ETC LXT914PE

LXT914
Flexible Quad Ethernet Repeater
Datasheet
The LXT914 is an integrated multi-port repeater designed for mixed-media networks. It
provides all the active circuitry required for the repeater function in a single CMOS device. It
includes one Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) port and four 10BASE-T transceivers. The AUI
port is mode selectable: DTE mode allows connection of an external transceiver (10BASE2,
10BASE5, 10BASE-T or FOIRL) or a drop cable. MAU mode creates a MAU output allowing
direct connection to another DTE interface. The 10BASE-T transceivers are entirely selfcontained with internal filters which simplify the design work required for FCC-compliant EMI
performance.
An inter-repeater backplane interface allows 128 or more 10BASE-T ports to be cascaded
together. In addition, a serial port provides information for network management.
The LXT914 requires only a single 5-volt power supply due to an advanced CMOS fabrication
process.

Bias. This pin provides bias current for the internal circuitry. The 100 µA
bias current is provided through an external 12.4 kΩ resistor to ground.
Backplane Clock. This 10 MHz clock synchronizes multiple repeaters on a
common backplane. In the synchronous mode, BCLKIO must be supplied
to all repeaters from a common external source. In the asynchronous
mode, BCLKIO is supplied only when a repeater is outputting data to the
bus. Each repeater outputs its internally recovered clock when it takes
control of the bus. Other repeaters on the backplane then sync to BCLKIO
for the duration of the transmission.

96
IRDEN
O
IRB Driver Enable. The IRDEN pin is used to enable external bus drivers
which may be required in synchronous systems with large backplanes. This
is an active Low signal, maintained for the duration of the data
transmission. IRDEN must be pulled up locally by a 330 Ω resistor.

IRCFS
I/O
8
98
IRCOL
I/O
IRB Collision Flag Sense (IRCFS) and IRB Collision (IRCOL). These two
pins are used for collision signalling between multiple LXT914 devices on
the Inter-Repeater Backplane (IRB). Both the IRCFS bus and the IRCOL
bus must be pulled up globally with 330 Ω resistors. (IRCFS requires a
precision resistor [±1%].)2
NOTES:
1. IRENA and IRDAT can be buffered between boards in multi-board configurations. Where buffering is used,
a 330 Ω pull-up resistor can be used on each signal, on each board. Where no buffering is used, the total
impedance should be no less than 330 Ω.
2. IRCFS and IRCOL cannot be buffered. In multi-board configurations, the total impedance on IRCOL should
be no smaller than 330 Ω. IRCFS should be pulled up only once, by a single 330 Ω, 1% resistor.

Backplane Sync Mode Select. This pin selects the backplane sync mode.
When this pin is left floating an internal pull-up defaults to the
Asynchronous mode (A/SYNC High). In the asynchronous mode 12 or
more LXT914s can be connected on the backplane, and an external 10
MHz backplane clock source is not required. When the synchronous mode
is selected (A/SYNC tied Low), 32 or more LXT914s can be connected to
the backplane and an external 10 MHz backplane clock source is required.
I
Management Mode Select. This pin selects the management mode. When
this pin is left floating, an internal pull-up defaults to the Local management
mode (LOC/EXT High). In the Local mode, setup parameters are
downloaded from an EEPROM during initialization. Once initialized with the
setup parameters, the repeater functions independently.

O
Serial Enable Output. During initialization, the LXT914 accepts 48 bits of
setup data through the SDI port. After the 48th bit, the LXT914 asserts this
pin Low. When multiple LXT914 devices are connected in a daisy-chain,
this output is tied to the SENI input of the next device in the chain. Thus
each device in the chain is serially enabled by the previous device until all
the devices have read in their 48 bits of setup data.

LXT914 — Flexible Quad Ethernet Repeater
2.0
Functional Description
2.1
Introduction
The LXT914 is an integrated hub repeater for 10BASE-T networks. The hub repeater is the central
point for information transfer across the network. The LXT914 offers multiple operating modes to
suit a broad range of applications ranging from simple 4-port stand-alone hubs or attachments for
print and file servers, up to intelligent 128-port enterprise systems with microprocessor/gate array
management.
The main functions of the LXT914 hub repeater are data recovery and re-transmission and
collision propagation. Data packets received at the AUI or 10BASE-T ports are detected and
recovered by the port receivers before being passed to the repeater core circuitry for re-timing and
re-transmission. Data packets received through the IRB port are essentially passed directly to the
core for retransmission. After recovery of a valid data packet, the repeater broadcasts it to all
enabled stations, except the originator station.
2.2
External Interfaces
The LXT914 includes four 10BASE-T ports with internal filters. The LXT914 also includes an
Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) port, a serial port and an Inter-Repeater Backplane (IRB) port.
The serial port allows an external device such as an EEPROM to download setup parameters to the
repeater. In more complex designs the serial port can also be used to monitor repeater status. The
IRB port enables multiple LXT914 devices to be cascaded, creating a large, multi-port repeater.
2.2.1
10BASE-T Ports
The four 10BASE-T transceiver ports are completely self-contained. Since the transmitters and
receivers include the required filtering, only simple, inexpensive transformers are required to
complete the 10BASE-T interface. Each individual Twisted-Pair (TP) port is implemented in
accordance with the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T standard.
2.2.2
AUI Port
The AUI port mode is selectable (DTE mode or MAU mode). With DTE mode selected, the AUI
port allows connection of an external transceiver (10BASE2, 10BASE5, 10BASE-T or FOIRL) or
a drop cable. With MAU mode selected, the AUI port establishes a MAU output allowing direct
connection to another DTE interface.
14
Datasheet
Flexible Quad Ethernet Repeater — LXT914
2.2.3
Serial Port
The serial port provides the management interface to the LXT914. Refer to Test Specifications for
serial port timing. The serial port can be either unidirectional or bidirectional, depending on the
management mode selected. In the Local management mode the serial port is unidirectional (input
only), and is used only to download setup parameters during initialization. The Local mode is
intended for use with a simple EEPROM, but the serial port may be tied Low if an EEPROM is not
required.
In the External management mode, the serial port is bi-directional (input for setup parameters,
output for status reports). The External mode is intended for use with an External Management
Device (EMD) and a Media Access Controller (MAC). The EMD (typically a gate array)
communicates with a microprocessor (e.g., Intel 8051) and can control up to three LXT914
repeaters. This simplifies design of a relatively standard 12-port repeater on a single printed circuit
board.
2.2.4
Inter-Repeater Backplane
The Inter-Repeater Backplane (IRB) allows several LXT914s to function as a single repeater. Refer
to Test Specifications for IRB timing. The IRB also allows several multi-repeater boards to be
integrated in a standard rack and to function as a single unit. The IRB supports “hot swapping” for
easy maintenance and troubleshooting. Each individual repeater distributes recovered and re-timed
data to other repeaters on the IRB for broadcast on all ports simultaneously. This simultaneous
rebroadcast allows the multi-repeater system to act as a single large repeater unit. The maximum
number of repeaters on the IRB is limited by bus loading factors such as parasitic capacitance. The
IRB can be operated synchronously or asynchronously.
2.2.4.1
Synchronous IRB Operation
In the synchronous mode, a common external source provides the 10 MHz backplane clock
(BCLKIO) and the 20 MHz system clock (SYSCLK) to all repeaters. BCLKIO must be
synchronous to SYSCLK and may be derived from SYSCLK using a divide-by-two circuit. In the
synchronous mode 32 or more LXT914 repeaters may be connected on the IRB, providing 128
10BASE-T ports and 32 AUI ports.
2.2.4.2
Asynchronous IRB Operation
In the asynchronous mode an external BCLKIO source is not required. The repeaters run
independently until one takes control of the IRB. The transmitting repeater then outputs its own 10
MHz clock onto the BCLKIO line. All other repeaters sync to that clock for the duration of the
transmission. In the asynchronous mode 12 or more LXT914 devices may be connected to the IRB,
providing 48 10BASE-T ports and 12 AUI ports.
Note:
Datasheet
The maximum number of repeaters which may be linked on the backplane is limited by board
design factors. The numbers listed above are engineering estimates only. Stronger drivers and
reduced capacitive loading in PCB layout may allow an increased device count.
15
LXT914 — Flexible Quad Ethernet Repeater
2.3
Internal Repeater Circuitry
The basic repeater circuitry is shared among all the ports within the LXT914. It consists of a global
repeater state machine, several timers and counters and the timing recovery circuit. The timing
recovery circuit includes a FIFO for re-timing and recovery of the clock which is used to clock the
receive data out onto the IRB.
The shared functional blocks of the LXT914 are controlled by the global state machine (Figure 3).
This diagram and all associated notations used are in strict accordance with section 9.6 of the IEEE
802.3 standard.
The LXT914 also implements the Partition State Diagram as defined by the IEEE 802.3 standard
and shown in Figure 4. The value of CCLimit as implemented in the LXT914 is 64.
The CCLimit value sets the number of consecutive collisions that must occur before the port is
subjected to automatic partitioning. Auto-partition/re-connection is also supported by the LXT914
with Tw5 conforming to the standard requirement of 450 to 560 bit times.
2.4
Initialization
The following description applies to the initial power-on reset and to any subsequent hardware
reset. When a reset occurs (RESET pin pulled High for > 1 ms), the device senses the levels at the
various control pins (see Table 3) to determine the correct operating modes for Management,
LEDs, and the AUI port functions.
2.4.1
Local Management Mode Initialization
An internal pull-up causes the LXT914 to default to the Local management mode unless the LOC/
EXT pin is tied Low. In the Local mode the serial port is a unidirectional interface used only to
download setup parameters from an external device.
In a Locally managed multiple-repeater (daisy chain) configuration, the first repeater in the chain
performs special functions. The First Position Select (FPS) pin is used to establish position (FPS
High = First, FPS Low = Not First). After establishing the Hardware mode, each LXT914 monitors
the FPS pin to determine its position.
If FPS is High (First Position), the repeater performs the following functions:
1. Outputs a 1 MHz Serial Clock (SCLK). SCLK is derived from the 20 MHz SYSCLK input in
ASYNC mode and from BCLKIO in SYNC mode; it is supplied to the SCLK inputs of all
other repeaters on the bus and to the EEPROM.
2. Asserts Chip Select (CS) High to enable the EEPROM.
3. Outputs a serial 9-bit request-to-send (RTS) strobe. The programmable device responds to the
RTS strobe with a serial data stream containing the setup parameters for all repeaters in the
chain.
4. Clocks the first 48 serial data input (SDI) bits from the EEPROM into its setup register. Refer
to Table 9 and Table 10 for Setup Register bit assignments.
5. Asserts Serial Enable Output (SENO) Low to enable the next repeater in line.
16
Datasheet
Flexible Quad Ethernet Repeater — LXT914
The second repeater has FPS tied Low and Serial Enable Input (SENI) connected to the Serial
Enable Output (SENO) of the first repeater. When enabled by a Low on SENI, each repeater
downloads its portion of the stream, then stops accepting data and asserts SENO Low. The SENO
pin is linked to the SENI input of the next repeater. This enables the next repeater to clock in its 48bit word and so on.
If FPS is Low (Not First Position), the repeater performs the following functions:
1. Syncs to the 1 MHz Serial Clock (SCLK) input. SCLK is supplied by the First Position
repeater.
2. Responds to SENI Low by enabling the SDI port.
3. Clocks 48 bits from the EEPROM into its setup register through the SDI port.
4. Asserts SENO Low to enable the next repeater in line.

External Management Mode Initialization
The LXT914 operates in the External management mode when the LOC/EXT pin is tied Low. In
the External mode, the serial port is a bidirectional interface between the LXT914 and an external
management device (EMD). The serial port is used to download initial setup parameters to the
repeater and to monitor status reports from the repeater. The LXT914 setup parameters can be
changed at any time by the EMD. The initialization process for each repeater in a managed mode
configuration is the same, regardless of its position; each repeater is connected directly to the
EMD. Each LXT914 initializes as follows:
1. Syncs to the 10 MHz Serial Clock (SCLK) input. SCLK must be supplied from an external
source.
2. Responds to SENI Low by enabling the SDI port.
3. Clocks 48 bits from the EMD into its setup register through the SDI port.
4. Once initialized, the LXT914 reports its status in a 48-bit serial stream after every packet
transmission or interrupt event. Refer to Table 11 and Table 12 for packet status register bit
assignments and definitions.

10BASE-T Port Operation
2.5.1
10BASE-T Reception
Each LXT914 10BASE-T port receiver acquires data packets from its twisted-pair input (TPDIP/
TPDIN). 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 DI circuit inputs falls
below 75% of the threshold level (unsquelched) for eight bit times (typical), the port receiver enters
the idle state.
Datasheet
21
LXT914 — Flexible Quad Ethernet Repeater
2.5.1.1
Programmable Internal Squelch Level
The 10BASE-T port receivers have two squelch levels: a normal level or default setting and a
reduced level squelch (-4.5 dB) selected when the ERSQx is set in the Setup register. When used
with Low noise media such as shielded twisted-pair cabling, the reduced squelch level allows
longer loop lengths in the network.
2.5.1.2
Polarity Detection and Correction
The LXT914 10BASE-T ports detect and correct for reversed polarity by monitoring link pulses
and end-of-frame sequences. A reversed polarity condition is declared when the port receives
sixteen or more incorrect link pulses consecutively, or four frames with reversed start-of-idle
sequence. In these cases the receiver reverses the polarity of the signal and thereby corrects for this
failure condition. If the port 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.)
2.5.2
10BASE-T Transmission
Each LXT914 10BASE-T port receives NRZ data from the repeater core and passes it through a
Manchester encoder. The encoded data is then transmitted to the twisted-pair network (the DO
circuit). The advanced integrated pulse shaping and filtering network produces the pre-distorted
and pre-filtered output signal 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 LXT914 10BASE-T ports transmit link integrity test pulses
in accordance with the 802.3 10BASE-T standard.
Data packets transmitted by the LXT914 contain a minimum of 56 preamble bits before the start of
frame delimiter (SFD). In the Asynchronous mode, preamble regeneration takes place on the
transmit side. In the Synchronous mode, the preamble is regenerated on the receive side and
distributed via the IRB. If the total packet is less than 96 bits including the preamble, the LXT914
extends the packet length to 96 bits by appending a Jam signal (1010...) at the end.
2.5.3
10BASE-T Link Integrity Testing
The LXT914 fully supports the 10BASE-T Link Integrity test function. The link integrity test
determines the status of the receive side twisted-pair cable. Link integrity testing is enabled unless
disabled via the DISLIx bit in the Setup register. When enabled, the receiver recognizes link
integrity pulses transmitted in the absence of data traffic. With no data packets or link integrity
pulses within 100 (±50) ms, the port enters a link fail state and disables its transmitter. The port
remains in the link fail state until it detects three or more data packets or link integrity pulses.
22
Datasheet
Flexible Quad Ethernet Repeater — LXT914
2.6
AUI Port Operation
2.6.1
AUI Reception
The LXT914 AUI port receiver acquires data packets from the network (AUIDIP/AUIDIN). Only
valid data streams above the squelch level activate the receive function. If the differential signal at
the DI circuit inputs falls below 75% of the threshold level (unsquelched) for 8 bit times (typical),
the AUI receiver enters the idle state.
2.6.2
AUI Transmission
The LXT914 AUI port receives NRZ data from the repeater core, and passes it through a
Manchester encoder. The encoded data then goes out on the network (AUIDOP/AUIDON).
2.6.3
AUI Mode Selection (DTE/MAU)
The LXT914 allows the user to change the mode of the AUI from a DTE to a MAU interface. This
option is available on both 68- and 100-pin versions except as follows:
• When using the LEDJM/AUISEL pin to select the AUI interface mode the following is true:
After reset the state of the LEDJM/AUISEL pin is sensed for the correct mode. The LEDJM/
AUISEL pin when floated or pulled Low will select the DTE interface and the LEDJM/
AUISEL output is still available. When the LEDJM/AUISEL pin is pulled High the MAU
interface is selected and the LEDJM/AUISEL function is unavailable.
• The 100-pin PQFP has an additional pin, AUISEL (pin 30). When using this pin to select the
AUI interface mode the LEDJM/AUISEL pin is still a functional LED driver. The AUISEL
pin is not latched after reset and is actively polled to determine which AUI interface mode is to
be used. Refer to Table 13.

LXT914 — Flexible Quad Ethernet Repeater
2.7
Collision Handling
A collision occurs when two or more repeater ports receive simultaneously, or when the AUI CIP/
CIN signal is active. The LXT914 fully complies with the IEEE 802.3 collision specifications, both
in individual and multi-repeater applications. In multiple-repeater configurations, collision
signaling on the IRB allows all repeaters to share collision parameters, acting as a single large
repeater.
IRCOL is a digital open-drain pin. IRCFS is an analog/digital port. The IRCOL and IRCFS lines
are pulled up globally (i.e., each signal requires one pull-up resistor for all boards). If there are
eight 3-repeater boards in the system, all eight boards share a single pull-up resistor for IRCOL and
a single pull-up resistor for IRCFS. The global pull-up may be located on one of the boards, or on
the backplane. The IRCFS line requires a precision (± 1%) resistor.
The IRENA, IRDAT and IRDEN lines are each pulled up locally (one pull-up resistor per board) if
external bus drivers are used. If no bus drivers are used then only one global pull-up per signal is
used.
2.8
Security Mode
The LXT914 security mode is fully transparent to the user. In the External management mode, the
security feature is available for all four TP ports and the AUI port. In the Local mode, security is
available for the TP ports only (the SECAUI input is reassigned as FPS). The security inputs are
normally held Low to disable the security feature. Any input can independently be pulled High to
scramble the respective port for any given length of time. For applications which do not require
security control, the SEC pins must be tied Low.
The security mode pins are real time response inputs. This allows the board designer to screen the
destination address with an application specific device and (on match of the destination address) to
assert the security input to jam the respective port for the given frame. This real time detection and
jam assertion method provides the flexibility to implement customer specific solutions. The
destination address decoding and security signal assertion functions can be integrated into the
external management device.
24
Datasheet
Flexible Quad Ethernet Repeater — LXT914
2.9
LED Display
The LED display interface consists of seven integrated LED drivers, one for each of the five
network ports and two for common functions. Each pin provides a three-state pulsed output (+5 V,
high Z, and 0 V) which allows multiple conditions to be monitored and reported independently.
Table 14 shows the LED Mode selected with each LEDM1 and LEDM0 combination. Figure 5
shows the LED Driver output conditions, and Tables 15 through 18 list the repeater states
associated with each of the five conditions.
Note:
If LED mode 0 is selected and the LEDJM/AUISEL pin is High (which selects MAU Mode), the
device defaults to LED Mode 1. LED Mode 0 is not available when LEDJM/AUISEL is pulled
High.

LXT914 — Flexible Quad Ethernet Repeater

Application Information
3.1
12-Port Hub Repeater
Figure 6 (Sheets 1 through 4) shows a simple 12-port hub repeater application with 3 LXT914s.
This application also provides two additional AUI ports—one DB-15 connector and one coaxial
port. The application shown uses the asynchronous backplane mode so no external backplane clock
source is required.
Figure 6 (Sheet 1) shows the XL93C46 EEPROM which downloads the setup parameters for all
the LXT914 devices at initialization. (This EEPROM could be replaced with a simple pull down
resistor on the SDI pin. This will select the default conditions of the set up register.) A single 20
MHz crystal provides the SYSCLK for all three LXT914 chips. The LXT914 hub repeater on Sheet
1 provides the AUI DB-15 connector as well as four twisted-pair ports. Table 19 lists transformers
suggested for use with the LXT914.
Figure 6 (Sheet 2) shows a second LXT914 hub repeater with four TP ports and a coaxial port. The
MD-001 coax transceiver is used to implement the port. Sheet 3 shows the third LXT914 device
with its four TP ports and indicator LEDs. The AUI port of the third LXT914 hub repeater is not
used. Sheet 4 of the schematic shows the LEDs for the remaining LXT914 devices, along with the
LED operation table.
3.2
8-Port Print or File Server
Figure 7 (Sheets 1 and 2) shows an eight-port repeater attachment for an existing single port AUI
or 10BASE5 interface. This application can be added to a current design with an existing AUI or
10BASE5 interface. This circuit allows increased connectivity without the need for another
external remote hub. The application shown is a 68-pin PLCC, an asynchronous backplane with
both LXT914s in the first position.
In Figure 7 (Sheet 1) the LXT914 is set up with the LEDs in Mode 1 with one LED per port and a
single collision LED. The twisted pair port LEDs display link integrity only. (Refer to Table 16.)
LED Mode 1 is selected by pulling LEDM0 High with a 1 kΩ resistor on pin 17 and pulling
LEDM1 Low with pin 35 attached to ground.
Figure 7 (Sheet 2) has the same configuration, mode of operation and LED Mode as used in Sheet
1. However, the AUI port has been configured as a MAU interface. This is selected when LEDJM/
AUISEL on pin 28 is pulled up through a 1 kΩ resistor. This mode disables the LEDJM pin as an
LED driver. (See Table 13.) The MAU interface now configured on the LXT914 allows the AUI
port to attach to a DTE interface. This application increases connectivity to any existing single-port
Ethernet design. This unique application allows the designer to integrate an external hub,
eliminating the need for additional external equipment.
