LXT971A 3.3V Dual-Speed Fast Ethernet Transceiver
3.0
Functional Description
3.1
Introduction
The LXT971A is a single-port Fast Ethernet 10/100 transceiver that supports 10 Mbps and 100
Mbps networks and complies with all applicable requirements of IEEE 802.3. The LXT971A
directly drives either a 100BASE-TX line (up to 140 meters) or a 10BASE-T line (up to 185
meters). The device also supports 100BASE-FX operation via a Low Voltage PECL (LVPECL)
interface.
3.1.1
Comprehensive Functionality
The LXT971A provides a standard Media Independent Interface (MII) for 10/100 MACs. The
LXT971A performs all functions of the Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) and Physical Media
Attachment (PMA) sublayer as defined in the IEEE 802.3 100BASE-X standard. This device also
performs all functions of the Physical Media Dependent (PMD) sublayer for 100BASE-TX
connections.
The LXT971A reads its configuration pins on power-up to check for forced operation settings. If
not configured for forced operation, the device uses auto-negotiation/parallel detection to
automatically determine line operating conditions. If the PHY device on the other side of the link
supports auto-negotiation, the LXT971A auto-negotiates with it using Fast Link Pulse (FLP)
Bursts. If the PHY partner does not support auto-negotiation, the LXT971A automatically detects
the presence of either link pulses (10 Mbps PHY) or Idle symbols (100 Mbps PHY) and sets its
operating conditions accordingly.
The LXT971A provides half-duplex and full-duplex operation at 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps.
3.1.2
OSP™ Architecture
The LXT971A incorporates high-efficiency Optimal Signal Processing™ design techniques,
combining the best properties of digital and analog signal processing to produce a truly optimal
device.
The receiver utilizes decision feedback equalization to increase noise and cross-talk immunity by
as much as 3 dB over an ideal all-analog equalizer. Using OSP mixed-signal processing techniques
in the receive equalizer avoids the quantization noise and calculation truncation errors found in
traditional DSP-based receivers (typically complex DSP engines with A/D converters). This results
in improved receiver noise and cross-talk performance.
The OSP signal processing scheme also requires substantially less computational logic than
traditional DSP-based designs. This lowers power consumption and also reduces the logic
switching noise generated by DSP engines. This logic switching noise can be a considerable source
of EMI generated on the device’s power supplies.
The OSP-based LXT971A provides improved data recovery, EMI performance and low power
consumption.

LXT971A 3.3V Dual-Speed Fast Ethernet Transceiver
3.2
Network Media / Protocol Support
The LXT971A supports both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet over twisted-pair, or
100 Mbps Ethernet over fiber media (100BASE-FX).
3.2.1
10/100 Network Interface
The network interface port consists of five external pins (two differential signal pairs and a signal
detect pin). The I/O pins are shared between twisted-pair (TP) and fiber. Refer to Figure 3 on page
13 for specific pin assignments.
The LXT971A output drivers generate either 100BASE-TX, 10BASE-T, or 100BASE-FX output.
When not transmitting data, the LXT971A generates 802.3-compliant link pulses or idle code.
Input signals are decoded either as a 100BASE-TX, 100BASE-FX, or 10BASE-T input, depending
on the mode selected. Auto-negotiation/parallel detection or manual control is used to determine
the speed of this interface.
3.2.1.1
Twisted-Pair Interface
The LXT971A supports either 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T connections over 100Ω, Category 5,
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable. When operating at 100 Mbps, the LXT971A continuously
transmits and receives MLT3 symbols. When not transmitting data, the LXT971A generates
“IDLE” symbols.
During 10 Mbps operation, Manchester-encoded data is exchanged. When no data is being
exchanged, the line is left in an idle state. Link pulses are transmitted periodically to keep the link
up.
Only a transformer, RJ-45 connector, load resistor, and bypass capacitors are required to complete
this interface. On the transmit side, the LXT971A has an active internal termination and does not
require external termination resistors. Intel's patented waveshaping technology shapes the outgoing
signal to help reduce the need for external EMI filters. Four slew rate settings (refer to Table 4 on
page 18) allow the designer to match the output waveform to the magnetic characteristics. On the
receive side, the internal impedance is high enough that it has no practical effect on the external
termination circuit.
3.2.1.2
Fiber Interface
The LXT971A fiber port is designed to interface with common industry-standard fiber modules. It
incorporates a Low Voltage PECL interface that complies with the ANSI X3.166 standard for
seamless integration.
Fiber mode is selected through Register bit 16.0 by the following two methods:
1. Drive the SD input to a value greater than 600 mV during power-up and reset states (all
LVPECL signaling levels from a fiber transceiver are acceptable).
2. Configure Register bit 16.0 = 1 through the MDIO interface.

3.2.1.3
Fault Detection and Reporting
The LXT971A supports two fault detection and reporting mechanisms. “Remote Fault” refers to a
MAC-to-MAC communication function that is essentially transparent to PHY layer devices. It is
used only during auto-negotiation, and is applicable only to twisted-pair links. “Far-End Fault” is
an optional PMA-layer function that may be embedded within PHY devices. The LXT971A
supports both functions (see Section 3.2.1.3.1 and Section 3.2.1.3.2).
3.2.1.3.1
Remote Fault
Register bit 4.13 in the Auto-Negotiation Advertisement Register is reserved for Remote Fault
indications. It is typically used when re-starting the auto-negotiation sequence to indicate to the
link partner that the link is down because the advertising device detected a fault.
When the LXT971A receives a Remote Fault indication from its partner during auto-negotiation it
does the following:
• Sets Register bit 5.13 in the Link Partner Base Page Ability Register, and
• Sets the Remote Fault Register bit 1.4 in the MII Status Register to pass this information to the
local controller.
3.2.1.3.2
100BASE-FX Far-End Fault
The SD/TP pin monitors signal quality during normal operation in fiber mode. If the signal quality
degrades beyond the fault threshold, the fiber transceiver reports a signal quality fault condition via
the SD/TP pin. Loss of signal quality blocks any fiber data from being received and causes a link
loss.
If the LXT971A detects a signal fault condition, it can transmit the Far-End Fault Indication (FEFI)
over the fiber link. The FEFI consists of 84 consecutive ones followed by a single zero. This
pattern must be repeated at least three times. The LXT971A transmits the far-end fault code a
minimum of three times if all the following conditions are true:
•
•
•
•
3.2.2
Fiber mode is selected.
Fault Code transmission is enabled (Register bit 16.2 = 1).
Either Signal Detect indicates no signal or the receive PLL cannot lock.
Loopback is not enabled.
MII Data Interface
The LXT971A supports a standard Media Independent Interface (MII). The MII consists of a data
interface and a management interface. The MII Data Interface passes data between the LXT971A
and a Media Access Controller (MAC). Separate parallel buses are provided for transmit and
receive. This interface operates at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. The speed is set automatically,
once the operating conditions of the network link have been determined. Refer to “MII Operation”
on page 32 for additional details.
3.2.2.1
Increased MII Drive Strength
A higher Media Independent Interface (MII) drive strength may be desired in some designs to drive
signals over longer PCB trace lengths, or over high-capacitive loads, through multiple vias, or
through a connector. The MII drive strength in the LXT971A can be increased by setting Register

bit 26.11 through software control. Setting Register bit 26.11 = 1 through the MDC/MDIO
interface sets the MII pins (RXD[0:3], RX_DV, RX_CLK, RX_ER, COL, CRS, and TX_CLK) to a
higher drive strength.
3.2.3
Configuration Management Interface
The LXT971A provides both an MDIO interface and a Hardware Control Interface for device
configuration and management.
3.2.3.1
MDIO Management Interface
The LXT971A supports the IEEE 802.3 MII Management Interface also known as the
Management Data Input/Output (MDIO) Interface. This interface allows upper-layer devices to
monitor and control the state of the LXT971A. The MDIO interface consists of a physical
connection, a specific protocol that runs across the connection, and an internal set of addressable
registers.
Some registers are required and their functions are defined by the IEEE 802.3 standard. The
LXT971A also supports additional registers for expanded functionality. The LXT971A supports
multiple internal registers, each of which is 16 bits wide. Specific register bits are referenced using
an “X.Y” notation, where X is the register number (0-31) and Y is the bit number (0-15).
The physical interface consists of a data line (MDIO) and clock line (MDC). Operation of this
interface is controlled by the MDDIS input pin. When MDDIS is High, the MDIO read and write
operations are disabled and the Hardware Control Interface provides primary configuration control.
When MDDIS is Low, the MDIO port is enabled for both read and write operations and the
Hardware Control Interface is not used.
3.2.3.1.1
MDIO Addressing
The protocol allows one controller to communicate with multiple LXT971A chips. Pins
ADDR<4:0> determine the chip address.
3.2.3.1.2
MDIO Frame Structure
The physical interface consists of a data line (MDIO) and clock line (MDC). The frame structure is
shown in Figures 4 and 5 (read and write). MDIO Interface timing is shown in Table 38 on
page 69.

MII Interrupts
The LXT971A provides a single interrupt pin (MDINT). Interrupt logic is shown in Figure 6. The
LXT971A also provides two dedicated interrupt registers. Register 18 provides interrupt enable
and mask functions and Register 19 provides interrupt status. Setting Register bit 18.1 = 1, enables
the device to request interrupt via the MDINT pin. An active Low on this pin indicates a status
change on the LXT971A. Interrupts may be caused by four conditions:
•
•
•
•
3.2.3.2
Auto-negotiation complete
Speed status change
Duplex status change

Hardware Control Interface
The LXT971A provides a Hardware Control Interface for applications where the MDIO is not
desired. The Hardware Control Interface uses the three LED driver pins to set device configuration.
Refer to the Hardware Configuration Settings section on page 30 for additional details.

LXT971A 3.3V Dual-Speed Fast Ethernet Transceiver

Operating Requirements
3.3.1
Power Requirements
The LXT971A requires three power supply inputs (VCCD, VCCA, and VCCIO). The digital and
analog circuits require 3.3V supplies (VCCD and VCCA). These inputs may be supplied from a
single source. Each supply input must be de-coupled to ground.
An additional supply may be used for the MII (VCCIO). The supply may be either +2.5V or
+3.3V. Also, the inputs on the MII interface are tolerant to 5V signals from the controller on the
other side of the MII interface. Refer to Table 20 on page 57 for MII I/O characteristics.
As a matter of good practice, these supplies should be as clean as possible.
3.3.2
Clock Requirements
3.3.2.1
External Crystal/Oscillator
The LXT971A requires a reference clock input that is used to generate transmit signals and recover
receive signals. It may be provided by either of two methods: by connecting a crystal across the
oscillator pins (XI and XO), or by connecting an external clock source to pin XI. The connection of
a clock source to the XI pin requires the XO pin to be left open. A crystal-based clock is
recommended over a derived clock (i.e., PLL-based) to minimize transmit jitter. Refer to the
LXT971A/972A Design and Layout Guide for a list of recommended clock sources.
A crystal is typically used in NIC applications. An external 25 MHz clock source, rather than a
crystal, is frequently used in switch applications. Refer to Table 21 on page 57 for clock timing
requirements.
3.3.2.2
MDIO Clock
The MII management channel (MDIO) also requires an external clock. The managed data clock
(MDC) speed is a maximum of 8 MHz. Refer to Table 38 on page 69 for details.
3.4
Initialization
When the LXT971A is first powered on, reset, or encounters a link failure state, it checks the
MDIO register configuration bits to determine the line speed and operating conditions to use for
the network link. The configuration bits may be set by the Hardware Control or MDIO interface as
shown in Figure 7.
3.4.1
MDIO Control Mode
In the MDIO Control mode, the LXT971A reads the Hardware Control Interface pins to set the
initial (default) values of the MDIO registers. Once the initial values are set, bit control reverts to
the MDIO interface.

LXT971A 3.3V Dual-Speed Fast Ethernet Transceiver
3.4.2
Hardware Control Mode
In the Hardware Control Mode, LXT971A disables direct write operations to the MDIO registers
via the MDIO Interface. On power-up or hardware reset the LXT971A reads the Hardware Control
Interface pins and sets the MDIO registers accordingly.
The following modes are available using either Hardware Control or MDIO Control:
• Force network link to 100FX (Fiber).
• Force network link operation to:
— 100BASE-TX, Full-Duplex.
— 100BASE-TX, Half-Duplex.
— 10BASE-T, Full-Duplex.
— 10BASE-T, Half-Duplex.
• Allow auto-negotiation/parallel-detection.
When the network link is forced to a specific configuration, the LXT971A immediately begins
operating the network interface as commanded. When auto-negotiation is enabled, the LXT971A
begins the auto-negotiation/parallel-detection operation.

Reduced Power Modes
The LXT971A offers two power-down modes and a sleep mode.
3.4.3.1
Hardware Power Down
The hardware power-down mode is controlled by the PWRDWN pin. When PWRDWN is High,
the following conditions are true:
•
•
•
•
28
The LXT971A network port and clock are shut down.
All outputs are three-stated.
All weak pad pull-up and pull-down resistors are disabled.
The MDIO registers are not accessible.

3.4.3.2
Software Power Down
Software power-down control is provided by Register bit 0.11 in the Control Register (refer to
Table 43 on page 74). During soft power-down, the following conditions are true:
• The network port is shut down.
• The MDIO registers remain accessible.
3.4.3.3
Sleep Mode
The LXT971A supports a power-saving sleep mode. Sleep mode is enabled when SLEEP is
asserted via pin 32(LQFP)/H7(PBGA). The value of pin 32/H7 can be overridden by Register bit
16.6 when in managed mode as shown in Table 4 on page 18. The LXT971A enters into sleep
mode when SLEEP is enabled and no energy is detected on the twisted-pair input for 1-3 seconds
(the time is controlled by Register bits 16.4:3 in the Configuration Register, with a default of 3.04
seconds).
During this mode, the LXT971A still responds to management transactions (MDC/MDIO). In this
mode the power consumption is minimized, and the supply current is reduced below the maximum
value given in Table 18 on page 56. If the LXT971A detects activity on the twisted-pair inputs, it
comes out of the sleep state and check for link. If no link is detected in 1-3 seconds
(programmable) it reverts back to the low power sleep state.
Note:
3.4.4
Sleep Mode is not functional in fiber network applications.
Reset
The LXT971A provides both hardware and software resets. Configuration control of autonegotiation, speed, and duplex mode selection is handled differently for each. During a hardware
reset, auto-negotiation and speed configuration settings are read in from pins (refer to Table 9 on
page 30 for pin settings and to Table 43 on page 74 for register bit definitions).
During a software reset (0.15 = 1), these bit settings are not re-read from the pins. They revert back
to the values that were read in during the last hardware reset. Therefore, any changes to pin values
made since the last hardware reset is not detected during a software reset.
During a hardware reset, register information is unavailable for 1 ms after de-assertion of the reset.
During a software reset (0.15 = 1) the registers are available for reading. The reset bit should be
polled to see when the part has completed reset (0.15 = 0).

LXT971A 3.3V Dual-Speed Fast Ethernet Transceiver
3.5
Establishing Link
See Figure 9 for an overview of link establishment.
3.5.1
Auto-Negotiation
If not configured for forced operation, the LXT971A attempts to auto-negotiate with its link
partner by sending Fast Link Pulse (FLP) bursts. Each burst consists of up to 33 link pulses spaced
62.5 µs apart. Odd link pulses (clock pulses) are always present. Even link pulses (data pulses) may
be present or absent to indicate a “1” or a “0”. Each FLP burst exchanges 16 bits of data, which are
referred to as a “link code word”. All devices that support auto-negotiation must implement the
“Base Page” defined by IEEE 802.3 (registers 4 and 5). LXT971A also supports the optional “Next
Page” function as described in Tables 50 and 51 on page 80 (registers 7 and 8).
3.5.1.1
Base Page Exchange
By exchanging Base Pages, the LXT971A and its link partner communicate their capabilities to
each other. Both sides must receive at least three identical base pages for negotiation to continue.
Each side identifies the highest common capabilities that both sides support and configures itself
accordingly.
3.5.1.2
Next Page Exchange
Additional information, above that required by base page exchange is also sent via “Next Pages”.
The LXT971A fully supports the IEEE 802.3ab method of negotiation via Next Page exchange.
3.5.1.3
Controlling Auto-Negotiation
When auto-negotiation is controlled by software, the following steps are recommended:
• After power-up, power-down, or reset, the power-down recovery time, as specified in Table 40
on page 70, must be exhausted before proceeding.
• Set the Auto-Negotiation Advertisement Register bits.
• Enable auto-negotiation (set MDIO Register bit 0.12 = 1).
3.5.2
Parallel Detection
For the parallel detection feature of auto-negotiation, the LXT971A also monitors for 10BASE-T
Normal Link Pulses (NLP) and 100BASE-TX Idle symbols. If either is detected, the device
automatically reverts to the corresponding operating mode. Parallel detection allows the LXT971A
to communicate with devices that do not support auto-negotiation.

MII Operation
The LXT971A device implements the Media Independent Interface (MII) as defined in the IEEE
802.3 standard. Separate channels are provided for transmitting data from the MAC to the
LXT971A (TXD), and for passing data received from the line (RXD) to the MAC. Each channel
has its own clock, data bus, and control signals. Nine signals are used to pass received data to the
MAC: RXD<3:0>, RX_CLK, RX_DV, RX_ER, COL, and CRS. Seven signals are used to transmit
data from the MAC: TXD<3:0>, TX_CLK, TX_EN, and TX_ER.
The LXT971A supplies both clock signals as well as separate outputs for carrier sense and
collision. Data transmission across the MII is normally implemented in 4-bit-wide nibbles.
3.6.1
MII Clocks
The LXT971A is the master clock source for data transmission and supplies both MII clocks
(RX_CLK and TX_CLK). It automatically sets the clock speeds to match link conditions. When
the link is operating at 100 Mbps, the clocks are set to 25 MHz. When the link is operating at 10
Mbps, the clocks are set to 2.5 MHz. Figures 10 through 12 show the clock cycles for each mode.
The transmit data and control signals must always be synchronized to TX_CLK by the MAC. The
LXT971A samples these signals on the rising edge of TX_CLK.

LXT971A 3.3V Dual-Speed Fast Ethernet Transceiver
3.6.2
Transmit Enable
The MAC must assert TX_EN the same time as the first nibble of preamble, and de-assert TX_EN
after the last bit of the packet.
3.6.3
Receive Data Valid
The LXT971A asserts RX_DV when it receives a valid packet. Timing changes depend on line
operating speed:
• For 100BASE-TX links, RX_DV is asserted from the first nibble of preamble to the last nibble
of the data packet.
• For 10BT links, the entire preamble is truncated. RX_DV is asserted with the first nibble of the
Start of Frame Delimiter (SFD) “5D” and remains asserted until the end of the packet.
3.6.4
Carrier Sense
Carrier Sense (CRS) is an asynchronous output. It is always generated when a packet is received
from the line and in half-duplex mode when a packet is transmitted. Table 10 summarizes the
conditions for assertion of carrier sense, collision, and data loopback signals.
Carrier sense is not generated when a packet is transmitted and in full-duplex mode.
3.6.5
Error Signals
When LXT971A is in 100 Mbps mode and receives an invalid symbol from the network, it asserts
RX_ER and drives “1110” on the RXD pins.
When the MAC asserts TX_ER, the LXT971A drives “H” symbols out on the TPFOP/N pins.
3.6.6
Collision
The LXT971A asserts its collision signal, asynchronously to any clock, whenever the line state is
half-duplex and the transmitter and receiver are active at the same time. Table 10 summarizes the
conditions for assertion of carrier sense, collision, and data loopback signals.

3.6.7.1
Operational Loopback
Operational loopback is provided for 10 Mbps half-duplex links when Register bit 16.8 = 0. Data
transmitted by the MAC (TXData) is looped back on the receive side of the MII (RXData).
Operational loopback is not provided for 100 Mbps links, full-duplex links, or when 16.8 = 1.
3.6.7.2
Test Loopback
A test loopback function is provided for diagnostic testing of the LXT971A. During test loopback,
twisted-pair and fiber interfaces are disabled. Data transmitted by the MAC is internally looped
back by the LXT971A and returned to the MAC.
Test loopback is available for both 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T operation, and is enabled by
setting the following register bits:
• Register bit 0.14 = 1
• Register bit 0.8 = 1 (full-duplex)
• Register bit 0.12 = 0 (disable auto-negotiation).
Test loopback is also available for 100BASE-FX operation. Test loopback in this mode is enabled
by setting Register bit 0.14 = 1 and tying the SD input to an LVPECL logic High value (2.4 V).

100BASE-X Network Operations
During 100BASE-X operation, the LXT971A transmits and receives 5-bit symbols across the
network link. Figure 14 shows the structure of a standard frame packet. When the MAC is not
actively transmitting data, the LXT971A sends out Idle symbols on the line.
In 100BASE-TX mode, the LXT971A scrambles and transmits the data to the network using MLT3 line code (Figure 15 on page 37). MLT-3 signals received from the network are de-scrambled,
decoded, and sent across the MII to the MAC.
In 100BASE-FX mode, the LXT971A transmits and receives NRZI signals across the LVPECL
interface. An external 100FX transceiver module is required to complete the fiber connection. To
enable 100BASE-FX operation, auto-negotiation must be disabled and FX selected.

As shown in Figure 14 on page 36, the MAC starts each transmission with a preamble pattern. As
soon as the LXT971A detects the start of preamble, it transmits a Start-of-Stream Delimiter (SSD,
symbols J and K) to the network. It then encodes and transmits the rest of the packet, including the
balance of the preamble, the SFD, packet data, and CRC.
Once the packet ends, the LXT971A transmits the End-of- Stream Delimiter (ESD, symbols T and
R) and then returns to transmitting Idle symbols. 4B/5B coding is shown in Table 11 on page 40.
Figure 16 shows normal reception with no errors. When the LXT971A receives invalid symbols
from the line, it asserts RX_ER as shown in Figure 17.

device. The LXT971A implements the Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS), Physical Medium
Attachment (PMA), and Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) sublayers of the reference model
defined by the IEEE 802.3u standard. The following paragraphs discuss LXT971A operation from
the reference model point of view.
3.7.3.1
PCS Sublayer
The Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) provides the MII interface, as well as the 4B/5B encoding/
decoding function.
For 100BASE-TX and 100FX operation, the PCS layer provides IDLE symbols to the PMD-layer
line driver as long as TX_EN is de-asserted.
3.7.3.1.1
Preamble Handling
When the MAC asserts TX_EN, the PCS substitutes a /J/K symbol pair, also known as the Start-ofStream Delimiter (SSD), for the first two nibbles received across the MII. The PCS layer continues
to encode the remaining MII data, following the coding in Table 11, until TX_EN is de-asserted. It
then returns to supplying IDLE symbols to the line driver.

LXT971A 3.3V Dual-Speed Fast Ethernet Transceiver
In the receive direction, the PCS layer performs the opposite function, substituting two preamble
nibbles for the SSD.
3.7.3.1.2
Dribble Bits
The LXT971A handles dribbles bits in all modes. If one to four dribble bits are received, the nibble
is passed across the MII, and padded with ones if necessary. If five to seven dribble bits are
received, the second nibble is not sent to the MII bus.

The /T/ and /R/ (ESD) code groups are always sent in pairs; /R/ follows /T/.

PMA Sublayer
3.7.3.2.1
Link
In 100 Mbps mode, the LXT971A establishes a link whenever the scrambler becomes locked and
remains locked for approximately 50 ms. Whenever the scrambler loses lock (receiving less than
12 consecutive idle symbols during a 2 ms window), the link is taken down. This provides a very
robust link, essentially filtering out any small noise hits that may otherwise disrupt the link.
Furthermore, 100 Mbps idle patterns will not bring up a 10 Mbps link.
The LXT971A reports link failure via the MII status bits (Register bits 1.2 and 17.10) and interrupt
functions. Link failure causes the LXT971A to re-negotiate if auto-negotiation is enabled.
3.7.3.2.2
Link Failure Override
The LXT971A normally transmits data packets only if it detects the link is up. Setting Register bit
16.14 = 1 overrides this function, allowing the LXT971A to transmit data packets even when the
link is down. This feature is provided as a diagnostic tool. Note that auto-negotiation must be
disabled to transmit data packets in the absence of link. If auto-negotiation is enabled, the
LXT971A automatically transmits FLP bursts if the link is down.
3.7.3.2.3
Carrier Sense
For 100BASE-TX and 100FX links, a start-of-stream delimiter (SSD) or /J/K symbol pair causes
assertion of carrier sense (CRS). An end-of-stream delimiter (ESD) or /T/R symbol pair causes deassertion of CRS. The PMA layer also de-asserts CRS if IDLE symbols are received without /T/R;
however, in this case RX_ER is asserted for one clock cycle when CRS is de-asserted.
Usage of CRS for Interframe Gap (IFG) timing is not recommended for the following reasons:
Datasheet
Document #: 249414
Revision #: 002
Rev. Date: August 7, 2002
41
LXT971A 3.3V Dual-Speed Fast Ethernet Transceiver
• De-assertion time for CRS is slightly longer than assertion time. This causes IFG intervals to
appear somewhat shorter to the MAC than it actually is on the wire.
• CRS de-assertion is not aligned with TX_EN de-assertion on transmit loopbacks in halfduplex mode.
3.7.3.2.4
Receive Data Valid
The LXT971A asserts RX_DV to indicate that the received data maps to valid symbols. However,
RXD outputs zeros until the received data is decoded and available for transfer to the controller.
3.7.3.3
Twisted-Pair PMD Sublayer
The twisted-pair Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) layer provides the signal scrambling and descrambling, line coding and decoding (MLT-3 for 100BASE-TX, Manchester for 10BASE-T), as
well as receiving, polarity correction, and baseline wander correction functions.
Scrambler/De-scrambler
The purpose of the scrambler is to spread the signal power spectrum and further reduce EMI using
an 11-bit, data-independent polynomial. The receiver automatically decodes the polynomial
whenever IDLE symbols are received.
Scrambler Seeding
Once the transmit data (or Idle symbols) are properly encoded, they are scrambled to further reduce
EMI and to spread the power spectrum using an 11-bit scrambler seed. Five seed bits are
determined by the PHY address, and the remaining bits are hard coded in the design.
Scrambler Bypass
The scrambler/de-scrambler can be bypassed by setting Register bit 16.12 = 1. The scrambler is
automatically bypassed when the fiber port is enabled. Scrambler bypass is provided for diagnostic
and test support.
3.7.3.3.1
Baseline Wander Correction
The LXT971A provides a baseline wander correction function which makes the device robust
under all network operating conditions. The MLT3 coding scheme used in 100BASE-TX is by
definition “unbalanced”. This means that the average value of the signal voltage can “wander”
significantly over short time intervals (tenths of seconds). This wander can cause receiver errors at
long-line lengths (100 meters) in less robust designs. Exact characteristics of the wander are
completely data dependent.
The LXT971A baseline wander correction characteristics allow the device to recover error-free
data while receiving worst-case “killer” packets over all cable lengths.
3.7.3.3.2
Polarity Correction
The 100BASE-TX de-scrambler automatically detects and corrects for the condition where the
receive signal at TPFIP and TPFIN is inverted.

3.7.3.3.3
Programmable Slew Rate Control
The LXT971A device supports a slew rate mechanism whereby one of four pre-selected slew rates
can be used. This allows the designer to optimize the output waveform to match the characteristics
of the magnetics. The slew rate is determined by the TxSLEW pins as shown in Table 4 on
page 18.
3.7.3.4
Fiber PMD Sublayer
The LXT971A provides a Low Voltage PECL interface for connection to an external 3.3 V or 5.0 V
fiber-optic transceiver. (The external transceiver provides the PMD function for fiber media.) The
LXT971A uses an NRZI format for the fiber interface. The fiber interface operates at 100 Mbps
and does not support 10FL applications.
3.8
10 Mbps Operation
The LXT971A operates as a standard 10BASE-T transceiver. The LXT971A supports all the
standard 10 Mbps functions. During 10BASE-T operation, the LXT971A transmits and receives
Manchester-encoded data across the network link. When the MAC is not actively transmitting data,
the LXT971A drives link pulses onto the line.
In 10BASE-T mode, the polynomial scrambler/de-scrambler is inactive. Manchester-encoded
signals received from the network are decoded by the LXT971A and sent across the MII to the
MAC.
The LXT971A does not support fiber connections at 10 Mbps.
3.8.1
10BASE-T Preamble Handling
The LXT971A offers two options for preamble handling, selected by Register bit 16.5. In
10BASE-T Mode when 16.5 = 0, the LXT971A strips the entire preamble off of received packets.
CRS is asserted coincident with SFD. RX_DV is held Low for the duration of the preamble. When
RX_DV is asserted, the very first two nibbles driven by the LXT971A are the SFD “5D” hex
followed by the body of the packet.
In 10BASE-T mode with 16.5 = 1, the LXT971A passes the preamble through the MII and asserts
RX_DV and CRS simultaneously. In 10BASE-T loopback, the LXT971A loops back whatever the
MAC transmits to it, including the preamble.
3.8.2
10BASE-T Carrier Sense
For 10BASE-T links, CRS assertion is based on reception of valid preamble, and de-assertion on
reception of an end-of-frame (EOF) marker. Register bit 16.7 allows CRS de-assertion to be
synchronized with RX_DV de-assertion. Refer to Table 52 on page 81.
3.8.3
10BASE-T Dribble Bits
The LXT971A device handles dribbles bits in all modes. If one to four dribble bits are received, the
nibble is passed across the MII, padded with ones if necessary. If five to seven dribble bits are
received, the second nibble is not sent to the MII bus.

LXT971A 3.3V Dual-Speed Fast Ethernet Transceiver
3.8.4
10BASE-T Link Integrity Test
In 10BASE-T mode, the LXT971A always transmits link pulses. When the Link Integrity Test
function is enabled (the normal configuration), it monitors the connection for link pulses. Once link
pulses are detected, data transmission is enabled and remains enabled as long as either the link
pulses or data transmission continue. If the link pulses stop, the data transmission is disabled.
If the Link Integrity Test function is disabled, the LXT971A transmits to the connection regardless
of detected link pulses. The Link Integrity Test function can be disabled by setting Register bit
16.14 = 1.
3.8.4.1
Link Failure
Link failure occurs if the Link Integrity Test is enabled and link pulses or packets stop being
received. If this condition occurs, the LXT971A returns to the auto-negotiation phase if autonegotiation is enabled. If the Link Integrity Test function is disabled by setting Register bit
16.14 = 1 in the Configuration Register, the LXT971A transmits packets, regardless of link status.
3.8.5
10BASE-T SQE (Heartbeat)
By default, the Signal Quality Error (SQE) or heartbeat function is disabled on the LXT971A. To
enable this function, set Register bit 16.9 = 1. When this function is enabled, the LXT971A asserts
its COL output for 5-15 BT after each packet. See Figure 35 on page 67 for SQE timing
parameters.
3.8.6
10BASE-T Jabber
If a transmission exceeds the jabber timer, the LXT971A disables the transmit and loopback
functions. See Figure 34 on page 67 for jabber timing parameters.
The LXT971A automatically exits jabber mode after the unjabber time has expired. This function
can be disabled by setting Register bit 16.10 = 1.
3.8.7
10BASE-T Polarity Correction
The LXT971A automatically detects and corrects for the condition where the receive signal
(TPFIP/N) is inverted. Reversed polarity is detected if eight inverted link pulses, or four inverted
end-of-frame (EOF) markers, are received consecutively. If link pulses or data are not received by
the maximum receive time-out period (96-128 ms), the polarity state is reset to a non-inverted
state.
3.9
Monitoring Operations
3.9.1
Monitoring Auto-Negotiation
Auto-negotiation can be monitored as follows:
• Register bit 17.7 is set to 1 once the auto-negotiation process is completed.
• Register bits 1.2 and 17.10 are set to 1 once the link is established.
44
Datasheet
Document #: 249414
Revision #: 002
Rev. Date: August 7, 2002
LXT971A 3.3V Dual-Speed Fast Ethernet Transceiver
• Register bits 17.14 and 17.9 can be used to determine the link operating conditions (speed and
duplex).
3.9.1.1
Monitoring Next Page Exchange
The LXT971A offers an Alternate Next Page mode to simplify the next page exchange process.
Normally, Register bit 6.1 (Page Received) remains set until read. When Alternate Next Page mode
is enabled Register bit 6.1 is automatically cleared whenever a new negotiation process takes place.
This prevents the user from reading an old value in 6.1 and assuming that Registers 5 and 8
(Partner Ability) contain valid information. Additionally, the LXT971A uses Register bit 6.5 to
indicate when the current received page is the base page. This information is useful for recognizing
when next pages must be resent due to a new negotiation process starting. Register bits 6.1 and 6.5
are cleared when read.
3.9.2
LED Functions
The LXT971A incorporates three direct LED drivers. On power up all the drivers are asserted for
approximately 1 second after reset de-asserts. Each LED driver can be programmed using the LED
Configuration Register (refer to Table 56 on page 85) to indicate one of the following conditions:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Operating Speed
Transmit Activity
Receive Activity
Collision Condition
Link Status
Duplex Mode
The LED drivers can also be programmed to display various combined status conditions. For
example, setting Register bits 20.15:12 = 1101 produces the following combination of Link and
Activity indications:
• If Link is down LED is off.
• If Link is up LED is on.
• If Link is up and activity is detected, the LED blinks at the stretch interval selected by Register
bits 20.3:2 and continues to blink as long as activity is present.
The LED driver pins also provide initial configuration settings. The LED pins are sensitive to
polarity and automatically pull up or pull down to configure for either open drain or open collector
circuits (10 mA Max current rating) as required by the hardware configuration. Refer to the
discussion of “Hardware Configuration Settings” on page 30 for details.
3.9.2.1
LED Pulse Stretching
The LED Configuration Register also provides optional LED pulse stretching to 30, 60, or 100 ms.
The pulse stretch time is further extended if the event occurs again during this pulse stretch period.
When an event such as receiving a packet occurs it is edge detected and it starts the stretch timer.
The LED driver remains asserted until the stretch timer expires. If another event occurs before the
stretch timer expires then the stretch timer is reset and the stretch time is extended.

LXT971A 3.3V Dual-Speed Fast Ethernet Transceiver
When a long event (such as duplex status) occurs it is edge detected and it starts the stretch timer.
When the stretch timer expires the edge detector is reset so that a long event causes another pulse to
be generated from the edge detector which resets the stretch timer and causes the LED driver to
remain asserted. Figure 21 shows how the stretch operation functions.

Boundary Scan (JTAG1149.1) Functions
LXT971A includes a IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan test port for board level testing. All digital input,
output, and input/output pins are accessible. The BSDL file is available by contacting your local
sales office or by accessing the Intel website (www.intel.com).
3.10.1
Boundary Scan Interface
This interface consists of five pins (TMS, TDI, TDO, TRST, and TCK). It includes a state machine,
data register array, and instruction register. The TMS and TDI pins are internally pulled up. TCK is
internally pulled down. TDO does not have an internal pull-up or pull-down.
3.10.2
State Machine
The TAP controller is a 16 state machine driven by the TCK and TMS pins. Upon reset the
TEST_LOGIC_RESET state is entered. The state machine is also reset when TMS and TDI are
high for five TCK periods.
3.10.3
Instruction Register
After the state machine resets, the IDCODE instruction is always invoked. The decode logic
ensures the correct data flow to the Data registers according to the current instruction. Valid
instructions are listed in Table 13.
3.10.4
Boundary Scan Register (BSR)
Each Boundary Scan Register (BSR) cell has two stages. A flip-flop and a latch are used for the
serial shift stage and the parallel output stage. There are four modes of operation as listed in
Table 12.

LXT971A 3.3V Dual-Speed Fast Ethernet Transceiver
4.3
The Fiber Interface
The fiber interface consists of an LVPECL transmit and receive pair to an external fiber-optic
transceiver. Both 3.3 V fiber-optic transceivers and 5 V fiber-optic transceivers can be used with
the LXT971A.
The following should occur in 3.3 V fiber transceiver applications as shown in Figure 25:
• The transmit pair should be DC-coupled with the 50 Ω/16 Ω pull-up combination
• The receive pair should be DC-coupled with an emitter current path for the fiber transceiver
• The signal detect pin should be DC-coupled with an emitter current path for the fiber
transceiver
Refer to the fiber transceiver manufacturer’s recommendations for termination circuitry. Figure 25
shows a typical example of an LXT971A-to-3.3 V fiber transceiver interface.
The following occurs in 5 V fiber transceiver applications as shown in Figure 26:
• The transmit pair should be AC-coupled and re-biased to 5 V PECL input levels
• The receive pair should be AC-coupled with an emitter current path for the fiber transceiver
and re-biased to 3.3 V LVPECL input levels.
The signal detect pin on a 5 V fiber transceiver interface should use the logic translator circuitry as
shown in Figure 27. Refer to the fiber transceiver manufacturer’s recommendations for termination
circuitry. Figure 26 shows a typical example of an LXT971A-to-5 V fiber transceiver interface,
while Figure 27 shows the interface circuitry for the logic translator.

2. Power-up delay is specified as a maximum value because it refers to the PHY guaranteed performance the PHY comes out of reset after a delay of No MORE Than 300 µs. System designers should consider this
as a minimum value - After threshold v1 is reached, the MAC should delay No LESS Than 300 µs before
accessing the MDIO port.
