ETC LXT907ALC

LXT901A/907A
Universal 3.3V Ethernet Transceiver
Datasheet
The LXT901A and LXT907A are new generation Universal Ethernet Transceivers with
improved noise immunity and output filtering. The feature set of the LXT901A/907A has been
streamlined, removing Remote Signaling capabilities. The LXT901A and LXT907A provide all
the active circuitry to interface most standard 802.3 controllers to either the 10BASE-T media or
Attachment Unit Interface (AUI).
The LXT901A and LXT907A are identical except for the function of one pin. The LXT901A,
with selectable termination impedance allows the use of either shielded or unshielded twistedpair cable. The LXT907A offers a Signal Quality Error disable (DSQE) function.
LXT901A and LXT907A functions include Manchester encoding/decoding, receiver squelch
and transmit pulse shaping, jabber, link testing and reversed polarity detection/correction.

LXT901A/907A — Universal 3.3V Ethernet Transceiver
2.0
Functional Description
The LXT901A/907A Universal Ethernet Interface Transceivers perform the physical layer
signaling (PLS) and Media Attachment Unit (MAU) functions as defined by the IEEE 802.3
specification. They function as a PLS-Only device (for use with 10BASE-2 or 10BASE-5 coaxial
cable networks) or as an Integrated PLS/MAU (for use with 10BASE-T twisted-pair networks). In
addition to standard 10 Mbps operation, they also support full-duplex 20 Mbps operation.
The LXT901A/907A interfaces a back-end controller to either an AUI drop cable or a twisted-pair
(TP) cable. The controller interface includes transmit and receive clock and NRZ data channels, as
well as mode control logic and signaling. The AUI interface comprises three circuits: Data Output
(DO), Data Input (DI) and Collision (CI). The twisted-pair interface comprises two circuits:
Twisted-Pair Input (TPI) and Twisted-Pair Output (TPO). In addition to the three basic interfaces,
the LXT901A/907A contains an internal crystal oscillator and four LED drivers for visual status
reporting.
Functions are defined from the back-end controller side of the interface. The Transmit function
refers to data transmitted by the back-end to the AUI cable (PLS-Only mode) or to the twisted-pair
network (Integrated PLS/MAU mode). The Receive function refers to data received by the backend from the AUI cable (PLS-Only) or from the twisted-pair network (Integrated PLS/MAU
mode). In the integrated PLS/MAU mode, the LXT901A/907A performs all required MAU
functions defined by the IEEE 802.3 10BASE–T specification such as collision detection, link
integrity testing, signal quality error messaging, jabber control and loopback. In the PLS-Only
mode, the LXT901A/907A receives incoming signals from the AUI DI circuit with ± 18 ns of jitter
and drives the AUI DO circuit.
2.1
Controller Compatibility Modes
The LXT901A/907A are compatible with most industry standard controllers including devices
produced by Motorola, AMD, Intel, Fujitsu, National Semiconductor, Seeq and Texas Instruments.
Four different control signal timing and polarity schemes (Modes 1 through 4) are required to
achieve this compatibility. Mode select pins (MD0 and MD1) determine Controller compatibility
modes as listed in Table 2. Refer to Test Specifications for a complete set of timing diagrams for
each mode.

2.2
Transmit Function
The LXT901A/907A receives NRZ data from the controller at the TXD input, as shown in the
block diagram on the first page of this Data Sheet, and passes it through a Manchester encoder. The
encoded data is then transferred to either the AUI cable (the DO circuit) or the twisted-pair network
(the TPO circuit). The advanced integrated pulse shaping and filtering network produces the output
signal on TPON and TPOP as shown in Figure 3. The TPO output is pre-distorted and prefiltered to
meet the 10BASE-T jitter template. An internal continuous resistor-capacitor filter is used to
remove any high-frequency clocking noise from the pulse shaping circuitry. Integrated filters
simplify the design work required for FCC compliant EMI performance. During idle periods, the
LXT901A/907A transmits link integrity test pulses on the TPO circuit (if LI is enabled and
integrated PLS/ MAU mode is selected). External resistors control the termination impedance for
the LXT907A. External resistors and the STP Pin control termination impedance on the LXT901A.

Jabber Control Function
Figure 4 is a state diagram of the LXT901A/907A Jabber control function. The on-chip watchdog
timer prevents the DTE from locking into a continuous transmit mode. When a transmission
exceeds the time limit, the watchdog timer disables the transmit and loopback functions, and
activates the JAB pin. Once the LXT901A/907A is in the jabber state, the TXD circuit must remain
idle for a period of 250 to 750 ms before it will exit the jabber state.

SQE Function
In the integrated PLS/MAU mode, the LXT901A/907A supports the signal quality error (SQE)
function as shown in Figure 5, although the SQE function can be disabled on the LXT907A. After
every successful transmission on the 10BASE-T network, when SQE is enabled, the LXT901A/
907A transmits the SQE signal for 10BT ± 5BT over the internal CI circuit which is indicated on
the COL pin of the device. When using the AUI of the LXT901A/907A, the SQE function is
determined by the external MAU attached.

Receive Function
The LXT901A/907A receive function acquires timing and data from the twisted-pair network (the
TPI circuit) or from the AUI (the DI circuit). Valid received signals are passed through the on-chip
filters and Manchester decoder, then output as decoded NRZ data and receive timing on the RXD
and RCLK pins, respectively.
An internal RC filter and an intelligent squelch function discriminate noise from link test pulses
and valid data streams. The receive function is activated only by valid data streams above the
squelch level and with proper timing. If the differential signal at the TPI or the DI circuit inputs
falls below 75% of the threshold level (unsquelched) for 8 bit times (typical), the LXT901A/907A
receive function enters the idle state. If the polarity of the TPI circuit is reversed, LXT901A/907A
detects the polarity reverse and reports it via the PLR output. The LXT901A/907A automatically
corrects reversed polarity.
Datasheet
15
LXT901A/907A — Universal 3.3V Ethernet Transceiver
2.3.1
Polarity Reverse Function
The LXT901A/907A polarity reverse function uses both link pulses and end-of-frame data to
determine the polarity of the received signal. A reversed polarity condition is detected when eight
opposite receive link pulses are detected without receipt of a link pulse of the expected polarity.
Reversed polarity is also detected if four frames are received with a reversed start-of-idle.
Whenever a correct polarity frame or a correct link pulse is received, these two counters are reset to
zero. If the LXT901A/907A enters the link fail state and no valid data or link pulses are received
within 96 to 128 ms, the polarity is reset to the default non-flipped condition. If Link Integrity
Testing is disabled, polarity detection is based only on received data. Polarity correction is always
enabled.
2.3.2
Collision Detection Function
The collision detection function operates on the twisted- pair side of the interface. For standard
(half-duplex) 10BASE-T operation, a collision is defined as the simultaneous presence of valid
signals on both the TPI circuit and the TPO circuit. The LXT901A/907A reports collisions to the
back-end via the COL pin. If the TPI circuit becomes active while there is activity on the TPO
circuit, the TPI data is passed to the back-end over the RXD circuit, disabling normal loopback.
Figure 6 is a state diagram of the LXT901A/907A collision detection function. Refer to Test
Specifications for collision detection and COL/CI output timing. (NOTE: For full-duplex operation
on the TP or AUI port, the collision detection circuitry must be disabled by setting FDE Low.)

Loopback Functions
2.4.1
Standard TP Loopback
The LXT901A/907A provides the standard loopback function defined by the 10BASE-T
specification for the twisted-pair port. The loopback function operates in conjunction with the
transmit function. Data transmitted by the back-end is internally looped back within the LXT901A/
907A from the TXD pin through the Manchester encoder/decoder to the RXD pin and returned to
the back-end. This standard loopback function is disabled when a data collision occurs, clearing the
RXD circuit for the TPI data. Standard loopback is also disabled during link fail and jabber states.
The LXT901A/907A also provides three additional loopback functions.
2.4.2
Forced TP Loopback
“Forced” TP loopback is controlled by the LBK pin. When the TP port is selected and LBK is
High, TP loopback is “forced”, overriding collisions on the TP circuit. When LBK is Low, normal
loopback is in effect.
2.4.3
AUI Loopback
AUI loopback is also controlled by the LBK pin. When the AUI port is selected and LBK is High,
data transmitted by the back-end is internally looped back from the TXD pin through the
Manchester encoder/decoder to the RXD pin. When LBK is Low, no AUI loopback occurs.
2.4.4
External Loopback
An external loopback mode, useful for system-level testing, is controlled by the LEDC/FDE pin.
When LEDC/FDE is tied Low, the LXT901A/907A disables the collision detection and internal
loopback circuits, to allow external loopback. External loopback mode can be set on either TP or
AUI ports.
2.5
Link Integrity Test Function
Figure 7 is a state diagram of the LXT901A/907A Link Integrity test function. The link integrity
test is used to determine the status of the receive side twisted-pair cable. Link integrity testing is
enabled when the LI pin is tied High. When enabled, the receiver recognizes link integrity pulses
which are transmitted in the absence of receive traffic. If no serial data stream or link integrity
pulses are detected within 50 - 150 ms, the chip enters a link fail state and disables the transmit and
normal loopback functions. The LXT901A/907A ignores any link integrity pulse with interval less
than 2 - 7 ms. The LXT901A/907A will remain in the link fail state until it detects either a serial
data packet or two or more link integrity pulses.

Application Information
3.1
Twisted-Pair Impedance Matching
Resistors must be installed on each input and output pair to match impedance of the network media
being used. The LXT907A is configured with 100Ω termination for Unshielded Twisted-Pair
(UTP). In this case, the positive and negative sides of both output pairs are shorted together
(TPOPA/TPOPB and TPONA/TPONB) and tied to the transformer through a 24.9 Ω 1% series
resistor.
The LXT901A is designed with an STP Select pin that allows the device to match both 100Ω and
150Ω media. A dual resistor combination can be configured to accommodate either line
termination as shown in Figure 16. When 100Ω termination is selected, both A and B pairs are
driven in parallel. When 150Ω termination is selected, the B pair is tri-stated and only the A pair is
driven.
3.2
Crystal Information
Designers should test and validate crystals before committing to a specific component. Based on
limited evaluation, Table 3 lists some suitable crystals.

Magnetics Information
The LXT901A and LXT907A require a 1:1 ratio for the receive transformer and a 1:√2 ratio for the
transmit transformer on the twisted-pair interface. The AUI Interface requires a 1:1 ratio for the
data-in, data-out, and collision-pair transformers. A cross-reference list of suitable magnetics and
part numbers is available in Application Note 73, Magnetic Manufacturers, which can be found on
the Intel web site (developer.intel.com/design/network/). Designers must test and validate all
components for suitability in their applications.

Typical Applications
Figure 9 through Figure 16 show typical LXT901A/907A applications.
3.4.1
Auto Port Select with External Loopback Control
Figure 9 is a typical LXT901A/907A application. The diagram is arranged to group similar pins
together; it does not represent the actual LXT901A/907A pinout. The controller interface pins
(transmit data, clock and enable; receive data and clock; and the collision detect, carrier detect and
loopback control pins) are shown at the top left.
Programmable option pins are grouped center left. The PAUI pin is tied Low and all other option
pins are tied High. This setup selects the following options:
• Automatic Port Selection
(PAUI Low and AUTOSEL High)
•
•
•
•
•
Normal Receive Threshold (NTH High)
Mode 4, compatible with National NS8390 controllers (MD0 High, MD1 High)
SQE Disabled (DSQE High for LXT907A only)
UTP is selected (STP High for LXT901A only)
Link Testing Enabled (LI High)
Status outputs are grouped at lower left. Local status outputs drive LED indicators.
Power and ground pins are shown at the bottom of the diagram. A single power supply is used for
both VCC1 and VCC2 with a decoupling capacitor installed between the power and ground busses.
An additional power and ground pin (VCCA and GNDA) is supported in designs using the 64-pin
LQFP package. A single power supply is used for all three power and ground pins (VCC1, VCC2,
VCCA) and (GND1, GND2, GNDA). Install a decoupling capacitor between each power and
ground buss.
The TP and AUI interfaces are shown at upper and lower right, respectively. Impedance matching
resistors for 100Ω UTP are installed in each I/O pair and no external filters are required.

With MD0 tied Low and MD1 tied High, the LXT901A/907A logic and framing are set to Mode 3
(compatible with Fujitsu MB86950 and MB86960, and Seeq 8005 controllers). Figure 12 shows
the setup for Fujitsu controllers. Figure 13 shows the four inverters required to interface with the
Seeq 8005 controller. As in Figure 9 on page 22 both these Mode 3 applications show the LI pin
tied High, enabling Link Testing; and the STP (LXT901A only) and NTH pins are both tied High,
selecting the standard receiver threshold and 100Ω termination for unshielded TP cable. However,
in these applications AUTOSEL is tied Low, allowing external port selection through the PAUI

Universal 3.3V Ethernet Transceiver — LXT901A/907A
Three Media Application
Figure 14 shows the LXT907A in Mode 2 (compatible with Intel 82596 controllers) with
additional media options for the AUI port. Two transformers are used to couple the AUI port to
either a D-connector or a BNC connector. A DP8392 coax transceiver with PM6044 power supply
are required to drive the thin coax network through the BNC.

LXT901A/907A — Universal 3.3V Ethernet Transceiver
3.4.6
AUI Encoder/Decoder Only
In this application (see Figure 15) the DTE is connected to a coaxial network through the AUI.
AUTOSEL is tied Low and PAUI is tied High to manually select the AUI port. The twisted-pair
port is not used. With MD1 and MD0 both Low, the logic and framing are set to Mode 1
(compatible with AMD AM7990 controllers). The LI pin is tied Low, disabling the link test
function. The DSQE pin is also Low, enabling the SQE function on the LXT907A. The LBK input
controls loopback. A 20 MHz system clock is supplied at CLK1 with CLK0 left open.

Universal 3.3V Ethernet Transceiver — LXT901A/907A
150 Ω Shielded Twisted-pair only (LXT901A only)
3.4.7
Figure 16 shows the LXT901A in a typical twisted-pair only application. The DTE is connected to
a 10BASE-T network through the twisted-pair RJ-45 connector. Note that the AUI port is not used.
With MD0 tied High and MD1 Low, the LXT901A logic and framing are set to Mode 2
(compatible with Intel 82596 controllers).
A 20 MHz system clock input at CLK1 is used in place of the crystal oscillator. (CLK0 is left
open). The L1 pin externally controls the link test function. The STP and NTH pins are both tied
Low, selecting the reduced receiver threshold and 150 Ω termination for shielded TP cable. The
switch at LEDT/PDN manually controls the power down mode.
