December 1998 ML6673 Fast Ethernet/FDDI TP-PMD Transceiver GENERAL DESCRIPTION FEATURES The ML6673 is a complete monolithic transceiver for 125 Mbaud MLT-3 encoded data transmission over Category 5 unshielded twisted pair and shielded twisted pair cables. The ML6673 integrates the baseline restoration function defined in the TP-PMD standard. The adaptive equalizer in the ML6673 will accurately compensate for line losses exceeding the IEEE 802.3u limit of 100m of UTP. ■ Compliant with IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX) standard ■ Compliant with ANSI X3T12 FDDI over copper (TP-PMD) standard Integrated baseline wander correction circuit Transmitter converts NRZI ECL signals to MLT-3 current driven outputs Transmitter can be externally turned off (high impedence) for true quiet line The ML6673 receive section consists of an equalizing filter with a feedback loop for controlling effective line compensation. The feedback loop contains a filter and detection block for determining the proper control signal. The ML6673 also contains data comparators with precisely controlled slicing thresholds and an MLT-3 to NRZI translator. The ML6673 transmit section accepts ECL 100K compatible NRZ inputs and converts them to differential current mode MLT-3 signals. Transmit amplitude is controlled by a single external resistor. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Receiver includes adaptive equalizer and MLT-3 to NRZI decoder Operates over 100 meters of STP or category 5 UTP Twisted Pair Cable set by the IEEE 802.3u standards 32-pin PLCC and TQFP BLOCK DIAGRAM LPBK TXOFF TVCCA RTSET TVCCD RTSET1 RTSET2 TXIN+ TPOUT+ NRZI TO MLT-3 TXIN– TPOUT– BASELINE WANDER CORRECTION LINK STATUS SD+ SD– ADAPTIVE CONTROL RXOUT+ MUX RXOUT– RRSET1 TGNDA TGNDD TPIN+ ADAPTIVE EQUALIZER MLT-3 TO NRZI GND TPIN– RRSET2 RRSET RVCCA RVCCD CMREF 1 ML6673 PIN CONFIGURATION ML6673 32-Pin TQFP (H32-7) RGND N/C N/C TVCCA TGNDA 32 31 30 N/C CMREF 1 N/C N/C 2 RRSET2 N/C 3 TPIN– RVCCA 4 TPIN+ RXOUT– ML6673 32-Pin PCC (Q32) 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 RVCCD 6 28 RRSET2 TPIN– 2 23 TPOUT+ SD– 7 27 N/C TPIN+ 3 22 RTSET2 SD+ 8 26 N/C CMREF 4 21 RTSET1 N/C 9 25 RGND N/C 5 20 TVCCD TGNDD 10 24 N/C N/C 6 19 TXIN– LPBK 11 23 N/C RVCCA 7 18 TXIN+ TXOFF 12 22 TVCCA RXOUT– 8 17 N/C N/C 21 13 TGNDA TPOUT– RTSET2 TPOUT+ RTSET1 TVCCD TXIN– TXIN+ 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 TXOFF TPOUT– LPBK 24 TGNDD 1 N/C RRSET1 SD+ RRSET1 SD– 29 RVCCD 5 RXOUT+ RXOUT+ PIN DESCRIPTION NAME FUNCTION NAME FUNCTION TXIN+, TXIN– These differential ECL100K compatible inputs receive NRZI data from the PHY for transmission. Outputs from the NRZI-MLT3 state machine drive these differential current outputs. The transmitter filter/transformer module connects the media to these pins. This TTL input enables transmitterreceiver loopback internally when asserted low. When LPBK is asserted, signal detect is asserted. This TTL input forces the NRZI-MLT3 state machine to a high impedence state when asserted low and shuts off transmit bias current. An external 1% resistor connected between these pins controls the transmitter output current amplitude. IOUT = 64 x 1.25V/RTSET Separate analog and digital transmitter power supply pins help to isolate sensitive circuitry from noise generating digital functions. Both supplies are nominally +5 volts. TGNDA, TGNDD Analog and digital transmitter grounds provide separate return paths for clean and noisy signals. These differential ECL100K compatible outputs indicate the presence of a data signal with an amplitude exceeding a preset threshold. MLT-3 encoded data from the receiver filter/transformer module enters the receiver through these pins. Differential ECL100K compatible outputs provide NRZI encoded data to the PHY. Internal time constants controlling the equalizer’s transfer function are set by an external resistor connected across these pins. This pin provides a DC common mode reference point for the receiver inputs. Analog and digital supply pins are separated to isolate clean and noisy circuit functions. Both supplies are nominally +5 volts. Receiver ground.

ML6673 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The ML6673 MLT-3 transceiver is a physical media dependent transceiver that allows the transmission and reception of 125 Mbaud data over shielded twisted pair cable or category 5 unshielded twisted pair cable. It provides a standard Physical Media Dependent (PMD) interface compatible with many FDDI chip sets. The transmit section accepts NRZI data, converting it to a three level MLT-3 code and sending the information on a two pin current driven transmitter. The transmitted output passes through an external low pass filter and transformer before entering the connectors to the STP or UTP cable. The output amplitude of the transmitted signal is programmable through the external RTSET resistor. IOUT = 64 × 1.25V RTSET For 100BASE-TX UTP application, the transmit amplitude is 2VP-P differential achieved by setting RTSET = 2kΩ (1%). The receive section accepts MLT-3 coded data after passing through an isolation transformer and band limiting filter. Before the data can be converted from MLT3 back to NRZI, the adaptive equalizer is used to compensate for the amplitude and phase distortion incurred from the cable. The adaptive control section determines the signal amplitude (and therefore the cable length) and adjusts the equalizer accordingly. The receiver also includes the Baseline Wander correction circuitry. The circuit will compensate and track the DC baseline wander caused by DC imbalance of the received data. It will tolerate the test pattern as specified in the ANSI X3T12 TP-PMD specification. A parallel 10pF capacitor can be connected between TPIN+ and TPIN– to improve Bit Error Rate. The adaptive control block governs both the equalization level as well as the signal detection status. Signal detect is asserted when the equalizer control loop settles or when loop back is asserted. When the input signal is small, the equalization will be at its maximum. After the signal has been equalized, it passes into the MLT-3 to NRZI converter where it is converted back to NRZI and fed through the loopback multiplexer onto the RXOUT± pins. Figure 1 shows a timing diagram of NRZI data and the equivalent MLT-3 data. The MLT-3 data shows the output current IOUT for one side of the transmitter, either TPOUT+ or TPOUT–. The other transmit output pin will be the complement. Whenever there is a change in level in NRZI, MLT-3 will change levels too. The maximum fundamental frequency of MLT-3 is half of the maximum fundamental of NRZI. Figure 2 shows a typical gain vs frequency plot of the adaptive equalizer for 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 meter category 5 cable lengths.
