10 Base-T Card Bus Module with
Integrated Predistortion Resistors
ELECTRONICS INC.
EPE6138A
The circuit below is a guideline for interconnecting PCA’s EPE6138A with ASICS for 10 Base-T PHY chip over UTP cable.
Further details of system design, such as chip pin-out, etc. can be obtained from the Card Bus specific chip manufacturer.
Typical insertion loss of the isolation transformer/filter is 0.7dB. This parameter covers the entire spectrum of the encoded
signals in 10 Base-T protocols. However, the predistortion resistor network introduces some loss which has to be taken
into account in determining how well your design meets the Standard Template requirements.
Thevenin’s equivalent termination impedance provided by the transmitt outputs is 2*(287//68.1) ohms or approx. 110
ohms. Thus, bench testing for return loss will assume an output impedance less than 1 ohms on each of the driver outpust.
Note that some systems have auto polarity detection and some do not. If not, be certain to follow the proper polarity.
It is recommended that system designers ground the chip side center taps via a low voltage capacitor. Taking the cable
side center taps to chassis via capacitors, is not recommended, as this will add cost without containing EMI. This may
worsen EMI, specifically if the primary “common mode termination” is pulled to ground as shown.
The pulldown resistors used around the RJ45 connector have been known to suppress unwanted radiation that unused
wires pick up from the immediate environment. Their placement and use are to be considered carefully before a design is
finalized.
It is recommended that there be a neat separation of ground planes in the layout. It is generally accepted practice to limit
the plane off at least 0.08 inches away from the chip side pins of EPE6138A. There need not be any ground plane beyond
this point.
For best results, PCB designer should design the outgoing traces preferably to be 50 ohms, balanced and well coupled to
achieve minimum radiation from these traces.
