHz.)
The Link Pulse Interface allows the MAC/repeater to control the transmission of Normal Link Pulses to the
remote link partner, thereby allowing the MAC/repeater to control the auto-negotiation processes.
The Link Pulse Interface consists of the following five signals: LTCLK, LPTX, LRCLK, LPRX, and SD.
(When the ICS1892 MAC/Repeater Interface is configured for Link Pulse operations, its default MII pins are
redefined. For more information, see Section 9.2.4.4, “MAC/Repeater Interface Pins for Link Pulse
Interface”.)

Chapter 6 Interface Overviews
Serial Management Interface
The ISO/IEC 8802-3 standard specifies a two-wire Serial Management Interface and protocol as part of the
MII. This interface is used to exchange configuration, control, and status information between a Station
Management entity (an STA) and a physical layer device (a PHY). The ISO/IEC standard specifies a frame
structure and protocol for this interface as well as a set of Management Registers that it can access. The
ICS1892 implementation of this interface complies fully with the ISO/IEC standard. It provides a
bi-directional data pin (MDIO) along with an input pin for the clock (MDC). The clock is used to synchronize
all data transfers between a PHY and the STA.
In addition to the ISO/IEC defined registers, the ICS1892 provides several extended status and control
registers to provide more refined control of the MII and MDI interfaces. For example, the QuickPoll Detailed
Status Register provides the ability to acquire the most-important status functions with a single MDIO read.
In the ICS1892, the MDIO and MDC pins remain active for all the MAC/Repeater Interface modes, that is,
10M/100M MII, 100M Symbol, 10M Serial, and Link Pulse. Therefore, to the ICS1892 the signals from
these pins represent the Serial Management Interface, not just the MII Management Interface.
6.6
Twisted-Pair Interface
The ICS1892 twisted-pair interface consists of the following:
• Twisted-Pair Transmitter: The differential Twisted-Pair Transmit pins TP_TXP and TP_TXN
• Twisted-Pair Receiver: The differential Twisted-Pair Receive pins TP_RXP and TP_RXN
• Transmit current-select pins: 10TCSR and 100TCSR
The ICS1892 uses the same pins for both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX operating modes. The differential
Twisted-Pair Transmit and Twisted-Pair Receive pins directly interface with a universal magnetic module,
which in turn interfaces with a single RJ-45 connector. The universal magnetic module has two isolation
transformers: one for the transmit channel and one for the receive channel. The isolation transformers
provide the interface between the ICS1892 and the twisted-pair medium.
6.7
Clock Reference Interface
The REF_IN and REF_OUT pins provide the ICS1892 Clock Reference Interface. The ICS1892 requires a
single clock reference with a frequency of 25 MHz ±50 parts per million. This accuracy is necessary to meet
the interface requirements of the ISO/IEE 8802-3 standard, specifically clauses 22.2.2.1 and 24.2.3.4.
The ICS1892 supports three clock source configurations. The clock source can be from (1) an oscillator, (2)
a CMOS driver, or (3) a crystal. The following paragraphs offer specific design recommendations for these
clock sources.
6.7.1
Clock Source: Oscillator or CMOS Driver
When using either an oscillator or a CMOS driver, the design must provide a connection from the clock
source to the ICS1892 REF_IN pin while leaving the ICS1892 REF_OUT pin unconnected. ICS also
recommends that the design provide a dedicated driver for the REF_IN pin.

Chapter 6 Interface Overviews
Clock Source: Crystal
Figure 6-1 shows the recommended configuration when a crystal is used to supply the ICS1892 clock
source. As shown, connect the two leads of the crystal between the ICS1892 pins REF_IN and REF_OUT.
To properly load the crystal, also add two capacitors (C1 and C2 of Figure 6-1): one connected between
REF_IN and ground (digital domain) and one connected between REF_OUT and ground (digital domain).
Note:
Because a crystal is a tuned RLC circuit, crystal loading has a significant impact on the clock
source accuracy.
As revealed by an impedance analysis of the recommended crystal configuration circuit, capacitors C1 and
C2 are in series. In addition, the circuit has stray capacitance, which Figure 6-1 shows as CS3 and CS4.
This stray capacitance is the collective result of board layout and pad capacitance.
Stray capacitance CS3 is in parallel with C1, depicted cumulatively as CL1. Stray capacitance CS4 is in
parallel with C2, depicted cumulatively as CL2. Therefore, the total capacitive load as viewed by the crystal
is the series sum of the two capacitors CL1 and CL2. (To add capacitors in series, add their inverse.)
If the capacitors C1 and C2 have the same value (which is recommended), then CL1 = CL2. In this case,
each capacitance CL1 and CL2 equals twice the rated load capacitance of the crystal. For example, if
CS3 = CS4 = 5 pF, and the rated capacitive load of the crystal is 25 pF, then C1 = C2 = 45 pF.
(CL1 = CL2 = 50 pF. Therefore, CL1 in parallel with CL2 equals 25 pF.)
Crystal accuracy is affected by load capacitance. The following factors also affect the crystal accuracy and
must be considered when selecting a crystal for a design:
• The crystal cut. The crystal must be cut for accuracy. In some cases, this cut can require using a fixture
that has equivalent capacitive loading characteristics as the final application.
• The crystal temperature characteristics
• The crystal aging characteristics
• CL1 and CL2, that is, the specific capacitive loading that occurs as a result of the particular printed circuit
board that is used and the board layout

Configuration Interface
The Configuration and Status Interface pins (10/100SEL, 10/LP, ANSEL, DPXSEL, HW/SW, MII/SI,
NOD/REP, RESET* and RXTRI) allow the ICS1892 to be completely configured and controlled in
hardware. With these pins, the ICS1892 can accommodate the following:
• 10M or 100M operations
• 5 MAC/Repeater Interface configurations:

enable pin for the MII receive data path. When this pin is active (that is, a logic one), the pins RXCLK,
RXD[3:0], RXER, and RXDV are all tri-stated. Functionally, this pin affects the MII receive channel in the
same way as the Control Register’s isolate bit, bit 0.10. (The isolate bit also affects the transmit data path.)
The ICS1892 can tri-state these seven signals for all five types of MAC/Repeater Interface configurations,
not just the MII interface.
6.9
Status Interface
The ICS1892 LSTA pin provides a Link Status, and the LOCK pin provides a Stream Cipher Locking
Status. In addition, as listed in Table 6-4, the ICS1892 provides the five multiplexed pins that monitor the
data link by providing signals that drive LEDs. (Table 9.2.2 lists the pin numbers.)

The ICS1892 multiplexes each of these five LED output signals with one of the five PHY address inputs.
The following example shows how this multiplexing takes place:
1. The PHY Address bit P0 and the link activity LED (AC) share pin 58. During a reset of the ICS1892, the
signal on the link activity LED pin (as well as the other four LED pins) become inputs.
2. When the ICS1892 leaves the reset state, it latches the state of these inputs into the PHY Address bits
(that is, the Serial Management Port Address) described in Table 8-16.
3. Next, the ICS1892 converts these pin signals to output signals that can drive an LED directly as
follows: The state/value of each PHY Address bit is selected by connecting its associated LED signal
to either VDD (to select a logic one) or VSS (to select a logic zero).
4. After the reset process completes, the ICS1892 uses the latched PHY address to drive the LED,
independent of its connection to VDD or VSS.

Functional Block: Media Independent Interface
All ICS1892 MII interface signals are fully compliant with the ISO/IEC 8802-3 standard. In addition, the
ICS1892 MIIs can support two data transfer rates: 25 MHz (for 100Base-TX operations) and 2.5 MHz (for
10Base-T operations).
The Media Independent Interface (MII) consists of two primary components:
1. An interface between a MAC (Media Access Control sublayer) and the PHY (that is, the ICS1892). This
MAC-PHY part of the MII consists of three subcomponents:
a. A synchronous Transmit interface that includes the following signals:
(1) A data nibble, TXD[3:0]
(2) An error indicator, TXER
(3) A delimiter, TXEN
(4) A clock, TXCLK
b. A synchronous Receive interface that includes the followings signals:
(1) A data nibble, RXD[3:0]
(2) An error indicator, RXER
(3) A delimiter, RXDV
(4) A clock, RXCLK
c. A Media Status or Control interface that consists of a Carrier Sense signal (CRS) and a Collision
Detection signal (COL).
2. An interface between the PHY (the ICS1892) and an STA (Station Management entity). The STA-PHY
part of the MII is a two-wire, Serial Management Interface that consists of the following:
a. A clock (MDC)
b. A synchronous, bi-directional data signal (MDIO) that provides an STA with access to the ICS1892
Management Register set
The ICS1892 Management Register set (discussed in Chapter 8, “Management Register Set”) consists of
the following:
• Basic Management registers.
As defined in the ISO/IEC 8802-3 standard, these registers include the following:
– Control Register (register 0), which handles basic device configuration
– Status Register (register 1), which reports basic device capabilities and status
• Extended Management registers.
As defined in the ISO/IEC 8802-3 standard, the ICS1892 supports Extended registers that provide
access to the Organizationally Unique Identifier and all auto-negotiation functionality.
• ICS (Vendor-Specific) Management registers.
The ICS1892 provides vendor-specific registers for enhanced PHY operations. Among these is the
QuickPoll Detailed Status Register that provides a comprehensive and consolidated set of real-time PHY
information. Reading the QuickPoll register enables the MAC to obtain comprehensive status data with
a single register access.

Functional Blocks
Functional Block: Auto-Negotiation
The auto-negotiation logic of the ICS1892 has the following main functions:
• To determine the capabilities of the remote link partner, (that is, the device at the other end of the link
segment’s medium or cable)
• To advertise the capabilities of the ICS1892 to the remote link partner
• To establish a protocol with the remote link partner using the highest-performance operating mode that
they have in common
The design of the ICS1892 Auto-Negotiation sublayer supports both legacy 10Base-T connections as well
as new connections that have multiple technology options for the link. For example, when the ICS1892 has
the auto-negotiation process enabled and it is operating with a 10Base-T remote link partner, the ICS1892
monitors the link and automatically selects the 10Base-T operating mode – even though the remote link
partner does not support auto-negotiation. This process, called parallel detection, is automatic and
transparent to the remote link partner and allows the ICS1892 to function seamlessly with existing legacy
network structures without any management intervention.
(For an overview of the auto-negotiation process, see Section 5.4, “Auto-Negotiation Operations”.)

ICS1892 Data Sheet
7.2.1
Chapter 7
Functional Blocks
Auto-Negotiation General Process
The Auto-Negotiation sublayer uses a physical signaling technique that is transparent at the packet level
and all higher protocol levels. This technique builds on the link pulse mechanism employed in 10Base-T
operations and is fully compliant with clause 28 of the ISO/IEC 8802-3 standard.
During the auto-negotiation process, both the ICS1892 and its remote link partner use Fast Link Pulses
(FLPs) to simultaneously ‘advertise’ (that is, exchange) information on their respective technology
capabilities as follows:
1. For the auto-negotiation process to take place, both the ICS1892 and its remote link partner must first
both support and be enabled for Auto-Negotiation.
2. The ICS1892 obtains the data for its FLP bursts from the Auto-Negotiation Advertisement Register
(Register 4).
3. Both the ICS1892 and the remote link partner substitute Fast Link Pulse (FLP) bursts in place of the
Normal Link Pulses (NLPs). In each FLP burst, the ICS1892 transmits information on its technology
capability through its Link Control Word, which includes link configuration and status data.
4. Similarly, the ICS1892 places the Auto-Negotiation data received from its remote link partner's FLP
bursts into the Auto-Negotiation Link Partner Ability Register (Register 5).
5. After the ICS1892 and its remote link partner exchange technology capability information, the ICS1892
Auto-Negotiation sublayer contrasts the data in Registers 4 and 5 and automatically selects for the
operating mode the highest-priority technology that both Register 4 and 5 have in common. (That is,
both the ICS1892 and its remote link partner use a predetermined priority list for selecting the operating
mode, thereby ensuring that both sides of the link make the same selection.) As follows from Annex
28B of the ISO/IEC 8802-3 standard, the pre-determined technology priorities are listed from 1 (highest
priority) to 5 (lowest priority):
(1) 100Base-TX full duplex
(2) 100Base-T4. (The ICS1892 does not support this technology.)
(3) 100Base-TX (half duplex)
(4) 10Base-T full duplex
(5) 10Base-T (half duplex)
Table 7-1 shows an example of how the selection process of the highest-priority technology takes
place.

6. To indicate that the auto-negotiation process is complete, the ICS1892 sets bits 1.5 and 17.4 high to
logic one. After successful completion of the auto-negotiation process, the ICS1892 Auto-Negotiation
sublayer performs the following steps:
a. It sets to logic one the Status Register’s Auto-Negotiation Complete bit (bit 1.5, which is also
available in the QuickPoll register as bit 17.4).
b. It enables the negotiated link technology (such as the 100Base Transmit modules and 100Base
Receive modules).
c. It disables the unused technologies to reduce the overall power consumption.

7.2.2
Chapter 7
Functional Blocks
Auto-Negotiation: Parallel Detection
The ICS1892 supports parallel detection. It is therefore compatible with networks that do not support the
auto-negotiation process. When enabled, the Auto-Negotiation sublayer can detect legacy 10Base-T link
partners as well as 100Base-TX link partners that do not have an auto-negotiation capability.
The Auto-Negotiation sublayer performs this parallel detection function when it does not get a response to
its FLP bursts. In these situations, the Auto-Negotiation sublayer performs the following steps:
1. It sets the LP_AutoNeg_Able bit (bit 6.0) to logic zero, thereby identifying the remote link partner as not
being capable of executing the auto-negotiation process.
2. It sets the bit in the Auto-Negotiation Link Partner Abilities Register that corresponds to the 'parallel
detected' technology [for example, half-duplex, 10Base-T (bit 5.5) or half-duplex, 100Base-TX (bit
5.7)]. IEEE specification allows only half-duplex operation with auto-negotiation paralled detect
partners.
3. It sets the Status Register’s Auto-Negotiation Complete bit (bit 1.5) to logic one, indicating completion
of the auto-negotiation process.
4. It enables the detected link technology and disables the unused technologies.
A remote link partner that does not support the auto-negotiation process does not respond to the
transmitted FLP bursts. The ICS1892 detects this situation and responds according to the data it receives.
The ICS1892 can receive one of five potential responses to the FLP bursts it is transmitting: FLP bursts,
10Base-T link pulses (that is, Normal Link Pulses), scrambled 100Base IDLEs, nothing, or a combination of
signal types.
A 10Base-T link partner transmits only Normal Link Pulses when idle. When the ICS1892 receives Normal
Link Pulses, it concludes that the remote link partner is a device that can use only 10Base-T technology. A
100Base-TX node without an Auto-Negotiation sublayer transmits 100M scrambled IDLE symbols in
response to the FLP bursts. Upon receipt of the scrambled IDLEs, the ICS1892 concludes that its remote
link partner is a 100Base-TX node that does not support the auto-negotiation process. For both 10Base-T
and 100Base-TX nodes without an Auto-Negotiation sublayer, the ICS1892 clears bit 6.0 to logic zero,
indicating that the link partner cannot perform the auto-negotiation process.
If the remote link partner responds to the FLP bursts with FLP bursts, then the link partner is a 100Base-TX
node that can support the auto-negotiation process. In this case, the ICS1892 sets to logic one the
Auto-Negotiation Expansion Register’s Link Partner Auto-Negotiation Ability bit (bit 6.0).
If the Auto-Negotiation sublayer does not receive any signal when monitoring the receive channel, then the
QuickPoll Detailed Status Register’s Signal Detect bit (bit 17.3) is set to logic one, indicating that no signal
is present.
Another possibility is that the ICS1892 senses that it is receiving multiple technology indications. In this
situation, the ICS1892 cannot determine which technology to enable. It informs the STA of this problem by
setting to logic one the Auto-Negotiation Expansion Register’s Parallel Detection Fault bit (bit 6.4).
7.2.3
Auto-Negotiation: Remote Fault Signaling
If the remote link partner detects a fault, the ICS1892 reports the remotely detected fault to the STA by
setting to logic one the Remote Fault Detected bit(s), 1.4, 5.13, and 17.1. The reception of a remote link
fault during the technology exchange also indicates that the remote link partner can perform remote fault
detection and the Remote Fault bit (bit 19.13) is set to logic one. In general, the reception of a remote fault
means that the remote link partner has a problem with the integrity of its receive channel.
Similarly, if the ICS1892 detects a link fault, it transmits a remote fault-detected condition to its remote link
partner. In this situation, the ICS1892 sets to logic one the Auto-Negotiation Link Partner Ability Register’s
Remote Fault Indication bit (bit 5.13). In addition, the ICS1892 sets to logic one the Extended Control
Register’s bit 19.13, indicating that it sent a remote fault to its remote link partner.

Chapter 7
Functional Blocks
Auto-Negotiation: Reset and Restart
If enabled, execution of the ICS1892 auto-negotiation process occurs at power-up and upon management
request. There are two primary ways to begin the Auto-Negotiation state machine:
• ICS1892 reset
• Auto-Negotiation Restart
7.2.4.1
Auto-Negotiation Reset
During a reset, the ICS1892 initializes its Auto-Negotiation sublayer modules to their default states. (That
is, the Auto-Negotiation Arbitration State Machine and the Auto-Negotiation Progress Monitor reset to their
idle states.) In addition, the Auto-Negotiation Progress Monitor status bits are all set to logic zero. This
action occurs for any type of reset (hardware reset, software reset, or power-on reset).
7.2.4.2
Auto-Negotiation Restart
As with a reset, during an Auto-Negotiation restart, the ICS1892 initializes the Auto-Negotiation Arbitration
State Machine and the Auto-Negotiation Progress Monitor modules to their default states. However, during
an Auto-Negotiation Restart, the Auto-Negotiation Progress Monitor status bits maintain their current state.
Only three events can alter the state of the Auto-Negotiation Progress Monitor status bits after a Restart:
(1) an STA read operation, (2) a reset, or (3) the Auto-Negotiation Arbitration State Machine progressing to
a higher state or value.
The Auto-Negotiation Progress Monitor Status bits change only if they are progressing to a state with a
value greater than their current state (that is, a state with a higher logical value than that of their current
state). For a detailed explanation of these bits and their operation, see Section 7.2.5, “Auto-Negotiation:
Progress Monitor”.
After the Auto-Negotiation Arbitration State Machine reaches its final state (which is Auto-Negotiation
Complete), only an STA read of the QuickPoll Detailed Status Register or an ICS1892 reset can alter these
status bits.
Any one of the following situations initiate a restart of the ICS1892 Auto-Negotiation sublayer:
• A link failure
• In software mode (that is, HW/SW pin is logic one), either of the following actions initiate a restart of the
ICS1892 Auto-Negotiation sublayer:
– Writing a logic one to the Control Register’s Restart Auto-Negotiation bit (bit 0.9), which is a selfclearing bit.
– Toggling the Control Register’s Auto-Negotiation Enable bit (bit 0.12) from a logic one to a logic zero,
and back to a logic one.
• In hardware mode (that is, HW/SW pin is a logic zero), toggling the ANSEL (Auto-Negotiation Select) pin
from a logic one to a logic zero, and back to a logic one.

Chapter 7
Functional Blocks
Auto-Negotiation: Progress Monitor
Under typical circumstances, the Auto-Negotiation sublayer can establish a connection with the ICS1892’s
remote link partner. However, some situations can prevent the auto-negotiation process from properly
achieving this goal. For these situations, the ICS1892 has an Auto-Negotiation Progress Monitor to provide
detailed status information to its Station Management (STA) entity. With this status information, the STA
can diagnose the failure mechanism and – in some situations – establish the link by correcting the problem.
When enabled, the auto-negotiation process typically requires less than 500 ms to execute, independent of
the link partner's ability to perform the auto-negotiation process. Typically, an STA polls both the
Auto-Negotiation Complete bit (bit 1.5) and the Link Status bit (bit 1.2) to determine when a link is
successfully established, either through auto-negotiation or parallel detection. The STA can then poll the
Auto-Negotiation Link Partner Ability Register and determine the highest-performance operating mode in
common with the capabilities it is advertising.
The ISO/IEC-defined priority table determines the established link type. As a simpler alternative, the STA
can read the QuickPoll Detailed Status Register and determine the link type from the Data Rate bit (bit
17.15) and the Duplex bit (bit 17.14). For convenience, the QuickPoll Register also includes the Link Status
bit (bit 17.0) and the Auto-Negotiation Complete bit (bit 17.4).
If (1) the auto-negotiation process does not complete, or (2) the link is not established, or (3) both the
auto-negotiation process does not complete and the link is not established, then the STA can determine the
cause of the link failure by using the outputs of the ICS1892 Auto-Negotiation Progress Monitor.
The Auto-Negotiation Progress Monitor provides the STA with four status bits of data to indicate both the
history and the present state of the auto-negotiation process. This status data is provided in the QuickPoll
Detailed Status register by using the Auto-Negotiation Complete bit (bit 17.4) as well as bits 17.13:11. The
bit order, from most-significant bit to least-significant bit, is 17.4, 17.13, 17.12, and 17.11. Using these four
bits, the Auto-Negotiation Progress Monitor provides nine state codes detailing the operation of the
auto-negotiation process for the STA. [For more information, see Section 8.12.3, “Auto-Negotiation
Progress Monitor (bits 17.13:11)”.]
The nine Auto-Negotiation Progress Monitor state codes are 0h through 8h and Fh. The Auto-Negotiation
Progress Monitor automatically latches the values of the Auto-Negotiation Arbitration State Machine into
the status bits only if the value of the present state is greater than the value that is currently in the status
bits.

Chapter 7
Functional Blocks
For example, if the status bits have a value of 3h and the auto-negotiation process moves into:
• State 1, the Auto-Negotiation Progress Monitor does not update the status bits to indicate the new state.
• State 5, the Auto-Negotiation Progress Monitor updates the status bits to indicate the new state, State 5.
In this case, the status bits increase in value until either the auto-negotiation process successfully
completes or the STA reads the Auto-Negotiation Progress Monitor status bits.
When the STA reads the status bits, the present state of the auto-negotiation process is automatically
latched into the status bits, regardless of how they compare to the value currently in the latch. However,
the read presents the STA with the previously latched values of the status bits, not the values just latched
into the status register by the read. Therefore, the STA must perform two reads of the status bits to
determine the present state of the Auto-Negotiation Arbitration State Machine.
The first read provides a 'history' of the auto-negotiation process, (that is, the highest state achieved by
the auto-negotiation process). The second read provides the present state of the auto-negotiation
process. This behavior allows management to determine the greatest forward progress made by the
auto-negotiation logic, which is valuable for diagnosing link errors and failures.
Note:
Once the auto-negotiation process completes successfully, the value of all the Progress Monitor
status bits and the Auto-Negotiation Complete bit have a value of logic one. A read operation of the
QuickPoll Register provides a value of logic one for the Auto-Negotiation Complete bit and an octal
value of 111 for the status bits.
However, subsequent reads of the QuickPoll Register also provide a value of logic one for the
Auto-Negotiation Complete bit. The octal value of the status bits are ‘000’, providing the link
remains established. That is, if the link fails, the Auto-Negotiation sublayer is restarted and
subsequent reads provide the value of the Auto-Negotiation Arbitration State Machine.

Functional Block: 100Base-X PCS and PMA Sublayers
Clause 24 of the ISO/IEC specification defines the 100Base-X Physical Coding sublayer (PCS) and
Physical Medium Attachment (PMA) sublayers. The ICS1892 is fully compliant with this clause in its
implementation.
7.3.1
PCS Sublayer
The ICS1892 100Base-X PCS sublayer provides two interfaces: one to a MAC/repeater and the other to
the ICS1892 PMA sublayer. In addition, it performs the transmit, receive, and control functions in
compliance with the ISO/IEC 8802-3 standard.
The ICS1892 100Base-X PCS PCS sublayer consists of the following:
• PCS Transmit sublayer, which provides the following:
– Parallel-to-serial conversion
– 4B/5B encoding
– Collision detection
• PCS Receive sublayer, which provides the following:
–
–
–
–
Serial-to-parallel conversion
4B/5B encoding
Carrier detection
Code group framing
• Two PCS controls, which provide the following functions for the MAC/Repeater Interface:
– Assertion of the CRS carrier sense signal (which is part of the carrier sense modules)
– Assertion of the COL collision detection signal (which is part of the transmit modules)
Note:
7.3.2
When configured for 100M Symbol mode operations, the MAC/Repeater Interface bypasses most
of the PCS. When the ICS1892 MAC/Repeater Interface is in this mode, most of its PCS Transmit
and Receive modules are inactive. However, its PCS control functions (CRS and COL) remain
operational.
PMA Sublayer
The ICS1892 100Base-X PMA Sublayer consists of two interfaces: one to the Physical Coding sublayer
and the other to the Physical Medium Dependent sublayer. Functionally, the PMA sublayer is responsible
for the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Link Monitoring
Carrier Detection
NRZI encoding/decoding
Transmit Clock Synthesis
Receive Clock Recovery

Chapter 7
Functional Blocks
PCS/PMA Transmit Modules
Both the PCS and PMA sublayers have Transmit modules.
7.3.3.1
PCS Transmit Module
The ICS1892 PCS Transmit module accepts nibbles from the MAC/Repeater Interface and converts the
nibbles into 5-bit ‘code groups’ (referred to here as ‘symbols’). Then the PCS Transmit module performs a
parallel-to-serial conversion on the symbols, and subsequently passes the resulting serial bit stream to the
PMA sublayer.
The first 16 nibbles of each MAC/Repeater Frame represent the Frame Preamble. The PCS replaces the
first two nibbles of the Frame Preamble with the Start-of-Stream Delimiter (SSD), that is, the symbols /J/K/.
After receipt of the last Frame nibble, detected when TX_EN = FALSE, the PCS appends to the end of the
Frame an End-of-Stream Delimiter (ESD), that is, the symbols /T/R/. (The ICS1892 PCS does not alter any
other data included within the Frame.)
The PCS Transmit module also performs collision detection. When the transmission and reception of data
occur simultaneously, then in compliance with the ISO/IEC specification, when the ICS1892 is in:
• Half-duplex mode, the ICS1892 asserts the collision detection signal (COL).
• Full-duplex mode, COL is always FALSE.
7.3.3.2
PMA Transmit Module
The ICS1892 PMA Transmit module accepts a serial bit stream from the PCS and converts it into NRZI
format. Subsequently, the PMA passes the NRZI bit stream to the Twisted-Pair Physical Medium
Dependent (TP-PMD) sublayer.
The ICS1892 PMA Transmit module uses a digital PLL to synthesize a transmit clock from the Clock
Reference Interface. When the ICS1892 is configured for an interface that is:
• 10M MII (that is, 10Base-T), the TXCLK signal is 2.5 MHz
• 10M Serial Interface, the TXCLK signal is 10 MHz
• Either of the following, the TXCLK signal (a buffered version of the REF_IN signal) is 25 MHz:
– 100M MII (that is, 100Base-TX)
– 100M Symbol Interface
Note:
1. All of the TXCLK signals are derived from the REF_IN signal that goes to the digital PLL.
2. For the MII, for both the 10Base-T and 100Base-TX modes, the clock that is generated synchronizes
all data transfers across the MII.

Chapter 7
Functional Blocks
PCS/PMA Receive Modules
Both the PCS and PMA sublayers have Receive modules.
7.3.4.1
PCS Receive Module
The ICS1892 PCS Receive module accepts both a serial bit stream and a clock signal from the PMA
sublayer. The PCS Receive module converts the bit stream from a serial format to a parallel format and
then processes the data to detect the presence of a carrier.
When a link is in the idle state, the PCS Receive module receives IDLE symbols. (All bits are logic one.)
Upon receiving two non-contiguous zeros in the bit stream, the PCS Receive module examines the
ensuing bits and attempts to locate the Start-of-Stream Delimiter (SSD), that is, the /J/K/ symbols.
Upon verification of a valid SSD, the PCS Receive module substitutes the first two standard nibbles of a
Frame Preamble for the detected SSD. In addition, the PCS Receive module uses the SSD to begin
framing the ensuing data into 5-bit code symbols. The final PCS Receive module performs 4B/5B decoding
on the symbols and then synchronously passes the resulting nibbles to the MAC/Repeater Interface.
The Receive state machine continues to accept PMA data, convert it from serial to parallel format, frame it,
decode it, and pass it to the MAC/Repeater Interface. During this time, the Receive state machine
alternates between the Receive and Data States and continues this process until detection of one of the
following:
• An End-of-Stream Delimiter (ESD, that is, the /T/R/ symbols)
• An error
• A premature end (IDLEs)
Upon receipt of an ESD, the Receive state machine returns to the IDLE state without passing the ESD to
the MAC/Repeater Interface. Detection of an error forces the Receive state machine to assert the receive
error signal (RX_ER) and wait for the next symbol. If the ICS1892 Receive state machine detects a
premature end, it forces the assertion of the RX_ER signal, sets the Premature End bit (bit 17.5) to logic

Chapter 7
Functional Blocks
PMA Receive Modules
The ICS1892 PMA Receive module provides the following two functions:
• NRZI Decoding
– The Receive module performs the NRZI decoding on the serial bit stream received from the
Twisted-Pair Physical Medium Dependent (TP-PMD) sublayer. It converts the bit stream to a
unipolar, positive, binary format which the PMA subsequently passes it to the PCS.
– The PMA extracts the clock embedded in the serial data stream.
• Receive Clock Recovery
The Receive Clock Recovery function consists of a phase-locked loop (PLL) that operates on the serial
data stream received from the PMD sublayer. This PLL automatically synchronizes itself to the clock
encoded in the serial data stream and then provides both a recovered clock and data stream to the PCS.
The Receive Clock PLL requires a clock reference to acquire lock. Without a clock source, it continually
searches for a reference signal. Therefore, when the ICS1892 does not detect the presence of any signal
on its receive channel, it uses a Transmit Clock function to generate a reference for the Receive Clock PLL.
This is TBD.
The PMA Link Monitoring function observes the Receive Clock PLL. If the Receive Clock PLL cannot
acquire ‘lock’ on the serial data stream, it asserts an error signal. The status of this error signal can be read
in the QuickPoll Detailed Status Register’s PLL Lock Error bit (bit 17.9). This bit is a latching high (LH) bit.
(For more information on latching high and latching low bits, see Section 8.1.4.1, “Latching High Bits” and
Section 8.1.4.2, “Latching Low Bits”.)
In general, the ICS1892 PMA Link Monitor functions continually audit the state of the connection with the
remote link partner. They assert a receive channel error if a receive signal is not detected or if a PLL Lock
Error occurs. These errors, in turn, generate a link fault and force the link monitor functions to clear both the
Status Register’s Link Status bit (bit 1.2) and the QuickPoll Detailed Status Register’s Link Status bit (bit
17.0).
7.3.5
PCS Control Signal Generation
For the PCS sublayer, there are two control signals: a Carrier Sense signal (CRS) and a Collision Detect
signal (COL).
The CRS control signals is generated as follows:
1. When a logic zero is detected in an idle bit stream, the Receive Functions examine the ensuing bits.
2. When the Receive Functions find the first two non-contiguous zero bits, the Receive state machine
moves into the Carrier Detect state.
3. As a result, the Boolean Receiving variable is set to TRUE.
4. Consequently, the Carrier Sense state machine moves into the Carrier Sense ‘on’ state, which asserts
the CRS signal.
5. If the PCS Functions:
a. Cannot confirm either the /I/J/ (IDLE, J) symbols or the /J/K/ symbols, the receive error signal
(RX_ER) is asserted, and the Receive state machine returns to the IDLE state. In IDLE, the
Boolean Receiving variable is set to FALSE, thereby causing the Carrier Sense state machine to
set the CRS signal to FALSE.
b. Can confirm the /I/J/K/ symbols, then the Receive state machine transitions to the ‘Receive’ state.
The COL control signal is generated by the transmit modules. For details, see Section 7.3.3.1, “PCS
Transmit Module”.

4B/5B Encoding/Decoding
The 4B/5B coding methodology maps each 4-bit nibble to a 5-bit symbol (also called a “code group”). There
are 32 five-bit symbols, which include the following:
• Of the 32 five-bit symbols, 16 five-bit symbols are required to represent the 4-bit nibbles.
• The remaining 16 five-bit symbols are available for control functions. The IEEE Standard defines 6
symbols for control, and the remaining 10 symbols of this grouping are invalid. The 6 control symbols
include the following:
–
–
–
–
/H/ represents a Transmit Error
/I/ represents an IDLE
Two symbols represent the Start-of-Stream Delimiter (SSD): /J/ and /K/
Two symbols represent the End-of-Stream Delimiter (ESD): /T/ and /R/
If the ICS1892 PCS receives:
– One of the 10 undefined symbols, it sets the QuickPoll Detailed Status Register’s Invalid Symbol bit
(bit 17.7) to logic one.
– A Halt symbol, it sets the Halt Symbol Detected bit in the QuickPoll Detailed Status Register (bit 17.6)
to logic one.
Note:
By an STA (1) setting the Extended Control Register’s Transmit Invalid Codes bit (bit 16.2) to logic
one and (2) asserting the TXER signal, an STA can force the ICS1892 to transmit symbols that are
typically classified as invalid. For more information, see Section 8.11.7, “Invalid Error Code Test (bit
16.2)”.

Functional Blocks
Functional Block: 100Base-TX TP-PMD Operations
The ICS1892 supports both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX operations. The ICS1892 TP-PMD modules
perform 100Base-TX Twisted-Pair Physical Media Dependent (TP-PMD) stream cipher
scrambling/descrambling and MLT-3 encoding/decoding (3-level, multi-level transition) in compliance with
the ANSI Standard X3.263: 199X FDDI TP-PMD as called out in the ISO/IEC 8802-3 standard. The
ICS1892 TP-PMD also performs DC restoration and adaptive equalization on the received signals.
Note:
1. For an overview of the 100Base-TX, see Section 5.5, “100Base-TX Operations”.
2. For more information on the Twisted-Pair Interface, see Section 6.6, “Twisted-Pair Interface”.
7.4.1
100Base-TX Operation: Stream Cipher Scrambler/Descrambler
When the ICS1892 is operating in 100Base-TX mode, it employs a stream cipher scrambler/descrambler
that complies with the ANSI Standard X3.263: 199X FDDI TP-PMD. The purpose of the stream cipher
scrambler is to spread the transmission spectrum to minimize electromagnetic compatibility problems. The
stream cipher descrambler restores the received serial bit stream to its unscrambled form.
The MAC/Repeater Interface bypasses the stream cipher scrambler/descrambler when in the 100M
Symbol Interface mode.
7.4.2
100Base-TX Operation: MLT-3 Encoder/Decoder
When operating in the 100Base-TX mode, the ICS1892 TP-PMD sublayer employs an MLT-3 encoder and
decoder. During data transmission, the TP-PMD encoder converts the NRZI bit stream received from the
PMA sublayer to a 3-level Multi-Level Transition code. The three levels are +1, 0, and -1. The results of
MLT-3 encoding provide a reduction in the transmitted energy over the critical frequency range from 20
MHz to 100 MHz. The TP-PMD MLT-3 decoder converts the received three-level signal back to an NRZI bit
stream.
7.4.3
100Base-TX Operation: DC Restoration
100Base-TX operations employ a stream cipher scrambler to minimize peak amplitudes in the frequency
spectrum. However, the nature of the stream cipher and MLT-3 encoding is such that long sequences of
consecutive zeros or ones can exist. These unbalanced data patterns produce an undesirable DC
component in the data stream.
Baseline wander adversely affects the noise immunity of the receiver, because the ‘baseline’ signal moves
or ‘wanders’ from its nominal DC value.
The ICS1892 employs a unique technique to restore the DC component ‘lost’ by the medium. As a result,
the design is very robust and immune to noise, independent of the data.

Chapter 7
Functional Blocks
100Base-TX Operation: Adaptive Equalizer
The ICS1892 TP-PMD sublayer employs adaptive equalization circuitry to compensate for signal amplitude
and phase distortion incurred from the transmission medium. At a data rate of 100 Mbps, the transmission
medium (that is, the cable) introduces significant signal distortion because of high-frequency attenuation
and phase shift. The high-frequency loss occurs primarily because of the cable skin effect that causes the
conductor resistance to rise as the square of the frequency rises.
In shielded twisted-pair (STP) and unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) category 5 cables with maximum lengths
of 130 meters, the ICS1892 adaptive equalizer accurately compensates for these losses.
For a UTP Category 5 cable that is 100 meters long (the maximum length as per the EIA/TIA-568-A
standard), there are three distinct levels to resolve to recover the MLT-3 encoded data. As a result, the
pulse shape of the received signal is critical.
The ICS1892 employs a DSP-based adaptive equalization technique to compensate for a wide range of
cable lengths. The optimizing parameter for the equalizer adaptation process is the overall ICS1892 bit
error rate, which provides the ICS1892 with a very high overall reliability.
7.4.5
100Base-TX Operation: Twisted-Pair Transmitter
For both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX operations, the ICS1892 uses the same Twisted-Pair Transmit pins
(TP_TXP and TP_TXN) as well as the same internal functional module. The twisted-pair transmitter
module is a current-driven, differential driver that can supply either of the following:
• A two-level 10Base-T (that is, Manchester-encoded) signal
• A three-level 100Base-TX (that is, MLT-3 encoded) signal
The ICS1892 interfaces with the medium through an isolation transformer (also called a magnetic module).
The ICS1892 transmitter uses wave-shaping techniques to control the output signal rise and fall times
(thereby eliminating the need for expensive external filters) and interfaces directly to the isolation
transformer.
Note:
1. In reference to the ICS1892, the term ‘Twisted-Pair Transmitter’ refers to the set of Twisted-Pair
Transmit output pins (TP_TXP and TP_TXN).
2. For information on the 10Base-T Twisted-Pair Transmitter, see Section 7.5.11, “10Base-T Operation:
Twisted-Pair Transmitter”.
7.4.6
100Base-TX Operation: Twisted-Pair Receiver
Twisted-Pair Receiver operations are similar to Twister-Pair Transmitter operations, in that for both
10Base-T and 100Base-TX operations, the ICS1892 uses the same Twister-Pair Receive pins (TP_RXP
and TP_RXN).
However, unlike the transmitter operations (which use the same internal functional module), the ICS1892
employs separate internal twisted-pair receiver modules to process the incoming data: one for 10Base-T
operations and one for 100Base-TX operations. The internal twisted-pair receiver modules interface with
the medium through an isolation transformer. The 100Base-TX receiver module accepts and processes a
differential three-level 100Base-TX (that is, MLT-3 encoded) signal from the isolation transformer.
Note:
1. In reference to the ICS1892, the term ‘Twisted-Pair Receiver’ refers to the set of Twisted-Pair Receive
output pins (TP_RXP and TP_RXN).
2. For information on the 10Base-T Twisted-Pair Receiver, see Section 7.5.12, “10Base-T Operation:
Twisted-Pair Receiver”.

100Base-TX Operation: Auto Polarity Correction (FLP)
• 100Base-TX does not have polarity but the auto-negotiation FLP are sensitive to polarity.
The ICS1892 can sense and then automatically correct a signal polarity that is reversed on its Twisted-Pair
Receiver inputs. A signal polarity reversal occurs if the input signals on the TP_RXP and TP_RXN pins are
crossed or swapped (a problem that can occur during network installation or wiring).
The ICS1892 corrects a reversed signal polarity by examining the signal polarity of the Normal Link Pulses.
Control of this feature is provided by using the 10Base-T Operations Register bit 18.3, the Auto
Polarity-Inhibit bit. When this bit is logic:
• Zero, the ICS1892 automatically senses and corrects a reversed or inverted signal polarity on its
Twisted-Pair Receive pins (TP_RXP and TP_RXN).
• One, the ICS1892 disables this feature.
When the ICS1892 detects a reversed signal polarity on its Twisted-Pair Receiver pins and the Auto
Polarity-Inhibit bit is also logic zero, the ICS1892 (1) automatically corrects the data stream and (2) sets the
Polarity Reversed bit (bit 18.14) to logic one, to indicate to the STA that this situation exists. Bit 18.14 is a
latching high (LH) bit. (For more information on latching high and latching low bits, see Section 8.1.4.1,
“Latching High Bits” and Section 8.1.4.2, “Latching Low Bits”.)
Note:
1. The Auto Polarity Correction Function is primarily a 10Base-T operation. However, it is part of the
Twisted-Pair Receiver and is operational during the 100Base-TX auto-negotiation process.
2. For information on the 10Base-T Auto Polarity Correction, see Section 7.5.13, “10Base-T Operation:
Auto Polarity Correction”.
7.4.8
100Base-TX Operation: Isolation Transformer
As per the ISO/IEC specification, the ICS1892 interfaces with a medium through an isolation transformer.
Typically, for each magnetic module there are two isolation transformers: one for the ICS1892 Twisted-Pair
Transmitter and the other for the ICS1892 Twisted-Pair Receiver. For both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX
operations, these isolation transformers provide both physical isolation as well as the means for coupling a
signal between the ICS1892 and the medium.
Note:
1. For information on magnetic modules, see Section 6.6, “Twisted-Pair Interface”.
2. For information on the 10Base-T Isolation Transformer operation, see Section 7.5.14, “10Base-T
Operation: Isolation Transformer”.

Functional Blocks
Functional Block: 10Base-T Operations
The ICS1892 supports both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX operations. When configured for 10Base-T mode,
the MAC/Repeater Interface can provide either a 10M MII (Media Independent Interface) or a 10M Serial
Interface. The Twisted-Pair Interface is not configurable. ISO/IEC standards specifically define its
operation. (For more information on the Twisted-Pair Interface, see Section 6.6, “Twisted-Pair Interface”.)
There are some important differences between 10Base-T and 100Base-TX operations. The 10Base-T
operation is fundamentally simpler than 100Base-TX. The data rate is slower, requiring less encoding than
100Base-TX operations (that is, the bandwidth requirements and the line attenuation issues are not as
severe as with 100-MHz operations). Consequently, when the ICS1892 is set for 10Base-T operations, it
uses fewer sublayers in contrast to 100Base-TX operations.
For an overview of 10Base-T operations, see Section 5.6, “10Base-T Operations”.
7.5.1 10Base-T Operation: Manchester Encoder/Decoder
The ISO/IEC specification requires the use of a Manchester-encoded signal for 10Base-T operations.
During transmission operations, the ICS1892 acquires data from the MAC/Repeater Interface, in either
4-bit nibbles or as a serial bit stream.
A Manchester Encoder encodes the data before passing it to the Twisted-Pair Transmitter. In a
Manchester-encoded signal, all logic:
• Ones are:
– Positive during the first half of the bit period
– Negative during the second half of the bit period
• Zeros are:
– Negative during the first half of the bit period
– Positive during the second half of the bit period
During reception operations, a Manchester Decoder translates the serial bit stream obtained from the
Twisted-Pair Receiver into an NRZ bit stream. The Manchester Decoder subsequently passes the data to
the MAC/Repeater Interface in either serial or parallel format, depending on the interface configuration.
The advantages in using Manchester-encoded signals are the following:
• Each bit period has an encoded clock.
• The split-phase nature of the signal always provides a zero DC level regardless of the data.
The primary disadvantage in using Manchester-encoded signals is that it doubles the data rate, making it
operationally prohibitive for 100-MHz operations.
7.5.2
10Base-T Operation: Clock Synthesis
The ICS1892 synthesizes the clocks required for synchronizing data transmission. In 10Base-T mode, the
MAC/Repeater Interface can provide either a 10M MII (Media Independent Interface) or a 10M Serial
Interface. When the ICS1892 is configured to support a:
• 10M MII interface, the ICS1892 synthesizes a 2.5-MHz clock for nibble-wide transactions
• 10M Serial Interface to the MAC/repeater, the ICS1892 synthesizes a 10-MHz clock
7.5.3
10Base-T Operation: Clock Recovery
The ICS1892 recovers its receive clock from the data stream obtained from the Twisted-Pair Receiver. It
employs a phase-locked loop (PLL) to recover the clock from this Manchester-encoded data.
Subsequently, the ICS1892 uses this recovered clock for synchronizing the data transmission between
itself and the MAC/repeater. Receive-clock PLL acquisition begins with reception of the MAC Frame
Preamble and continues as long as the ICS1892 is receiving data.

Functional Blocks
10Base-T Operation: Idle
The ICS1892 10Base-T Idle Function transmits link pulses in the absence of data (that is, when the
MAC/repeater is not requiring it to transmit any data). During this time the link is Idle, and the 10Base-T Idle
Function begins periodically transmitting link pulses at a rate of one pulse every 16 ms, as defined in the
ISO/IEC 8802-3 standard. In 10Base-T mode, the ICS1892 transmits link pulses whenever the
MAC/repeater does not have any data available for transmission. The ICS1892 continues transmitting link
pulses while receiving data. Because link pulses indicate an idle state for a link, this situation does not
generate a Collision Detect signal (COL).
7.5.5
10Base-T Operation: Link Monitor
When the ICS1892 is in 10Base-T mode, the Link Monitor Function observes the data received by the
10Base-T Twisted-Pair Receiver to determine the link status. The results of this continual monitoring are
stored in the Link Status bit. The Station Management entity (STA) can access the Link Status bit in either
the Status Register (bit 1.2) or the QuickPoll Detailed Status Register (bit 17.0). This Link Status bit is a
latching low (LL) bit. (For more information on latching high and latching low bits, see Section 8.1.4.1,
“Latching High Bits” and Section 8.1.4.2, “Latching Low Bits”.)
The STA can control the execution of the Smart Squelch Function using bit 18.0 (the Smart Squelch Inhibit
bit in the 10Base-T Operations Register). The Squelch Inhibit bit allows an STA to control the ICS1892
Squelch Detection in 10Base-T mode. When an STA sets this bit to logic:
• Zero, before the ICS1892 can establish a valid link, the ICS1892 must receive valid 10Base-T data.
• One, before the ICS1892 can establish a valid link, the ICS1892 must receive both valid 10Base-T data
followed by an IDL.
The criteria used by the Link Monitoring Function to declare a link either valid (that is, ‘established’ or ‘up’)
or invalid (that is, ‘failed’ or ‘down’) depends upon the present state of the link and the incoming data. When
the 10Base-T link is:
• Valid, the Link Monitor Function continues to report the link as valid as long as it detects either data or
Normal Link Pulses (NLPs) on its Twisted-Pair Receiver. If the 10Base-T Operations Register’s Smart
Squelch Inhibit bit (bit 18.0) is:
– Enabled, before the 10Base-T link can be valid, there must be an IDL at the end of a data packet.
– Disabled, before the 10Base-T link can be valid, all that is needed is a data packet.
• Invalid, the Link Monitor Function must detect one of three events before transitioning the link from the
invalid state to the valid state. If the ICS1892 receives any of the following it changes the status of the
link from invalid to valid:
– More than seven Normal Link Pulses (NLPs)
– Any data
– Any data followed by a valid IDL
The ICS1892 receives data when the Twisted-Pair Receiver phase-locked loop can acquire lock and
extract the receive clock from the incoming data stream for three bit times.
If the ICS1892 receives neither data nor NLPs (that is, the link shows either no activity or inconsistent
activity) for more than 81 to 83 ms, then the ICS1892 declares the link invalid and sets the LL Link Status
bit to logic zero. The LL Link Status bit remains latched in the cleared state until a reset occurs or until
the STA reads it while the link is valid.
Note:
1. When the link is invalid and the ICS1892 detects the presence of data, the ICS1892 does not transition
the link to the valid state until after the reception of the present packet is complete.
2. Enabling or disabling the Smart Squelch Function affects the Link Monitor function.
3. A transition from the invalid state to the valid state does not automatically update the LL Link Status bit.

10Base-T Operation: Smart Squelch
The Smart Squelch Function imposes more stringent requirements on the Link Monitor Function regarding
the definition of a valid link, thereby providing a level of insurance that spurious noise is not mistaken for a
valid link during cable installation.
The STA can control the execution of the Smart Squelch Function using bit 18.0 (the Smart Squelch Inhibit
bit in the 10Base-T Operations Register). When bit 18.0 is logic:
• Zero (the default), the ICS1892 enables the Smart Squelch Function. In this case, the Link Monitor must
confirm the presence of both data and a valid IDL at the end of the packet before declaring a link valid.
For example, in 10Base-T mode, the ICS1892 appends an IDL to the end of each packet during data
transmission. The receiving PHY sees this IDL and removes it from the data stream. Enabling this
function requires the receiving PHY to confirm the presence of this IDL before declaring a link valid.
• One, the ICS1892 disables or inhibits the Smart Squelch Function. In this case, the Link Monitor does
not have to confirm the presence of an IDL to declare a link valid (that is, the reception of any data is
sufficient).
7.5.7
10Base-T Operation: Carrier Detection
The ICS1892 10Base-T Carrier Detection Function establishes the state of the Carrier Sense signal (CRS),
based upon the state of the Boolean “transmitting” and “receiving” variables. These variables indicate
whether the ICS1892 is (1) transmitting data, (2) receiving data, or (3) in a collision state (that is, the
ICS1892 is both transmitting and receiving data on the twisted-pair medium, as defined in the ISO/IEC
8802-3 standard). When the ICS1892 is configured for:
• Half-duplex operations, the ICS1892 asserts the CRS signal when either transmitting or receiving data.
• Full-duplex operations (or when the ICS1892 is in the Repeater mode), the ICS1892 asserts the CRS
signal only when it is receiving data.
7.5.8
10Base-T Operation: Collision Detection
The ICS1892 10Base-T Collision Detection Function establishes the state of the Collision Detection signal
(COL) based upon both (1) the state of the Boolean ”receiving” variable and (2) the Transmit state
machine. When the ICS1892 is operating in:
• Half-duplex mode, the ICS1892 asserts the COL signal to indicate it is receiving data while transmission
of data is also in progress.
• Full-duplex mode, the ICS1892 always sets the Collision Detect signal to FALSE.

10Base-T Operation: Jabber
According to the ISO/IEC 8802-3 standard, a jabber function detects abnormally long transmissions and
takes appropriate actions to avoid them. The ICS1892 Jabber Function monitors the data stream sent to
the Twisted-Pair Transmitter to limit the maximum continuous transmission time as per the ISO/IEC 8802-3
standard. The ISO/IEC specification defines the 10Base-T Jabber activation time limit (that is, the
maximum transmission time) as between 20 ms and 150 ms. The ICS1892 Jabber Function complies with
this specification and has a typical Jabber timer limit of 21 ms. (For more information, see Section 10.5.19,
“10Base-T: Jabber Timing”.)
When the Jabber Function detects that the transmission time exceeds the maximum Jabber time limit, the
ICS1892 asserts the Collision Detect (COL) signal. During this ‘jabber de-activation time’, the data stream
is interrupted and kept from reaching the Twisted-Pair Transmitter for a typical time of 324 ms. This time
complies with the ISO/IEC specification of 0.5 ±0.25 sec (that is, from 250 ms to 750 ms). During this time,
when interrupting the data stream and asserting the COL signal, the ICS1892 transmits Normal Link Pulses
and sets the QuickPoll Detailed Status Register’s Jabber Detected bit (bit 17.2) to logic one. This bit is a
latching high (LH) bit. (For more information on latching high and latching low bits, see Section 8.1.4.1,
“Latching High Bits” and Section 8.1.4.2, “Latching Low Bits”.)
The ICS1892 provides the Station Management entity (STA) with the ability to disable the Jabber Function
with the ICS1892 Jabber Inhibit bit (the 10Base-T Operations Register’s bit 18.5). Setting bit 18.5 to logic:
• Zero (the default) implements the ISO/IEC specified function, as described above.
• One disables the ISO/IEC specified Jabber Function.
7.5.10
10Base-T Operation: SQE Test
The ICS1892 has a Signal Quality Error (SQE) Test module used exclusively for 10Base-T operations.
When enabled, the ICS1892 performs the SQE Test at the completion of each transmitted packet (that is,
whenever the TX_EN signal transitions from high to low). When TX_EN goes low, an enabled SQE Test
typically delays 630 ns and subsequently asserts the COL signal to the MAC Interface for a typical duration
of 1 µs duration. The ISO/IEC specification for (1) the delay is 10 bit times, ± 5 bit times and for (2) the
duration is from 0.6 to 1.6 µs. The ICS1892 SQE Test Function is:
• Enabled only when all the following conditions are true:
–
–
–
–
–
The ICS1892 is in node mode.
The ICS1892 is in half-duplex mode.
A valid link is established.
The 10Base-T Operations Register’s SQE Test Inhibit bit (bit 18.2) is logic zero (the default).
The TX_EN signal has transitioned from high to low.
• Disabled whenever any of the following are true:
– As per the ISO/IEC specification, whenever the ICS1892 is in either of the following modes:
• Repeater mode
• Full-duplex mode
– As per the ISO/IEC specification, whenever the ICS1892 detects a link failure, it automatically
disables the SQE Test Function.
– The 10Base-T Operations Register’s SQE Test Inhibit bit (bit 18.2) is logic one. [This bit provides the
Station Management entity (STA) with the ability to disable the SQE Test function.]
Note:
1. In 10Base-T mode, a bit time = 100 ns.
2. The SQE Test also has the name 10Base-T Heartbeat. For details on the SQE waveforms, see Section
10.5.18, “10Base-T: Heartbeat Timing (SQE)”.

For both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX operations, the ICS1892 uses the same Twisted-Pair Transmit pins
(TP_TXP and TP_TXN) as well as the same internal functional module. The twisted-pair transmitter
module is a current-driven, differential driver that can supply either of the following:
• A two-level 10Base-T (that is, Manchester-encoded) signal
• A three-level 100Base-TX (that is, MLT-3 encoded) signal
The ICS1892 interfaces with the medium through an isolation transformer. The ICS1892 transmitter uses
wave-shaping techniques to control the output signal rise and fall times (thereby eliminating the need for
expensive external filters) and interfaces directly to the isolation transformer.
Note:
1. In reference to the ICS1892, the term ‘Twisted-Pair Transmitter’ refers to the set of Twisted-Pair
Transmit output pins (TP_TXP and TP_TXN).
2. For information on the 100Base-TX Twisted-Pair Transmitter, see Section 7.4.5, “100Base-TX
Operation: Twisted-Pair Transmitter”.
7.5.12
10Base-T Operation: Twisted-Pair Receiver
Twisted-Pair Receiver operations are similar to Twister-Pair Transmitter operations, in that for both
10Base-T and 100Base-TX operations, the ICS1892 uses the same Twister-Pair Receive pins (TP_RXP
and TP_RXN).
However, unlike the transmitter operations (which use the same internal functional module), the ICS1892
employs separate internal twisted-pair receiver modules to process the incoming data: one for 10Base-T
operations and one for 100Base-TX operations. The internal twisted-pair receiver modules interface with
the medium through an isolation transformer. The 10Base-T receiver module accepts and processes a
differential two-level 10Base-T (that is, Manchester-encoded) signal from the isolation transformer.
Note:
1. In reference to the ICS1892, the term ‘Twisted-Pair Receiver’ refers to the set of Twisted-Pair Receive
output pins (TP_RXP and TP_RXN).
2. For information on the 100Base-TX Twisted-Pair Receiver, see Section 7.4.6, “100Base-TX Operation:
Twisted-Pair Receiver”.

10Base-T Operation: Auto Polarity Correction
The ICS1892 can sense and then automatically correct a signal polarity that is reversed on its Twisted-Pair
Receiver inputs. A signal polarity reversal occurs if the input signals on the TP_RXP and TP_RXN pins are
crossed or swapped (a problem that can occur during network installation or wiring).
The ICS1892 corrects a reversed signal polarity by examining the signal polarity of the Normal Link Pulses.
Control of this feature is provided by using the 10Base-T Operations Register bit 18.3, the Auto
Polarity-Inhibit bit. When this bit is logic:
• Zero, the ICS1892 automatically senses and corrects a reversed or inverted signal polarity on its
Twisted-Pair Receive pins (TP_RXP and TP_RXN).
• One, the ICS1892 disables this feature.
When the ICS1892 detects a reversed signal polarity on its Twisted-Pair Receive pins and the Auto
Polarity-Inhibit bit is also logic zero, the ICS1892 (1) automatically corrects the data stream and (2) sets the
Polarity Reversed bit (bit 18.14) to logic one, to indicate to the STA that this situation exists. Bit 18.14 is a
latching high (LH) bit. (For more information on latching high and latching low bits, see Section 8.1.4.1,
“Latching High Bits” and Section 8.1.4.2, “Latching Low Bits”.)
Note:
1. The Auto Polarity Correction Function is primarily a 10Base-T operation. However, it is part of the
Twisted-Pair Receiver and is operational during the 100Base-TX auto-negotiation process.
2. For information on the 100Base-TX Auto Polarity Correction, see Section 7.4.7, “100Base-TX
Operation: Auto Polarity Correction (FLP)”.
7.5.14
10Base-T Operation: Isolation Transformer
As per the ISO/IEC specification, the ICS1892 interfaces with a medium through an isolation transformer.
Typically, for each magnetic module there are two isolation transformers: one for the ICS1892 Twisted-Pair
Transmitter and the other for the ICS1892 Twisted-Pair Receiver. For both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX
operations, these isolation transformers provide both physical isolation as well as the means for coupling a
signal between the ICS1892 and the medium.
Note:
1. For information on magnetic modules, see Section 6.6, “Twisted-Pair Interface”.
2. For information on the 10Base-T Isolation Transformer operation, see Section 7.4.8, “100Base-TX
Operation: Isolation Transformer”

Functional Block: Management Interface
As part of the MII, the ISO/IEC 8802-3 standard specifies a two-wire serial management interface and
protocol. This interface is used to exchange control, status, and configuration information between the
Station Management entity (STA) and the physical layer device (PHY). For using this management
interface, the ISO/IEC standard specifies the following:
• A set of registers (Section 7.6.1, “Management Register Set Summary”)
• The frame structure (Section 7.6.2, “Management Frame Structure”)
• The protocol
The ICS1892 implementation of the management interface complies fully with the ISO/IEC standard. It
provides a bi-directional data pin (MDIO) along with a clock (MDC) for synchronizing the data transfers.
These pins remain active in all MAC/Repeater Interface modes (that is, the 10/100 MII, 100M Symbol, 10M
Serial, and Link Pulse interface modes).
7.6.1
Management Register Set Summary
The ICS1892 implements a Management Register set that adheres to the ISO/IEC standard. This register
set (discussed in detail in Chapter 8, “Management Register Set”) includes the mandatory ‘Basic’ Control
and Status registers as well as the ICS-specific Extended registers.
7.6.2
Management Frame Structure
The Management Interface is a bi-directional serial interface to exchange configuration, control, and status
data between a PHY such as the ICS1892 and the STA. The PHY and STA exchange data by using the
defined register set. The STA initiates all transactions.
The ISO/IEC specification defines a Management Frame Structure for the serial data stream. The ICS1892
complies with the defined frame structure and protocol. Table 7-2 summarizes the Management Frame
Structure.
Note:
The Management Frame Structure starts from and returns to an IDLE condition. However, the
IDLE periods are not part of the Management Frame Structure.

ICS1892 Data Sheet
7.6.2.1
Chapter 7
Functional Blocks
Management Frame Preamble
The ICS1892 continually monitors its management interface for a Management Frame Preamble (PRE),
which indicates the start of an STA transaction. A Management Frame Preamble is a pattern of 32
contiguous logic one bits on the MDIO pin, along with 32 corresponding cycles on the MDC pin.
The ICS1892 supports the Management Frame (MF) Preamble Suppression capability on its Management
Interface, thereby providing a method to shorten the Management Frame and provide an STA with faster
access to the Management Registers. The Management Frame Preamble Suppression bit (bit 1.6 in the
Status Register) indicates whether the ICS1892 can support frames that do not have a preamble.
• The ICS 1890, unlike the ICS1892, does not support MF preamble suppression. Consequently, for the
ICS 1890, bit 1.6 (a Read-Only status bit) is permanently set to logic zero.
• The ICS1892 does support MF preamble suppression. To maintain backward compatibility, the ICS1892
MF Suppression Bit defaults to logic zero after a reset. However, for the ICS1892, this bit is now a
Command Override Write bit instead of a Read-Only bit, thereby providing the STA with the ability to
enable this feature. For an explanation of the Command Override Write bits, see Section 8.1.2,
“Management Register Bit Access”.
7.6.2.2
Management Frame Start
A valid Management Frame includes a start-of-frame delimiter, SFD, immediately following the preamble.
The SFD bit pattern is 01b and is synchronous with two cycles on the MDC pin.
7.6.2.3
Management Frame Operation Code
A valid Management Frame includes an operation code (OP) immediately following the start-of-frame
delimiter. There are two valid operation codes: one for reading from a management register 10b and one
for writing to a management register 01b. The ICS1892 does not respond to the codes 00b and 11b, which
are invalid.
7.6.2.4
Management Frame PHY Address
The ISO/IEC specification is such that a maximum of 32 PHYs can use one set of MDC and MDIO interface
pins. An STA uniquely identifies each of the PHYs sharing a management interface by using the 5-bit PHY
Address field, PHYAD. A valid Management Frame includes a PHYAD field.
Upon receiving a valid STA transaction, the ICS1892 compares the PHYAD included within the frame with
the value of the PHYAD bits stored during a power-on or hardware reset. (For information on the PHYAD
bits, see Table 8-16.) The operation code responds to all transactions that match the internally stored
address bits. The first PHYAD bit transmitted and received is the most-significant bit.
7.6.2.5
Management Frame Register Address
A valid Management Frame includes a 5-bit register address, the REGAD field. This field identifies which of
the 32 Management Registers are to be involved in the transaction. If the operation code is a:
• Read, the REGAD identifies the register used as the source of data returned to the STA by the ICS1892.
• Write, the REGAD identifies the destination register, which is to receive the data sent by the STA to the
ICS1892.
If the STA attempts to:
• Read from a non-existent ICS1892 register, the ICS1892 returns logic zero for all bits in the Data field.
• Write to a non-existent ICS1892 register, the ICS1892 isolates the Data field. The first REGAD bit
transmitted and received is the most-significant bit.

7.6.2.6
Chapter 7
Functional Blocks
Management Frame Turnaround
A valid Management Frame includes a turnaround field (TA), which is a 2-bit time space between the
REGAD field and the Data field. This field requires two bit times and allows the ICS1892 and the STA to
avoid contentions during read transactions. During an operation that is a:
• Read, the ICS1892 remains in the high-impedance state during the first bit time and subsequently drives
the MDIO pin to logic zero for the second bit time.
• Write, the ICS1892 waits while the STA transmits a logic one, followed by a logic zero on the MDIO
signal.
7.6.2.7
Management Frame Data
A valid Management Frame includes a 16-bit Data field for exchanging data between the Management
Registers, and the STA. All Management Registers are 16 bits wide, matching the width of the Data field.
The first Data bit transmitted and received is the most-significant bit of a Management Register, bit X.15.
During a transaction that is a:
• Read, OP is 10b and the ICS1892 obtains the value of the register identified in the REGAD field and
returns the Data to the STA synchronously with the MDC cycles.
• Write, OP is 01b and the ICS1892 stores the value of the Data field in the register identified in the
REGAD field.
If the STA attempts to:
• Read from a non-existent ICS1892 register, the ICS1892 returns logic zero for all bits in the Data field.
• Write to a non-existent ICS1892 register, the ICS1892 isolates the Data field.
7.6.2.8
Idle
MDIO is idle during the time between STA transactions. During this idle time, the ICS1892 disables its
tri-state drivers and the MDIO pin enters a high-impedance state. The ISO/IEC 8802-3 standard requires
that the signal be idle for at least one bit time between management transactions. However, the ICS1892
does not have this limitation as it can support a continual bit stream on its MDIO.

Chapter 8
Management Register Set
Management Register Bit Access
The ICS1892 Management Registers include one or more of the three following types of bits:
Table 8-3. Description of Management Register Bit Types
Management
Register Bit Types
8.1.3
Bit
Symbol
Description
Read-Only
RO
An STA can obtain the value of a RO register bit. However, it cannot
alter the value of (that is, it cannot write to) an RO register bit. The
ICS1892 isolates any STA attempt to write a value to an RO bit.
Command Override
Write
CW
An STA can read a value from a CW register bit. However, write
operations are conditional, based on the value of the Command
Register Override bit (bit 16.15). When bit 16.15 is logic:
• Zero (the default), the ICS1892 isolates STA attempts to write to
the CW bits (that is, CW bits cannot be altered when bit 16.15 is
logic zero).
• One, the ICS1892 permits an STA to alter the value of the CW bits
in the subsequent register write. (Bit 16.15 is self-clearing and
automatically clears to zero on the subsequent write.)
Read/Write
R/W
An STA can unconditionally read from or write to a R/W register bit.
Read/Write Zero
R/W0
An STA can unconditionally read from a R/W0 register bit, but only a
‘0’ value can be written to this bit.
Management Register Bit Default Values
The tables in this chapter specify for each register bit the default value, if one exists. The ICS1892 sets all
Management Register bits to their default values after a reset. Table 8-4 lists the valid default values for
ICS1892 management register bits.
Table 8-4. Range of Possible Valid Default Values for ICS1892 Register Bits
Default Condition
–
Indicates there is no default value for the bit
0
Indicates the bit’s default value is logic zero
1
Indicates the bit’s default value is logic one
State of pin at reset
Note:
Default Value
For some bits, the default value depends on the state of a particular pin at reset
(that is, the state value of a pin is latched at reset.) An example of pins that have
a default condition that depends on the state of the pin at reset are the PHY / LED
pins (P0AC, P1CL, P2LI, P3TD, and P4RD) discussed in Section 6.9, “Status
Interface”, Section 8.11, “Register 16: Extended Control Register”, and Section
9.2.2, “Multi-Function (Multiplexed) Pins: PHY Address and LED Pins”
The ICS1892 has a number of reserved bits throughout the Management Registers. Most of these
bits provide enhanced test modes. The Management Register tables provide the default values for
these bits. The STA must not change the value of these bits under any circumstance. If the STA
inadvertently changes the default values of these reserved register bits, normal operation of the
ICS1892 can be affected.

8.1.4
Chapter 8
Management Register Set
Management Register Bit Special Functions
The three types of special functions for the Management Register bits include the following:
8.1.4.1
Latching High Bits
The purpose of a latching high (LH) bit is to record an event. An LH bit records an event by monitoring an
active-high signal and then latching this active-high signal when it triggers (that is, when the event occurs).
A latching high bit, once set to logic one, remains set until either a reset occurs or it is read by an STA.
Immediately following an STA read of an LH bit, the ICS1892 latches the current state of the signal into the
LH bit. When an STA reads an LH bit:
• Once, the LH bit provides the STA with a history of whether or not the event has occurred since the last
read of that bit. That is, this first read provides the STA with a history of the condition and subsequently
latches the current state of the signal into the LH bit for the next read.
• Twice in succession, the LH bit provides the STA with the current state of the monitored signal.
8.1.4.2
Latching Low Bits
As with latching high bits, the purpose of a latching low (LL) bit is also to record an event. An LL bit records
an event by monitoring an active-low signal and then latching this active-low signal when it triggers (that is,
when the event occurs).
A latching low bit, once cleared to logic zero, remains cleared until either a reset occurs or it is read by an
STA. Immediately following an STA read of an LL bit, the ICS1892 latches the current state of the
active-low signal into the LL bit. When an STA reads an LL bit:
• Once, the LL bit provides the STA with a history of whether or not the event has ever occurred. That is,
this first read provides the STA with a history of the condition and latches the current state of the signal
into the LL bit for the next read.
• Twice in succession, the LL bit provides the STA with the current state of the monitored signal.
8.1.4.3
Latching Maximum Bits
For the ICS1892, the purpose of latching maximum (LMX) bits is to track the progress of internal state
machines. The LMX bits act in combination with other LMX bits to save the maximum collective value of a
defined group of LMX bits, from the most-significant bit to the least-significant bit.
For example, assume a group of LMX bits is defined as register bits 13 through 11. If these bits first have a
value of 3o (octal) and then the state machine they are monitoring advances to state:
• 2o, then the 2o value does not get latched.
• 4o (or any other value greater than 3o), then in this case, the value of 4o does get latched.
LMX bits retain their value until either a reset occurs or they are read by an STA. Immediately following an
STA read of a defined group of LMX bits, the ICS1892 latches the current state of the monitored state
machine into the LMX bits. When an STA reads a group of LMX bits:
• Once, the LMX bits provide the STA with a history of the maximum value that the state machine has
achieved and latches the current state of the state machine into the LMX bits for the next read.
• Twice in succession, the LMX bits provide the STA with the current state of the monitored state machine.
8.1.4.4
Self-Clearing Bits
Self-clearing (SC) bits automatically clear themselves to logic zero after a pre-determined amount of time
without any further STA access. The SC bits have a default value of logic zero and are triggers to begin
execution of a function. When the STA writes a logic one to an SC bit, the ICS1892 begins executing the
function assigned to that bit. After the ICS1892 completes executing the function, it clears the bit to indicate
that the action is complete.

‡ As per the IEEE Std 802.3u, during any write operation to any bit in this register, the STA must write the default value
to all Reserved bits.
8.2.1
Reset (bit 0.15)
This bit controls the software reset function. Setting this bit to logic one initiates an ICS1892 software reset
during which all Management Registers are set to their default values and all internal state machines are
set to their idle state. For a detailed description of the software reset process, see Section 5.1.2.3,
“Software Reset”.
During reset, the ICS1892 leaves bit 0.15 set to logic one and isolates all STA management register
accesses for 640 ns. However, the reset process is not complete until bit 0.15 (a Self-Clearing bit), is set to
logic zero, which indicates the reset process is terminated.

8.2.2
Chapter 8
Management Register Set
Loopback Enable (bit 0.14)
This bit controls the Loopback mode for the ICS1892. Setting this bit to logic:
• Zero disables the Loopback mode.
• One enables the Loopback mode by disabling the Twisted-Pair Transmitter, the Twisted-Pair Receiver,
and the collision detection circuitry. (The STA can override the ICS1892 from disabling the collision
detection circuitry in Loopback mode by writing logic one to bit 0.7.) When the ICS1892 is in Loopback
mode, the data presented at the MAC/repeater transmit interface is internally looped back to the
MAC/repeater receive interface. The delay from the assertion of Transmit Data Enable (TXEN) to the
assertion of Receive Data valid (RXDV) is less than 512 bit times.
8.2.3
Data Rate Select (bit 0.13)
This bit provides a means of controlling the ICS1892 data rate. Its operation depends on the state of
several other functions, including the HW/SW input pin and the Auto-Negotiation Enable bit (bit 0.12).
When the ICS1892 is configured for:
• Hardware mode (that is, the HW/SW pin is logic zero), the ICS1892 isolates this bit 0.13 and uses the
10/100SEL input pin to establish the data rate for the ICS1892. In this Hardware mode:
– Bit 0.13 is undefined.
– The ICS1892 provides a Data Rate Status bit (in the QuickPoll Detailed Status Register, bit 17.15),
which always shows the setting of an active link.
• Software mode (that is, the HW/SW pin is logic one), the function of bit 0.13 depends on the
Auto-Negotiation Enable bit 0.12. When Auto-Negotiation is:
– Enabled, the ICS1892 isolates bit 0.13 and relies on the results of the auto-negotiation process to
establish the data rate.
– Disabled, bit 0.13 determines the data rate. In this case, setting bit 0.13 to logic:
• Zero selects 10-Mbps ICS1892 operations.
• One selects 100-Mbps ICS1892 operations.
8.2.4
Auto-Negotiation Enable (bit 0.12)
This bit provides a means of controlling the ICS1892 Auto-Negotiation sublayer. Its operation depends on
the HW/SW input pin.
When the ICS1892 is configured for:
• Hardware mode, (that is, the HW/SW pin is logic zero), the ICS1892 isolates bit 0.12 and uses the
ANSEL (Auto-Negotiation Select) input pin to determine whether to enable the Auto-Negotiation
sublayer.
Note: In Hardware mode, bit 0.12 is undefined.
• Software mode, (that is, the HW/SW pin is logic one), bit 0.12 determines whether to enable the
Auto-Negotiation sublayer. When bit 0.12 is logic:
– Zero:
• The ICS1892 disables the Auto-Negotiation sublayer.
• The ICS1892 bit 0.13 (the Data Rate bit) and bit 0.8 (the Duplex Mode bit) determine the data rate
and the duplex mode.
– One:
• The ICS1892 enables the Auto-Negotiation sublayer.
• The ICS1892 isolates bit 0.13 and bit 0.8.

Management Register Set
Low Power Mode (bit 0.11)
This bit provides one way to control the ICS1892 low-power mode function. When bit 0.11 is logic:
• Zero, there is no impact to ICS1892 operations.
• One, the ICS1892 enters the low-power mode. In this case, the ICS1892 disables all internal functions
and drives all MAC/repeater output pins low except for those that support the MII Serial Management
Port.
Note:
There are two ways the ICS1892 can enter low-power mode. When entering low-power mode:
• By setting bit 0.11 to logic one, the ICS1892 maintains the value of all management register bits
except the latching high (LH) and latching low (LL) status bits, which are re-initialized to their
default values instead. (For more information on latching high and latching low bits, see Section
8.1.4.1, “Latching High Bits” and Section 8.1.4.2, “Latching Low Bits”.)
• During a reset, the ICS1892 sets all management register bits to their default values.
8.2.6
Isolate (bit 0.10)
This bit controls the ICS1892 Isolate function. When bit 0.10 is logic:
• Zero, there is no impact to ICS1892 operations.
• One, the ICS1892 electrically isolates its data paths from the MAC/Repeater Interface. The ICS1892
places all MAC/repeater output signals, (TXCLK, RXCLK, RXDV, RXER, RXD[3:0], COL, and CRS), in a
high-impedance state and it isolates all MAC/repeater input signals, (TXD[3:0], TXEN, and TXER). In
this mode, the Management Interface continues to operate normally (that is, bit 0.10 does not affect the
Management Interface).
The default value for bit 0.10 depends upon the PHY address of Table 8-16. If the PHY address:
• Is equal to 00000b, then the default value of bit 0.10 is logic one, and the ICS1892 isolates itself from the
MAC/Repeater Interface.
• Is not equal to 00000b, then the default value of bit 0.10 is logic zero, and the ICS1892 does not isolate
its MAC/Repeater Interface.
8.2.7
Restart Auto-Negotiation (bit 0.9)
This bit allows an STA to restart the auto-negotiation process in Software mode (that is, the HW/SW pin is
logic one). When bit 0.12 is logic:
• Zero, the Auto-Negotiation sublayer is disabled, and the ICS1892 isolates any attempt by the STA to set
bit 0.9 to logic one.
• One (as set by an STA), the ICS1892 restarts the auto-negotiation process. Once the auto-negotiation
process begins, the ICS1892 automatically sets this bit to logic zero, thereby providing the self-clearing
feature.

Management Register Set
Duplex Mode (bit 0.8)
This bit provides a means of controlling the ICS1892 Duplex Mode. Its operation depends on several other
functions, including the HW/SW input pin and the Auto-Negotiation Enable bit (bit 0.12). When the ICS1892
is configured for:
• Hardware mode (that is, the HW/SW pin is logic zero), the ICS1892 isolates bit 0.8 and uses the
DPXSEL input pin to establish the Duplex mode for the ICS1892. In this Hardware mode:
– Bit 0.8 is undefined.
– The ICS1892 provides a Duplex Mode Status bit (in the QuickPoll Detailed Status Register, bit
17.14), which always shows the setting of an active link.
• Software mode (that is, the HW/SW pin is logic one), the function of bit 0.8 depends on the
Auto-Negotiation Enable bit, 0.12. When the auto-negotiation process is:
– Enabled, the ICS1892 isolates bit 0.8 and relies upon the results of the auto-negotiation process to
establish the duplex mode.
– Disabled, bit 0.8 determines the Duplex mode. Setting bit 0.8 to logic:
• Zero selects half-duplex operations.
• One selects full-duplex operations. (When the ICS1892 is operating in Loopback mode, it isolates
bit 0.8, which has no effect on the operation of the ICS1892.)
8.2.9
Collision Test (bit 0.7)
This bit controls the ICS1892 Collision Test function. When an STA sets bit 0.7 to logic:
• Zero, the ICS1892 disables the collision detection circuitry for the Collision Test function. In this case, the
COL signal does not track the TXEN signal. (The default value for this bit is logic zero, that is, disabled.)
• One, as per the ISO/IEE 8802-3 standard, clause 22.2.4.1.9, the ICS1892 enables the collision detection
circuitry for the Collision Test function, even if the ICS1892 is in Loopback mode (that is, bit 0.14 is set to
1). In this case, the Collision Test function tracks the Collision Detect signal (COL) in response to the
TXEN signal. The ICS1892 asserts the Collision signal (COL) within 512 bit times of receiving an
asserted TXEN signal, and it de-asserts COL within 4 bit times of the de-assertion of the TXEN signal.
8.2.10
IEEE Reserved Bits (bits 0.6:0)
The IEEE reserves these bits for future use. When an STA:
• Reads a reserved bit, the ICS1892 returns a logic zero.
• Writes to a reserved bit, it must use the default value specified in this data sheet.
The ICS1892 uses some of these reserved bits to invoke auxiliary functions. To ensure proper operation of
the ICS1892, an STA must maintain the default value of these bits. Therefore, ICS recommends that during
any STA write operation, an STA write the default value to all reserved bits, even those bits that are Read
Only.

Register 1: Status Register
Table 8-6 lists the bits for the Status Register, an interface between the ICS1892 and the STA that has 16
bits of data. There are two types of status bits: some report the capabilities of the ICS1892, and some
indicate the state of signals used to monitor internal circuits.
The STA accesses the Status Register using the Serial Management Interface. During a reset, the
ICS1892 initializes the Status Register bits to pre-defined, default values.

† As per the IEEE Std 802.3u, during any write operation to any bit in this register, the STA must write the default value
to all Reserved bits.
8.3.1
100Base-T4 (bit 1.15)
The STA reads this bit to learn if the ICS1892 can support 100Base-T4 operations. Bit 1.15 of the ICS1892
is permanently set to logic zero, which informs an STA that the ICS1892 cannot support 100Base-T4
operations.

100Base-TX Full Duplex (bit 1.14)
The STA reads this bit to learn if the ICS1892 can support 100Base-TX, Full Duplex operations. The
ISO/IEC specification requires that the ICS1892 must set bit 1.14 to logic:
• Zero if it cannot support 100Base-TX, full-duplex operations.
• One if it can support 100Base-TX, full-duplex operations. (For the ICS1892, the default value of bit 1.14
is logic one. Therefore, when an STA reads the Status Register, the STA is informed that the ICS1892
supports 100Base-TX, full-duplex operations.)
This bit 1.14 is a Command Override Write bit, which allows an STA to alter the default value of this bit.
[See the description of bit 16.15, the Command Override Write Enable bit, in Section 8.11, “Register 16:
Extended Control Register”.]
8.3.3
100Base-TX Half Duplex (bit 1.13)
The STA reads this bit to learn if the ICS1892 can support 100Base-TX, half-duplex operations. The
ISO/IEC specification requires that the ICS1892 must set bit 1.13 to logic:
• Zero if it cannot support 100Base-TX, half-duplex operations.
• One if it can support 100Base-TX, half-duplex operations. (For the ICS1892, the default value of bit 1.13
is logic one. Therefore, when an STA reads the Status Register, the STA is informed that the ICS1892
supports 100Base-TX, half-duplex operations.)
This bit 1.13 is a Command Override Write bit, which allows an STA to alter the default value of this bit.
[See the description of bit 16.15, the Command Override Write Enable bit, in Section 8.11, “Register 16:
Extended Control Register”.]
8.3.4
10Base-T Full Duplex (bit 1.12)
The STA reads this bit to learn if the ICS1892 can support 10Base-T, full-duplex operations. The ISO/IEC
specification requires that the ICS1892 must set bit 1.12 to logic:
• Zero if it cannot support 10Base-T, full-duplex operations.
• One if it can support 10Base-T, full-duplex operations. (For the ICS1892, the default value of bit 1.12 is
logic one. Therefore, when an STA reads the Status Register, the STA is informed that the ICS1892
supports 10Base-T, full-duplex operations.)
This bit 1.12 is a Command Override Write bit, which allows an STA to alter the default value of this bit.
[See the description of bit 16.15, the Command Override Write Enable bit, in Section 8.11, “Register 16:
Extended Control Register”.]
8.3.5
10Base-T Half Duplex (bit 1.11)
The STA reads this bit to learn if the ICS1892 can support 10Base-T, half-duplex operations. The ISO/IEC
specification requires that the ICS1892 must set bit 1.11 to logic:
• Zero if it cannot support 10Base-T, half-duplex operations.
• One if it can support 10Base-T, half-duplex operations. (For the ICS1892, the default value of bit 1.11 is
logic one. Therefore, when an STA reads the Status Register, the STA is informed that the ICS1892
supports 10Base-T, half-duplex operations.)
Bit 1.11 of the ICS1892 Status Register is a Command Override Write bit., which allows an STA to alter the
default value of this bit. [See the description of bit 16.15, the Command Override Write Enable bit, in
Section 8.11, “Register 16: Extended Control Register”.]

ICS1892 Data Sheet
8.3.6
Chapter 8
Management Register Set
IEEE Reserved Bits (bits 1.10:7)
The IEEE reserves these bits for future use. When an STA:
• Reads a reserved bit, the ICS1892 returns a logic zero.
• Writes a reserved bit, the STA must use the default value specified in this data sheet.
Both the ISO/IEC standard and the ICS1892 reserve the use of some Management Register bits. ICS uses
some of these reserved bits to invoke ICS1892 test functions. To ensure proper operation of the ICS1892,
an STA must maintain the default value of these bits. Therefore, ICS recommends that an STA write the
default value to all reserved bits during all Management Register write operations.
Reserved bits 1.10:7 are Command Override Write (CW) bits. When bit 16.15, the Command Register
Override bit is logic:
• Zero, the ICS1892 isolates all STA writes to CW bits.
• One, an STA can modify the value of these bits.
8.3.7
MF Preamble Suppression (bit 1.6)
Status Register bit 1.6 is the Management Frame (MF) Preamble Suppression bit. The ICS1892 sets bit 1.6
to inform the STA of its ability to receive frames that do not have a preamble. When this bit is logic:
• Zero, the ICS1892 is indicating it cannot accept frames with a suppressed preamble.
• One, the ICS1892 is indicating it can accept frames that do not have a preamble.
Although the ICS1892 supports Management Frame Preamble Suppression, its default value for bit 1.6 is
logic zero. This default value ensures that bit 1.6 is backward compatible with the ICS 1890, which does not
have this capability. As the means of enabling this feature, bit 1.6 of the ICS1892 is a Command Override
Write bit, instead of a Read-Only bit as in the ICS 1890. An STA uses the bit 1.6 to enable MF Preamble
Suppression in the ICS1892. [See the description of bit 16.15, the Command Override Write Enable bit, in
Section 8.11, “Register 16: Extended Control Register”.]
8.3.8
Auto-Negotiation Complete (bit 1.5)
An STA reads bit 1.5 to determine the state of the ICS1892 auto-negotiation process. The ICS1892 sets the
value of this bit using two criteria. When its Auto-Negotiation sublayer is:
• Disabled, the ICS1892 sets bit 1.5 to logic zero.
• Enabled, the ICS1892 sets bit 1.5 to a value based on the state of the Auto-Negotiation State Machine.
When the Auto-Negotiation State Machine is enabled, it sets bit 1.5 to logic one only upon completion of
the auto-negotiation process. This setting indicates to the STA that a link is arbitrated and the contents of
Management Registers 4, 5 and 6 are valid. For more detailed information regarding the
auto-negotiation process, see Section 7.2, “Functional Block: Auto-Negotiation”.
Bit 1.5 is a latching high (LH) bit. (For more information on latching high and latching low bits, see Section
8.1.4.1, “Latching High Bits” and Section 8.1.4.2, “Latching Low Bits”.)
Note:
An Auto-Negotiation Restart does not clear an LH bit.

8.3.9
Chapter 8
Management Register Set
Remote Fault (bit 1.4)
The STA reads bit 1.4 to determine if a Remote Fault exists. The ICS1892 sets bit 1.4 based on the Remote
Fault bit received from its remote link partner. The ICS1892 receives the Remote Fault bit as part of the
Link Code Word exchanged during the auto-negotiation process. If the remote link partner:
• Sets the Link Code Word Remote Fault bit to logic one, then the ICS1892 sets bit 1.4 to logic one. In this
case, the remote link partner reports the detection of a fault, which typically occurs when the remote link
partner is having a problem with its receive channel.
• Clears the Link Code Word Remote Fault bit to logic zero, then the ICS1892 sets bit 1.4 to logic zero.
Bit 1.4 is a latching high status bit. (For more information on latching high and latching low bits, see Section
8.1.4.1, “Latching High Bits” and Section 8.1.4.2, “Latching Low Bits”.)
Note:
8.3.10
The STA can access the Remote Fault bit through Management Registers 1 (bit 1.4), 5 (bit 5.13),
and 17 (bit 17.1). The Remote Fault bit is cleared when an STA reads any one of these bits.
Auto-Negotiation Ability (bit 1.3)
The STA reads bit 1.3 to determine if the ICS1892 can support the auto-negotiation process. If the
ICS1892:
• Cannot support the auto-negotiation process, it clears bit 1.3 to logic zero.
• Can support the auto-negotiation process, it sets bit 1.3 to logic one. (For the ICS1892, the default value
of bit 1.3 is logic one.)
8.3.11
Link Status (bit 1.2)
The purpose of this Link Status bit (as well as the QuickPoll Register’s Link Status bit, bit 17.0) is to
determine if an established link is dropped, even momentarily. An STA reads bit 1.2 to determine the state
of the link between the ICS1892 and its remote partner. To indicate a link that is:
• Valid, the ICS1892 sets bit 1.2 to logic one.
• Invalid, the ICS1892 clears bit 1.2 to logic zero.
This bit is a latching low (LL) bit that the Link Monitor function controls. (For more information on latching
high and latching low bits, see Section 8.1.4.1, “Latching High Bits” and Section 8.1.4.2, “Latching Low
Bits”.) The criterion used by the Link Monitor to determine if a link is valid or invalid depends on the
following:
•
•
•
•
Type of link
Present link state (valid or invalid)
Presence of any link errors
Auto-negotiation process
The Link Monitor function observes the data received by either 10Base-T or 100Base-TX Twisted-Pair
Receivers to determine the link status. The results of this continual monitoring are stored in the Link Status
bit. An STA can access the Link Status bit in either the Status Register (bit 1.2) or the QuickPoll Detailed
Status Register (bit 17.0).
If Auto-Negotiation mode is enabled, a local receive channel error occurs if link pulses are not present
during the auto-negotiation process or when operating in the 10Base-T mode.
Note:
The Link Status bit is accessible through two Management Registers and is set high when an STA
reads either one of them.

Jabber Detect (bit 1.1)
The purpose of this bit is to allow an STA to read this bit to determine if the ICS1892 detects a Jabber
condition.
The ISO/IEC specification defines the requirements for detection of a Jabber condition.To detect a Jabber
condition, the ICS1892 must first enable its Jabber Detection function, which is controlled by the Jabber
Inhibit bit in the 10Base-T Operations register (bit 18.5). When bit 18.5 is logic:
• Zero, the ICS1892 disables Jabber Detection
• One, the ICS1892 enables Jabber Detection. In this case, when the ICS1892 detects a Jabber condition,
it does the following:
– It sets bit 1.2 to logic one.
– It sets the Jabber Detect bit (bit 1.1 in the Status Register, and mirrored as bit 17.2 in the QuickPoll
Detailed Status Register) to logic one.
Bit 1.1 is a latching high (LH) bit. (For more information on latching high and latching low bits, see Section
8.1.4.1, “Latching High Bits” and Section 8.1.4.2, “Latching Low Bits”.)
8.3.13
Extended Capability (bit 1.0)
The STA reads bit 1.0 to determine if the ICS1892 has an extended register set. In the ICS1892 this bit is
always logic one, indicating that it has extended registers.

Register 2: PHY Identifier Register
Table 8-7 lists the bits for PHY Identifier Register (Register 2), which is one of two PHY Identifier Registers
that are part of a set defined by the ISO/IEC specification. As a set, the PHY Identifier Registers (Registers
2 and 3) include a unique, 32-bit PHY Identifier composed from the following:
• Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI), discussed in this section
• Manufacturer’s PHY Model Number, discussed in Section 8.5, “Register 3: PHY Identifier Register”
• Manufacturer’s PHY Revision Number, discussed in Section 8.5, “Register 3: PHY Identifier Register”
All of the bits in the two PHY Identifier Registers are Command Override Write bits. An STA can read them
at any time without condition. However, an STA can modify these register bits only when the Command
Register Override bit (bit 16.15) is enabled with a logic one.

IEEE-Assigned Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI)
For each manufacturing organization, the IEEE assigns an 3-octet OUI. For Integrated Circuit Systems,
Inc. the IEEE-assigned 3-octet OUI is 00A0BEh.
The binary representation of an OUI is formed by expressing each octet as a sequence of eight bits, from
least significant to most significant, and from left to right. Table 8-8 provides the ISO/IEC-defined mapping
of the OUI (in IEEE Std 802-1990 format) to Management Registers 2 and 3.

Register 3: PHY Identifier Register
Table 8-9 lists the bits for PHY Identifier Register (Register 3), which is one of two PHY Identifier Registers
that are part of a set defined by the ISO/IEC specification. This register stores the following:
• Part of the OUI [see the text in Section 8.4, “Register 2: PHY Identifier Register”]
• Manufacturer’s PHY Model Number
• Manufacturer’s PHY Revision Number
All of the bits in the two PHY Identifier Registers are Command Override Write bits. An STA can read them
at any time without condition. However, An STA can modify these register bits only when the Command
Register Override bit (bit 16.15) is enabled with a logic one.

Register 4: Auto-Negotiation Register
Table 8-11 lists the bits for the Auto-Negotiation Register. An STA uses this register to select the ICS1892
capabilities that it wants to advertise to its remote link partner. During the auto-negotiation process, the
ICS1892 advertises (that is, exchanges) capability data with its remote link partner by using a pre-defined
Link Code Word. The Link Code Word is embedded in the Fast Link Pulses exchanged between PHYs,
when the ICS1892 has its Auto-Negotiation sublayer enabled. The value of the Link Control Word is
established based on the value of the bits in this register.

ICS1892 Data Sheet
8.6.2
Chapter 8
Management Register Set
IEEE Reserved Bit (bit 4.14)
The ISO/IEC specification reserves this bit for future use. However, the ISO/IEC Standard also defines bit
4.14 as the Acknowledge bit.
When this reserved bit is read by an STA, the ICS1892 returns a logic zero. However, whenever an STA
writes to this reserved bit, it must use the default value specified in this data sheet. ICS uses some of these
reserved bits to invoke auxiliary functions. To ensure proper operation of the ICS1892, an STA must
maintain the default value of these bits. Therefore, ICS recommends that an STA always write the default
value of any reserved bits during all management register write operations.
Reserved bit 4.14 is a Command Override Write (CW) bit. Whenever bit 16.15 (the Command Register
Override bit) is logic:
• Zero, the ICS1892 isolates all STA writes to bit 4.14.
• One, an STA can modify the value of bit 4.14.
8.6.3
Remote Fault (bit 4.13)
When the ICS1892 Auto-Negotiation sublayer is enabled, the ICS1892 transmits the Remote Fault bit 4.13
to its remote link partner during the auto-negotiation process. The Remote Fault bit is part of the Link Code
Word that the ICS1892 exchanges with its remote link partner. The ICS1892 sets this bit to logic one
whenever it detects a problem with the link, locally. This data is sent to the remote link partner to inform it
of the potential problem. If the ICS1892 does not detect a link fault, it clears bit 4.13 to logic zero.
Whenever the ICS1892:
• Does not detect a link fault, the ICS1892 clears bit 4.13 to logic zero.
• Detects a problem with the link, during the auto-negotiation process, this bit is set. As a result, the data
on this bit is sent to the remote link partner to inform it of the potential problem.
8.6.4
Technology Ability Field (bits 4.12:5)
When its Auto-Negotiation sublayer is enabled, the ICS1892 transmits its link capabilities to its remote link
partner during the auto-negotiation process. The Technology Ability Field (TAF) bits 4.12:5 determine the
specific abilities that the ICS1892 advertises. The ISO/IEC specification defines the TAF technologies in
Annex 28B.
The ISO/IEC specification reserves bits 4.12:10 for future use. When each of these reserved bits is:
• Read by an STA, the ICS1892 returns a logic zero
• Written to by an STA, the STA must use the default value specified in this data sheet.
ICS uses some of these reserved bits to invoke auxiliary functions. To ensure proper operation of the
ICS1892, an STA must maintain the default value of these bits. Therefore, ICS recommends that an STA
always write the default value of any reserved bits during all management register write operations.
Reserved bits 4.12:10 are Command Override Write (CW) bits. Whenever bit 16.15 (the Command
Register Override bit) is logic: See para 8.1.2
• Zero, the ICS1892 isolates all STA writes to CW bits, including bits 4.12:10.
• One, an STA can modify the value of bits 4.12:10
Each of the bits 4.9:5 in the TAF represent a specific technology capability. When one of these bits is logic:
• Zero, it indicates to the remote link partner that the local device cannot support the technology
represented by the bit.
• One, it indicates to the remote link partner that the local device can support the technology.
With the exception of bit 4.9, the default settings of the TAF bits depend on the ICS1892 operating mode.
Bit 4.9 is always logic zero, indicating that the ICS1892 cannot support 100Base-T4 operations.

8.6.4.1
Chapter 8
Management Register Set
Technology Ability Field: Hardware Mode
When the ICS1892 is operating in Hardware mode (that is, the HW/SW pin is logic zero), these TAF bits are
Read Only bits. The default value of these bits depends on the signal level on the HW/SW pin and whether
the Auto-Negotiation sublayer is enabled.
In Hardware mode, with the ANSEL pin pulled:
• Low to a disabled state, the ICS1892 does not execute the auto-negotiation process. Upon completion
of the initialization sequence, the port proceeds to the idle state and begins ‘sending idles’ according to
the technology mode selected by the 10/100SEL pin and the DPXSEL pin. In this mode, the value of the
TAF bits (bits 4.8:5) are undefined.
• High to an enabled state, the ICS1892 executes the auto-negotiation process and advertises its
capabilities to the remote link partner. The 10/100SEL and DPXSEL input pins determine the single
capability that the ICS1892 advertises. The ICS1892 updates the Auto-Negotiation Advertisement
Register TAF field to indicate the pin selection. The ICS1892 sets only one of these four bits to logic one.
The other three are a logic zero.
Note:
8.6.4.2
The ICS1892 does not alter the value of the Status Register bits. Although the ICS1892 is
advertising only one technology, the ISO/IEC definitions for the Status Register bits require
these bits to indicate all the capabilities of the ICS1892.
Technology Ability Field: Software Mode
In Software mode (that is, the HW/SW pin is logic one), these TAF bits are Command Override Write bits.
The default value of these bits depends on the signal level on the HW/SW pin and whether the
Auto-Negotiation sublayer is enabled.
In Software mode, with the Auto-Negotiation Enable bit (bit 0.12) set to logic:
• Zero (that is, disabled), the ICS1892 does not execute the auto-negotiation process. Upon completion of
the initialization sequence, the port proceeds to the idle state and begins transmitting idles. Two Control
Register bits – the Data Rate Select bit (bit 0.13), and the Duplex Select bit (bit 0.8) – determine the
technology mode that the ICS1892 uses for data transmission and reception. In this mode, the values of
the TAF bits (bits 4.8:5), are undefined.
• One (that is, enabled), the ICS1892 executes the auto-negotiation process and advertises its capabilities
to the remote link partner. The TAF bits (bits 4.8:5), determine the capabilities that the ICS1892
advertises to its remote link partner. For the ICS1892, all of these bits 4.8:5 are set to logic one,
indicating the ability of the ICS1892 to provide these technologies.
Note:
1. The ICS1892 does not alter the value of the Status Register bits based on the TAF bits in register
4, as the ISO/IEC definitions for the Status Register bits require these bits to indicate all the
capabilities of the ICS1892.
2. In this mode, an STA can alter the default TAF bit settings, 4.12:5, and subsequently issue an
Auto-Negotiation Restart.
8.6.5
Selector Field (Bits 4.4:0)
When its Auto-Negotiation Sublayer is enabled, the ICS1892 transmits its link capabilities to its remote Link
Partner during the auto-negotiation process. The Selector Field is transmitted based on the value of bits
4.4:0. These bits indicate to the remote link partner the type of message being sent during the
auto-negotiation process. The ICS1892 supports IEEE Std 802.3, represented by a value of 00001b in bits
4.4:0. The ISO/IEC 8802-3 standard defines the Selector Field technologies in Annex 28A.

Register 5: Auto-Negotiation Link Partner Ability Register
Table 8-12 lists the bits for the Auto-Negotiation Link Partner Ability Register. An STA uses this register to
determine the capabilities being advertised by the remote link partner. During the auto-negotiation process,
the ICS1892 advertises (that is, exchanges) the capability data with its remote link partner using a
pre-defined Link Code Word. The value of the Link Control Word received from its remote link partner
establishes the value of the bits in this register.
Note:
1. For an explanation of acronyms used in Table 8-12, see Chapter 1, “Abbreviations and Acronyms”.
2. The values in this register are valid only when the auto-negotiation process is complete, as indicated by

Acknowledge (bit 5.14)
The ISO/IEC specification defines bit 5.14 as the Acknowledge bit. When this bit is a:
• Zero, it indicates that the remote link partner has not received the ICS1892 Link Control Word.
• One, it indicates to the ICS1892 / STA that the remote link partner has acknowledged reception of the
ICS1892 Link Control Word.
8.7.3
Remote Fault (bit 5.13)
The ISO/IEC specification defines bit 5.13 as the Remote Fault bit. This bit is set based on the Link Control
Word received from the remote link partner. When this bit is a logic:
• Zero, it indicates that the remote link partner does not have a Link Fault.
• One, it indicates to the ICS1892 / STA that the remote link partner detects a Link Fault.
8.7.4
Technology Ability Field (bits 5.12:5)
The Technology Ability Field (TAF) bits (bits 5.12:5), determine the specific abilities that the remote link
partner is advertising. These bits are set based upon the Link Code Word received from the remote link
partner during the auto-negotiation process. The ISO/IEC specification defines the TAF technologies in

• Written to by an STA, the STA must use the default value specified in this data sheet.
ICS uses some of these reserved bits to invoke auxiliary functions. To ensure proper operation of the
ICS1892, an STA must maintain the default value of these bits. Therefore, ICS recommends that an STA

† As per the IEEE Std 802.3u, during any write operation to any bit in this register, the STA must write the default value
to all Reserved bits.
8.8.1
IEEE Reserved Bits (bits 6.15:5)
The ISO/IEC specification reserves these bits for future use. When an STA:
• Reads a reserved bit, the ICS1892 returns a logic zero.
• Writes to a reserved bit, the STA must use the default value specified in this data sheet.
ICS uses some of these reserved bits to invoke auxiliary functions. To ensure proper operation of the
ICS1892, an STA must maintain the default value of these bits. Therefore, ICS recommends that an STA
always write the default value of any reserved bits during all management register write operations.
Reserved bits 5.15:5 are Command Override Write (CW) bits. When the Command Register Override bit
(bit 16.15) is logic:
• Zero, the ICS1892 isolates all STA writes to CW bits.
• One, an STA can modify the value of these bits

Parallel Detection Fault (bit 6.4)
The ICS1892 sets this bit to a logic one if a parallel detection fault is encountered. A parallel detection fault
occurs when the ICS1892 cannot disseminate the technology being used by its remote link partner.
Bit 6.4 is a latching high (LH) status bit. (For more information on latching high and latching low bits, see
Section 8.1.4.1, “Latching High Bits” and Section 8.1.4.2, “Latching Low Bits”.)

sets the Next Page bit in its Link Control Word.
8.8.4
Next Page Able (bit 6.2)
Bit 6.2 is a status bit that reports the capabilities of the ICS1892 to support the Next Page features of the

The ICS1892 sets this bit to a logic one if a parallel detection fault is encountered. A parallel detection fault
occurs when the ICS1892 cannot disseminate the technology being used by its remote link partner.
Bit 6.1 is a latching high (LH) status bit. (For more information on latching high and latching low bits, see
Section 8.1.4.1, “Latching High Bits” and Section 8.1.4.2, “Latching Low Bits”.)
8.8.6
Link Partner Auto-Negotiation Able (bit 6.0)
If the ICS1892:
• Does not receive Fast Link Pulse bursts from its remote link partner, then this bit remains a logic zero.
• Receives valid FLP bursts from its remote link partner (thereby indicating that it can participate in the
auto-negotiation process), then the ICS1892 sets this bit to a logic one.

Management Register Set
Next Page (bit 7.15)
This bit is used by a PHY/STA to enable the transmission of Next Pages following the base Link Control
Word as long as the remote link partner supports the Next Page features of Auto-Negotiation.
This bit is used to establish the state of the Next Page (NP) bit of the Next Page Link Control Word (that is,
the NP bit of the Next Page Link Control Word tracks this bit). During a Next Page exchange, if the NP bit
is logic:
• Zero, it indicates to the remote link partner that this is the last Message or Page.
• One, it indicates to the remote link partner that additional Pages follow this Message.
8.9.2
IEEE Reserved Bit (bit 7.14)
The ISO/IEC specification reserves this bit for future use. When this reserved bits is:
• Read by an STA, the ICS1892 returns a logic zero.
• Written to by an STA, the STA must use the default value specified in this data sheet.
ICS uses some of these reserved bits to invoke auxiliary functions. To ensure proper operation of the
ICS1892, an STA must maintain the default value of these bits. Therefore, ICS recommends that an STA
always write the default value of any reserved bits during all management register write operations.
8.9.3
Message Page (bit 7.13)
The Message Page (MP) bit (bit 7.13) is used to determine the format or type of Page being transmitted.
The value of this bit establishes the state of the MP bit in the Next Page Link Control Word.
If this bit is set to logic:
• Zero, it indicates that the Page is an Unformatted Page.
• One, it indicates to the remote link partner that the Page being transmitted is a Message Page.
8.9.4
Acknowledge 2 (bit 7.12)
This bit is used to indicate the ability of the ICS1892 to comply with a message.
The value of this bit establishes the state of the Ack2 bit in the Next Page Link Control Word. If this bit is set
to logic:
• Zero, it indicates that the ICS1892 cannot comply with the message.
• One, it indicates to the remote link partner that the ICS1892 can comply with the message.
8.9.5
Toggle (bit 7.11)
The Toggle (T) bit (bit 7.11) is used to synchronize the transmission of Next Page messages with the
remote link partner. The value of this bit establishes the state of the Toggle bit in the Next Page Link Control
Word. This bit toggles with each transmitted Link Control Word.
If the previous Next Page Link Control Word Toggle bit has a value of logic:
• Zero, then the Toggle bit is set to logic one.
• One, then the Toggle bit is set to logic zero.
The initial Next Page Link Control Word Toggle bit is set to the inverse of the base Link Control Word bit 11.
8.9.6
Message Code Field / Unformatted Code Field (bits 7.10:0)
Bits 7.10:0 represent either the Message Code field M[10:0] or the Unformatted Code field U[10:0] bits. The

Chapter 8
Management Register Set
Command Override Write Enable (bit 16.15)
The Command Override Write Enable bit provides an STA the ability to alter the Command Override Write
(CW) bits located throughout the MII Register set. A two-step process is required to alter the value of a CW
bit:
1. Step one is to issue a Command Override, that is, bit 16.15 is set to logic one.
2. Step two immediately follows, which is a write to the CW bit that you wish to change. (The Command
Override Write Enable bit is a Self-Clearing bit that is automatically reset to logic zero after the next MII
write, thereby allowing only one subsequent write to alter a CW bit.)
8.11.2
ICS Reserved (bits 16.14:11)
ICS is reserving these bits for future use. Functionally, these bits are equivalent to IEEE Reserved bits.
When one of these reserved bits is:
• Read by an STA, the ICS1892 returns a logic zero.
• Written to by an STA, the STA must use the default value specified in this data sheet.
ICS uses some of these reserved bits to invoke auxiliary functions. To ensure proper operation of the
ICS1892, an STA must maintain the default value of these bits. Therefore, ICS recommends that an STA
always write the default value of any reserved bits during all management register write operations.
8.11.3
PHY Address (bits 16.10:6)
These five bits hold the Serial Management Port Address of the ICS1892. During either a hardware reset
or a power-on reset, the PHY address is read from the LED interface. (For information on the LED
interface, see Section 6.9, “Status Interface” and Section 9.2.2, “Multi-Function (Multiplexed) Pins: PHY
Address and LED Pins”). The PHY address is then latched into this register. (The value of each of the PHY
Address bits is unaffected by a software reset.)
8.11.4
Stream Cipher Scrambler Test Mode (bit 16.5)
The Stream Cipher Scrambler Test Mode bit is used to force the ICS1892 to lose LOCK, thereby requiring
the Stream Cipher Scrambler to resynchronize.
8.11.5
ICS Reserved (bit 16.4)
See Section 8.11.2, “ICS Reserved (bits 16.14:11)”, the text for which also applies here.
8.11.6
NRZ/NRZI Encoding (bit 16.3)
This bit allows an STA to control whether NRZ (Not Return to Zero) or NRZI (Not Return to Zero, Invert on
One) encoding is applied to the serial transmit data stream in 100Base-TX mode. When this bit is logic:
• Zero, the ICS1892 encodes the serial transmit data stream using NRZ encoding.
• One, the ICS1892 encodes the serial transmit data stream using NRZI encoding.

Invalid Error Code Test (bit 16.2)
The Invalid Error Code Test bit allows an STA to force the ICS1892 to transmit symbols that are typically
classified as invalid. The purpose of this test bit is to permit thorough testing of the 4B/5B encoding and the
serial transmit data stream by allowing generation of bit patterns that are considered invalid by the ISO/IEC
4B/5B definition.
When this bit is logic:
• Zero, the ISO/IEC defined 4B/5B translation takes place.
• One – and the TXER signal is asserted by the MAC/repeater – the MII input nibbles are translated
according to Table 8-17.

Stream Cipher Disable (bit 16.0)
The Stream Cipher Disable bit allows an STA to control whether the ICS1892 employs the Stream Cipher
Scrambler in the transmit and receive data paths. When this bit is set to logic:
• Zero, the Stream Cipher Encoder and Decoder are both enabled for normal operations.
• One, the Stream Cipher Encoder and Decoder are disabled. This action results in an unscrambled data
stream (for example, the ICS1892 transmits unscrambled IDLES, and so forth.
Note:
The Stream Cipher Scrambler can be used only for 100-MHz operations.

8.12 Register 17: Quick Poll Detailed Status Register
Table 8-18 lists the bits for the Quick-Poll Detailed Status Register. This register is a 16-bit read-only
register used to provide an STA with detailed status of the ICS1892 operations. During reset, it is initialized
to pre-defined default values.
Note:
1. For an explanation of acronyms used in Table 8-18, see Chapter 1, “Abbreviations and Acronyms”.
2. Most of this register’s bits are latching high or latching low, which allows the ICS1892 to capture and
save the occurrence of an event for an STA to read. (For more information on latching high and latching
low bits, see Section 8.1.4.1, “Latching High Bits” and Section 8.1.4.2, “Latching Low Bits”.)
3. Although some of these status bits are redundant with other management registers, the ICS1892
provides this group of bits to minimize the number of Serial Management Cycles required to collect the
status data.
4. During any write operation to any bit in this register, the STA must write the default value to all
Reserved bits.

Auto-Negotiation Progress Monitor (bits 17.13:11)
The Auto-Negotiation Progress Monitor consists of the Auto-Negotiation Complete bit (bit 17.4) and the

examines the state of the Auto-Negotiation Process State Machine and reports the status of
Auto-Negotiation using the three Auto-Negotiation Monitor bits. Therefore, the value of these three bits
provides the status of the Auto-Negotiation Process.
These three bits are initialized to logic zero in one of the following ways:
• A reset (see Section 5.1, “Reset Operations”)
• Disabling Auto-Negotiation [see Section 8.2.4, “Auto-Negotiation Enable (bit 0.12)”]
• Restarting Auto-Negotiation [see Section 8.2.7, “Restart Auto-Negotiation (bit 0.9)”]
If Auto-Negotiation is enabled, these bits continually latch the highest state that the Auto-Negotiation State
Machine achieves. That is, they are updated only if the binary value of the next state is greater than the
binary value of the present state as outlined in Table 8-19.
Note:
An MDIO read of these bits provides a history of the greatest progress achieved by the
auto-negotiation process. In addition, the MDIO read latches the present state of the
Auto-Negotiation State Machine for a subsequent read.

100Base Receive Signal Lost (bit 17.10)
The 100Base Receive Signal Lost bit indicates to an STA whether the ICS1892 has lost its 100Base
Receive Signal. If this bit is set to a logic:
• Zero, it indicates the Receive Signal has remained valid since the last read of this register.
• One, it indicates the Receive Signal was lost after the last read of this register.
This bit is a latching high bit. (For more information on latching high and latching low bits, see Section
8.1.4.1, “Latching High Bits” and Section 8.1.4.2, “Latching Low Bits”.)

PLL Lock Error (bit 17.9)
The Phase Locked Loop (PLL) Lock Error bit indicates to an STA whether the ICS1892 has ever
experienced a PLL Lock Error. A PLL Lock Error occurs when a the PLL fails to lock onto the incoming
100Base data stream. If this bit is set to a logic:
• Zero, it indicates that a PLL Lock Error has not occurred since the last read of this register.
• One, it indicates that a PLL Lock Error has occurred after the last read of this register.
This bit is a latching high bit. (For more information on latching high and latching low bits, see Section
8.1.4.1, “Latching High Bits” and Section 8.1.4.2, “Latching Low Bits”.)
Note:
8.12.6
This bit has no definition in 10Base-T mode.
False Carrier (bit 17.8)
The False Carrier bit indicates to an STA the detection of a False Carrier by the ICS1892 in 100Base mode.
A False Carrier occurs when the ICS1892 begins evaluating potential data on the incoming 100Base data
stream, only to learn that it was not a valid /J/K/. If this bit is set to a logic:
• Zero, it indicates that a False Carrier has not been detected since the last read of this register.
• One, it indicates that a False Carrier was detected since the last read of this register.
This bit is a latching high bit. (For more information on latching high and latching low bits, see Section
8.1.4.1, “Latching High Bits” and Section 8.1.4.2, “Latching Low Bits”.)
Note:
8.12.7
This bit has no definition in 10Base-T mode.
Invalid Symbol (bit 17.7)
The Invalid Symbol bit indicates to an STA the detection of an Invalid Symbol in a 100Base data stream by
the ICS1892.
During reception of a valid packet, the ICS1892 examines each Symbol to ensure that the data being
passed to the MAC/Repeater Interface is error free. If an error occurs, the ICS1892 indicates this condition
to the MAC/repeater. An Invalid Symbol occurs when the ICS1892 evaluates a valid packet and finds an
Invalid Symbol in the data.
If this bit is set to a logic:
• Zero, it indicates an Invalid Symbol has not been detected since the last read of this register.
• One, it indicates an Invalid Symbol was detected since the last read of this register.
This bit is a latching high bit. (For more information on latching high and latching low bits, see Section
8.1.4.1, “Latching High Bits” and Section 8.1.4.2, “Latching Low Bits”.)

Halt Symbol (bit 17.6)
The Halt Symbol bit indicates to an STA the detection of an Halt Symbol in a 100Base data stream by the
ICS1892.
During reception of a valid packet, the ICS1892 examines each symbol to ensure that the data being
passed to the MAC/Repeater Interface is error free. In addition, it looks for special symbols such as the Halt
Symbol. If a Halt Symbol is encountered, the ICS1892 indicates this condition to the MAC/repeater.
If this bit is set to a logic:
• Zero, it indicates a Halt Symbol has not been detected since the last read of this register.
• One, it indicates a Halt Symbol was detected in the packet since the last read of this register.
This bit is a latching high bit. (For more information on latching high and latching low bits, see Section
8.1.4.1, “Latching High Bits” and Section 8.1.4.2, “Latching Low Bits”.)
Note:
8.12.9
This bit has no definition in 10Base-T mode.
Premature End (bit 17.5)
The Premature End bit indicates to an STA the detection of two consecutive Idles in a 100Base data stream
by the ICS1892.
During reception of a valid packet, the ICS1892 examines each symbol to ensure that the data being
passed to the MAC/Repeater Interface is error free. If two consecutive Idles are encountered it indicates
this condition to the MAC/repeater by setting this bit.
If this bit is set to a logic:
• Zero, it indicates a Premature End condition has not been detected since the last read of this register.
• One, it indicates a Premature End condition was detected in the packet since the last read of this
register.
This bit is a latching high bit. (For more information on latching high and latching low bits, see Section
8.1.4.1, “Latching High Bits” and Section 8.1.4.2, “Latching Low Bits”.)
Note:
8.12.10
This bit has no definition in 10Base-T mode.
Auto-Negotiation Complete (bit 17.4)
The Auto-Negotiation Complete bit is used to indicate to an STA the completion of the Auto-Negotiation
process. When this bit is set to logic:
• Zero, it indicates that the auto-negotiation process is either not complete or is disabled by the Control
Register’s Auto-Negotiation Enable bit (bit 0.12)
• One, it indicates that the ICS1892 has completed the auto-negotiation process and that the contents of
Management Registers 4, 5, and 6 are valid.
8.12.11 100Base-TX Signal Detect (bit 17.3)
The 100Base-TX Signal Detect bit indicates either the presence or absence of a signal on the Twisted-Pair
Receive pins (TP_RXP and TP_RXN) in 100Base-TX mode. This bit is logic:
• Zero when no signal is detected on the Twisted-Pair Receive pins and logic.
• One when a signal is present on these pins.
8.12.12
Jabber Detect (bit 17.2)
Bit 17.2 is functionally identical to bit 1.1. The Jabber Detect bit indicates whether a jabber condition has
occurred. This bit is a 10Base-T function.

ICS Reserved (bit 18.15)
ICS reserves this bit for future use. Functionally, this bit is equivalent to an IEEE Reserved bit. When this
reserved bits is:
• Read by an STA, the ICS1892 returns a logic zero.
• Written to by an STA, the STA must use the default value specified in this data sheet.
In general, ICS uses some reserved bits to invoke auxiliary functions. To ensure proper operation of the
ICS1892, an STA must maintain the default value of these bits. Therefore, ICS recommends that an STA
always write the default value of any reserved bits during all management register write operations.

Polarity Reversed (bit 18.14)
The Polarity Reversed bit is used to inform an STA whether the ICS1892 has detected that the signals on
the Twisted-Pair Receive Pins (TP_RXP and TP_RXN) are reversed. When the signal polarity is:
• Correct, the ICS1892 sets bit 18.14 to a logic zero.
• Reversed, the ICS1892 sets bit 18.14 to logic one.
Note:
8.13.3
The ICS1892 can detect this situation and perform all its operations normally, independent of the
reversal.
ICS Reserved (bits 18.13:6)
See Section 8.13.1, “ICS Reserved (bit 18.15)”, the text for which also applies here.
8.13.4
Jabber Inhibit (bit 18.5)
The Jabber Inhibit bit allows an STA to disable Jabber Detection. When an STA sets this bit to:
• Zero, the ICS1892 enables 10Base-T Jabber checking.
• One, the ICS1892 disables its check for a Jabber condition during data transmission.
8.13.5
ICS Reserved (bit 18.4)
See Section 8.13.1, “ICS Reserved (bit 18.15)”, the text for which also applies here.
8.13.6
Auto Polarity Inhibit (bit 18.3)
The Auto Polarity Inhibit bit allows an STA to prevent the automatic correction of a polarity reversal on the
Twisted-Pair Receive pins (TP_RXP and TP_RXN). If an STA sets this bit to logic:
• Zero (the default), the ICS1892 automatically corrects a polarity reversal on the Twisted-Pair Receive
pins.
• One, the ICS1892 either disables or inhibits the automatic correction of reversed Twisted-Pair Receive
pins.
Note:
8.13.7
This bit is also used to correct a reversed signal polarity for 100Base-TX operations.
SQE Test Inhibit (bit 18.2)
The SQE Test Inhibit bit allows an STA to prevent the generation of the Signal Quality Error pulse. When an
STA sets this bit to logic:
• Zero, the ICS1892 enables its SQE Test generation.
• One, the ICS1892 disables its SQE Test generation.
The SQE Test provides the ability to verify that the Collision Logic is active and functional. A 10Base-T SQE
test is performed by pulsing the Collision signal for a short time after each packet transmission completes,
that is, after TXEN goes inactive.
Note:
1. The SQE Test is automatically inhibited in full-duplex and repeater modes, thereby disabling the
functionality of this bit.
2. This bit is a control bit and not a status bit. Therefore, it is not updated to indicate this automatic
inhibiting of the SQE test in full-duplex mode or repeater mode.

Link Loss Inhibit (bit 18.1)
The Link Loss Inhibit bit allows an STA to prevent the ICS1892 from dropping the link in 10Base-T mode.
When an STA sets this bit to logic:
• Zero, the state machine behaves normally and the link status is based on the signaling detected TwistedPair Receiver inputs.
• One, the ICS1892 10Base-T Link Integrity Test state machine is forced into the ‘Link Passed’ state
regardless of the Twisted-Pair Receiver input conditions.
8.13.9
Squelch Inhibit (bit 18.0)
The Squelch Inhibit bit allows an STA to control the ICS1892 Squelch Detection in 10Base-T mode. When
an STA sets this bit to logic:
• Zero, before the ICS1892 can establish a valid link, the ICS1892 must receive valid 10Base-T data.
• One, before the ICS1892 can establish a valid link, the ICS1892 must receive both valid 10Base-T data
followed by an IDL.

Node/Repeater Configuration (bit 19.15)
The Node/Repeater Configuration bit directly indicates the state of the NOD/REP input pin. When this bit is
logic:
• Zero, the NOD/REP input pin is pulled down, which instructs the operation code to operate in Node
mode.
• One, the NOD/REP input pin is pulled up, which instructs the ICS1892 to operate in Repeater mode.
There are two primary differences between Node mode and Repeater mode.
• In Node mode:
– The SQE Test default setting is enabled.
– The Carrier Sense signal (CRS) is asserted in response to either transmit or receive activity.
• In Repeater mode:
– The SQE Test default setting is disabled.
– The Carrier Sense signal (CRS) is asserted in response only to receive activity.
8.14.2
Hardware/Software Priority Status (bit 19.14)
The Hardware/Software Priority Status bit directly indicates the state of the HW/SW pin. When this bit is
logic:
• Zero, the hardware pins have priority over the (software) register bits for establishing the ICS1892
configuration.
• One, the (software) register bits have priority over the hardware pins for establishing the ICS1892
configuration.
8.14.3
Remote Fault (bit 19.13)
The ISO/IEC specification defines bit 5.13 as the Remote Fault bit, and bit 19.13 is functionally identical to
bit 5.13. The Remote Fault bit is set based on the Link Control Word received from the remote link partner.
When this bit is a logic:
• Zero, it indicates the remote link partner does not detect a Link Fault.
• One, it indicates to the ICS1892/STA that the remote link partner detects a Link Fault.

ICS Reserved (bits 19.12:2)
ICS reserves these bits for future use. Functionally, these bits are equivalent to an IEEE Reserved bit.
When each of these reserved bits is:

• Written to by an STA, the STA must use the default value specified in this data sheet.
In general, ICS uses some reserved bits to invoke auxiliary functions. To ensure proper operation of the

When this bit is set to logic:
• Zero, the 10Base-T Transceiver does not power down automatically in 100Base-TX mode.
• One, and the ICS1892 is operating in 100Base-TX mode, the 10Base-T Transceiver automatically turns
off to reduce the overall power consumption of the ICS1892.
Note:

Input
Twisted-Pair Receive (Data) Positive.
Data reception of differential analog signals occurs over the TP_RXN
and TP_RXP pair of differential-signal pins. Together these pins receive
the serial bit stream from the UTP cable through an isolation
transformer.
Depending on the operating mode of the remote link partner, the
received data is one of the following types of signals:
• Two-level (10Base-T, that is, Manchester encoded) signals
• Three-level (100Base-TX, that is, MLT-3 encoded) signals
These signals interface directly to an isolation transformer, which in
turn, interfaces with the UTP cable.

Pin Diagram, Listings, and Descriptions
Multi-Function (Multiplexed) Pins: PHY Address and LED Pins
Table 9-4 lists the pins for the multifunction group of pins (that is, the multiplexed PHY Address / LED pins).
Note:
1. During either a power-on reset or a hardware reset, each multi-function configuration pin is an input
that is sampled when the ICS1892 exists the reset state. After sampling is complete, these pins are
output pins that can drive status LEDs.
2. A software reset does not affect the state of a multi-function configuration pin. During a software reset,
all multi-function configuration pins are outputs.
3. Each multi-function configuration pin must be pulled either up or down with a resistor to establish the
address of the ICS1892. LEDs placed in series with these resistors provide a designated status
indicator.
Caution:
All pins listed inTable 9.4 must not float.
4. As outputs, the asserted state of a multi-function configuration pin is the inverse of the sense sampled
during reset. This inversion provides a signal that can illuminate an LED during an asserted state. For
example, if a multi-function configuration pin is pulled down to ground through an LED and a
current-limiting resistor, then the sampled sense of the input is low. To illuminate an LED for the
asserted state requires the output to be high.
Caution:
Note:
PHY Address 00 will tri-state the MII interface.
Each of these pins monitor the data link by providing signals that directly drive LEDs.

The ‘Pin Type’ for these multiplexed pins depends on the where the
ICS1892 is in its reset cycle.
• During a reset of the ICS1892, these pins act as inputs.
• After a reset of the ICS1892, these pins latch the state of the inputs into
their respective PHY Address bits. (See Table 8-16.) The ICS1892 then
converts the pin signal to an output that can drive the respective LED
directly.
For more information, see Section 6.9, “Status Interface”.

COL
49
Output
Collision (Detect).
The ICS1892 asserts a signal on the COL pin when the ICS1892 detects
receive activity while transmitting (that is, while the TXEN signal is
asserted by the MAC/repeater, that is, when transmitting). When the
mode is:
• 10Base-T, the ICS1892 detects receive activity by monitoring the
un-squelched MDI receive signal.
• 100Base-TX, the ICS1892 detects receive activity when there are two
non-contiguous zeros in any 10-bit symbol derived from the MDI
receive data stream.
Note:
1. The signal on the COL pin is not synchronous to either RXCLK or
TXCLK.
2. In full-duplex mode, the COL signal is disabled and always remains
low.
3. The COL signal is asserted as part of the signal quality error (SQE)
test. This assertion can be suppressed with the SQE Test Inhibit bit (bit
18.2).
CRS
50
Output
Carrier Sense.
• In half-duplex mode, the ICS1892 asserts a signal on the CRS pin
when the ICS1892 detects either receive or transmit activity.
• In full-duplex mode and Repeater mode, the ICS1892 asserts a signal
on the CRS pin only when the ICS1892 detects receive activity.
Note: The signal on the CRS pin is not synchronous to either RXCLK or
TXCLK.
MDC
31
Input
Management Data Clock.
The ICS1892 uses the signal on the MDC pin to synchronize the transfer
of management information between the ICS1892 and the Station
Management Entity (STA), using the serial MDIO data line. The MDC
signal is sourced by the STA.

Pin Description
Management Data Input/Output.
This pin’s signal is a tri-statable line driven by one of the following:
• Station management (STA), to transfer command information
• The ICS1892, to transfer status information.
All transfers and sampling are synchronous with the signal on the MDC
pin.
Note: If the ICS1892 is to be used in an application that uses the
mechanical MII specification, MDIO must have a 1.5 kΩ ±5%
pull-up resistor at the ICS1892 end and a 2 kΩ ±5% pull-down
resistor at the station management end. (These resistors enable
the station management to determine if the connection is intact.)
Receive Clock.
The ICS1892 sources the RXCLK to the MAC/repeater. The ICS1892
uses RXCLK to synchronize the signals on the following pins: RXD0–3,
RXDV, and RXER. The following table contrasts the behavior on the
RXCLK pin when the mode for the ICS1892 is either 10Base-T or
100Base-TX.
10Base-T
100Base-TX
The RXCLK frequency is 2.5 MHz.
The RXCLK frequency is 25 MHz.
The ICS1892 generates RXCLK
from the MDI data stream using a
digital PLL. When the MDI data
stream terminates, the PLL
continues to operate, synchronously
referenced to the last packet
received.
The ICS1892 generates RXCLK
from the MDI data stream while there
is a valid link (that is, either data or
IDLEs). In the absence of a link, the
ICS1892 uses the REFIN clock to
generate the RXCLK.
The ICS1892 switches between
clock sources during the period
between when CRS is being
asserted and RXDV is being
asserted. While the ICS1892 locks
onto the incoming data stream, a
clock phase change of up to 360
degrees can occur.

The ICS1892 asserts RXDV to indicate to the MAC/repeater that data is

• Asserts RXDV after it detects and recovers the Start-of-Stream
delimiter, /J/K/. (For the timing reference, see Chapter 10.5.6, “MII /
100M Stream Interface: Synchronous Receive Timing”.)
• De-asserts RXDV after it detects either the End-of-Stream delimiter
(/T/R/) or a signal error.
Note: RXDV is synchronous with the Receive Data Clock, RXCLK.
RXER
38
Output
Receive Error.
In 100Base-TX mode, the ICS1892 asserts a signal on the RXER pin
under two conditions:
• When errors are detected during the reception of valid frames.
• When a False Carrier is detected.
Note:
1. The ICS1892 asserts a signal on RXER upon detection of a False
Carrier so that repeater applications can prevent the propagation of a
False Carrier.
2. RXER always transitions synchronously with RXCLK.
RXTRI
39
Input
Receive (Interface), Tri-State.
The input on this pin is from a MAC. When the signal on this pin is logic:
• Low, the MAC indicates that it is not in a tri-state condition.
• High, the MAC indicates that it is in a tri-state condition. In this case,
the ICS1892 acts to ensure that only one PHY is active at a time.
• PHY address 00 will also act as RXTRI.

TXEN
44
Input
Transmit Enable.
The signal on this pin indicates to the ICS1892 that the MAC/repeater is
sending valid data nibbles for transmission on the physical media.
• Synchronous with the assertion of TXEN, the ICS1892 begins reading
the data nibbles on the transmit data lines and transmitting them over
the media.
• Following the de-assertion of TXEN, the ICS1892 terminates
transmission of nibbles.
TXER
42
Input
Transmit Error.
When the mode is:
• 10Base-T, TXER is not required.
• 100Base-TX mode:
– The assertion of TXER by the MAC/repeater causes the ICS1892 to
transmit Invalid Symbols. (The ICS1892 synchronously samples the
TXER signal on the rising edges of TXCLK.)
– The Invalid Symbol used for this function is the HALT symbol, which
is substituted for the transmit nibble received from the
MAC/repeater.
– When the Invalid Error Code Test bit (bit 16.2) is set to logic one, the
5-bit symbol shown in the Invalid Error Code Translation Table
(Table 8-17) is used instead of the normal 4B/5B encoding described
in the ISO/IEC specification.

10M (Serial Interface) Receive Clock.
The 10RCLK pin name is the 10M Serial Interface mapping of
the MII RXCLK (Receive Clock) pin name. The ICS1892
sources the 10RCLK to the MAC/repeater. The ICS1892 uses
10RCLK to synchronize the signals on the 10RD and 10RXDV
pins. The following table contrasts the behavior on the 10RCLK
pin when the mode for the ICS1892 is either 10Base-T or
100Base-TX.
MII Pin
Name
Pin Description
10Base-T Serial
The10RCLK frequency is 10
MHz.
The ICS1892 generates
10RCLK from the MDI data
stream using a digital PLL.
When the MDI data stream
terminates, the PLL continues
to operate, synchronously
referenced to the last packet
received.
The ICS1892 switches
between clock sources during
the period between when
10CRS is being asserted and
10RXDV is being asserted.
While the ICS1892 locks onto
the incoming data stream, a
clock phase change of up to
360 degrees can occur.
Note: The signal on the 10RCLK pin is conditioned by RXTRI.

Input
10M (Serial Interface) Receive Data Valid.
The ICS1892 asserts 10RXDV to indicate to the MAC/repeater
that data is available on the MII Receive Bus (RXD[3:0]). The
ICS1892:
• Asserts 10RXDV after it detects and recovers the
Start-of-Stream delimiter, /J/K/. (For the timing reference,
see Chapter 10.5.6, “MII / 100M Stream Interface:
Synchronous Receive Timing”.)
• De-asserts 10RXDV after it detects either the End-of-Stream
delimiter (/T/R/) or a signal error.
Note: 10RXDV is synchronous with the Receive Data Clock,
10RCLK.
Receive (Interface), Tri-State.
The input on this pin is from a MAC. When the signal on this pin
is logic:
• Low, the MAC indicates that it is not in a tri-state condition.
• High, the MAC indicates that it is in a tri-state condition. In
