GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am79C98 Twisted-Pair Ethernet Transceiver
(TPEX) is an integrated circuit that implements the
medium attachment unit (MAU) functions for the
twisted-pair medium, as specified by the IEEE 802.3
standard (Type 10BASE-T). This device provides the
necessary electrical and functional interface between
the IEEE 802.3 standard attachment unit interface
(AUI) and the twisted-pair cable.
A network based on the 10BASE-T standard can use
unshielded twisted-pair cables, providing an economical solution to networking by allowing the use of existing telephone wiring. The Am79C98 provides a minimal
component count and cost-effective solution to the
design and implementation of 10BASE-T standard
networks.

Link Status
Open Drain, Input/Output
When this pin is tied LOW, the internal Link Test
Receive function is disabled and the Transmit and Receive functions will remain active irrespective of arriving idle Link Test pulses and data. TPEX continues to
generate idle Link Test pulses irrespective of the status
of this pin.
As an output, this pin is driven LOW if the link is identified as functional. However, if the link is determined to
be nonfunctional, due to missing idle Link Test pulses
or data packets, then this pin is not driven. In the LOW
output state, the pin is capable of sinking a maximum
of 16 mA and can be used to drive an LED.
This pin is internally pulled HIGH when inactive.
Receive Data
Input
10BASE-T port differential receivers.
RXPOL
Receive Polarity
Open Drain, Input/Output
The twisted-pair receiver is capable of detecting a receive signal with reversed polarity (wiring error). The
RXPOL pin is normally in the LOW state, indicating correct polarity of the received signal. If the receiver detects reversed polarity, then this pin is not driven (goes
HIGH) and the polarity of subsequent packets is inverted. In the LOW output state, this pin can sink up to
a maximum of 16 mA and is therefore capable of driving an LED.
This feature can be disabled by strapping this pin LOW.
In this case, the Receive Polarity correction circuit is
disabled and the internal receive signal remains noninverted, irrespective of the received signal.
This pin is internally pulled HIGH when inactive.

(Station MAU), TPEX transfers data independently
from DO to the TXD/TXP circuit and from RXD to the DI
circuit. If the SQE TEST is in the HIGH state (Repeater

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Twisted-Pair Ethernet Transceiver (TPEX) complies with the requirements specified by the IEEE 802.3
standard for the attachment unit interface (AUI) and the
standard for 10BASE-T medium attachment unit
(MAU). TPEX also implements a number of features in
addition to the IEEE 802.3 standard. An outline of functions implemented by the Am79C98 is given below.
Attachment Unit Interface
(DO+/–, DI+/–, CI+/–)
The AUI electrical and functional characteristics comply with those specified by the IEEE 802.3, Sections 7
and 14 (drafted). The AUI pins can be wired directly to
the isolation transformer, for a remote MAU application,
or to another device (e.g., Am7992 serial interface
adapter). The end-of-packet SQE Test function (heartbeat) can be disabled to allow the device to be employed in a repeater application.
Twisted-Pair Transmit Function
Data transmission to the 10BASE-T medium occurs
when valid AUI signals appear on the DO+/–differential
pair. This data stream is routed to the differential driver
circuitry in the TXD+/– pins. The driver circuitry provides necessary electrical driving capability and predistortion control for transmitting signals over
maximum-length twisted-pair cable, as specified by the
IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T standard. The transmit function
meets the propagation delays and jitter specified by the
standard. During transmission, the XMT pin is driven
HIGH and can be used for status information.
Twisted-Pair Receive Function
The receiver complies with the receiver specifications
of the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T standard, including noise
immunity and received signal rejection criteria (“Smart
Squelch”). Signals meeting these criteria appearing at
the RXD+/– differential input pair are routed to the DI+/–
outputs. The receiver function meets the propagation
delays and jitter requirements specified by the standard. Receiver squelch level drops to approximately
half its threshold value after unsquelch to allow reception of minimum amplitude signals and to offset carrier
fade in the event of worst-case signal attenuation and
crosstalk noise conditions. During receive, the RCV pin
is driven HIGH and can be used for status information.
Link Test Function
The Link Test function is implemented as specified by
the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T standard. During periods of
transmit pair inactivity, Link Test pulses will be periodically sent over the twisted-pair medium to allow constant monitoring of medium integrity. When the Link
Test function is enabled, the absence of Link Test
pulses on the RXD+/– pair will cause the TPEX to go
into a Link Fail state. In Link Fail state, data transmission,
8
Am79C98
data reception, and the collision detection functions are
disabled, and remain disabled until valid data or >2
consecutive Link Test pulses appear on the RXD+/–
pair. During Link Fail, the LNKST pin is internally pulled
HIGH. When the link is identified as functional, the
LNKST pin is driven LOW and is capable of directly
driving a “link OK” LED. In order to interoperate with
systems that do not implement Link Test, this function
can be disabled by grounding the LNKST pin. When
disabled, the driver and receiver functions remain enabled irrespective of the presence or absence of data
or Link Test pulses on the RXD+/– pair. The transmitter
continues to generate Link Test pulses in the absence
of transmit data even if the Link Test function is
disabled.
Polarity Detection and Reversal
The TPEX receive function includes the ability to invert
the polarity of the signals appearing at the RXD± pair if
the polarity of the received signal is reversed (such as
in the case of a wiring error). This feature allows data
packets received from a reverse-wired RXD± input pair
to be corrected in the TPEX prior to transfer to the DTE
via the AUI interface (DI±). The polarity detection function is activated following reset or Link Fail, and will reverse the receive polarity based on both the polarity of
any previous Link Test pulses and the polarity of subsequent packets with a valid end transmit delimiter (ETD).
When in the Link Fail state, TPEX will recognize Link
Test pulses of either positive or negative polarity. Exit
from the Link Fail state is caused by the reception of
five to six consecutive Link Test pulses of identical polarity. On entry to the Link Pass state, the polarity of the
last five Link Test pulses is used to determine the initial
receive polarity configuration and the receiver is reconfigured to subsequently recognize only Link Test pulses
of the previously established polarity. This link pulse
algorithm is employed only until ETD polarity determination is made, as described later in this section.
Positive Link Test pulses are defined as received signals with a positive amplitude greater than 520 mV and
a pulse width of 60 ns to 200 ns. This positive excursion
may be followed by a negative excursion. This definition
is consistent with the expected received signal at a correctly wired receiver when a Link Test pulse that fits the
template of Figure 14-12 in the 10BASE-T standard is
generated at a transmitter and passed through 100 m
of twisted-pair cable.
Negative Link Test pulses are defined as received signals with a negative amplitude greater than 520 mV
and a pulse width of 60 ns to 200 ns. This negative excursion may be followed by a positive excursion. This
definition is consistent with the expected received signal
at a reverse wired receiver when a Link Test pulse that
fits the template of Figure 14-12 in the 10BASE-T
standard is generated at a transmitter and passed
through 100 m of twisted-pair cable.
The polarity detection/correction algorithm will remain
“armed” until two consecutive packets with valid ETD of
identical polarity are detected. When “armed,” the receiver is capable of changing the initial or previous
polarity configuration based on the most recent ETD
polarity.
On receipt of the first packet with valid ETD following
reset or Link Fail, TPEX will utilize the inferred polarity
information to configure its RXD± input, regardless of
its previous state. On receipt of a second packet with a
valid ETD with correct polarity, the detection/correction
algorithm will “lock in” the initial polarity. If the second
(or subsequent) packet is not detected as confirming
the previous polarity decision, the most recently detected ETD polarity will be used as the new default.
Note that packets with invalid ETD have no effect on
updating the previous polarity decision. Once two consecutive packets with valid ETD have been received,
TPEX will disable the detection/correction algorithm
until either a Link Fail condition occurs or PRDN/RST is
asserted.
During polarity reversal, the RXPOL pin is internally
pulled HIGH. During normal polarity conditions, the
RXPOL pin is driven LOW and is capable of directly
driving a “Polarity OK” LED using an integrated 16 mA
driver. If desired, the polarity reversal function can be
disabled by grounding the RXPOL pin.
Twisted-Pair Interface Status
Two outputs (XMT and RCV) indicate whether TPEX is
transmitting (AUI to twisted-pair) or receiving (twistedpair to AUI). Both signals are asserted during a collision. In Link Fail mode, RCV is disabled. In Jabber
Detect mode, XMT is disabled. Both signals are active
HIGH.
Collision Detect Function
Simultaneous carrier sense (presence of valid data signals) by both the AUI DO+/– pair and the RXD+/– pair
constitutes a collision, thereby causing a 10 MHz signal
to be asserted on the CI+/– output pair. The CI+/– output
meets the drive requirements for the AUI. This 10 MHz
signal will remain on the CI+/– pair until one of the two
colliding states changes from active to idle. The CI+/–
output pair stays HIGH for two bit times at the end of a
collision, decreasing to the idle level within eighty bit
times after the last LOW-to-HIGH transition. Both the
XMT and RCV pins are driven HIGH during collision.
Signal Quality Error (SQE) Test (Heartbeat)
Function
When the SQE TEST pin is driven LOW, TPEX will
routinely exercise the collision detection circuitry by
generating an SQE message at the end of every trans-
mission. This signal is a self-test indication to the DTE
that the MAU collision circuitry is functional. An SQE
message consists of a 10 MHz signal on the CI+/–
pair with a duration of 8 bit times (800 ns). When enabled, an SQE Test will occur at the end of every transmission, starting eight bit times (800 ns) after the last
transition of the transmitted signal. For repeater applications, the SQE Test function can be disabled by tying
the SQE TEST pin HIGH or by leaving it disconnected.
Jabber Function
The Jabber function inhibits the twisted-pair transmit
function of TPEX if the DO+/– circuit is active longer
than the time permitted to transmit the maximumlength 802.3/Ethernet data packet (50 ms nominal).
This prevents any one node from disrupting the network due to a “stuck on” or faulty transmitter. If this
maximum transmit time is exceeded, TPEX transmitter
circuitry is disabled and a 10 MHz signal is driven onto
the CI+/– pair. Once the transmit data stream is removed from the DO+/– pair of inputs, an “unjab” time of
250 ms to 750 ms will elapse before TPEX removes the
10 MHz signal from the CI+/– pair and re-enables the
transmit path.
Power Down
In addition to on-board power-on-reset circuitry, the
PRDN/RST pin is used as the master reset for TPEX.
PRDN/RST must be driven LOW for a minimum of two
microseconds for reset to occur. The PRDN/RST pin
can also be used to put the TPEX into an inactive state,
causing the device to consume less power. This feature
is useful in battery-powered or low-duty-cycle systems.
Driving PRDN/RST LOW resets the internal logic of
TPEX and places the device into idle mode. In this
mode, the twisted-pair driver pins (TXD+/–,TXP+/–)
are driven LOW, the AUI pins (CI+/–, DI+/–) are driven
HIGH, the LNKST and RXPOL pins are in the inactive
state, and XMT and RCV are LOW. TPEX will remain in
idle as long as PRDN/RST is asserted. Following the
rising edge of the signal on PRDN/RST, TPEX will remain in the reset state for 10 µs.
Test Modes
TPEX implements two types of loopback test modes
suitable for Station (DTE) or Repeater applications.
The Test mode is entered by driving the TEST pin
HIGH. The two types of test modes available are:
1. Station (DTE): SQE TEST pin LOW. Data on DO+/–
pair is transmitted onto the TXD+/– and TXP+/–
pairs and data on the RXD+/– input pair is transmitted onto the DI+/– output pair. The jabber function
and collision detection functions are disabled.
2. Repeater: SQE TEST pin HIGH. Data on DO+/–
pair is looped back onto the DI+/– pair and data on
the RXD+/– pair is retransmitted on the twisted-pair
drivers (TXD+/– and TXP+/– pairs).
Am79C98

In both modes, the jabber circuitry, collision detection,
and collision oscillator functions are disabled and the
AUI and RXD+/– squelch circuits are active.
based MAU. Specifically, the transmitted waveforms
are heavily influenced by filter characteristics and the
twisted-pair receivers employ several criteria to continuously monitor the incoming signal’s amplitude and
timing characteristics to determine when and if to assert the internal carrier sense. For these reasons, it is
crucial that the values and tolerances of the external
components be as specified. Several manufacturers
produce a module that combines the functions of the
transmit and receive filters and the pulse transformers
into one package.
TPEX External Components
Figure 1 shows a typical twisted-pair port external
components schematic. The resistors used should
have a ±1% tolerance to ensure interoperability with
10BASE-T-compliant networks. Filters and pulse transformers are necessary devices that have a major influence on the performance and compliance of a TPEX-

Notes:
1. Parameter not tested.
2. Uses switching test load.
3. DO pulses narrower than tPWODO (min) will be rejected; pulses wider than tPWODO (max) will turn internal DO carrier sense on.
4. DO pulses narrower than tPWKDO (min) will maintain internal DO carrier sense on; pulses wider than tPWKDO (max) will turn
internal DO carrier sense off.
5. RXD pulses narrower than tPWKRD (min) will maintain internal RXD carrier sense on; pulses wider than tPWKRD (max) will turn
internal RXD carrier sense off.
