Chapter 1
General Description
SMSC's COM20020I 3V is a member of the family of Embedded ARCNET Controllers from Standard Microsystems
Corporation. The device is a general purpose communications controller for networking microcontrollers and intelligent
peripherals in industrial and embedded control environments using an ARCNET protocol engine. The flexible
microcontroller and media interfaces, eight-page message support, and extended temperature range of the COM20020I
3V make it the only true network controller optimized for use in industrial and embedded applications. Using an
ARCNET protocol engine is the ideal solution for embedded control applications because it provides a deterministic
token-passing protocol, a highly reliable and proven networking scheme, and a data rate of up to 5 Mbps when using the
COM20020I 3V.
A token-passing protocol provides predictable response times because each network event occurs within a
predetermined time interval, based upon the number of nodes on the network. The deterministic nature of ARCNET is
essential in real time applications. The integration of the 2Kx8 RAM buffer on-chip, the Command Chaining feature, the 5
Mbps maximum data rate, and the internal diagnostics make the COM20020I 3V the highest performance embedded
communications device available. With only one COM20020I 3V and one microcontroller, a complete communications
node may be implemented.
For more details on the ARCNET protocol engine and traditional dipulse signaling schemes, please refer to
the ARCNET Local Area Network Standard, available from Standard Microsystems Corporation or the
ARCNET Designer's Handbook, available from Datapoint Corporation.
For more detailed information on cabling options including RS485, transformer-coupled RS-485 and Fiber
Optic interfaces, please refer to the following technical note which is available from Standard Microsystems
Corporation: Technical Note 7-5 - Cabling Guidelines for the COM20020I 3V ULANC.

Protocol Description
Network Protocol
Communication on the network is based on a token passing protocol. Establishment of the network configuration and
management of the network protocol are handled entirely by the COM20020I 3V's internal microcoded sequencer. A
processor or intelligent peripheral transmits data by simply loading a data packet and its destination ID into the
COM20020I 3V's internal RAM buffer, and issuing a command to enable the transmitter. When the COM20020I 3V next
receives the token, it verifies that the receiving node is ready by first transmitting a FREE BUFFER ENQUIRY message.
If the receiving node transmits an ACKnowledge message, the data packet is transmitted followed by a 16-bit CRC. If
the receiving node cannot accept the packet (typically its receiver is inhibited), it transmits a Negative AcKnowledge
message and the transmitter passes the token. Once it has been established that the receiving node can accept the
packet and transmission is complete, the receiving node verifies the packet. If the packet is received successfully, the
receiving node transmits an ACKnowledge message (or nothing if it is not received successfully) allowing the transmitter
to set the appropriate status bits to indicate successful or unsuccessful delivery of the packet. An interrupt mask permits
the COM20020I 3V to generate an interrupt to the processor when selected status bits become true. Figure 1 is a flow
chart illustrating the internal operation of the COM20020I 3V connected to a 20 MHz crystal oscillator.
4.2
Data Rates
The COM20020I 3V is capable of supporting data rates from 156.25 Kbps to 5 Mbps. The following protocol description
assumes a 5 Mbps data rate. To attain the faster data rates, the clock frequency may be doubled by the internal clock
multiplier (see next section). For slower data rates, an internal clock divider scales down the clock frequency. Thus all
timeout values are scaled as shown in the following table:
Example: IDLE LINE Timeout @ 5 Mbps = 41 μs. IDLE LINE Timeout for 156.2 Kbps is 41 μs * 32 = 1.3 ms

Selecting Clock Frequencies Above 2.5 Mbps
To realize a 5 Mbps network, an external 40 MHz clock must be input. However, since 40 MHz is near the frequency
of FM radio band, it is not practical for use for noise emission reasons. Therefore, higher frequency clocks are
generated from the 20 MHz crystal as selected through two bits in the Setup2 register, CKUP as shown below. The
selected clock is supplied to the ARCNET controller.
CKUP
0
1
CLOCK FREQUENCY (DATA RATE)
20 MHz (Up to 2.5Mbps) Default (Bypass)
40 MHz (Up to 5Mbps)
This clock multiplier is powered-down (bypassed) on default. After changing the CKUP bit, the ARCNET core operation
is stopped and the internal PLL in the clock generator is awakened and it starts to generate the 40 MHz. The lock out
time of the internal PLL is 8uSec typically. After more than 8 μsec (this wait time is defined as 1 msec in this data
sheet), it is necessary to write command data '18H' to the command register to re-start the ARCNET core operation.
This clock generator is called “clock multiplier”.
Changing the CKUP bit must be one time or less after releasing hardware reset.

Network Reconfiguration
A significant advantage of the COM20020I 3V is its ability to adapt to changes on the network. Whenever a new node
is activated or deactivated, a NETWORK RECONFIGURATION is performed. When a new COM20020I 3V is turned
on (creating a new active node on the network), or if the COM20020I 3V has not received an INVITATION TO
TRANSMIT for 420mS, or if a software reset occurs, the COM20020I 3V causes a NETWORK RECONFIGURATION
by sending a RECONFIGURE BURST consisting of eight marks and one space repeated 765 times. The purpose of
this burst is to terminate all activity on the network. Since this burst is longer than any other type of transmission, the
burst will interfere with the next INVITATION TO TRANSMIT, destroy the token and keep any other node from
assuming control of the line.
When any COM20020I 3V senses an idle line for greater than 41μS, which occurs only when the token Is lost, each
COM20020I 3V starts an internal timeout equal to 73μs times the quantity 255 minus its own ID. The COM20020I 3V
starts network reconfiguration by sending an invitation to transmit first to itself and then to all other nodes by
decrementing the destination Node ID. If the timeout expires with no line activity, the COM20020I 3V starts sending
INVITATION TO TRANSMIT with the Destination ID (DID) equal to the currently stored NID. Within a given network,
only one COM20020I 3V will timeout (the one with the highest ID number). After sending the INVITATION TO
TRANSMIT, the COM20020I 3V waits for activity on the line. If there is no activity for 37.4μS, the COM20020I 3V
increments the NID value and transmits another INVITATION TO TRANSMIT using the NID equal to the DID. If
activity appears before the 37.4μS timeout expires, the COM20020I 3V releases control of the line. During
NETWORK RECONFIGURATION, INVITATIONS TO TRANSMIT are sent to all NIDs (1-255).
Each COM20020I 3V on the network will finally have saved a NID value equal to the ID of the COM20020I 3V that it
released control to. At this point, control is passed directly from one node to the next with no wasted INVITATIONS TO
TRANSMIT being sent to ID's not on the network, until the next NETWORK RECONFIGURATION occurs. When a
node is powered off, the previous node attempts to pass the token to it by issuing an INVITATION TO TRANSMIT.
Since this node does not respond, the previous node times out and transmits another INVITATION TO TRANSMIT to
an incremented ID and eventually a response will be received.
The NETWORK RECONFIGURATION time depends on the number of nodes in the network, the propagation delay
between nodes, and the highest ID number on the network, but is typically within the range of 12 to 30.5 mS.
4.4
Broadcast Messages
Broadcasting gives a particular node the ability to transmit a data packet to all nodes on the network simultaneously.
ID zero is reserved for this feature and no node on the network can be assigned ID zero. To broadcast a message,
the transmitting node's processor simply loads the RAM buffer with the data packet and sets the DID equal to zero.
Figure 4 illustrates the position of each byte in the packet with the DID residing at address 0X01 or
Hex of the current page selected in the "Enable Transmit from Page fnn" command. Each individual node has the
ability to ignore broadcast messages by setting the most significant bit of the "Enable Receive to Page fnn" command
to a logic "0".
4.5
Extended Timeout Function
There are three timeouts associated with the COM20020I 3V operation. The values of these timeouts are
controlled by bits 3 and 4 of the Configuration Register and bit 5 of the Setup 1 Register.
Response Time
The Response Time determines the maximum propagation delay allowed between any two nodes, and should be chosen
to be larger than the round trip propagation delay between the two furthest nodes on the network plus the maximum turn
around time (the time it takes a particular COM20020I 3V to start sending a message in response to a received message)
which is approximately 6.4 μS. The round trip propagation delay is a function of the transmission media and network
topology. For a typical system using RG62 coax in a baseband system, a one way cable propagation delay of 15.5 μS
translates to a distance of about 2 miles. The flow chart in Figure 1 uses a value of 37.4uS (15.5 + 15.5 + 6.4) to
determine if any node will respond.

Page 12
DATASHEET
Revision 09-11-06
5Mbps ARCNET (ANSI 878.1) Controller with 2K x 8 On-Chip RAM
Idle Time
The Idle Time is associated with a NETWORK RECONFIGURATION. Figure 1 illustrates that during a NETWORK
RECONFIGURATION one node will continually transmit INVITATIONS TO TRANSMIT until it encounters an active node.
All other nodes on the network must distinguish between this operation and an entirely idle line. During NETWORK
RECONFIGURATION, activity will appear on the line every 41 μS. This 41 μS is equal to the Response Time of 37.4 μS
plus the time it takes the COM20020I 3V to start retransmitting another message (usually another INVITATION TO
TRANSMIT).
Reconfiguration Time
If any node does not receive the token within the Reconfiguration Time, the node will initiate a NETWORK
RECONFIGURATION. The ET2 and ET1 bits of the Configuration Register allow the network to operate over longer
distances than the 2 miles stated earlier. The logic levels on these bits control the maximum distances over which the
COM20020I 3V can operate by controlling the three timeout values described above. For proper network operation, all
COM20020I 3V's connected to the same network must have the same Response Time, Idle Time, and Reconfiguration
Time.
4.6
Line Protocol
The ARCNET line protocol is considered isochronous because each byte is preceded by a start interval and ended with a
stop interval. Unlike asynchronous protocols, there is a constant amount of time separating each data byte. On a 5
Mbps network, each byte takes exactly 11 clock intervals of 200ns each. As a result, one byte is transmitted every
2.2uS and the time to transmit a message can be precisely determined. The line idles in a spacing (logic "0") condition.
A logic "0" is defined as no line activity and a logic "1" is defined as a negative pulse of 100nS duration. A transmission
starts with an ALERT BURST consisting of 6 unit intervals of mark (logic "1"). Eight bit data characters are then sent,
with each character preceded by 2 unit intervals of mark and one unit interval of space. Five types of transmission can
be performed as described below:
Invitations To Transmit
An Invitation To Transmit is used to pass the token from one node to another and is sent by the following sequence:

System Description
Microcontroller Interface
The top halves of Figure 2 and Figure 3 illustrate typical COM20020I 3V interfaces to the microcontrollers. The
interfaces consist of a 8-bit data bus, an address bus and a control bus. In order to support a wide range of
microcontrollers without requiring glue logic and without increasing the number of pins, the COM20020I 3V automatically
detects and adapts to the type of microcontroller being used. Upon hardware reset, the COM20020I 3V first determines
whether the read and write control signals are separate READ and WRITE signals (like the 80XX) or DIRECTION and
DATA STROBE (like the 68XX). To determine the type of control signals, the device requires the software to execute at
least one write access to external memory before attempting to access the COM20020I 3V. The device defaults to
80XX-like signals. Once the type of control signals are determined, the COM20020I 3V remains in this interface mode
until the next hardware reset occurs. The second determination the COM20020I 3V makes is whether the bus is
multiplexed or non-multiplexed. To determine the type of bus, the device requires the software to write to an odd
memory location followed by a read from an odd location before attempting to access the COM20020I 3V. The signal on
the A0 pin during the odd location access tells the COM20020I 3V the type of bus. Since multiplexed operation requires
A0 to be active low, activity on the A0 line tells the COM20020I 3V that the bus is non-multiplexed. The device defaults to
multiplexed operation. Both determinations may be made simultaneously by performing a WRITE followed by a READ
operation to an odd location within the COM20020I 3V Address space 20020 registers. Once the type of bus is
determined, the COM20020I 3V remains in this interface mode until hardware reset occurs.
Whenever nCS and nRD are activated, the preset determinations are assumed as final and will not be changed until
hardware reset. Refer to Chapter 3 Description of Pin Functions for details on the related signals. All accesses to the
internal RAM and the internal registers are controlled by the COM20020I 3V. The internal RAM is accessed via a
pointer-based scheme (refer to the Sequential Access Memory section), and the internal registers are accessed via direct
addressing. Many peripherals are not fast enough to take advantage of high-speed microcontrollers. Since
microcontrollers do not typically have READY inputs, standard peripherals cannot extend cycles to extend the access
time. The access time of the COM20020I 3V, on the other hand, is so fast that it does not need to limit the speed of the
microcontroller. The COM20020I 3V is designed to be flexible so that it is independent of the microcontroller speed.
The COM20020I 3V provides for no wait state arbitration via direct addressing to its internal registers and a pointer based
addressing scheme to access its internal RAM. The pointer may be used in auto-increment mode for typical sequential
buffer emptying or loading, or it can be taken out of auto-increment mode to perform random accesses to the RAM. The
data within the RAM is accessed through the data register. Data being read is prefetched from memory and placed into
the data register for the microcontroller to read. It is important to notice that only by writing a new address pointer
(writing to an address pointer low), one obtains the contents of COM20020I 3V internal RAM. Performing only read from
the Data Register does not load new data from the internal RAM. During a write operation, the data is stored in the data
register and then written into memory. Whenever the pointer is loaded for reads with a new value, data is immediately
prefetched to prepare for the first read operation.

High Speed CPU Bus Timing Support
High speed CPU bus support was added to the COM20020I 3V. The reasoning behind this is as follows: With the
Host interface in Non-multiplexed Bus mode, I/O address and Chip Select signals must be stable before the read
signal is active and remain after the read signal is inactive. But the High Speed CPU bus timing doesn't adhere to
these timings. For example, a RISC type single chip microcontroller (like the HITACHI SuperH series) changes I/O
address at the same time as the read signal. Therefore, several external logic ICs would be required to connect to this
microcontroller.
In addition, the Diagnostic Status (DIAG) register is cleared automatically by reading itself. The internal DIAG register
read signal is generated by decoding the Address (A2-A0), Chip Select (nCS) and Read (nRD) signals. The decoder
will generate a noise spike at the above tight timing. The DIAG register is cleared by the spike signal without reading
itself. This is unexpected operation. Reading the internal RAM and Next Id Register have the same mechanism as
reading the DIAG register.
Therefore, the address decode and host interface mode blocks were modified to fit the above CPU interface to support
high speed CPU bus timing. In Intel CPU mode (nRD, nWR mode), 3 bit I/O address (A2-A0) and Chip Select (nCS)
are sampled internally by Flip-Flops on the falling edge of the internal delayed nRD signal. The internal real read signal
is the more delayed nRD signal. But the rising edge of nRD doesn't delay. By this modification, the internal real
address and Chip Select are stable while the internal real read signal is active. Refer to Figure 4 below.

Figure 4 - High Speed Cpu Bus Timing - Intel CPU Mode
The I/O address and Chip Select signals, which are supplied to the data output logic, are not sampled. Also, the nRD
signal is not delayed, because the above sampling and delaying paths decrease the data access time of the read
cycle.
The above sampling and delaying signals are supplied to the Read Pulse Generation logic which generates the
clearing pulse for the Diagnostic register and generates the starting pulse of the RAM Arbitration. Typical delay time
between nRD and nRD1 is around 15nS and between nRD1 and nRD2 is around 10nS.
Longer pulse widths are needed due to these delays on nRD signal. However, the CPU can insert some wait cycles to
extend the width without any impact on performance.
The RBUSTMG bit was added to Disable/Enable the High Speed CPU Read function. It is defined as: RBUSTMG=0,
Disabled (Default); RBUSTMG=1, Enabled.
The BUSTMG pin (TQFP package only) is used to support this function. It is used to Enable/Disable the High Speed
CPU Read and Write function. It is defined as: BUSTMG = 0, the High Speed CPU Read and Write operations are
enabled; BUSTMG = 1, the High Speed CPU Read and Write operations are disabled if the RBUSTMG bit is 0. If
BUSTMG = 1 and RBUSTMG = 1, High Speed CPU Read operations are enabled (see definition of RBUSTMG bit
below).

Transmission Media Interface
The bottom halves of Figure 2 and Figure 3 illustrate the COM20020I 3V interface to the transmission media used to
connect the node to the network. Table 1 - Typical Media lists different types of cable which are suitable for ARCNET
applications. The user may interface to the cable of choice in one of three ways:
Traditional Hybrid Interface
The Traditional Hybrid Interface is that which is used with previous ARCNET devices. The Hybrid Interface is
recommended if the node is to be placed in a network with other Hybrid-Interfaced nodes. The Traditional Hybrid
Interface is for use with nodes operating at 2.5 Mbps only. The transformer coupling of the Hybrid offers isolation for the
safety of the system and offers high Common Mode Rejection. The Traditional Hybrid Interface uses circuits like
SMSC's HYC9068 or HYC9088 to transfer the pulse-encoded data between the cable and the COM20020I 3V. The
COM20020I 3V transmits a logic "1" by generating two 100nS non-overlapping negative pulses, nPULSE1 and nPULSE2.
Lack of pulses indicates a logic "0". The nPULSE1 and nPULSE2 signals are sent to the Hybrid, which creates a 200nS
dipulse signal on the media.
A logic "0" is transmitted by the absence of the dipulse. During reception, the 200nS dipulse appearing on the media is
coupled through the RF transformer of the LAN Driver, which produces a positive pulse at the RXIN pin of the
COM20020I 3V. The pulse on the RXIN pin represents a logic "1". Lack of pulse represents a logic "0". Typically,
RXIN pulses occur at multiples of 400nS. The COM20020I 3V can tolerate distortion of plus or minus 100nS and still
correctly capture and convert the RXIN pulses to NRZ format. Figure 5 illustrates the events which occur in
transmission or reception of data consisting of 1, 1, 0.
Please refer to TN7-5 – Cabling Guidelines for the COM20020I 3V ULANC, available from SMSC, for recommended
cabling distance, termination, and node count for ARCNET nodes.
Backplane Configuration
The Backplane Open Drain Configuration is recommended for cost-sensitive, short-distance applications like backplanes
and instrumentation. This mode is advantageous because it saves components, cost, and power.
Since the Backplane Configuration encodes data differently than the traditional Hybrid Configuration, nodes utilizing the
Backplane Configuration cannot communicate directly with nodes utilizing the Traditional Hybrid Configuration. The
Backplane Configuration does not isolate the node from the media nor protects it from Common Mode noise, but
Common Mode Noise is less of a problem in short distances.
The COM20020I 3V supplies a programmable output driver for Backplane Mode operation. A push/pull or open drain
driver can be selected by programming the P1MODE bit of the Setup 1 Register (see register descriptions for details).
The COM20020I 3V defaults to an open drain output.
The Backplane Configuration provides for direct connection between the COM20020I 3V and the media. Only one
pull-up resistor (in open drain configuration of the output driver) is required somewhere on the media (not on each
individual node). The nPULSE1 signal, in this mode, is an open drain or push/pull driver and is used to directly drive the
media. It issues a 200nS negative pulse to transmit a logic "1". Note that when used in the open-drain mode, the
COM20020I 3V does not have a fail/safe input on the RXIN pin. The nPULSE1 signal actually contains a weak pull-up
resistor. This pull-up should not take the place of the resistor required on the media for open drain mode.

5Mbps ARCNET (ANSI 878.1) Controller with 2K x 8 On-Chip RAM
In typical applications, the serial backplane is terminated at both ends and a bias is provided by the external pull-up
resistor.
The RXIN signal is directly connected to the cable via an internal Schmitt trigger. A negative pulse on this input indicates
a logic "1". Lack of pulse indicates a logic "0". For typical single-ended backplane applications, RXIN is connected to
nPULSE1 to make the serial backplane data line. A ground line (from the coax or twisted pair) should run in parallel with
the signal. For applications requiring different treatment of the receive signal (like filtering or squelching), nPULSE1 and
RXIN remain as independent pins. External differential drivers/receivers for increased range and common mode noise
rejection, for example, would require the signals to be independent of one another.
When the device is in Backplane Mode, the clock provided by the nPULSE2 signal may be used for encoding the data
into a different encoding scheme or other synchronous operations needed on the serial data stream.
Differential Driver Configuration
The Differential Driver Configuration is a special case of the Backplane Mode. It is a dc coupled configuration
recommended for applications like car-area networks or other cost-sensitive applications which do not require direct
compatibility with existing ARCNET nodes and do not require isolation.
The Differential Driver Configuration cannot communicate directly with nodes utilizing the Traditional Hybrid Configuration.
Like the Backplane Configuration, the Differential Driver Configuration does not isolate the node from the media.
The Differential Driver interface includes a RS485 Driver/Receiver to transfer the data between the cable and the
COM20020I 3V. The nPULSE1 signal transmits the data, provided the Transmit Enable signal is active. The nPULSE1
signal issues a 200nS (at 2.5Mbps) negative pulse to transmit a logic "1". Lack of pulse indicates a logic "0". The RXIN
signal receives the data, the transmitter portion of the COM20020I 3V is disabled during reset and the nPULSE1,
nPULSE2 and nTXEN pins are inactive.
Programmable TXEN Polarity
To accommodate transceivers with active high ENABLE pins, the COM20020I 3V contains a programmable TXEN output.
To program the TXEN pin for an active high pulse, the nPULSE2 pin should be connected to ground. To retain the normal
active low polarity, nPULSE2 should be left open. The polarity determination is made at power on reset and is valid only
for Backplane Mode operation. The nPULSE2 pin should remain grounded at all times if an active high polarity is
desired.

Functional Description
Microsequencer
The COM20020I 3V contains an internal microsequencer which performs all of the control operations necessary to
carry out the ARCNET protocol. It consists of a clock generator, a 544 x 8 ROM, a program counter, two instruction
registers, an instruction decoder, a no-op generator, jump logic, and reconfiguration logic.
The COM20020I 3V derives a 10 MHz and a 5 MHz clock from the output clock of the Clock Multiplier. These clocks
provide the rate at which the instructions are executed within the COM20020I 3V. The 10 MHz clock is the rate at
which the program counter operates, while the 5 MHz clock is the rate at which the instructions are executed. The
microprogram is stored in the ROM and the instructions are fetched and then placed into the instruction registers.
One register holds the opcode, while the other holds the immediate data. Once the instruction is fetched, it is
decoded by the internal instruction decoder, at which point the COM20020I 3V proceeds to execute the instruction.
When a no-op instruction is encountered, the microsequencer enters a timed loop and the program counter is
temporarily stopped until the loop is complete. When a jump instruction is encountered, the program counter is loaded
with the jump address from the ROM. The COM20020I 3V contains an internal reconfiguration timer which interrupts
the microsequencer if it has timed out. At this point the program counter is cleared and the MYRECON bit of the
Diagnostic Status Register is set.

INTERNAL REGISTERS
The COM20020I 3V contains 14 internal registers. Table 2 and Table 3 illustrate the COM20020I 3V register map. All
undefined bits are read as undefined and must be written as logic "0".
Interrupt Mask Register (IMR)
The COM20020I 3V is capable of generating an interrupt signal when certain status bits become true. A write to the IMR
specifies which status bits will be enabled to generate an interrupt. The bit positions in the IMR are in the same position
as their corresponding status bits in the Status Register and Diagnostic Status Register. A logic "1" in a particular position
enables the corresponding interrupt. The Status bits capable of generating an interrupt include the Receiver Inhibited bit,
New Next ID bit, Excessive NAK bit, Reconfiguration Timer bit, and Transmitter Available bit. No other Status or
Diagnostic Status bits can generate an interrupt.
The six maskable status bits are ANDed with their respective mask bits, and the results are ORed to produce the interrupt
signal. An RI or TA interrupt is masked when the corresponding mask bit is reset to logic "0", but will reappear when the
corresponding mask bit is set to logic "1" again, unless the interrupt status condition has been cleared by this time. A
RECON interrupt is cleared when the "Clear Flags" command is issued. An EXCNAK interrupt is cleared when the
"POR Clear Flags" command is issued. A New Next ID interrupt is cleared by reading the Next ID Register. The
Interrupt Mask Register defaults to the value 0000 0000 upon hardware reset.
Data Register
This read/write 8-bit register is used as the channel through which the data to and from the RAM passes. The data is
placed in or retrieved from the address location presently specified by the address pointer. The contents of the Data
Register are undefined upon hardware reset. In case of READ operation, the Data Register is loaded with the contents
of COM20020I 3V Internal Memory upon writing Address Pointer low only once.
Tentative ID Register
The Tentative ID Register is a read/write 8-bit register accessed when the Sub Address Bits are set up accordingly
(please refer to the Configuration Register and SUB ADR Register). The Tentative ID Register can be used while the
node is on-line to build a network map of those nodes existing on the network. It minimizes the need for operator
SMSC COM20020I 3.3V Rev.E

DATASHEET
Revision 09-11-06
5Mbps ARCNET (ANSI 878.1) Controller with 2K x 8 On-Chip RAM
interaction with the network. The node determines the existence of other nodes by placing a Node ID value in the
Tentative ID Register and waiting to see if the Tentative ID bit of the Diagnostic Status Register gets set. The network map
developed by this method is only valid for a short period of time, since nodes may join or depart from the network at any
time. When using the Tentative ID feature, a node cannot detect the existence of the next logical node to which it
passes the token. The Next ID Register will hold the ID value of that node. The Tentative ID Register defaults to the
value 0000 0000 upon hardware reset only.
Node ID Register
The Node ID Register is a read/write 8-bit register accessed when the Sub Address Bits are set up accordingly (please
refer to the Configuration Register and SUB ADR Register). The Node ID Register contains the unique value which
identifies this particular node. Each node on the network must have a unique Node ID value at all times. The Duplicate
ID bit of the Diagnostic Status Register helps the user find a unique Node ID. Refer to the Initialization Sequence section
for further detail on the use of the DUPID bit. The core of the COM20020I 3V does not wake up until a Node ID other
than zero is written into the Node ID Register. During this time, no microcode is executed, no tokens are passed by this
node, and no reconfigurations are caused by this node. Once a non-zero NodeID is placed into the Node ID Register,
the core wakes up but will not join the network until the TXEN bit of the Configuration Register is set. While the
Transmitter is disabled, the Receiver portion of the device is still functional and will provide the user with useful
information about the network. The Node ID Register defaults to the value 0000 0000 upon hardware reset only.
Next ID Register
The Next ID Register is an 8-bit, read-only register, accessed when the sub-address bits are set up accordingly (please
refer to the Configuration Register and SUB ADR Register). The Next ID Register holds the value of the Node ID to which
the COM20020I 3V will pass the token. When used in conjunction with the Tentative ID Register, the Next ID Register
can provide a complete network map. The Next ID Register is updated each time a node enters/leaves the network or
when a network reconfiguration occurs. Each time the microsequencer updates the Next ID Register, a New Next ID
interrupt is generated. This bit is cleared by reading the Next ID Register. Default value is 0000 0000 upon hardware or
software reset.
Status Register
The COM20020I 3V Status Register is an 8-bit read-only register. All of the bits, except for bits 5 and 6, are software
compatible with previous SMSC ARCNET devices. In previous SMSC ARCNET devices the Extended Timeout status
was provided in bits 5 and 6 of the Status Register. In the COM20020I 3V, the COM20020, the COM90C66, and the
COM90C165, COM20020-5, COM20051 and COM20051+ these bits exist in and are controlled by the Configuration
Register. The Status Register contents are defined as in Table 4, but are defined differently during the Command
Chaining operation. Please refer to the Command Chaining section for the definition of the Status Register during
Command Chaining operation. The Status Register defaults to the value 1XX1 0001 upon either hardware or software
reset.
Diagnostic Status Register
The Diagnostic Status Register contains seven read-only bits which help the user troubleshoot the network or node
operation. Various combinations of these bits and the TXEN bit of the Configuration Register represent different situations.
All of these bits, except the Excessive NAcK bit and the New Next ID bit, are reset to logic "0" upon reading the
Diagnostic Status Register or upon software or hardware reset. The EXCNAK bit is reset by the "POR Clear Flags"
command or upon software or hardware reset. The Diagnostic Status Register defaults to the value 0000 000X upon
either hardware or software reset.
Command Register
Execution of commands are initiated by performing microcontroller writes to this register. Any combinations of written
data other than those listed in Table 5 are not permitted and may result in incorrect chip and/or network operation.
Address Pointer Registers
These read/write registers are each 8-bits wide and are used for addressing the internal RAM. New pointer addresses
should be written by first writing to the High Register and then writing to the Low Register because writing to the Low
Register loads the address. The contents of the Address Pointer High and Low Registers are undefined upon hardware
reset. Writing to Address Pointer low loads the address.
Configuration Register
The Configuration Register is a read/write register which is used to configure the different modes of the COM20020I 3V.
The Configuration Register defaults to the value 0001 1000 upon hardware reset only. SUBAD0 and SUBAD1 point to the
selection in Register 7.

5Mbps ARCNET (ANSI 878.1) Controller with 2K x 8 On-Chip RAM
The sub-address register is new to the COM20020I 3V, previously a reserved register. Bits 2, 1 and 0 are used to select
one of the registers assigned to address 7h. SUBAD1 and SUBAD0 already exist in the Configuration register on the
COM20020B. They are exactly same as those in the Sub-Address register. If the SUBAD1 and SUBAD0 bits in the
Configuration register are changed, the SUBAD1and SUBAD0 in the Sub-Address register are also changed.
SUBAD2 is a new sub-address bit. It Is used to access the 1 new Set Up register, SETUP2. This register is selected by
setting SUBAD2=1. The SUBAD2 bit is cleared automatically by writing the Configuration register.
Setup 1 Register
The Setup 1 Register is a read/write 8-bit register accessed when the Sub Address Bits are set up accordingly (see the
bit definitions of the Configuration Register). The Setup 1 Register allows the user to change the network speed (data
rate) or the arbitration speed independently, invoke the Receive All feature and change the nPULSE1 driver type. The
data rate may be slowed to 156.25Kbps and/or the arbitration speed may be slowed by a factor of two. The Setup 1
Register defaults to the value 0000 0000 upon hardware reset only.
Setup 2 Register
The Setup 2 Register is new to the COM20020I 3V. It is an 8-bit read/write register accessed when the Sub Address Bits
SUBAD[2:0] are set up accordingly (see the bit definitions of the Sub Address Register). This register contains bits for
various functions. The CKUP bit select the clock to be generated from the 20 MHz crystal. The RBUSTMG bit is used
to Disable/Enable Fast Read function for High Speed CPU bus support. The EF bit is used to enable the new timing for
certain functions in the COM20020I 3V (if EF = 0, the timing is the same as in the COM20020I 3V Rev. B). See
Appendix “A”. The NOSYNC bit is used to enable the NOSYNC function during initialization. If this bit is reset, the
line has to be idle for the RAM initialization sequence to be written. If set, the line does not have to be idle for the
initialization sequence to be written. See Appendix “A”.
The RCNTM[1,0] bits are used to set the time-out period of the recon timer. Programming this timer for shorter time
periods has the benefit of shortened network reconfiguration periods. The time periods shown in the table on the
following page are limited by a maximum number of nodes in the network. These time-out period values are for 5Mbps.
For other data rates, scale the time-out period time values accordingly; the maximum node count remains the same.

SYMBOL
DESCRIPTION
RI
This bit, if high, indicates that the receiver is not enabled because
either an "Enable Receive to Page fnn" command was never
issued, or a packet has been deposited into the RAM buffer page
fnn as specified by the last "Enable Receive to Page fnn"
command. No messages will be received until this command is
issued, and once the message has been received, the RI bit is set,
thereby inhibiting the receiver. The RI bit is cleared by issuing an
"Enable Receive to Page fnn" command. This bit, when set, will
cause an interrupt if the corresponding bit of the Interrupt Mask
Register (IMR) is also set. When this bit is set and another station
attempts to send a packet to this station, this station will send a
NAK.
These bits are undefined.
POR
This bit, if high, indicates that the COM20020I 3V has been reset by
either a software reset, a hardware reset, or writing 00H to the
Node ID Register. The POR bit is cleared by the "Clear Flags"
command.
TEST
This bit is intended for test and diagnostic purposes. It is a logic
"0" under normal operating conditions.
RECON This bit, if high, indicates that the Line Idle Timer has timed out
because the RXIN pin was idle for 41μS. The RECON bit is
cleared during a "Clear Flags" command. This bit, when set, will
cause an interrupt if the corresponding bit in the IMR is also set.
The interrupt service routine should consist of examining the
MYRECON bit of the Diagnostic Status Register to determine
whether there are consecutive reconfigurations caused by this
node.
TMA
This bit, if high, indicates that the packet transmitted as a result of
an "Enable Transmit from Page fnn" command has been
acknowledged. This bit should only be considered valid after the
TA bit (bit 0) is set. Broadcast messages are never acknowledged.
The TMA bit is cleared by issuing the "Enable Transmit from Page
fnn" command.
TA
This bit, if high, indicates that the transmitter is available for
transmitting. This bit is set when the last byte of scheduled packet
has been transmitted out, or upon execution of a "Disable
Transmitter" command. The TA bit is cleared by issuing the
"Enable Transmit from Page fnn" command after the node next
receives the token. This bit, when set, will cause an interrupt if the
corresponding bit in the IMR is also set.

DESCRIPTION
MYThis bit, if high, indicates that a past reconfiguration was caused by
this node. It is set when the Lost Token Timer times out, and
RECON
should be typically read following an interrupt caused by RECON.
Refer to the Improved Diagnostics section for further detail.
DUPID
This bit, if high, indicates that the value in the Node ID Register
matches both Destination ID characters of the token and a
response to this token has occurred. Trailing zero's are also
verified. A logic "1" on this bit indicates a duplicate Node ID, thus
the user should write a new value into the Node ID Register. This bit
is only useful for duplicate ID detection when the device is off line,
that is, when the transmitter is disabled. When the device is on
line this bit will be set every time the device gets the token. This bit
is reset automatically upon reading the Diagnostic Status Register.
Refer to the Improved Diagnostics section for further detail.
RCVACT This bit, if high, indicates that data activity (logic "1") was detected
on the RXIN pin of the device. Refer to the Improved Diagnostics
section for further detail.
TOKEN
This bit, if high, indicates that a token has been seen on the
network, sent by a node other than this one. Refer to the
Improved Diagnostic section for further detail.
EXCNAK This bit, if high, indicates that either 128 or 4 Negative
Acknowledgements have occurred in response to the Free Buffer
Enquiry.
This bit is cleared upon the "POR Clear Flags"
command. Reading the Diagnostic Status Register does not clear
this bit. This bit, when set, will cause an interrupt if the
corresponding bit in the IMR is also set. Refer to the Improved
Diagnostics section for further detail.
TENTID
This bit, if high, indicates that a response to a token whose DID
matches the value in the Tentative ID Register has occurred. The
second DID and the trailing zero's are not checked. Since each
node sees every token passed around the network, this feature can
be used with the device on-line in order to build and update a
network map. Refer to the Improved Diagnostics section for
further detail.
NEW
This bit, if high, indicates that the Next ID Register has been
updated and that a node has either joined or left the network.
NXTID
Reading the Diagnostic Status Register does not clear this bit. This
bit, when set, will cause an interrupt if the corresponding bit in the
IMR is also set. The bit is cleared by reading the Next ID Register.
This bit is undefined.

DESCRIPTION
This command is used only in the Command Chaining operation.
Please refer to the Command Chaining section for definition of this
command.
This command will cancel any pending transmit command
(transmission that has not yet started) and will set the TA
(Transmitter Available) status bit to logic "1" when the COM20020I
3V next receives the token.
This command will cancel any pending receive command. If the
COM20020I 3V is not yet receiving a packet, the RI (Receiver
Inhibited) bit will be set to logic "1" the next time the token is
received. If packet reception is already underway, reception will
run to its normal conclusion.
This command allows the COM20020I 3V to receive data packets
into RAM buffer page fnn and resets the RI status bit to logic "0".
The values placed in the "nn" bits indicate the page that the data
will be received into (page 0, 1, 2, or 3). If the value of "f" is a
logic "1", an offset of 256 bytes will be added to that page
specified in "nn", allowing a finer resolution of the buffer. Refer to
the Selecting RAM Page Size section for further detail. If the
value of "b" is logic "1", the device will also receive broadcasts
(transmissions to ID zero). The RI status bit is set to logic "1"
upon successful reception of a message.
This command prepares the COM20020I 3V to begin a transmit
sequence from RAM buffer page fnn the next time it receives the
token. The values of the "nn" bits indicate which page to transmit
from (0, 1, 2, or 3). If "f" is logic "1", an offset of 256 bytes is the
start of the page specified in "nn", allowing a finer resolution of the
buffer. Refer to the Selecting RAM Page Size section for further
detail. When this command is loaded, the TA and TMA bits are
reset to logic "0". The TA bit is set to logic "1" upon completion of
the transmit sequence. The TMA bit will have been set by this
time if the device has received an ACK from the destination node.
The ACK is strictly hardware level, sent by the receiving node
before its microcontroller is even aware of message reception.
Refer to Figure 1 for details of the transmit sequence and its
relation to the TA and TMA status bits.
This command defines the maximum length of packets that may
be handled by the device. If "c" is a logic "1", the device handles
both long and short packets. If "c" is a logic "0", the device
handles only short packets.
This command resets certain status bits of the COM20020I 3V. A
logic "1" on "p" resets the POR status bit and the EXCNAK
Diagnostic status bit. A logic "1" on "r" resets the RECON status
bit.
This command is used only in the Command Chaining operation.
Please refer to the Command Chaining section for definition of this
command.
This command restarts the stopped internal operation after
changing CKUP bit.

Internal Ram
The integration of the 2K x 8 RAM in the COM20020I 3V represents significant real estate savings. The most obvious
benefit is the 48 pin package in which the device is now placed (a direct result of the integration of RAM). In addition, the
PC board is now free of the cumbersome external RAM, external latch, and multiplexed address/data bus and control
functions which were necessary to interface to the RAM. The integration of RAM represents significant cost savings
because it isolates the system designer from the changing costs of external RAM and it minimizes reliability problems,
assembly time and costs, and layout complexity.

Revision 09-11-06
5Mbps ARCNET (ANSI 878.1) Controller with 2K x 8 On-Chip RAM
Sequential Access Memory
The internal RAM is accessed via a pointer-based scheme. Rather than interfering with system memory, the internal
RAM is indirectly accessed through the Address High and Low Pointer Registers. The data is channeled to and from the
microcontroller via the 8-bit data register. For example: a packet in the internal RAM buffer is read by the microcontroller
by writing the corresponding address into the Address Pointer High and Low Registers (offsets 02H and 03H). Note that
the High Register should be written first, followed by the Low Register, because writing to the Low Register loads the
address. At this point the device accesses that location and places the corresponding data into the data register. The
microcontroller then reads the data register (offset 04H) to obtain the data at the specified location. If the Auto Increment
bit is set to logic "1", the device will automatically increment the address and place the next byte of data into the data
register, again to be read by the microcontroller. This process is continued until the entire packet is read out of RAM.
Refer to Figure 8 for an illustration of the Sequential Access operation. When switching between reads and writes, the
pointer must first be written with the starting address. At least one cycle time should separate the pointer being loaded
and the first read (see timing parameters).
Access Speed
The COM20020I 3V is able to accommodate very fast access cycles to its registers and buffers. Arbitration to the buffer
does not slow down the cycle because the pointer based access method allows data to be prefetched from memory and
stored in a temporary register. Likewise, data to be written is stored in the temporary register and then written to memory.
For systems which do not require quick access time, the arbitration clock may be slowed down by setting bit 0 of the
Setup1 Register equal to logic "1". Since the Slow Arbitration feature divides the input clock by two, the duty cycle of the
input clock may be relaxed.
SOFTWARE INTERFACE
The microcontroller interfaces to the COM20020I 3V via software by accessing the various registers. These actions are
described in the Internal Registers section. The software flow for accessing the data buffer is based on the Sequential
Access scheme. The basic sequence is as follows:
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
Disable Interrupts
Write to Pointer Register High (specifying Auto-Increment mode)
Write to Pointer Register Low (this loads the address)
Enable Interrupts
Read or Write the Data Register (repeat as many times as necessary to empty or fill the buffer)
The pointer may now be read to determine how many transfers were completed.
The software flow for controlling the Configuration, Node ID, Tentative ID, and Next ID registers is generally limited to the
initialization sequence and the maintenance of the network map.
Additionally, it is necessary to understand the details of how the other Internal Registers are used in the transmit and
receive sequences and to know how the internal RAM buffer is properly set up. The sequence of events that tie these
actions together is discussed as follows.
Selecting RAM Page Size
During normal operation, the 2K x 8 of RAM is divided into four pages of 512 bytes each. The page to be used is specified
in the "Enable Transmit (Receive) from (to) Page fnn" command, where "nn" specifies page 0, 1, 2, or 3.
This allows the user to have constant control over the allocation of RAM.
When the Offset bit "f" (bit 5 of the "Enable Transmit (Receive) from (to) Page fnn" command word) is set to logic "1", an
offset of 256 bytes is added to the page specified. For example: to transmit from the second half of page 0, the command
"Enable Transmit from Page fnn" (fnn=100 in this case) is issued by writing 0010 0011 to the Command Register. This
allows a finer resolution of the buffer pages without affecting software compatibility. This scheme is useful for applications
which frequently use packet sizes of 256 bytes or less, especially for microcontroller systems with limited memory
capacity. The remaining portions of the buffer pages which are not allocated for current transmit or receive packets may
be used as temporary storage for previous network data, packets to be sent later, or as extra memory for the system,
which may be indirectly accessed.
If the device is configured to handle both long and short packets (see "Define Configuration" command), then receive
pages should always be 512 bytes long because the user never knows what the length of the receive packet will be. In
this case, the transmit pages may be made 256 bytes long, leaving at least 512 bytes free at any given time. Even if the
Command Chaining operation is being used, 512 bytes is still guaranteed to be free because Command Chaining only

Page 36
DATASHEET
Revision 09-11-06
5Mbps ARCNET (ANSI 878.1) Controller with 2K x 8 On-Chip RAM
requires two pages for transmit and two for receive (in this case, two 256 byte pages for transmit and two 512 byte pages
for receive, leaving 512 bytes free). Please note that it is the responsibility of software to reserve 512 bytes for each
receive page if the device is configured to handle long packets. The COM20020I 3V does not check page boundaries
during reception. If the device is configured to handle only short packets, then both transmit and receive pages may be
allocated as 256 bytes long, freeing at least 1KByte at any given time.
Even if the Command Chaining operation is being used, 1KByte is still guaranteed to be free because Command
Chaining only requires two pages for transmit and two for receive (in this case, a total of four 256 byte pages, leaving 1K
free).
The general rule which may be applied to determine where in RAM a page begins is as follows:
Address = (nn x 512) + (f x 256).
Transmit Sequence
During a transmit sequence, the microcontroller selects a 256 or 512 byte segment of the RAM buffer and writes into it.
The appropriate buffer size is specified in the "Define Configuration" command. When long packets are enabled, the
COM20020I 3V interprets the packet as either a long or short packet, depending on whether the buffer address 2
contains a zero or non-zero value. The format of the buffer is shown in Figure 9. Address 0 contains the Source
Identifier (SID); Address 1 contains the Destination Identifier (DID); Address 2 (COUNT) contains, for short packets, the
value 256-N, where N represents the number of information bytes in the message, or for long packets, the value 0,
indicating that it is indeed a long packet. In the latter case, Address 3 (COUNT) would contain the value 512-N, where N
represents the number of information bytes in the message.

The SID in Address 0 is used by the receiving node to reply to the transmitting node. The COM20020I 3V puts the
local ID in this location, therefore it is not necessary to write into this location. Please note that a short packet may
contain between 1 and 253 data bytes, while a long packet may contain between 257 and 508 data bytes. A
minimum value of 257 exists on a long packet so that the COUNT is expressible in eight bits. This leaves three
exception packet lengths which do not fit into either a short or long packet; packet lengths of 254, 255, or 256 bytes.
If packets of these lengths must be sent, the user must add dummy bytes to the packet in order to make the
packet fit into a long packet.
Once the packet is written into the buffer, the microcontroller awaits a logic "1" on the TA bit, indicating that a previous
transmit command has concluded and another may be issued. Each time the message is loaded and a transmit
command issued, it will take a variable amount of time before the message is transmitted, depending on the traffic on the
network and the location of the token at the time the transmit command was issued. The conclusion of the Transmit
Command will generate an interrupt if the Interrupt Mask allows it. If the device is configured for the Command Chaining
operation, please see the Command Chaining section for further detail on the transmit sequence. Once the TA bit
becomes a logic "1", the microcontroller may issue the "Enable Transmit from Page fnn" command, which resets the TA
and TMA bits to logic "0". If the message is not a BROADCAST, the COM20020I 3V automatically sends a FREE
BUFFER ENQUIRY to the destination node in order to send the message. At this point, one of four possibilities may
SMSC COM20020I 3.3V Rev.E
Page 38
DATASHEET
Revision 09-11-06
5Mbps ARCNET (ANSI 878.1) Controller with 2K x 8 On-Chip RAM
occur.
The first possibility is if a free buffer is available at the destination node, in which case it responds with an
ACKnowledgement. At this point, the COM20020I 3V fetches the data from the Transmit Buffer and performs the transmit
sequence. If a successful transmit sequence is completed, the TMA bit and the TA bit are set to logic "1". If the packet
was not transmitted successfully, TMA will not be set. A successful transmission occurs when the receiving node
responds to the packet with an ACK. An unsuccessful transmission occurs when the receiving node does not respond
to the packet.
The second possibility is if the destination node responds to the Free Buffer Enquiry with a Negative AcKnowledgement.
A NAK occurs when the RI bit of the destination node is a logic "1". In this case, the token is passed on from the
transmitting node to the next node. The next time the transmitter receives the token, it will again transmit a FREE
BUFFER ENQUIRY. If a NAK is again received, the token is again passed onto the next node. The Excessive NAK bit
of the Diagnostic Status Register is used to prevent an endless sending of FBE's and NAK's. If no limit of FBE-NAK
sequences existed, the transmitting node would continue issuing a Free Buffer Enquiry, even though it would
continuously receive a NAK as a response. The EXCNAK bit generates an interrupt (if enabled) in order to tell the
microcontroller to disable the transmitter via the "Disable Transmitter" command. This causes the transmission to be
abandoned and the TA bit to be set to a logic "1" when the node next receives the token, while the TMA bit remains at a
logic "0". Please refer to the Improved Diagnostics section for further detail on the EXCNAK bit.
The third possibility which may occur after a FREE BUFFER ENQUIRY is issued is if the destination node does not
respond at all. In this case, the TA bit is set to a logic "1", while the TMA bit remains at a logic "0". The user should
determine whether the node should try to reissue the transmit command.
The fourth possibility is if a non-traditional response is received (some pattern other than ACK or NAK, such as noise).
In this case, the token is not passed onto the next node, which causes the Lost Token Timer of the next node to time out,
thus generating a network reconfiguration.
The "Disable Transmitter" command may be used to cancel any pending transmit command when the COM20020I 3V
next receives the token. Normally, in an active network, this command will set the TA status bit to a logic "1" when the
token is received. If the "Disable Transmitter" command does not cause the TA bit to be set in the time it takes the token
to make a round trip through the network, one of three situations exists. Either the node is disconnected from the
network, or there are no other nodes on the network, or the external receive circuitry has failed. These situations can be
determined by either using the improved diagnostic features of the COM20020I 3V or using another software timeout
which is greater than the worst case time for a round trip token pass, which occurs when all nodes transmit a maximum
length message.
Receive Sequence
A receive sequence begins with the RI status bit becoming a logic "1", which indicates that a previous reception has
concluded. The microcontroller will be interrupted if the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Mask Register is set to logic "1".
Otherwise, the microcontroller must periodically check the Status Register. Once the microcontroller is alerted to the
fact that the previous reception has concluded, it may issue the "Enable Receive to Page fnn" command, which resets the
RI bit to logic "0" and selects a new page in the RAM buffer. Again, the appropriate buffer size is specified in the "Define
Configuration" command. Typically, the page which just received the data packet will be read by the microcontroller at
this point. Once the "Enable Receive to Page fnn" command is issued, the microcontroller attends to other duties.
There is no way of knowing how long the new reception will take, since another node may transmit a packet at any time.
When another node does transmit a packet to this node, and if the "Define Configuration" command has enabled the
reception of long packets, the COM20020I 3V interprets the packet as either a long or short packet, depending on
whether the content of the buffer location 2 is zero or non-zero. The format of the buffer is shown in Figure 10. Address
0 contains the Source Identifier (SID), Address 1 contains the Destination Identifier (DID), and Address 2 contains, for
short packets, the value 256-N, where N represents the message length, or for long packets, the value 0, indicating that it
is indeed a long packet. In the latter case, Address 3 contains the value 512-N, where N represents the message length.
Note that on reception, the COM20020I 3V deposits packets into the RAM buffer in the same format that the transmitting
node arranges them, which allows for a message to be received and then retransmitted without rearranging any bytes in
the RAM buffer other than the SID and DID. Once the packet is received and stored correctly in the selected buffer, the
COM20020I 3V sets the RI bit to logic "1" to signal the microcontroller that the reception is complete.

Command Chaining
The Command Chaining operation allows consecutive transmissions and receptions to occur without host microcontroller
intervention.
Through the use of a dual two-level FIFO, commands to be transmitted and received, as well as the status bits, are
pipelined.
In order for the COM20020I 3V to be compatible with previous SMSC ARCNET device drivers, the device defaults to the
non-chaining mode. In order to take advantage of the Command Chaining operation, the Command Chaining Mode must
be enabled via a logic "1" on bit 6 of the Configuration Register.
In Command Chaining, the Status Register appears as in Figure 10.
The following is a list of Command Chaining guidelines for the software programmer. Further detail can be found in the
Transmit Command Chaining and Receive Command Chaining sections.

The device is designed such that the interrupt service routine latency does not affect performance.
Up to two outstanding transmissions and two outstanding receptions can be pending at any given time. The
commands may be given in any order.
Up to two outstanding transmit interrupts and two outstanding receive interrupts are stored by the device, along with
their respective status bits.
The Interrupt Mask bits act on TTA (Rising Transition on Transmitter Available) for transmit operations and TRI
(Rising Transition of Receiver Inhibited) for receive operations. TTA is set upon completion of a packet
transmission only. TRI is set upon completion of a packet reception only. Typically there is no need to mask the TTA
and TRI bits after clearing the interrupt.
The traditional TA and RI bits are still available to reflect the present status of the device.
Transmit Command Chaining
When the processor issues the first "Enable Transmit to Page fnn" command, the COM20020I 3V responds in the usual
manner by resetting the TA and TMA bits to prepare for the transmission from the specified page. The TA bit can be
used to see if there is currently a transmission pending, but the TA bit is really meant to be used in the non-chaining mode
only. The TTA bits provide the relevant information for the device in the Command Chaining mode.
In the Command Chaining Mode, at any time after the first command is issued, the processor can issue a second "Enable
Transmit from Page fnn" command. The COM20020I 3V stores the fact that the second transmit command was issued,
along with the page number.
After the first transmission is completed, the COM20020I 3V updates the Status Register by setting the TTA bit, which
generates an interrupt. The interrupt service routine should read the Status Register. At this point, the TTA bit will be
found to be a logic "1" and the TMA (Transmit Message Acknowledge) bit will tell the processor whether the transmission
was successful. After reading the Status Register, the "Clear Transmit Interrupt" command is issued, thus resetting the
TTA bit and clearing the interrupt. Note that only the "Clear Transmit Interrupt" command will clear the TTA bit and the
interrupt. It is not necessary, however, to clear the bit or the interrupt right away because the status of the transmit
SMSC COM20020I 3.3V Rev.E
Page 40
DATASHEET
Revision 09-11-06
5Mbps ARCNET (ANSI 878.1) Controller with 2K x 8 On-Chip RAM
operation is double buffered in order to retain the results of the first transmission for analysis by the processor. This
information will remain in the Status Register until the "Clear Transmit Interrupt" command is issued. Note that the
interrupt will remain active until the command is issued, and the second interrupt will not occur until the first interrupt is
acknowledged. The COM20020I 3V guarantees a minimum of 200nS (at EF=1) interrupt inactive time interval between
interrupts. The TMA bit is also double buffered to reflect whether the appropriate transmission was a success. The
TMA bit should only be considered valid after the corresponding TTA bit has been set to a logic "1". The TMA bit never
causes an interrupt.
When the token is received again, the second transmission will be automatically initiated after the first is completed by
using the stored "Enable Transmit from Page fnn" command. The operation is as if a new "Enable Transmit from Page
fnn" command has just been issued. After the first Transmit status bits are cleared, the Status Register will again be
updated with the results of the second transmission and a second interrupt resulting from the second transmission will
occur. The COM20020I 3V guarantees a minimum of 200ns (at EF=1) interrupt inactive time interval before the
following edge.
The Transmitter Available (TA) bit of the Interrupt Mask Register now masks only the TTA bit of the Status Register, not
the TA bit as in the non-chaining mode. Since the TTA bit is only set upon transmission of a packet (not by RESET), and
since the TTA bit may easily be reset by issuing a "Clear Transmit Interrupt" command, there is no need to use the TA bit
of the Interrupt Mask Register to mask interrupts generated by the TTA bit of the Status Register.
In Command Chaining mode, the "Disable Transmitter" command will cancel the oldest transmission. This permits
canceling a packet destined for a node not ready to receive. If both packets should be canceled, two "Disable
Transmitter" commands should be issued.
Receive Command Chaining
Like the Transmit Command Chaining operation, the processor can issue two consecutive "Enable Receive from Page
fnn" commands.
After the first packet is received into the first specified page, the TRI bit of the Status Register will be set to logic "1",
causing an interrupt. Again, the interrupt need not be serviced immediately. Typically, the interrupt service routine will
read the Status Register. At this point, the RI bit will be found to be a logic "1". After reading the Status Register, the
"Clear Receive Interrupt" command should be issued, thus resetting the TRI bit and clearing the interrupt. Note that only
the "Clear Receive Interrupt" command will clear the TRI bit and the interrupt. It is not necessary, however, to clear the
bit or the interrupt right away because the status of the receive operation is double buffered in order to retain the results of
the first reception for analysis by the processor, therefore the information will remain in the Status Register until the "Clear
Receive Interrupt" command is issued. Note that the interrupt will remain active until the "Clear Receive Interrupt"
command is issued, and the second interrupt will be stored until the first interrupt is acknowledged. A minimum of
200nS (at EF=1) interrupt inactive time interval between interrupts is guaranteed.
The second reception will occur as soon as a second packet is sent to the node, as long as the second "Enable Receive
to Page fnn" command was issued. The operation is as if a new "Enable Receive to Page fnn" command has just been
issued. After the first Receive status bits are cleared, the Status Register will again be updated with the results of the
second reception and a second interrupt resulting from the second reception will occur.
In the COM20020I 3V, the Receive Inhibit (RI) bit of the Interrupt Mask Register now masks only the TRI bit of the Status
Register, not the RI bit as in the non-chaining mode. Since the TRI bit is only set upon reception of a packet (not by
RESET), and since the TRI bit may easily be reset by issuing a "Clear Receive Interrupt" command, there is no need to
use the RI bit of the Interrupt Mask Register to mask interrupts generated by the TRI bit of the Status Register. In
Command Chaining mode, the "Disable Receiver" command will cancel the oldest reception, unless the reception has
already begun. If both receptions should be canceled, two "Disable Receiver" commands should be issued.
RESET DETAILS
Internal Reset Logic
The COM20020I 3V includes special reset circuitry to guarantee smooth operation during reset. Special care is taken to
assure proper operation in a variety of systems and modes of operation. The COM20020I 3V contains digital filter
circuitry and a Schmitt Trigger on the nRESET signal to reject glitches in order to ensure fault-free operation.
The COM20020I 3V supports two reset options; software and hardware reset. A software reset is generated when a

Revision 09-11-06

logic "1" is written to bit 7 of the Configuration Register. The device remains in reset as long as this bit is set. The
software reset does not affect the microcontroller interface modes determined after hardware reset, nor does it affect the
contents of the Address Pointer Registers, the Configuration Register, or the Setup1 Register. A hardware reset occurs
when a low signal is asserted on the nRESET input. The minimum reset pulse width is 5TXTL. This pulse width is used
by the internal digital filter, which filters short glitches to allow only valid resets to occur.
Upon reset, the transmitter portion of the device is disabled and the internal registers assume those states outlined in the
Internal Registers section. After the nRESET signal is removed the user may write to the internal registers. Since writing
a non-zero value to the Node ID Register wakes up the COM20020I 3V core, the Setup1 Register should be written
before the Node ID Register. Once the Node ID Register is written to, the COM20020I 3V reads the value and executes
two write cycles to the RAM buffer. Address 0 is written with the data D1H and address 1 is written with the Node ID. The
data pattern D1H was chosen arbitrarily, and is meant to provide assurance of proper microsequencer operation.
6.5
Initialization Sequence
Bus Determination
Writing to and reading from an odd address location from the COM20020I 3V's address space causes the COM20020I
3V to determine the appropriate bus interface. When the COM20020I 3V is powered on the internal registers may be
written to. Since writing a non-zero value to the Node ID Register wakes up the core, the Setup1 Register should be
written to before the Node ID Register. Until a non-zero value is placed into the NID Register, no microcode is executed,
no tokens are passed by this node, and no reconfigurations are generated by this node. Once a non-zero value is
placed in the register, the core wakes up, but the node will not attempt to join the network until the TX Enable bit of the
Configuration Register is set.
Before setting the TX Enable bit, the software may make some determinations. The software may first observe the
Receive Activity and the Token Seen bits of the Diagnostic Status Register to verify the health of the receiver and the
network.
Next, the uniqueness of the Node ID value placed in the Node ID Register is determined. The TX Enable bit should still
be a logic "0" until it is ensured that the Node ID is unique. If this node ID already exists, the Duplicate ID bit of the
Diagnostic Status Register is set after a maximum of 420mS (or 840mS if the ET1 and ET2 bits are other than 1,1). To
determine if another node on the network already has this ID, the COM20020I 3V compares the value in the Node ID
Register with the DID's of the token, and determines whether there is a response to it. Once the Diagnostic Status
Register is read, the DUPID bit is cleared. The user may then attempt a new ID value, wait 420mS before checking the
Duplicate ID bit, and repeat the process until a unique Node ID is found. At this point, the TX Enable bit may be set to
allow the node to join the network. Once the node joins the network, a reconfiguration occurs, as usual, thus setting the
MYRECON bit of the Diagnostic Status Register.
The Tentative ID Register may be used to build a network map of all the nodes on the network, even once the
COM20020I 3V has joined the network. Once a value is placed in the Tentative ID Register, the COM20020I 3V looks
for a response to a token whose DID matches the Tentative ID Register. The software can record this information and
continue placing Tentative ID values into the register to continue building the network map. A complete network map is
only valid until nodes are added to or deleted from the network. Note that a node cannot detect the existence of the next
logical node on the network when using the Tentative ID. To determine the next logical node, the software should read
the Next ID Register.
6.6
Improved Diagnostics
The COM20020I 3V allows the user to better manage the operation of the network through the use of the internal
Diagnostic Status Register.
A high level on the My Reconfiguration (MYRECON) bit indicates that the Token Reception Timer of this node expired,
causing a reconfiguration by this node. After the Reconfiguration (RECON) bit of the Status Register interrupts the
microcontroller, the interrupt service routine will typically read the MYRECON bit of the Diagnostic Status Register.
Reading the Diagnostic Status Register resets the MYRECON bit. Successive occurrences of a logic "1" on the
MYRECON bit indicates that a problem exists with this node. At that point, the transmitter should be disabled so that the
entire network is not held down while the node is being evaluated.
The Duplicate ID (DUPID) bit is used before the node joins the network to ensure that another node with the same ID
does not exist on the network. Once it is determined that the ID in the Node ID Register is unique, the software should
write a logic "1" to bit 5 of the Configuration Register to enable the basic transmit function. This allows the node to join

Revision 09-11-06

the network.
The Receive Activity (RCVACT) bit of the Diagnostic Status Register will be set to a logic "1" whenever activity (logic "1")
is detected on the RXIN pin.
The Token Seen (TOKEN) bit is set to a logic "1" whenever any token has been seen on the network (except those
tokens transmitted by this node).
The RCVACT and TOKEN bits may help the user to troubleshoot the network or the node. If unusual events are occurring
on the network, the user may find it valuable to use the TXEN bit of the Configuration Register to qualify events.
Different combinations of the RCVACT, TOKEN, and TXEN bits, as shown indicate different situations:
Normal Results:
RCVACT=1, TOKEN=1, TXEN=0: The node is not part of the network. The network is operating properly without this
node.
RCVACT=1, TOKEN=1, TXEN=1: The node sees receive activity and sees the token. The basic transmit function is
enabled. Network and node are operating properly.
MYRECON=0, DUPID=0, RCVACT=1, TXEN=0, TOKEN=1: Single node network.
Abnormal Results:
RCVACT=1, TOKEN=0, TXEN=X: The node sees receive activity, but does not see the token. Either no other nodes
exist on the network, some type of data corruption exists, the media driver is malfunctioning, the topology is set up
incorrectly, there is noise on the network, or a reconfiguration is occurring.
RCVACT=0, TOKEN=0, TXEN=1: No receive activity is seen and the basic transmit function is enabled. The
transmitter and/or receiver are not functioning properly.
RCVACT=0, TOKEN=0, TXEN=0: No receive activity and basic transmit function disabled. This node is not connected
to the network.
The Excessive NAK (EXCNAK) bit is used to replace a timeout function traditionally implemented in software. This
function is necessary to limit the number of times a sender issues a FBE to a node with no available buffer. When the
destination node replies to 128 FBEs with 128 NAKs or 4 FBEs with 4 NAKs, the EXCNAK bit of the sender is set,
generating an interrupt. At this point the software may abandon the transmission via the "Disable Transmitter"
command. This sets the TA bit to logic "1" when the node next receives the token, to allow a different transmission to
occur. The timeout value for the EXNACK bit (128 or 4) is determined by the FOUR-NAKS bit on the Setup1 Register.
The user may choose to wait for more NAK's before disabling the transmitter by taking advantage of the wraparound
counter of the EXCNAK bit. When the EXCNAK bit goes high, indicating 128 or 4 NAKs, the "POR Clear Flags"
command maybe issued to reset the bit so that it will go high again after another count of 128 or 4. The software may
count the number of times the EXCNAK bit goes high, and once the final count is reached, the "Disable Transmitter"
command may be issued.
The New Next ID bit permits the software to detect the withdrawal or addition of nodes to the network.
The Tentative ID bit allows the user to build a network map of those nodes existing on the network. This feature is useful
because it minimizes the need for human intervention. When a value placed in the Tentative ID Register matches the
Node ID of another node on the network, the TENTID bit is set, telling the software that this NODE ID already exists on
the network. The software should periodically place values in the Tentative ID Register and monitor the New Next ID bit to
maintain an updated network map.
OSCILLATOR
The COM20020I 3V contains circuitry which, in conjunction with an external parallel resonant crystal or TTL clock, forms
an oscillator.
If an external crystal is used, two capacitors are needed (one from each leg of the crystal to ground). No external
resistor is required, since the COM20020I 3V contains an internal resistor. The crystal must have an accuracy of 0.020%

or better. The oscillation frequency range is from 10 MHz to 20 MHz.
The crystal must have an accuracy of 0.010% or better when the internal clock multiplier is turned on. The oscillation
frequency must be 20MHz when the internal clock multiplier is turned on.
The XTAL2 side of the crystal may be loaded with a single 74HC-type buffer in order to generate a clock for other
devices.
The user may attach an external TTL clock, rather than a crystal, to the XTAL1 signal. In this case, a 390Ω pull-up
resistor is required on XTAL1, while XTAL2 should be left unconnected.

Chapter 10 Appendix A
This appendix describes the function of the NOSYNC and EF bits.
NOSYNC Bit
The NOSYNC bit controls whether or not the RAM initialization sequence requires the line to be idle by enabling or
disabling the SYNC command during initialization. It is defined as follows:
NOSYNC: Enable/Disable SYNC command during initialization. NOSYNC=0, Enable (Default): the line has to be idle
for the RAM initialization sequence to be written, NOSYNC=1, Disable: the line does not have to be idle for the RAM
initialization sequence to be written.
The following discussion describes the function of this bit:
During initialization, after the CPU writes the Node ID, the COM20020I 3V will write "D1"h data to Address 000h and
Node-ID to Address 001h of its internal RAM within 6uS. These values are read as part of the diagnostic test. If the D1
and Node-ID initialization sequence cannot be read, the initialization routine will report it as a device diagnostic failure.
These writes are controlled by a micro-program which sometimes waits if the line is active; SYNC is the micro-program
command that causes the wait. When the micro-program waits, the initial RAM write does not occur, which causes the
diagnostic error. Thus in this case, if the line is not idle, the initialization sequence may not be written, which will be
reported as a device diagnostic failure.
However, the initialization sequence and diagnostics of the COM20020I 3V should be independent of the network
status. This is accomplished through some additional logic to decode the program counter, enabled by the NOSYNC
bit. When it finds that the micro-program is in the initialization routine, it disables the SYNC command. In this case,
the initialization will not be held up by the line status.
Thus, by setting the NOSYNC bit, the line does not have to be idle for the RAM initialization sequence to be written.
EF Bit
The EF bit controls several modifications to internal operation timing and logic. It is defined as follows:
EF: Enable/Disable the new internal operation timing and logic refinements. EF=0: (Default) Disable the new internal
operation timing (the timing is the same as in the COM20020I Rev. B); EF=1: Enable the new internal operation timing.
The EF bit controls the following timing/logic refinements in the COM20020I 3V:
A) Extend Interrupt Disable Time
While the interrupt is active (nINTR pin=0), the interrupt is disabled by writing the Clear Tx/Rx interrupt and Clear Flag
command and by reading the Next-ID register. This minimum disable time is changed by the Data Rate. For
example, it is 200 nS at 2.5 Mbps and 100 nS at 5 Mbps. The 100 nS width will be too short to for the Interrupt to be
seen.
Setting the EF bit will change the minimum disable time to always be more than 200 nS even if the Data Rate is 5
Mbps . This is done by changing the clock which is supplied to the Interrupt Disable logic. The frequency of this clock
is always less than 20MHz even if the data rate is 5 Mbps.
B) Synchronize the Pre-Scalar Output
The Pre-Scalar is used to change the data rate. The output clock is selected by CKP3-1 bits in the Set-Up register. The
CKP3-1 bits are changed by writing the Set-Up register from outside the CPU. It's not synchronized between the CPU
and COM20020I 3V. Thus, changing the CKP3-1 timing does not synchronize with the internal clocks of Pre-Scalar,
and changing CKP3-1 may cause spike noise to appear on the output clock line.
Setting the EF bit will include flip-flops inserted between the Configuration register and Pre-Scalar for synchronizing
the CKP3-1 with Pre-Scalar’s internal clocks.

Never change the CKP3-1 when the data rate is over 5 Mbps. They must all be zero.
C) Shorten The Write Interval Time To The Command Register
The COM20020I 3V limits the write interval time for continuous writing to the Command register. The minimum interval
time is changed by the Data Rate. It's 100 nS at the 2.5 Mbps and 1.6 μS at the 156.25 Kbps. This 1.6 μS is very long
for CPU.
Setting the EF bit will change the clock source from OSCK clock (8 times frequency of data rate) to XTAL clock
is not changed by the data rate, such that the minimum interval time becomes 100 nS.
D) Eliminate The Write Prohibition Period For The Enable Tx/Rx Commands
which
The COM20020I 3V has a write prohibition period for writing the Enable Transmit/Receive Commands. This period is
started by the TA or RI bit (Status Reg.) returning to High. This prohibition period is caused by setting the TA/RI bit with
a pulse signal. It is 3.2 μS at 156.25 Kbps. This period may be a problem when using interrupt processing. The
interrupt occurrs when the RI bit returns to High. The CPU writes the next Enable Receive Command to the other page
immediately. In this case, the interval time between the interrupt and writing Command is shorter than 3.2 μS.
Setting the EF bit will cause the TA/RI bit to return to High upon release of the pulse signal for setting the TA/RI bit,
instead of at the start of the pulse. This is illustrated in Figure 29.

The EF bit also controls the resolution of the following issues from the COM20020I Rev. B:
A) Network MAP Generation
Tentative ID is used for generating the Network MAP, but it sometimes detects a non-existent node. Every time the
Tentative-ID register is written, the effect of the old Tentative-ID remains active for a while, which results in an incorrect
network map. It can be avoided by a carefully coded software routine, but this requires the programmer to have deep
knowledge of how the COM20020I 3V works. Duplicate-ID is mainly used for generating the Network MAP. This has
the same issue as Tentative-ID.
A minor logic change clears all the remaining effects of the old Tentative-ID and the old Duplicate-ID, when the
COM20020I 3V detects a write operation to Tentative-ID or Node-ID register. With this change, programmers can use
the Tentative-ID or Duplicate-ID for generating the network MAP without any issues. This change is Enabled/Disabled
by the EF bit.
B) Mask Register Reset
The Mask register is reset by a soft reset in the COM20020I 3V Rev. A, but is not reset in Rev. B. The Mask register is
related to the Status and Diagnostic register, so it should be reset by a soft reset. Otherwise, every time the soft reset
happens, the COM20020I 3V Rev. B generates an unnecessary interrupt since the status bits RI and TA are back to
one by the soft reset.
This is resolved by changing the logic to reset the Mask register both by the hard reset and by the soft reset. The soft
reset is activated by the Node-ID register going to 00h or by the RESET bit going to High in the Configuration register.
This solution is Enabled/Disabled by the EF bit.

Appendix C
Software Identification of the COM20020I 3V Rev D and Rev E
In order to properly write software to work with the COM20020I 3V Rev D and E it is necessary to be able to identify
the different revisions of the part.
To identify the COM20020I 3V Revision follow the following procedure:
1.
2.
Write 0x00 to Register-5
Read Register-5 Æ The value read from Register-5 must be 0x00.
3.
4.
Write 0xC0 to Register-5
Read Register-5*
* If the value read from Register-5 is 0x80 then the part is a COM20020I 3V Rev D
* If the value read from Register-5 is 0xC0 then the part is a COM20020I 3V Rev E
