FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
SUPERNET 3 FEATURES UPDATE
SUPERNET 3 is a 208-pin CMOS integration of FDDI
MAC, PHY, Address Filter, and clock generation and
recovery functions. It is the third generation FDDI
offering from AMD which integrates the SUPERNET 2
family of chips into a single-chip solution. Refer to the
SUPERNET 2 data book (PID 15502C) for basic
feature descriptions.
The basic feature description for SUPERNET 3 is
provided in the SUPERNET 2 data book. The enhanced
features are as listed below:
The SUPERNET 3 is backward compatible to the
SUPERNET 2 Tag Mode of operation in which the
SUPERNET 3 buffer memory interface logic maintains
the buffer memory as multiple FIFOs.
The SUPERNET 3 provides DMA channels, arbitrates
access to the network buffer memory, and controls the
data path between the buffer memory and the medium.
The MAC also implements the timed-token protocol and
receive/transmit control as specified for the Media
Access Control (MAC) sublayer of the ISO standard
9314-2 for FDDI. The Physical Layer functions defined
by the ISO 9314-1 are performed by the SUPERNET 3.
SUPERNET 3 implements on-chip digital clock
recovery and transmit functions for fiber. To support
copper media, the PHY-PMD interface is maintained
and an external module can be implemented in
the same footprint as the fiber optic transceiver to
perform the MLT-3 encoding/decoding and equalization. SUPERNET 3 integrates the scrambler and
descrambler functions for transmissions over
copper media.
■ This is a CMOS integration of the redesigned
FORMAC Plus, an enhanced PLC, a 32-entry
address filter (AF, which is based on a Content
Addressable Memory, or CAM, core), and a CMOS
PDX core for clock and data recovery.
■ A 32-entry, extensible and fully maskable AF
allows additional individual and group addresses to
be supported.
■ The physical data transmitter and receiver (PDX)
circuits are also embedded on-chip using
proprietary digital clock-recovery technology.
■ For the purposes of implementing copper PMD,
the scrambler/descrambler functions are
embedded within the chip.
■ The Buffer Memory interface has been modified to
support slower SRAM’s (35 ns) without affecting
backward compatibility with SUPERNET 2.
■ SUPERNET 3 supports the FDDI single
attachment station (SAS) but is capable of
supporting a dual attachment station (DAS)

default value on reset.
■ SUPERNET 3 has a Test Access Port and
■ The A, C indicator setting has been modified. It is
Boundary Scan Architecture, IEEE1149.1.
■ SUPERNET 3 provides Built-in Self Test (BIST)
features for the Address Filter, and PLC-S.
■ All registers are readable and writable by the Node
Processor. All reserved bits shall be read back as
zero except where noted.
■ The Receive Status (RS) pins are expanded from
5 to 6 pins to support enhanced status reporting.
■ The Transmit Status (XS) pins are expanded from
3 to 4 pins to support enhanced status reporting.
■ Enhanced frame reception is possible by splitting
the receive queue.
now possible to control the setting of the A, C
indicators independent of the mode of operation
(online, online special mode, and external
loopback mode).
■ Maskable ‘vectored-interrupts’ are provided. It is
now possible to detect the event causing the
interrupt in the SUPERNET 3 in two cycles by
reading the vector register which gives the vector
of the status register followed by a read of the
appropriate status register.
■ An additional mode register (MDREG3) is
provided. Setting the bits in this mode register
enables the additional SUPERNET 3 features.
■ Modified TAG Mode of operation for easy
conversion from NON-TAG SUPERNET 2 to
SUPERNET 3.

PIN DESCRIPTION
RXAFL3–0
I/O pins can only be high impedance in Test Access Port
(TAP) operation. Refer to TAP Testability section.
Receive Bus Tap for External AF (TTL output, TTL
input, high impedance)
PHY/PMD Interface (46 Pins)
RX+, RX-
The internal MAC Receive bus lines lower nibble are
tapped and brought out as the RXAFL 3–0 pins. These
pins are used by an external AF to do external SA and/or
DA match.
Receive Data (PECL Input)
Note: The RXAFL[3:0] input pins are for diagnostic
purposes only.
These pins receive differential NRZI data.
TX+, TX-
RXAFCU
Transmit Data (PECL Output)
These transmit outputs carry differential NRZI data.
They can be forced to logical 0 (TX+ LOW, TX- HIGH) by
asserting the FOTOFF input.
RCU
Receive Control Upper (TTL input)
RCU is asserted high to indicate that the upper nibble of
the R bus (R7–4) is a network control character. When
RCU is low, this nibble contains data. RCU is synchronous to BCLK. This pin has internal pull-up.
RCL
Receive Control Lower (TTL input)
RCL is asserted high to indicate that the lower nibble of
the R bus (R3–0) is a network control character. When
RCL is low, this nibble contains data. RCL is synchronous to BCLK. This pin has internal pull-up.
R7–0
Control Upper for AF Receive Bus (TTL output,
high impedance)
The RXAFCU output signal is used to flag control
symbols being presented on the nibble (3:0) of the
RXAFU bus. This signal is synchronous to BCLK. If
RXAFCU is asserted high, the nibble on the RXAFU bus
is interpreted as a network control character. Otherwise,
it is interpreted as a data nibble.
RXAFCL
Control Lower for AF Receive Bus (TTL output,
TTL input, high impedance)
The RXAFCL output signal is used to flag control
symbols being presented on the nibble (3:0) of the
RXAFL bus. This signal is synchronous to BCLK. If
RXAFCL is asserted high, the nibble on the RXAFL bus
is interpreted as a network control character. Otherwise,
it is interpreted as a data nibble.
Note: The RXAFCL
purposes only.
Receive Bus (TTL input)
The R bus is used to receive information from the
external physical layer (PHY) device. Bytes clocked
from the physical layer (PHY) into the SUPERNET 3
R-bus input are synchronous to the BCLK. These pins
have internal pull-up.
RPAR
Receive parity (TTL input)
RPAR is an input signal used to enhance error detection
on the external PHY interface R7:0 bus. RPAR is an
input signal used to implement even parity checking on
R bus. If there is an odd number of 1’s on {R7:0, RCU,
RCL}, then RPAR should be 1 and if there is an even
number of 1’s on {R7:0, RCU, RCL} then RPAR should
be 0. This pin has internal pull-up.
RXAFU3–0
Receive Bus Tap for External AF (TTL output, high
impedance)
The internal MAC Receive bus lines upper nibble are
tapped and brought out as the RXAFU 3–0 pins. These
pins are used by an external AF to do external SA and/or
DA match.

X7–0
Transmit Bus (TTL output, high impedance)
This eight-bit output bus is used to send control and data
information to the external physical layer (PHY) device
to be transmitted over the medium. Information on the
X-bus output is synchronous to the BCLK.
XPAR
Transmit parity (TTL output, high impedance)
XPAR is an output signal used to enhance error
detection on the MAC—external PHY interface X7:0
bus. If there is an odd number of 1’s on {X7:0, XCU,
XCL}, then XPAR should be 1 and if there is an even
number of 1’s on {X7:0, XCU, XCL} then XPAR should
be 0.
XCU
Transmit Control Upper (TTL output, high
impedance)
The XCU output signal is used to flag control symbols
being presented on the upper nibble of the transmit bus.
This signal is synchronous to BCLK. If XCU is asserted
SUPERNET 3

high, the upper nibble of the X-bus is interpreted as a
network control character. Otherwise, it is interpreted as
a data nibble.
EBFERR
XCL
EBFERR indicates when an overflow or underflow
condition occurs in the Elasticity Buffer.
Transmit Control Lower (TTL output, high
impedance)
Elasticity Buffer Error (TTL Output, Active High,
high impedance)
ENCOFF
The XCL output signal is used to flag control symbols
being presented on the lower nibble of the transmit bus.
This signal is synchronous to BCLK. If XCL is asserted
high, the lower nibble of the X-bus is interpreted as a
network control character. Otherwise, it is interpreted as
a data nibble.
Encoder Off (TTL Input, Active High)
FOTOFF
The ULSB signal directly outputs the UNKN_LINE_ST
bit of the PLC_STATUS_A register to ring test and
monitor equipment.
Fiber Optic Transmitter Off (TTL Output, Active
Low, high impedance)
ENCOFF signal turns off the 4B/5B encoding and
decoding function of the PLC core.
ULSB
Unknown Line State (TTL Output, high impedance)
The FOTOFF signal, when asserted, causes the optical
transmitter to turn off.
Clock Pins (3 Pins)
LSCLK
SDI+, SDI-
Local Symbol Clock pin (TTL input)
Signal Detect (PECL Differential Line Receiver
Inputs)
The LSCLK is a 25 MHz clock. It is used by the
PLC core.
The SDI input signal pair is from the optical or copper
transceivers to indicate whether the received optical or
electrical signal is above its threshold. The inverted
value of this signal is held in the PHY_STATUS_A
register, and the LSDO interrupt bit in the PHY is set
whenever SDI becomes asserted.
BCLK
Byte Clock pin (TTL input)
The BCLK is a 12.5 MHz clock. It is used by the PLC and
the MAC cores.
BMCLK
SCRM
Buffer Memory Clock pin (TTL input)
Scrambler/Descrambler enable (DC Input,
Active High)
The BMCLK is the clock signal that the MAC core uses
for generating the signals to the buffer memory. BMCLK
is driven with either a 12.5 or 25 MHz clock signal. If
12.5 MHz operation is desired, then this pin can be tied
to BCLK pin. If 25 MHz operation is desired, then this pin
can be tied to LSCLK pin.
When this pin is strapped high, the SUPERNET 3 is set
to operate with a copper PMD and the scrambler/
descrambler is enabled. When the pin is strapped to
ground, then the scrambler/descrambler function is
disabled in the SUPERNET 3, and the SUPERNET 3 is
set to operate with a fiber PMD. This pin is ORed with
the bit 0 (CIPHER_ENABLE) in the PLC_CNTRL_C
register and the result is indicated in the same bit (bit 0).
The PMD selection and scrambler/descrambler (S/D)
enabling is as follows:

Node Processor (NP) Interface
(35 Pins)
Chip Select Input (TTL input, active low)
– Asynchronous when NPMODE = 0
– Synchronous when NPMODE = 1
The Chip Select Input (active low) enables Read and
Write operations to the SUPERNET 3. In the asynchronous mode, the data output is enabled while CSI and DS
are both low and R/W is high. In the synchronous mode,
the data output is enabled while CSI is low and R/W
is high.

PRELIMINARY
AMD
DS
READY
Data Strobe/ (TTL input, active low)
Ready (TTL output, open drain, active low, high

– Asynchronous when NPMODE = 0
– Synchronous when NPMODE = 1
The DS input (active low) is used in the handshake
between the NP and SUPERNET 3 when the
SUPERNET 3 acts as bus slave during register
accesses. In the asynchronous mode, this input signal is
set by the node processor to transfer data between the
NP and the SUPERNET 3. The direction of the data
transfer is dictated by the logic level of the R/W line. The
NP sets DS low to initiate a data transfer. DS is not used
in the synchronous mode. The chip-select input (CSI)
must be low while DS is low in order to start an NP
bus transaction.
NPADDR7–0
NP Address Bus (TTL input)
The NPADDR7–0 input lines allow direct access to
SUPERNET 3 internal registers. In addition, these
lines are used to place SUPERNET 3 into different
operating states.
The NPADDR bus of the SUPERNET 3 performs two
control functions. First, the input on NPADDR7–0 acts
as an address, selecting the proper internal register for a
read or write operation that is controlled by the R/W pin.
The data is either read onto or loaded from the 16-bit
NP bus. For a discussion of the results of read and load
instructions, see the section under Programming
the FORMAC Plus in the SUPERNET 2 data book.
Second, instructions or commands can be issued to
SUPERNET 3 by using the NPADDR bus.
NPDATA15–0
NP Data Bus (TTL input, TTL output, high
impedance)
The NP data bus is a 16-bit wide bidirectional data bus
used to interface the SUPERNET 3 to the node
processor. Data transfer on the NP data bus can be
synchronous or asynchronous depending upon the
setting of the NPMODE pin. For asynchronous operation, a two-wire handshake is provided through the
READY and data-strobe (DS) lines.
In asynchronous mode, the READY output (active low)
is used in the handshake between the NP and
SUPERNET 3. The SUPERNET 3 READY output
provides an asynchronous acknowledgment to the NP
that data transfer is complete. The SUPERNET 3
asserts READY when it has put the data onto the NP bus
during a read cycle, or when it has taken the data from
the NP bus during a write cycle. READY is a response to
the CSI and DS inputs, and returns high after the CSI or
DS signals go high.
In the synchronous mode, the READY line goes active
on the BCLK edge when CSI and DS are active. READY
goes inactive on the following BCLK edge. In the case of
loading/reading of the MDR (memory data register),
READY goes active on the BCLK edge after the
completion of any pending data transfer from/to
buffer memory.
R/W
Read/Write Select (TTL input)
The R/W line is used to select the type of access (i.e.,
read or write) between the SUPERNET 3 and the NP. If
R/W is high, data is read from the SUPERNET 3 to the
NP. If R/W is low, the data flow is from the NP to the
SUPERNET 3.
MINTR1
Maskable Interrupt 1 (TTL output, open drain, high
impedance)
The MINTR1 output (active low) is an attention line to
the NP. MINTR1, when active, indicates an interrupt due
to one or more unmasked flags in status register 1. In
general, the active state of MINTR1 indicates that an
unmasked interrupt condition or a transmit condition has
occurred. MINTR1 is deactivated once either the lower
or upper 16 bits of status register 1 (ST1L or ST1U) are
read. Once MINTR1 is asserted, all 32 bits of status
register 1 must be read to enable any future interrupt on
this pin.
MINTR2
NP Bus Mode (TTL input)
Maskable Interrupt 2 (TTL output, open drain, high
impedance)
The level on the NPMODE pin defines the type of
NP-bus interface with the SUPERNET 3. When
NPMODE is strapped high, the NP interface operates
synchronously with BCLK. When NPMODE is strapped
low, asynchronous interface operation is selected.
The MINTR2 output (active low) is an attention line to
the NP. MINTR2, when active, indicates an interrupt due
to one or more unmasked flags in status register 2. In
general, the active state of MINTR2 indicates that an
unmasked interrupt condition, a receive condition, or a
NPMODE
SUPERNET 3
13
AMD
PRELIMINARY
change in ring status has occurred. MINTR2 is deactivated once either the lower or upper 16 bits of status
register 2 (ST2L or ST2U) are read. Once MINTR2 is
asserted, all 32 bits of status register 2 must be read in
order to enable any future interrupt on this pin.
MINTR3
Maskable Interrupt 3 (TTL output, open drain, high
impedance)
The MINTR3 output (active low) is an attention line to
the NP. MINTR3, when active, indicates an interrupt due
to one or more unmasked flags in status register 3. In
general, the active state of MINTR3 indicates that an
unmasked interrupt condition, a receive condition in the
second receive queue has occurred. MINTR3 is deactivated once either the lower or upper 16 bits of status
register 3 (ST3L or ST3U) are read. Once MINTR3 is
asserted, all 32 bits of status register 3 must be read in
order to enable any future interrupt on this pin.
MINTR4
Maskable Interrupt 4 (TTL output, open drain, high
impedance)
The MINTR4 output (active low) is an attention line to
the NP. MINTR4, when active, indicates an interrupt due
to one or more unmasked flags in the PHY interrupt
event (INTR_EVENT) register. In general, the active
state of MINTR4 indicates that a change in PCM state
machine or timer expiration or counter overflow has
occurred. MINTR4 remains active until cleared by
reading the INTR_EVENT register.
When the MENSNGLINT (MDREG 3, bit 10) is set, the
SUPERNET 3 generates only one interrupt (MINTR4)
and the other interrupt lines (MINTR1, MINTR2, and
MINTR3) are not toggled. The SUPERNET 3 operates
in a vectored interrupt mode, i.e., a vector register is
read to determine which status register is the source of
the interrupt.
SUPERNET 3/Buffer Memory Interface
(56 Pins)
ADDR15–0
Buffer Memory Address (TTL output, high
impedance)
The 16-bit ADDR-bus provides the addresses that
access the buffer memory. The address selection
depends on the result of bus arbitration in the
SUPERNET 3. Each memory access lasts for two
BMCLK clock cycles and the address is valid for both of
these cycles. When buffer memory control has been
released to the NP, the ADDR bus is in the high-impedance state.
Note: As long as the use of the buffer memory has not
been granted to the node processor or host (HSACK
and NPMEMACK not active), the SUPERNET 3 may
drive the address lines even though no control signals
are active.
BD31–0
Buffer Memory Data Bus (TTL input, output, high
impedance)
The 32-bit BD bus interfaces the SUPERNET 3 to the
buffer memory or any external logic using this bus.
These lines transfer data to and from the buffer memory
for the SUPERNET 3. These signals are synchronous
to BMCLK.
BDP3–0
Buffer Data Parity Bus (TTL input, output, high
impedance)
The BDP3–0 bus contains the four byte-parity lines for
the BD bus as shown in the following table:
BD-Bus Lines
Corresponding
Parity Lines
BD7–0 and tag bit
BDP0
NPMEMRQ
BD15–8
BDP1
Node Processor Memory Request (TTL input)
BD23–16
BDP2
The input signal NPMEMRQ is a request by the node
processor to obtain control of buffer memory.
BD31–24
BDP3
NPMEMACK
Node Processor Memory Access Acknowledge
(TTL output, high impedance)
This signal indicates that an NPMEMRQ has been
granted and that the NP now has control of buffer
memory (ADDR-bus, RD, WR, CSO, BDP, BD, and
BDTAG). If NPMEMACK is forced low while
NPMEMRQ is active (due to a higher priority request),
the NP must release control of the bus within
two BMCLK periods after the NPMEMACK line
goes inactive.
14
Note: BD bus parity can be either even or odd, based on
the state of the parity bit (bit 12) in mode register
2 (MDREG2).
BDTAG
Buffer Data Tag Indication (TTL input, output, high
impedance)
In receive mode, this bit defines whether the information
on the BD bus is data (BDTAG = 0) or frame status
(BDTAG = 1). In transmit mode, when BDTAG = 1, it
indicates that the end of a frame has been reached, as
indicated by the presence of a tag bit in both the last long
SUPERNET 3

word and the descriptor word at the end of the frame. In
transmit mode, when BDTAG = 0, it indicates that the
information on the BD bus is data, i.e., end-of-frame not
yet reached.

The chip-select output (active low) is a select signal for

is released to the NP.
RD
Buffer Memory Read (TTL output, high

This output signal (active low) controls the buffer
memory during a buffer-memory read accesses. This
line is in the high-impedance state when buffer memory
control is released to the NP.
WR
Buffer Memory Write (TTL output, high

This (active low) output signal, in its active-low state,
allows write accesses to buffer memory. This line is in
the high-impedance state when buffer memory control
is released to the NP.
Host/Buffer Memory Interface (10 Pins)
All these signals are synchronous to BMCLK.

Note: * Only if two receive queue operation is selected

QCTRL2–0
Buffer Queue Control (TTL output, high
impedance)
The QCTRL2–0 status output lines are encoded as described in the following table.
HSACK
Host Acknowledge (TTL output, high impedance)
This signal indicates that the current host read/write
request is being granted by SUPERNET 3 and allows
read/write accesses of buffer memory by the host.
HSREQ2–0
Host Request Bus (TTL input)
The host request bus specifies to SUPERNET 3 the type
of buffer memory access the host requires, as described
in the following table.
Special-frame write requests are used to set up claim,
beacon, and auto-void frames in the buffer memory (see
the discussion under Buffer Memory Operation in
SUPERNET 2 data book). These requests make use of
the WPXSF register to set up special frames in the
special-frame area.
Read request is used to retrieve received frames from
buffer memory and store them in the system memory.
Write requests are used to set up frames in buffer
memory for transmission.

This signal indicates that received data is present in the

These signals communicate to the host the current
condition of the transmit queues. This provides useful
information for doing the host interface. The meaning of
these states are as follows:
A. QCTRL[2:0] = 000
The quiescent state exists when SUPERNET 3 is
neither transmitting nor receiving. This state is also true
while loading a transmit queue (making a write request
to a queue) and not yet unloading it, and when there is
space in the queue for more data.
B. QCTRL[2:0] = 001, 010 or 011
These states indicate unloading frame from the Synchronous Queue, Asynchronous Queue 0 or Asynchronous Queue 1, respectively. They are valid as long as
the corresponding queue is not yet in the almost full or
full state and, at the same time, the SUPERNET 3 is
reading out of the queue. The host can transfer more
data into the corresponding queue when any of these
states is present. These three combinations may
appear one BMCLK period later than the time indicated
in the timing diagram.
C. QCTRL[2:0] = 101
This state is present when all of the following three
conditions are satisfied:
1. The host has issued a write request for this queue
2. Transmit FIFO underrun occurs
3. Transmit buffer-memory underrun occurs for
this queue
D. QCTRL[2:0] = 110
RDATA2
Receive Data for Receive Queue #2
(TTL output, high impedance)
This signal indicates that received data is present in the

to system memory. Read requests are not acknowledged when RDATA2 is inactive.
Special Functions and Control Pins
(16 Pins)
FLXI
Flush/Inhibit (TTL input)
The SUPERNET 3 FLXI pin can be programmed to
perform either of two functions: it can provide a flush
received frame function for the chip or it can provide an
unconditional transmit-inhibit function.
If the FLUSH function is selected and the pin is asserted
by external logic, then the incoming frame is flushed.
The buffer memory pointers are not advanced from
where they were before the frame was received. This
prevents unwanted frames and fragments from occupying receive buffer space and taking up the buffer
memory bus bandwidth.
If the TRANSMIT INHIBIT function is selected and the
pin is asserted by external logic, then the SUPERNET 3
completes transmitting the current frame (if transmitting) releases the token and no further transmissions
can occur until the pin is deasserted. During the time
that the TRANSMIT INHIBIT function is enabled, the
network timers and state machines operate normally.
When the transmit queue being requested is full, this
state is presented at the queue control signals. Note that

asserted for at least twenty BCLK cycles. When it is
deasserted the SUPERNET 3 is ready to begin normal
operation only after 750 LSCLK cycles. The 750 LSCLK
cycles are needed for calibration of the PDX core.
Assertion and deassertion are asynchronous. A warm
reset (assertion of RST after the device is in operation)
will cause device outputs to be unpredictable until the
device is initialized.

■ SUPERNET 3 supports three transmit queues:
Synchronous, Async0 and Async1. Async2 is no
longer supported.
■ The ‘Disable Carry’ (DISCRY) function is no
longer supported. Setting of the DISCRY bit in
the mode register 1 (MDREG1: bit 6) allowed
segmenting of the TRT, THT, TVX, and TMSYNC
registers into 4 and 5 bits each for diagnostic
purposes. This is no longer necessary due to the
testability enhancements.

Transmit Queues
ASYNC2 Transmit Queue Not Supported
The SUPERNET 3 supports SYNCHRONOUS, and two
ASYNCHRONOUS priorities. The ASYNC2 queue is no
longer supported. This causes the following changes:
1. TPRI2 (16-bit priority register for asynchronous
queue 2) is no longer implemented.
2. EAA2, WPXA2, SWPXA2, RPXA2 registers are no
longer implemented.
3. The ‘Clear Asynchronous Queue 2 Lock’ and
‘Transmit Asynchronous Queue 2’ commands are
no longer available in the command registers 1 and
2, respectively. The value 0x18 in command register
1 and 0x08 in command register 2 shall not be
decoded to any other instruction. These values are
reserved.
4. The STEFRMA2, STECFRMA2 and STXABRA2
bits in the upper 16 bits of the status register 1
(ST1U) are reserved and set to zero. Similarly
SQLCK2, STXINFLA2, SPCEPDA2, and STBURA2
are reserved and set to zero.
5. The QCTRL[2:0] = 100 encoding is now invalid. This
encoding indicated ‘Request transfer into
Asynchronous Queue 2’ which is no longer
available. The encoding is reserved and shall not be
used to indicate any other QCTRL condition. (See
NOTE)
6. The HSREQ[2:0] = 111 is now decoded as “Write
Request: Asynchronous Queue 1”. In FORMAC+
this request indicated a write request to
asynchronous queue 2 which is no longer available.
encoding to indicate status of Asynchronous Queue, but
instead the QCTRL[2:0] = 011 (“Request transfer into
Asynchronous Queue 1”) encoding would be indicated
by SUPERNET 3 and external logic could be added to
invert this encoding to be compatible with FORMAC+.
AFULL Encoding of QCTRL Signals Modified
The QCTRL2–0 pins provide the encoded status of the
buffer memory transmit queues. The value QCTRL[2:0]
= 111, ‘Current queue almost full’, was asserted for one
host write cycle in SUPERNET 2. This signal shall now
be generated for every host write cycle until the queue
becomes full or the almost full threshold is no
longer exceeded.
This new signal assertion is implemented only if the bit
MENAFULL is set in mode register 3 (MDREG3)
Transmit Frame Format
In SUPERNET 2 transmit frames must consist of
aligned data, i.e. all words in the buffer memory must
contain four valid bytes, except that the last data word
may consist of less than four bytes. This required that
the Frame Control (FC) of the frame be written as the
most significant byte of the frame data long word.
SUPERNET 3 would support an enhanced feature,
where in the Frame Control (FC) could be any byte of the
frame data long word. The Destination Address (DA)
would follow the FC as the next byte in any mode of
operation. This feature is enabled only when the bits
MENFCLOC (bit 12 & 13) is set in mode register 3
(MDREG3). Upon reset these bits would be both zero
and the Frame Control (FC) has to be written as the
most significant byte of the frame data long word. The
following table describes the decoding of the
MENFCLOC bits in the mode register 3 (MDREG 3):
Note: If the encoding HSREQ[2:0] = 111 is used, the
SUPERNET 3 would not use the QCTRL[2:0] = 100

Non-Tag Mode of Operation No Longer
Supported
The SUPERNET 3 only supports the tag mode of
operation for transmit and receive. The non-tag mode of
operation is no longer supported. All functionality
related to the non-tag mode of operation is removed.
This causes the following changes:
1. Bits [7:4] in status register 1 upper (ST1U), indicating
‘Transmit End of Chain of Frames’ (STECFRM-S,
A0, A1, A2) are now reserved. They shall be read as
zero.
2. Bits [7:4] in status register 1 lower (ST1L), indicating
‘Transmit Instruction Full’ (STXINFL-S, A0, A1, A2)
are now reserved. They shall be read as zero.
3. In Command register 2, the commands ‘Transmit
Synchronous
Queue’
[0x01],
‘Transmit
Asynchronous Queue 0’ [0x02], and ‘Transmit
Asynchronous Queue 2’ [0x08] are now reserved.
These values shall not be decoded to any other
instruction.
4. Bit 15 in mode register 2 (MDREG2) indicating
Buffer Memory Mode is now decoded differently.
This bit shall be read as one upon reset, indicating
TAG mode of operation. If programmed to zero, the
modified TAG mode of operation will be enabled.
This bit selection applies to both receive queues if
MENDRCV bit is set in mode register 3 (MDREG 3).
Modified TAG Mode Operation
The SUPERNET 3 will have two modes of host interface
to buffer memory. The two modes are distinct and
independent ways of accessing the buffer memory
depending upon the selection of the TAG mode or
modified TAG mode. In TAG mode the SUPERNET 3
provides the local buffer management, i.e the queue
pointers are maintained by SUPERNET 3. Modified
TAG mode is used when the NON-TAG mode users of
FORMAC+ are redesigning for SUPERNET 3. Loading
24
of transmit frames in modified TAG is identical to TAG
mode. The unloading of received frames is different in
Modified TAG mode of operation. The format of a
receive frame is as shown Figure 1. The first long word
in each frame consists of a 16-bit status word and a
16-bit word that gives the length of the frame in bytes.
The status/length word is followed by the data words.
The location of the first byte in the first long word of data
is defined by the byte boundary bits RXFBB1–0 of mode
register (MDREG 2). At the end of the frames that make
up a receive queue, SUPERNET 3 writes a long word
with all bits as a logic 0, which indicates that there is no
more data in this queue. The only function of this word is
to act as an end delimiter. Note that the MSVALID bit in
bit 31 of the status word at the start of the frame is
always in the logic 1 state. Also, when another frame
follows this queue, it overwrites the end delimiter word
with the receive status word of the new frame. After each
frame has been written into buffer memory, SUPERNET
3 write the status and frame length at the start of each
frame, and places an end-indicator word of all 0’s at the
end of the queue. Once a frame is completely received,
the status bit SRCOMP in status register 2 (ST2U) is
set. If the received frame is aborted, the SUPERNET 3
will write the status word indicating the aborted status
(bit 30) and the length field bits will be all zero. If the
receive queue has an overflow condition during frame
reception, the status register bit indicating SRCVOVR in
status register 2 (ST2U bit 11), is set high and the frame
is aborted. An overflow also sets the MSRABT bit (bit
30) in the receive frame status word of the incomplete
frame. The received frames are unloaded by the host
from the buffer memory by using the host request pins
(HSREQ). The RDATA signal is always in the 0 state
and receive frame threshold (RTHR) is not applicable in
modified TAG mode for asserting the RDATA pin. If dual
receive queue operation is selected (MENDRCV, bit 11
in MDREG 3) then the receive status information would
be indicated in the corresponding status register (ST2U
for RECV1 and ST3U for RECV2).

Transmit Command
The SUPERNET 3 provides a feature to control
transmission of frames from ASYNC1 queue in both
TAG and Modified TAG modes. This feature can be
enabled by programming the MENTRCMD (bit 14) in
mode register 3 (MDREG3). This feature, when enabled, would wait for the “Transmit Asynchronous
Queue1” command. This feature would be applicable
only to ASYNC1 queue. The SUPERNET 3 has to be in
initialize mode to enable the transmit command feature.
Once this is enabled the SUPERNET 3 will not transmit
from ASYNC1 queue unless a command in given by
the Node Processor. To disable this feature, the
SUPERNET 3 has to be in initialize or memory active
mode. The read pointer (RPXA1), write pointer
(WPXA1) and shadow write pointer (SWPXA1) are
under the control of the user. The frames to be
transmitted could be loaded by the host into the buffer
memory either by using the host request pins, or by
using NPDMA pins or by using the MARW and
MDR registers.
When using the host request pins, the SUPERNET 3
responds to the host request as in any mode, except that
the transmit threshold register value would be ignored.
IFPC would not monitor the frames being loaded into
buffer memory for memory full condition, buffer empty
condition etc. After the last data word and descriptor are
written to complete the frame, transmit command can be
issued to start transmission.
When NPMEMRQ pin is used by the NP the address
bus and memory control signal lines are placed in the
high-impedance state by the SUPERNET 3. This gives
the NP free access to load the buffer memory, however,
the frames must conform to the format defined. The NP
is also responsible in keeping track of Async 1 pointers
(WPXA1, RPXA1, LTDPA1) prior to issuing the
transmit command.
When the NP uses the MARW and MDR to load the
buffer memory, it first loads the MARW with the starting
26
address of the frame. Then the MDRU is loaded from the
NP, followed by the MDRL. As soon as the second 16-bit
data word is loaded, SUPERNET 3 sets an internal
request to move the contents of the MDR to the buffer
memory. The MARW is incremented after the write
operation is completed. The NP could use the set tag
command in CMDREG2 to set the tag bit for the MDR
write cycle, however, the tag bit command is valid for
one NP write operation only.
After the complete frame(s) have been loaded for
transmission, the NP has to program the last transmit
descriptor pointer (LTDPA1) to be equal to the address
of the last descriptor written. Also, the ASYNC1 queue
(WPXA1) write pointer needs to be programmed to
LTDPA1 + 1. The SUPERNET 3 would assume that the
read pointer is at the correct address. The NP should
then give an instruction to SUPERNET 3 to transmit the
ASYNC1 queue. The SUPERNET 3 would transmit till
the read pointer (RPXA1) equals the last transmit
descriptor pointer (LTDPA1). The user could load
multiple frames before issuing the command. The NP
cannot issue more than one transmit command until the
SUPERNET 3 indicates the “End of transmit command”
status (STECMDA1) in status register 1 - upper (ST1U).
TDAT Loopback
The SUPERNET 3 provides a feature to control the
loopback of transmit datapath after the PLC (TDAT)
back to the receive data path of the PLC (RDAT). This
loopback path is enabled when MDREG3, bit 15
(MENTDLPBK) bit is set to logic “1”.
Mode Register 3 (MDREG3)
An additional 16-bit mode register 3 is provided. The
new features and modifications are enabled by the
setting of the bits in the MDREG3. By default, the
register bits are reset to zero. This register can only be
written when the SUPERNET 3 is in Initialize or Memory
Active modes.

Interrupts
There are four interrupts: two for the MAC, one for the
MAC/BIST, and one for the PHY. The two interrupts for
the MAC ensure that the interrupt service routine (ISR)
does not have to perform two reads to determine which
of the status registers generated the interrupt. The third
interrupt is generated when the BIST operations are
complete or when the second receive queue has
changes in its status. The fourth interrupt indicates the
status of the PHY.
Interrupt Mechanisms
SCALAR: There are four interrupts, two from MAC, one
from MAC and BIST, and one from PHY. These
interrupts can be tied together externally or serviced
separately. This method is the default and is backwards
compatible with the SUPERNET 2 interrupt generation
and servicing mechanisms.
VECTORED: Only one interrupt is monitored
(MINTR4), and upon an interrupt being generated, a
16-bit maskable Interrupt Vector Register (IVR) is read.
Each bit in the vector register indicates the source of the
interrupt. The vector register bits are:
Bits

bit 7–15
Reserved. Shall be read as zero.
This method of interrupt generation and processing can
be enabled by setting the MENSGLINT (bit 10) in the
mode register 3 (MDREG3). If enabled, this mechanism
requires the user to read the Interrupt Vector Register
(IVR), locate the bit which is set, and read the
corresponding interrupt event or status register. Each
bit in the IVR is maskable. The interrupts can be
unmasked by setting the corresponding bit in the
Interrupt Mask Register (IMR). By default, all bits in the
IMR are reset (to zero) and all interrupts are masked.
The mask register bits are:

Once MINTR4 is activated, the corresponding status or

Receive Flush/Transmit Inhibit pin
FLXI (input)
The HOFLXI pin is now the FLXI pin and the HOLD
function is no longer supported. The functional timing for
this pin is as specified in the SUPERNET 2 data book.
If the FLUSH function is selected and the pin is asserted
by external logic, then the incoming frame is flushed.
The buffer memory pointers are not advanced from
where they were before the frame was received (i.e.
WPR = SWPR). The receive flush pin is asserted by the
host to flush the current frame being received based on
an external criterion regardless of the address match.
This prevents unwanted frames and fragments from
occupying receive buffer space and taking up the buffer
memory bus bandwidth. If receive threshold is non-zero,
then the frame will be flushed only if the pin is asserted
before the threshold is crossed. Refer to timing diagram
for details.
If the TRANSMIT INHIBIT function is selected and
the pin is asserted by external logic, then the
SUPERNET 3 completes transmitting the current frame
SUPERNET 3
PRELIMINARY
(if transmitting), releases the token, and no further
transmissions can occur until the pin is deasserted.
During the time that the TRANSMIT INHIBIT function is
enabled the network timers and state machines
operate normally.
As a result of the change to the FLXI pin, which of the
two functions is selected depends upon the state of FLXI
bits, as follows:

Single Frame Receive Mode
The Single Frame Receive Mode function has been
removed from the SUPERNET 3. All associated status,
modes and commands are deleted and replaced with
reserved. This causes the following changes:
1. Status Register 2 Upper:
The ‘Receive Frame’ (SRCVFRM) bit 10 and
‘Receive Frame Counter Overflow’ (SRFRCTOV) bit
9 are now reserved and return a value of zero when
read.
SUPERNET 3 provides a new feature where the user
can configure the buffer memory for incoming valid
frame into two separate receive queues. The type of
frames that each queue would receive is selected in a
separate register, the Frame Selection Register
(FRSELREG). To enable two receive queues operation,
MENDRCV bit in Mode Register 3 (MDREG3) needs to
be set. If this bit is cleared, which is the case at the time
of reset, then SUPERNET 3 behaves like F+ (i.e only
one receive queue is supported, and SUPERNET 3
defaults to Receive Queue 1). If MDREG3 bit 11,
MENDRCV and both RECVX3:0 in Frame Selection
Register (FRSELREG) is programmed to be “0000”
then the SUPERNET 3 would behave like FORMAC+
and the second queue is ignored. However, if one of the
RECVX3:0 bits in FRSELREG are programmed to be
“0000” then the corresponding queue would receive all
frames except the frame type selected for the other
queue. Only the second receive queue (i.e. RECV2) can
be programmed to be “0000”. Programming the RECV1
bits in the Frame Selection Register (FRSELREG) with
“0000” and RECV2 bits with a non-zero selection, will
result in no data being written in the RECV1 queue. Only
the frame type selected by RECV2 bits will be received
in the second queue.

The above selection of frames for each queue is made
by programming appropriate bits in the Frame Selection
register (FRSELREG) and is applicable to only those
frames that meet the criteria for copying as defined by
ADDET2–0 bits of Mode Register 1 (MDREG1) of
SUPERNET 3. The following restrictions apply to
frame selection:
1. The same selection is not allowed for both queues.
Programming the Frame Selection register with the
same selection in both the RECVx3:0 bits would
result in SUPERNET 3 operating as a single receive
queue mode, and would default to Receive Queue 1.
This overrides the MENDRCV bit in the Mode
Register 3 (MDREG3).
2. If high level selection option is used for a given frame
type, then sub-level selection for the same frame
type is not allowed [i.e. If LLC (0001) option is
selected for one queue, then Sync. LLC (0110) or
Async. LLC (0111) or Async. LLC & SMT options are
not allowed for the second queue]. If a selection is
made where one frame type is a sub-set of the other
frame type, the selection made for RECV1 queue
supersedes the selection for RECV2 queue.
SUPERNET 3
PRELIMINARY
The two receive queues will have independent receive
FIFO’s. There will be two instructions to clear locks on
the two receive queues.
“Clear Receive Queue Lock” (instruction code 20h) will
be for RECV1 and the new instruction” Clear Receive2
Queue Lock “(instruction code 21h) will be for
RECV2 queue.
“Clear All Queue Locks” command would clear locks on
all queues. Clearing the queues would enable further
transfer of data received from the corresponding receive
FIFO. The received data present in the buffer memory
for each queue is indicated by the corresponding
RDATA pin. RECV1 data is indicated by RDATA1 and
RECV2 data is indicated by RDATA2. If the two receive
queue feature is not selected, RDATA1 would indicate
received data present in buffer memory. Read requests
will not be acknowledged when RDATA pins are
inactive. The status bits SRCOMP, SRBMT, SRABT,
SRBFL, SRCVOVR of status register 2 upper ST2U (bit
15–11) would be for RECV1 queue. The status bits
SRCOMP2, SRBMT2, SRABT2, SRBFL2, SRCVOVR2
of status register 3 upper ST3U (bit 15–11) would be for
RECV2 queue. The host interface to read the data
received in the second receive queue would use
HSREQ2–0 lines and the encoding would be
HSREQ[2:0] =001.
Address Bit Swapping
The SUPERNET 3 provides the necessary logic for
swapping the address fields within each frame between
FDDI and IEEE Canonical bit order. This involves a bit
reversal within each byte of the address field. This
feature is user selectable for transmit, receive or both,
however, once selected the bit swapping applies to all
queues. This is an useful feature for bridging Ethernet to
FDDI or for other higher level protocols. Bit 15 of the
FRSELREG, ENRCVADSWAP, enables the bit swap
on the receive queues. The FC field of the received
frame would decide whether the frame has long address
or short address. Bit 14 of FRSELREG,
ENXMTADSWAP, enables the bit swap of the transmit
queues. The FC field of the frame to be transmitted will
decide whether the frame to be transmitted has long
address or short address. The CRC written into the
buffer memory will be the same as received. This logic
will not re-generate CRC after bit swapping on the
receive queues. The user can set MDREG2 bit 14,
STRPFCS, to strip receive FCS and prevent FCS being
AMD
copied into the buffer memory. On the transmit side, the
address bits are swapped before the CRC generator,
and therefore, the transmitted CRC will be correct for
the bit swapped address.
Auto-Unlocking of Receive Queues
The buffer memory receive queue is locked out for any
further input when the receive buffer is full (RPRx =
WPRx after an increment of WPRx). The lock can be
cleared using the node processor commands “clear
receive queue lock (20h)” or “clear all queue locks
(3Fh)”. Once the lock has been cleared, the receive
buffer is available for further input. However, the node
processor has to clear the lock by using the CMDREG1
to enable reception of frames in the receive buffer. The
SUPERNET 3 provides an enhancement feature to
allow automatic unlocking of the receive queue based
on user-programmable host read count threshold. To
enable this feature, MENRQAUNLCK bit in Mode
Register 3 (MDREG3) needs to be set. If this bit is
cleared, which is the case at the time of reset, the
SUPERNET 3 behaves like FORMAC+ (i.e Upon buffer
full condition the receive queue is locked for further
input and needs a node processor command to clear
the lock).
If MENRQAUNLCK is enabled, the UNLCKDLY register
needs to be programmed with a 8 bit threshold value for
each receive queue. Upon receive buffer full condition,
the UNLCKDLY value times 4 will be loaded into a
counter. The counter will count down for every corresponding host read receive acknowledge. After the
number of host read receive acknowledges exceeds the
user programmable count (UNLCKDLY) times 4, the
SUPERNET 3 would start receiving frames into the
corresponding receive buffer queue The SRBFLx bit in
ST2U and ST3U would indicate the status of the
corresponding receive buffer queue. If this bit is set it
indicates that the corresponding receive buffer queue is
locked. If the MENRQAUNLCK bit is set in MDREG3
this bit will be auto-cleared after the user programmed
delay or on receive buffer empty, otherwise, the node
processor has to clear the lock by issuing a command.
The auto-unlock will not work if host interface is not used
to read the receive queue and the lock can be cleared
only by the node processor. This feature can be
enabled/disabled in memory active or initialization
mode only. Once enabled/disabled the feature applies
to both the receive queues (if selected using MENDRCV
in MDREG3).

Addition of Scrambler/Descrambler Function to
Support Copper PMD
This is a description of the Stream-Cipher Scrambler
and Descrambler as implemented in the physical layer
controller block.
The Stream-Cipher Scrambler adds the output of a
random generator to the data stream. The purpose is to
spread the spectrum and reduce frequency peaks. As a
result, higher signal amplitudes can be transmitted over
copper that meet the requirements of the FCC and other
regulatory agencies.
The random generator is the polynomial 211 + 29. The
SUPERNET 3 implementation uses a 5-bit parallel
technique. The 5-bit output of the random generator is
exclusive-ORed with the input to produce scrambled
data for transmission.
The descrambler has a random generator which is
identical to the random generator in the scrambler. The
output of this generator is used to decipher the received
scrambled data using the same exclusive-OR function.
Since both random generators are identical, the output
of the receiver random generator is the original data
(data XOR Random → XOR Random = data).
This process is open loop in nature, i.e., the data has no
effect on the states of the random generators. Therefore, the descrambler must incorporate synchronization
circuitry to preset its state to the same state as the
scrambler. Once both random generators start from the
same state, they will remain in synchronization.
The synchronization circuitry, CREG and HREG registers, are designed to take advantage of the scrambled
FDDI line states. During the line states (HLS, QLS, MLS
and ILS), CREG and HREG generate known patterns.
When the synchronization circuitry detects these patterns, it generates a capture signal and the corresponding output data pattern.
CAPTURE controls the random generator. When it is
false, the random generator operates open loop. When
it is true, the random generator is preset to the deduced
output data exclusive-ORed with the input scrambled
data. This is equal to the state of the scrambler’s
random generator.
AMD
CAPTURE is enabled by SAMPLE, which is enabled by
SCRM_RESYNC. SCRM_RESYNC is active when
PHY line state is not Active Line State, or Unknown Line
State. A false SCRM_RESYNC indicates that the
decoded data is correct. Therefore the random generator is synchronized and SAMPLE is set false. SAMPLE
is set true when SCRM_RESYNC is true except during
the following condition:
If two consecutive IDLE bytes and then non-idle bytes
are detected when SCRM_RESYNC is true, SAMPLE
goes false and stays false for 32 RSCLK cycles. After
that the state of SAMPLE depends on
SCRM_RESYNC.
Testability
The Test Access Port (TAP)
An IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan architecture is provided
for board level testing and diagnostics. All pins are part
of the boundary-scan ring except Digital Transmitter/
Receiver pseudo-analog (PECL) pins. The TAP consists of five pins, TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO and TRST.
These pins are dedicated connections and may not be
used for any other purpose. The boundary-scan
architecture includes a TAP controller, an instruction
register and instruction decode logic, and a test data
register array.
The functional description of the TAP that follows is not a
complete description of the IEEE boundary-scan
architecture. Additional information and a more detailed
functional description can be found in the standard
document (IEEE Std 1149.1–1990). The description
provided here covers the specifics of this
particular implementation.
TAP Controller
The TAP controller is a synchronous 16-state finite state
machine which is driven by the TCK and TMS pins. All
state transitions of the TAP controller occur at the rising
edge of TCK. The transitions are based on the value of
TMS at the rising edge of TCK. In the Test-Logic-Reset
state the instruction register is initialized with the
IDCODE instruction. The TAP controller is forced to the
Test-Logic-Reset state whenever a logic 0 is placed on
the TRST pin. A system reset has no effect on the
TAP controller.

Description
Built-In Self Test (BIST)
DISCRY function no longer supported
The BIST feature of the SUPERNET 3 is provided to
ease board and system level testing, as well as our own
manufacturing testing. This feature can be accessed
through the TAP as well as the system interface. It is
expected that board level testing will use the TAP
interface, while system level testing will not have access
to the TAP interface and will need to run BIST through
the system interface.
Setting the DISCRY bit in mode register 1 (MDREG1,
bit 6) permitted testing the operation of certain internal
timers such as TRT, THT, TVX, and TMSYNC by
breaking them into smaller segments.
There are two functional units in the SUPERNET 3 that
are tested with BIST. These are the AF CAM core and
the enhanced PHY. The BIST testing of the two
functional units is available through the node processor
interface. See the AF specification for a description of
how to run the BIST for the AF. The enhanced PHY BIST
is run using the PHY BIST access as described in the
SUPERNET 2 PLC data sheet.

The following bits are in ST3U (the upper half of ST3).
Status Receive Complete (Receive Queue 2)
SRCOMP2 (bit 15)
This bit is set at the completion of a frame reception
following the writing of the frame status and length.
Receive frames that are aborted set this bit, but flushed
frames do not. This is valid in tag and modified
tag mode.
Status Receive Buffer Empty (Receive Queue 2)
SRBMT2 (bit 14)
This bit is set when the receive buffer is empty (i.e.
RPR2 = WPR2 after an increment of RPR), and is reset
when frames are in the receive buffer. This bit is not
auto-cleared when read. An interrupt is generated due
to setting of this bit when read from the receive queue is
attempted while the receive buffer is empty.
This bit is set when the receive buffer is full (RPR2 =
WPR2 after an increment of WPR2). The buffer-memory receive queue is then locked for further input.
SRBFL2 can be cleared using the clear receive queue
lock (20h) or clear all queue locks (3fh) commands, or by
using the auto-unlock feature.
Status Receive FIFO Overflow (Receive Queue 2 )
SRCVOVR2 (bit 11)
This bit when set, indicates that the SUPERNET 3
receive 2 FIFO has overflowed and receive data has
been lost. This condition may occur during the receive
buffer full state. SUPERNET 3 will not set the framestatus C indicator (frame copied) on repeated frames
when this bit is set.
Reserved (bit 10–bit 4)
Status Receive Abort (Receive Queue 2)
SRABT2 (bit 13)
The SRABT2 bit is set when the frame being received is
aborted. Frames that normally would be flushed but are
aborted due to threshold criterion in tag mode would set
this bit.
46
Status Receive Buffer Full (Receive Queue 2)
SRBFL2 (bit 12)
These bits are reserved for future use. Some of these
reserved bits may read zero or one and the user should
ignore these bits. The corresponding mask register bits
should be programmed to mask out the interrupts from
these bits.

received in queue 1.
Status Receive Queue 2 Unlocked
SRQUNLCK2 (bit 1)
This bit is set when the auto-unlock feature unlocks the
Receive Queue 2 lock due to buffer full condition. Once
the unlock threshold is crossed due the host read
operation, the SUPERNET 3 will clear the lock on the

Parity Generation and Checking
The SUPERNET 3 will have the following sequence of
parity generation and checking:
Transmit Path:
The parity, (even or odd) will be checked at the buffer
memory interface (BDP pins). Even parity will be
regenerated at the MAC—external PHY interface.
Receive Path:
Parity (even or odd) will be generated at the buffer
memory interface. Even parity will be checked at the
external PHY (R Bus) interface, if ENA_PAR_CHK
(bit 10) in PLC_CNTRL_A register is set.

Node Processor Synchronous Mode
Operation
The NPMODE pin (external pin) must be strapped
high to select SUPERNET 3 synchronous operation
and strapped low to select SUPERNET 3
asynchronous operation.
There are two possible methods of synchronous
operation of the SUPERNET 3:
1. BMCLK frequency equals BCLK frequency. (i.e.
12.5 MHz), and both clocks must be in phase.
2. BMCLK operates at twice BCLK (i.e. BMCLK =
25 MHz), and both clocks must be in phase.
SUPERNET 3
AMD
PRELIMINARY
In either method, the DS is ignored and should be
inactive (HIGH) during all synchronous accesses. The
read cycle is initiated by asserting the CSI, NPADDR,
NPRW signal which is sampled by the rising edge of the
clock. The NPRW signal should be high for read and low
for write. At least one clock cycle after the sampling
edge, the SUPERNET 3 will begin to drive the NP bus,
and this allow the chip driving the NP bus in the previous
read or write cycle time to tristate the NP bus. After the
next rising edge of clock (the second rising edge after
the assertion of CSI) the data on the NP bus will be valid
and the READY signal will be asserted. The data will
remain valid until the second rising edge of clock after
the de-assertion of CSI. The SUPERNET 3 will tristate
the NP bus within 1/2 clock cycle after this clock edge.
Regardless of how many clock cycles are needed for
executing any SUPERNET 3 instruction, READY stays
active only for one clock cycle.
subsequent external source address match is recognized. It must be asserted and deasserted in an identical
fashion to the XDAMAT pin. This input is used in
conjunction with the XDAMAT pin as follows:
A write cycle is very similar to the read cycle. The
principal difference are as follows:
The XDA_XACT pin, which is generated by the external
AF, is logically ORed with the “af_dax” output signal
generated by the internal AF logic. This pin is enabled
only if the MENXACT bit in the mode register 3
(MDREG3) is set. This pin should be tied high (VCC)
when external address detection (an external AF) is
not used.
1. The NPRW signal must be low while CSI is asserted.
2. The data written must be valid on the second rising
edge of clock after CSI is asserted and remain valid
until the next rising edge of the clock and READY
signal goes active (i.e. LOW). Regardless of how
many clock cycles are needed for executing any
SUPERNET 3 instruction, READY stays active only
for one clock cycle.
The Node Processor must tristate the NP bus within one
half clock period after the second rising edge after the
assertion of CSI. The Node Processor can extend the
write cycle and the time it has to tristate the NP bus by
delaying the de-assertion of CSI signal.
All register access is complete in two cycles and READY
is asserted at the positive edge of the second clock
cycle. An exception is for MDR accesses that may take
more than two clock cycles, at which point the assertion
of READY is deferred until the last clock period of the
execution cycle. Regardless of how many clock cycles
are needed for executing any SUPERNET 3 instruction,
READY stays active only for one clock cycle. Refer to
timing diagrams in specifications for details. The
assertion of READY signal could be delayed during
MDR accesses by “n” multiples of clock period.

XSA_XACT
External Source Address Exact Match (input,
active low)
This input indicates whether the external source address match was exact (low) or inexact (high). This input
should remain asserted for at least one BCLK cycle, and
must be deasserted for at least one BCLK cycle before a

Introduction
The Address Filter (AF) is a functional block that
extends the group and/or individual MAC address
recognition capabilities of the core FDDI MAC. The AF
SUPERNET 3
49
AMD
PRELIMINARY
recognizes both source and destination addresses,
extending the strip and copy functions of the core
FDDI MAC.
The AF is a content addressable memory (CAM) that
contains 32 entries. Each entry consists of a 48-bit
comparand, a 48-bit mask and a 6-bit “personality.” The
comparand holds the MAC addresses (individual and/or
group addresses) for which to look in frames received by
the MAC. The mask identifies those bits that are to
participate in the address comparison. The personality
holds information pertaining to the comparand such as
its validity, whether it is a source or destination address,
and whether a match by this comparand is to be
considered exact.
The AF provides quasi-parallel operation, allowing
simultaneous manipulation of the CAM from the node
processor interface and address matching from the
FDDI MAC receive bus interface. The AF receives a
byte-wide data stream from the FDDI MAC receive bus
as well as the necessary control information to identify
the location of the source and destination addresses in
the byte stream. It provides an indication of source and
destination match and exact match to the FDDI MAC.
The AF also has a 16-bit wide interface to the node
processor bus. This interface allows the node processor
access to the AF data registers and the command and
status registers.
Function of the Address Filter
The AF performs the function of matching source and
destination addresses presented on the receive data
bus and indicating such matches to the MAC. The MAC
uses this information in such decisions as stripping
frames, copying frames and setting frame status
indicators. The AF also matches addresses presented
through the node processor interface and indicates
these matches in the status register. This allows the
node processor to efficiently manage the contents of
the AF.
To perform the function of matching addresses from the
receive data bus, the AF loads bytes from the receive
data bus into a comparand register. The MAC indicates
the bytes to be loaded. Once the AF receives this
indication from the MAC, the AF loads six consecutive
bytes into the comparand register. Upon loading the
comparand register, the AF performs a parallel comparison of all the valid CAM entries in the AF with the
comparand register. The AF then indicates the result of
this comparison to the MAC. During AF address
comparision operation from the received data bus, the
node processor interface operations are ignored, and
the ERROR bit, along with the DONE bit, is set in the
status register.
To perform the function of matching addresses from the
node processor interface, the node processor loads six
bytes of information, two bytes at a time, into the node
processor comparand registers. The node processor
50
then issues a command to the AF to perform the
comparison operation. The AF ensures that the node
processor commanded comparison does not interfere
with a comparison from the MAC receive data bus. The
AF indicates the result of the comparison to the node
processor in the status register.
To perform any comparison operations, comparands
must be written into the CAM of the AF. The node
processor performs this operation. Writing a comparand
to the CAM in the AF is done by loading the new
comparand into the node processor comparand registers. The node processor then loads a 48-bit mask
associated with this comparand by loading the mask
into the node processor mask registers. Finally, the
node processor loads the personality associated with
this comparand by loading the node processor personality register. The node processor now completes the
operation by issuing a command to write into the CAM
through the command register. The status register
reflects the current state of the operation, indicating
when the AF is busy or full. Once completed, the
comparand is available for comparison operations
through both the node processor and MAC receive bus
interfaces. Additional comparands may be loaded by
repeating this operation until no empty locations remain
in the CAM.
The AF also provides a mechanism to remove entries
from the CAM. This process is called invalidation. To
invalidate an entry in the AF, the node processor will
load the contents of the CAM that are to be invalidated
into the node processor comparand registers. The node
processor then issues an instruction to find the entry in
the CAM through the command register. When it is
determined that the entry that has been found is the one
to be deleted, the node processor issues a command to
invalidate the entry. Since it is possible that more than
one entry in the AF may match the comparand, the AF
indicates when a multiple match occurs. When this
occurs, the node processor may temporarily prevent an
entry in the AF from participating in find commands
issued by the node processor until the correct entry is
found. The status register indicates when the AF is not
busy, i.e., when operations are complete.
There is one more function of the AF that allows the
entire CAM to be invalidated in a single operation. The
node processor may issue an instruction to invalidate
the entire CAM through the command register.
Node Processor Registers
There are ten registers in the node processor interface
of the AF. They are the command register, the status
register, the built-in self test signature register, the
personality register, three comparand registers and
three mask registers.

Function
000
Invalidate CAM: This function invalidates all entries in the CAM. The DONE, FULL, FOUND,
MULT, ERROR, BISTDONE and EXACT bits in the status register will be cleared when this command is issued. The DONE and EMPTY bits in the status register will be set upon completion of this
operation.
001
Write CAM: This function writes the contents of the comparand, mask and personality registers into
an empty location in the CAM. The DONE, FULL, FOUND, MULT, BISTDONE and EXACT bits in
the status register will be cleared when this command is issued. The DONE bit in the status register
will be set upon completion of this operation. The FULL bit in the status register will be set if the CAM
is full when this operation is completed. If the FULL bit is set when this command is issued, the write
operation will not be performed and the ERROR bit in the status register will be set. Otherwise, the
ERROR bit will be cleared.
010
Read CAM: This function causes the contents of the CAM entry matching the comparand (indicated by the FOUND bit in the status register after a FIND command) to be written to the comparand,
mask and personality registers in the node processor interface. If more than one entry matches the
comparand (indicated by the MULT bit in the status register), one of the entries will be chosen arbitrarily. The DONE, FOUND, MULT, ERROR, BISTDONE and EXACT bits in the status register will
be cleared when this command is issued. Upon completion of this operation, the DONE bit in the
status register will be set. The ERROR bit will be set if this operation is attempted while the CAM is
empty or if the FOUND bit is not set.
011
Run BIST: This function causes the AF to initiate its built-in self test. The contents of the CAM, including all of its registers, may be modified by the operation of this self test. The DONE, FOUND,
MULT, ERROR, BISTDONE and EXACT bits in the status register will be cleared when this command is issued. Upon completion of this operation, the DONE and BISTDONE bits in the status register will be set. Other status bits may be in arbitrary states. The AF must be reset after BIST is completed to return it to a known state before performing any other operations on the AF.
100
Find: This function causes the AF to perform a parallel comparison of the comparand registers with
the contents of the CAM. CAM entries that have the SKIP bit set will not match the comparand. The
node processor mask registers do not participate in this operation. The DONE, FOUND, MULT, ERROR, BISTDONE and EXACT bits in the status register will be cleared when this command is issued. Upon completion of this operation, the DONE bit in the status register will be set and the
FOUND, MULT and EXACT bits will be updated with the appropriate status of the operation.
101
Invalidate: This function operates on the result of the last “Find” instruction, above, and sets the
INVALID bit in the personality of the first matching entry in the CAM. The DONE, FOUND, MULT,
ERROR, BISTDONE and EXACT bits in the status register will be cleared when this command is
issued. Upon completion of this operation, the DONE bit in the status register will be set. The
EMPTY bit will be updated with the appropriate status after the operation. The ERROR bit will be set
if this operation is attempted while the FOUND bit is not set. Otherwise, the ERROR bit will remain
cleared.
110
Skip: This function operates on the result of the latest “Find” operation and causes the AF to set the
SKIP bit in the personality of the first matching CAM entry. The SKIP bit will be set in the same entry
that will be read by issuing a “Read CAM” instruction. The DONE, FOUND, MULT, ERROR,
BISTDONE and EXACT bits in the status register will be cleared when this command is issued.
Upon completion of this operation, the DONE bit in the status register will be set. The ERROR bit will
be set if this operation is attempted while the FOUND bit is not set. Otherwise, the ERROR bit will
remain cleared.
111
Clear all SKIP bits: This function causes the CAM to clear all SKIP bits. The DONE, FOUND,
MULT, ERROR, BISTDONE and EXACT bits in the status register will be cleared when this command is issued. Upon completion of this operation, the DONE bit in the status register will be set.

The DONE bit indicates to the node processor that the
AF is finished performing a previously commanded
operation. The node processor must not issue any
command to the AF when this bit is not set. This bit may
be used to generate an interrupt to the node processor
indicating the completion of an operation.
This bit indicates the result of a “Find” operation. When
set, this bit indicates that the data in the comparand
register matches at least one entry in the CAM (as
masked by the mask entries). If this bit is reset, this bit
indicates that no entry in the CAM matches the data in
the comparand register. This bit is cleared as a result of
a “Skip” or “Invalidate” operation.
FULL (bit 14)
CAM Full
This bit indicates the state of the CAM array. When this
bit is set, there are no invalid CAM entries, i.e., all CAM
entries have their VALID bit set. When this is reset, there
is at least one invalid entry in the CAM. If this bit is set,
the AF should not be commanded to “Write CAM.” If that
instruction is issued when this bit is set, the operation
will not be performed.
Note: The ERROR bit in the status register will not be

MAC Comparand Register
This is a 48-bit register that is loaded from the MAC
receive data bus. The data arrives one byte at a time and
is loaded byte serially into the register. An internal
multiplexer is driven by the state variable of the MAC
address state machine. Once started, the state machine
causes the register to load six consecutive bytes from
the receive data bus into the comparand register. Upon
completion of the loading of the register, the contents
will be transferred to the MAC comparand shadow
register for comparison with the contents of the CAM.
MAC Comparand Shadow Register
MAC Interface
The AF interfaces to the FDDI MAC through the receive
data bus, MAC status and control signals, and the AF
match output signals. As described above, the AF loads
addresses to be compared as they are received from the
60
network. The MAC signals the AF at the beginning of the
source and/or destination address through the MAC
address state machine’s state variable. The AF uses
this state variable to load six consecutive bytes into the
MAC comparand register and perform the comparison
of the address against the contents of the CAM when the
complete address is in the register. The AF signals the
MAC with the result of the comparison and if the
comparison is exact (as determined by the appropriate
bit in the personality byte). The AF will decode the
Frame Control (FC) field of the received frame and will
not participate in the address match if bit 6 of the FC is
zero (indicating a short address frame).
The MAC comparand shadow register receives the
contents of the MAC comparand register once that
register has been loaded with six bytes of address
information from the MAC receive data bus. This allows
the MAC comparand register to immediately begin
loading a subsequent address from the receive data bus
without interfering with the comparison function of the
AF. Once data has been transferred into the MAC
comparand shadow register, the contents of the shadow
register are compared with the contents of the CAM.

ADDRESS FILTER TEST SPECIFICATION
Introduction
The Address Filter (AF) core requires a special set of
test patterns to provide adequate fault coverage. The
mask and data bits of the AF are similar to an SRAM cell
and must be tested with the types of test patterns that
are used to test SRAM’s. The main fault models that are
applied in SRAM testing are the stuck-at fault model, the
transition fault model, and the coupling fault model. The
stuck-at fault model describes the condition where a cell
or line is always 0 or 1 and can’t be changed to the
opposite state. The transition fault model describes the
condition where a cell or line fails to undergo a transition
from 0_1 or from 1_0 when it is written. The coupling
fault model describes the condition where a write to a
cell that causes a transition in that cell, also causes a
transition in another cell. In addition to the test
necessary for the above fault models, the CAM contains
additional personality bits, match logic and a priority
encoder that must also be tested.
The AF core will be tested through the use of built-in self
test (BIST). The patterns that need to be applied to the
SRAM portion of the CAM are algorithmic in nature and
can be easily implemented with BIST. The components
of the AF BIST logic will include a state machine, a
data generator, a signature register, and an
address generator.
Test Logic Description
This section provides a description of the AF test logic.
BIST Operation
The BIST feature can be accessed by one of two
methods. The first means of access is a serial mode of
access meant to be used with an IEEE 1149.1 Test
Access Port (TAP) controller. The second means of
access is a parallel mode of access using the node
processor interface. Each means of access is described
further below.
TAP Interface
Access to BIST through the TAP interface is provided so
that the core can be tested in a product that supports the
RUNBIST instruction of the IEEE 1149.1 standard. As
such, the implementation of the BIST should conform to
all the rules described for the RUNBIST instruction in the
standard. Some of these rules apply only to the design
of the TAP controller itself, while others affect the
implementation of the AF BIST logic. The rules that
affect the implementation of the AF BIST logic are
summarized below.
62
The AF will have a serial input and serial output through
which the results of the BIST can be shifted. These
resuls shall be shifted in response to the appropriate
TAP interface signals.
The AF BIST execution will depend on signals provided
by the TAP controller and will run at a rate determined by
the TAP test clock. The clocking of the BIST will be taken
care of external to the AF. This can be done by
multiplexing the normal AF clock with the test clock
during the RUNBIST instruction.
The AF BIST implementation shall not require a seed
value to be serially shifted in.
The minimum number of test clock cycles necessary for
the completion of BIST needs to be provided. After the
minimum number of clock cycles the AF must hold the
results of the BIST constant until requested to shift them
out by the TAP controller.
Each execution of BIST shall provide the same result
and shall not depend on the state of signals received at
non-TAP interface signal.
The serial BIST operation is begun when the tl_bistena
signal from the TAP controller is asserted. This signal
must remain asserted for the minimum duration specified to guarantee a valid signature. When the minimum
number of clock cycles has passed the tl_bistena signal
will be de-asserted and a short time later the tl_bistse
signal will be asserted to shift out the contents of the
signature register through the af_tdo output. When the
tl_bistena signal becomes de-asserted, the signature
register should hold its content until the tl_bistena signal
is asserted again, or the AF is reset. If the minimum
number of clock cycles for the completion of BIST is not
met, an intermediate signature will be obtained. This
can be used to aid in fault isolation for internal
manufacturing testing.

Access to BIST through the node processor interface is
provided for board and system level testing. BIST is
initiated through this interface by writing the Run BIST
instruction to the AFCMD register. The BISTDONE and
DONE bits in the AFSTAT register are cleared upon
issuing this instruction and the BIST state machine
moves from the idle to the operational state. At the
completion of self test, the BISTDONE and DONE bits
will be set in the AFSTAT register. The DONE bit can be
used to generate an interrupt to the node processor
indicating the completion of the self test. The result of
the self test can be obtained by reading the AFBIST
register and comparing it to the known good signature.

BIST Pattern Requirements
This section presents the pattern requirements that the
BIST implementation should try to meet. The implementation should try to meet as many of the requirements as
possible, however, overhead considerations may make
this goal unattainable. In the case that the requirements
are not met, a means of applying these patterns
functionally must be found. The functional application of
patterns may dictate additional testability requirements
in the AF. The pattern requirements are divided into two
sections, the first deals with the testing of the portion of
the AF that is SRAM-like, the second deals with the
testing of the remaining AF logic such as the match
logic, priority encoder, exact logic, etc.
Pattern requirements for the SRAM-like portion of
the AF
The following pattern requirements are taken from a
paper by Jain and Stroud. Some of the requirements
may be architecture specific and may not be necessary.
Additional requirements may be necessary depending
on the architecture of the AF. This paper describes two
algorithms that may be used in the implementation of
the BIST test.
1. Each cell must undergo a 0_1 transition and then a
1_0 transition or vice versa. Each cell must be read
after each transition.
2. For every pair of physically adjacent cell i and j the
test writes cell i with and 1 and cell j with a 0 and then
cell i with a 0 and cell j with a 1. It then reads after
each write. To consider coupling faults between
master/slave bits, cells i and j are written with the
same data.
Pattern requirements for the non-SRAM portion of
the AF
The following pattern requirements may be difficult to
implement in silicon and may have to be applied functionally. Some of the patterns described in this section
can be applied at the same time as the SRAM tests are
being applied. The non-SRAM portion of the AF consists
of the comparator, the source address exact/inexact
match logic, the destination exact/inexact match logic,
and the multiple match logic (which includes the priority
encoder logic). The stuck-at fault model is the only fault
model used in developing the pattern requirements for
this portion of the AF. The other fault models discussed
earlier were developed for memory arrays and it would
not make sense to try to apply them to this section of
the AF.
Comparator
The output of the comparator logic is the 32 match lines
for each AF entry. The output of the comparator is
further modified by the state of the personality bits. The
comparator can be viewed as 32 48-bit wide comparators with one half of the inputs to each comparator
supplied by the corresponding mask and data bits for
each comparator, and the other half of the inputs to each
comparator supplied by the comparand register. For the
purpose of describing the data patterns necessary to
test each comparator it will be assumed that all valid bits
are set, all skip bits are reset and that either the SA or
DA bits are set to allow a match operation to be visible
outside the AF. The following table summarizes the truth
table for a single bit of the comparator:
3. Each cell must be read twice after writing a 1 and a 0.
4. Decoder faults should be detected by writing unique
data in every memory word and then reading the AF.
5. A special sequence of data patterns should be
written and read to detect stuck-at faults in the read
column decoder logic.
6. Some memory words should be written and read
with data having different logic values on every pair
of adjacent input data lines.

1. The stuck-at 1 (s@1) condition in the mask bits for a
comparator can be checked by first writing all mask
bits to 0’s, all data bits to 0’s and the comparand
register to all 1’s. If any single mask bit is s@1, no
match will occur otherwise a match will result as can
be seen from the first line of table 1. To speed the
testing for this condition, all entries can be tested in
parallel if an all match indication is provided. All mask
and data bits are written with 0’s and compared
simultaneously with the comparand. Each entry
should match resulting in the all match condition. If
any mask bit is s@1, the all match condition will not
occur and the fault can be detected.
2. The stuck-at 0 (s@0) condition in the mask bits for a
comparator are tested by the data patterns shown in
the third and fourth lines of table 1. These lines are a
subset of the patterns needed to test the XNOR
faults that are represented by lines 2 through 5 of
table 1. The outputs of the XNOR gates for each bit
are all AND’ed together to form the match output of
the comparator. The following test description will
cover all stuck-at faults for the remainder of the
comparator logic. These tests assume that all mask
bits are written with 1’s and assume the existence of
an all match indication. The test is described in
two parts:
Part #1
a) Write each data entry with all 0’s.
b) Write the comparand register with all 0’s.
c) Perform a match operation—should get an all match
indication.
d) Repeat steps a through c but this time use all 1’s. At
this point half of the XNOR tests (lines 2 and 5 in
table 1) have been completed and the AND circuitry
has been tested for s@0 faults.
Part #2
a) Write each data entry with all 0’s.
b) Do 48 matches while walking a 1 through a field of 0’s
in the comparand register. Since a single bit is in
error for each match, a match condition should never
occur.
c) Repeat steps a and b with each data entry being all
1’s and walking a 0 through a field of 1’s in the
comparand. At this point, all the XNOR tests are
completed. This also checks for s@1 faults in the
AND circuitry since all but a single bit match. This
test also tests for the mask bit s@0.
Source address exact/inexact logic:
The SRAM portion of this logic, namely the storage for
the SA and SAX personality bits will be tested by the
SRAM tests presented earlier. What remains to be
tested is the logic that generates the source address
match and the source address match exact logic.
The test pattern description that follows does not yet
take into account the impact of the SKIP bit since its use
hasn’t been completely determined as yet. The patterns
also assume the existence of an all match indication as
described earlier. The following table summarizes the
patterns that need to be applied to check each entry
match and exact indicators:

The individual match lines for each entry must be OR’d
together to determine if a match has occurred. The individual exact match lines must also be OR’d together to
determine if an exact match has occurred. The pattern
shown in the first line of the table will detect all s@0
faults on the logic that generates each match and exact
line for an entry. It will also check for a s@0 fault on the
final match and exact outputs. The pattern shown in the
second line of the table will check for all s@1 faults arising from the SAX personality bits and will also detect a
s@1 fault on the final exact output. The pattern shown in
the third line of the table will check for s@1 faults on the
VALID personality bits as well as on the final match and
exact outputs. The final pattern shown in the fourth line
64
of the table will check for s@1 faults on the SA personality bits as well as on the final match and exact outputs.
One could argue that the first pattern is not sufficient to
cover all possible s@0 faults in the final OR’ing of the
individual match and exact lines since these faults are
detected on the assumption of the existence of an all
match indication (an all exact indication is also necessary). The all match indicator is used to speed the
testing of the AF since all entries can be written with the
same values. If someone is uncomfortable with this
potential loss in coverage, then an additional 32
patterns are needed that only apply the first pattern of
the table to each entry by itself so that only one entry
SUPERNET 3
PRELIMINARY
causes the match and exact lines to be asserted. This
pattern will take much longer to apply than the minimal
set presented in table 2.
Destination address exact/inexact logic:
Since the destination address matching logic is identical
to the source address matching logic, the same test can
be applied as described in the previous section of this
document. These tests can be applied simultaneously
with the source address patterns.
PROGRAMMING METHODS
This section provides details of how the AF is intended
to be used. This section provides a description of the
methods to write entries into the AF, to find entries in the
AF and to invalidate entries in the AF.
Writing Entries into the AF
AMD
1. Load the value of the comparand that it is desired to
find into the NP comparand register.
2. Write the “Find” instruction into the NP command
register. Note: the comparand is not modified by the
NP mask registers.
3. Read the NP status register when the DONE bit is
set. If the FOUND bit is set, there is at least one
matching entry in the AF that does not have its SKIP
bit set. If the MULT bit is also set, there is more than
one entry that matches the comparand that does not
have the SKIP bit set.
Invalidating Entries in the AF
In conjunction with managing the contents of the AF, it
may be required to remove entries. This process is
called “invalidation.” To invalidate an entry in the AF, the
following steps should be followed.
In order for the AF to perform the function of matching
addresses in network frames, the desired addresses
must be loaded into the CAM portion of the AF. The
following procedure should be followed to accomplish
this operation.
1. Load the NP comparand register with the value of the
AF entry that is to be removed.
1. Write the comparand value into the NP comparand
registers. Note that the comparand register will
retain any previous value if it is not overwritten.
3. When the DONE bit is set, read the NP status
register. Do one of the following:
2. Write the NP mask register if it is desired to mask any
portion of the comparand. Note that the mask
register will retain any previous value if it is not
overwritten.
3. Write the NP personality register with the desired
configuration of the SA, SAX, DA and DAX bits. The
VALID bit must be set if this entry is to participate in
any comparisons (either NP or network). If the
VALID bit is not set, this entry may be overwritten
when another entry is written to the CAM. The SKIP
bit should be cleared if this it will be necessary to find
this entry through the NP interface at a later time.
Note that the personality register will retain any
previous value if it is not overwritten.
4. Write the “Write CAM” instruction into the NP
command register.
5. The status register should be read once the DONE
bit is set to ensure that the ERROR bit was not set.
Note: The ERROR bit in the status register will not be
set if a “Write CAM” instruction is used when this bit is
set. The user has to read this bit status before attempting to write an entry into the CAM.
Finding Entries in the AF
Once a number of entries are resident in the AF, it may
be necessary to find one or more of them. The process
below should be used to perform this operation.
2. Write the “Find” instruction into the NP command
register.
3a.If the FOUND bit is not set, there is no entry in the AF
that matches the comparand that does not have its
SKIP bit set.
3b.If the FOUND bit is set and the MULT bit is not set,
there is only one entry in the AF that matches the
comparand that does not have its SKIP bit set. Write
the “Invalidate” instruction into the NP command
register.
3c. If the FOUND and MULT bits are set, there is more
than one entry in the AF that matches the comparand
that does not have its SKIP bit set. If all of these
entries should be invalidated, write the “Invalidate”
instruction followed by the “Find” instruction into the
NP command register repeatedly until the FOUND
bit is not set in the NP status register. If only one of
the multiple matching entries should be invalidated,
write the “Read CAM” instruction to the NP
command register, compare the contents read back
from the CAM to the desired comparand, mask and
personality. If the currently matching AF entry is the
one that should be invalidated, write the “Invalidate”
instruction to the NP command register. If the
currently matching AF entry should not be
invalidated, write the “Skip” instruction to the NP
command register and repeat the invalidate process
from the beginning.
4. Write the “Clear all SKIP” instruction to the NP
command register.

PDX FUNCTIONAL DISCRIPTION
Introduction
multiplier is referenced to the rising edges of
LSCLK only.
The PDX is a digital CMOS core that is used in
SUPERNET 3. It employs new circuit techniques to
achieve clock and data recovery.
In order to generate the serial output waveforms
conforming to the FDDI specifications, the external
reference clock must meet FDDI frequency and stability
requirements. Under normal conditions, the frequency
of LSCLK must be within the FDDI specified ±50 ppm of
the received data for the PDX to operate optimally.
(Note: The 50 ppm is the tolerance of the crystalcontrolled source.)
Traditionally, Phase-Locked-Loops (PLL) are used for
the purpose of clock recovery in data communication
areas. There are both analog and digital versions of the
PLL components such as phase detector, filter, charge
pump. A traditional PLL always contains a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) to regenerate a clock which is
frequency synchronized to and phase aligned with the
received data.
The PDX employs techniques that are significantly
different from the traditional PLL. Not only are the
control functions completely digital, the VCO function is
also replaced by a proprietary delay-line technique. The
result is a highly integratable core which can be
manufactured in a standard digital CMOS process.
The PDX transmitter serializes encoded NRZ symbols.
The clock multiplier circuit generates a bit rate
(125 MHz) clock from the LSCLK reference. The serial
data stream is converted into NRZI for output to the
PMD transceiver.
The PDX receiver uses the clock recovery circuit to
extract clock information from the received data. The
recovered clock is used to operate the serial-to-parallel
conversion logic.
PDX FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The PDX accepts 4B5B encoded data symbols scramble or non-scrambled from the PLC-S core at TDAT 4–0
inputs. The 5-bit symbol is clocked into the PDX by the
rising edge of LSCLK, serialized, converted to NRZI
format and shifted to the outputs. The TX+/TX– pair
carries PECL-compatible differential NRZI data to
the fiber optic transmitter or to the twisted-pair
transceiver interface.
The PDX uses LSCLK as the frequency reference to
generate the serial link data rate. The external clock
source must be crystal controlled and continuous. All
of the internal logic of PDX runs on internal clocks
that are derived from the external reference source or
extracted from the received data. The PDX’s clock
66
The TX+/TX– serial outputs comply to the FDDI
SMF-PMD jitter allocation and typically contains less
than 0.4 ns peak-to-peak jitter at 125 MBaud.
The PDX accepts encoded PECL NRZI signal levels at
the RX+/RX– inputs and converts them to NRZ format.
The receiver circuit recovers data from the input stream
by regenerating clocking information embedded in the
serial stream. The PDX then clocks the unframed
symbol (5 bits) to the RDAT 4–0 interface on the falling
edge of RSCLK to the PLC-S core.
The PDX receiver uses advanced circuit techniques to
extract embedded clock information from the serial input
stream and recovers the data. Its operating frequency is
established by the reference at LSCLK. The PDX is
capable of tracking data correctly within 1000 ppm of
LSCLK (exceeds the frequency range defined by
the FDDI specification). FDDI 4B5B encoding scheme
ensures run-length limitation and adequate transition
density of the encoded data stream, while TP-PMD
achieves this on a statistical basis through data
scrambling. The PDX clock recovery circuit is
designed to meet and exceed a worst-case run-length
tolerance of 60-bits in order to function correctly with
both fiber-optic and twisted-pair PMDs. The actual
run-length tolerance is more than 1000 bits due to the
unique data recovery technique.
The PDX receiver has input jitter tolerance characteristics that meet or exceed the recommendations of
Physical Layer Medium Dependent (PMD) FDDI document. Typically, at 125 MBaud (8 ns/bit), the peak-topeak Duty-Cycle Distortion (DCD) tolerance is 1.4 ns,
the peak-to-peak Data Dependent Jitter (DDJ) tolerance is 2.2 ns, and the peak-to-peak Random Jitter (RJ)
tolerance is 2.27 ns. The total combined peak-to-peak
jitter tolerance is typically 5 ns with bit error rate (BER)
better than 2.5 X 10-10.
