ETC RTL8130

RTL8100B(L)
2. General Description
The Realtek RTL8100B(L) is a highly integrated, cost-effective single-chip Fast Ethernet controller that provides 32-bit
performance, PCI bus master capability, and full compliance with IEEE 802.3u 100Base-T specifications and IEEE 802.3x Full
Duplex Flow Control. It also supports the Advanced Configuration Power management Interface (ACPI), PCI power management
for modern operating systems that are capable of Operating System Directed Power Management (OSPM) to achieve the most
efficient power management possible. The RTL8100B(L) does not support CardBus mode as the RTL8139C does.
In addition to the ACPI feature, the RTL8100B(L) also supports remote wake-up (including AMD Magic Packet, LinkChg, and
Microsoft® wake-up frame) in both ACPI and APM environments. The RTL8100B(L) is capable of performing an internal reset
through the application of auxiliary power. When auxiliary power is applied and the main power remains off, the RTL8100B(L)
is ready and waiting for the Magic Packet or Link Change to wake the system up. Also, the LWAKE pin provides 4 different
output signals including active high, active low, positive pulse, and negative pulse. The versatility of the RTL8100B(L) LWAKE
pin provides motherboards with Wake-On-LAN (WOL) functionality.
The RTL8100B(L) also supports Analog Auto-Power-down, that is, the analog part of the RTL8100B(L) can be shut down
temporarily according to user requirements or when the RTL8100B(L) is in a power down state with the wakeup function
disabled. In addition, when the analog part is shut down and the IsolateB pin is low (i.e. the main power is off), then both the
analog and digital parts stop functioning and the power consumption of the RTL8100B(L) will be negligible. The RTL8100B(L)
also supports an auxiliary power auto-detect function, and will auto-configure related bits of their own PCI power management
registers in PCI configuration space.
The PCI Vital Product Data(VPD) is also supported to provide the information that uniquely identifies hardware (i.e., the OEM
brand name of RTL8100B(L) LAN card). The information may consist of part number, serial number, and other detailed
information.
To provide cost down support, the RTL8100B(L) is capable of using a 25MHz crystal or OSC as its internal clock source.
The RTL8100B(L) keeps network maintenance costs low and eliminates usage barriers. It is the easiest way to upgrade a
network from 10 to 100Mbps. It also supports full-duplex operation, making 200Mbps bandwidth possible at no additional cost.
To improve compatibility with other brands’ products, the RTL8100B(L) is also capable of receiving packets with
InterFrameGap no less than 40 Bit-Time. The RTL8100B(L) is highly integrated and requires no “glue” logic or external
memory.

Description
Power Management Event: Open drain, active low. Used by the
RTL8100B(L) to request a change in its current power management
state and/or to indicate that a power management event has occurred.
Isolate Pin: Active low. Used to isolate the RTL8100B(L) from the PCI
bus. The RTL8100B(L) does not drive its PCI outputs (excluding
PME#) and does not sample its PCI input (including RST# and
PCICLK) as long as the Isolate pin is asserted.
LAN WAKE-UP Signal: This signal is used to inform the motherboard
to execute the wake-up process. The motherboard must support
Wake-On-LAN (WOL). There are 4 choices of output, including active
high, active low, positive pulse, and negative pulse, that may be asserted
from the LWAKE pin. Please refer to the LWACT bit in the CONFIG1
register and the LWPTN bit in the CONFIG4 register for the setting of
this output signal. The default output is an active high signal.
Once a PME event is received, the LWAKE and PMEB assert at the
same time when the LWPME (bit4, CONFIG4) is set to 0. If the
LWPME is set to 1, the LWAKE asserts only when the PMEB asserts
and the ISOLATEB is low.
This pin is a 3.3V signaling output pin.

Description
PCI Address and Data Multiplexed Pins
PCI bus command and byte enables multiplexed pins.
Clock: This PCI Bus clock provides timing for all transactions and bus
phases, and is input to PCI devices. The rising edge defines the start of
each phase. The clock frequency ranges from 0 to 40MHz. For normal
network operation, the RTL8100B(L) requires a minimum PCI clock
frequency of 16.75MHz.
Device Select: As a bus master, the RTL8100B (L) samples this signal
to insure that a PCI target recognizes the destination address for the data
transfer. As a target, the RTL8100B(L) asserts this signal low when it
recognizes its target address after FRAMEB is asserted.
Cycle Frame: As a bus master, this pin indicates the beginning and
duration of an access. FRAMEB is asserted low to indicate the start of a
bus transaction. While FRAMEB is asserted, data transfer continues.
When FRAMEB is deasserted, the transaction is in the final data phase.
As a target, the device monitors this signal before decoding the address
to check if the current transaction is addressed to it.

Grant: This signal is asserted low to indicate to the RTL8100B(L) that
the central arbiter has granted ownership of the bus to the RTL8100B
(L). This input is used when the RTL8100B(L) is acting as a bus master.
Request: The RTL8100B(L) will assert this signal low to request the
ownership of the bus from the central arbiter.
Initialization Device Select: This pin allows the RTL8100B(L) to
identify when configuration read/write transactions are intended for it.
INTAB: Used to request an interrupt. It is asserted low when an
interrupt condition occurs, as defined by the Interrupt Status, Interrupt
Mask and Interrupt Enable registers.
Initiator Ready: This indicates the initiating agent’s ability to complete
the current data phase of the transaction.
As a bus master, this signal will be asserted low when the
RTL8100B(L) is ready to complete the current data phase transaction.
This signal is used in conjunction with the TRDYB signal. Data
transaction takes place at the rising edge of CLK when both IRDYB and
TRDYB are asserted low. As a target, this signal indicates that the
master has put data on the bus.
Target Ready: This indicates the target agent’s ability to complete the
current phase of the transaction.
As a bus master, this signal indicates that the target is ready for the data
during write operations and with the data during read operations. As a
target, this signal will be asserted low when the (slave) device is ready
to complete the current data phase transaction. This signal is used in
conjunction with the IRDYB signal. Data transaction takes place at the
rising edge of CLK when both IRDYB and TRDYB are asserted low.
Parity: This signal indicates even parity across AD31-0 and C/BE3-0
including the PAR pin. As a master, PAR is asserted during address and
write data phases. As a target, PAR is asserted during read data phases.
Parity Error: When the RTL8100B(L) is the bus master and a parity
error is detected, the RTL8100B(L) asserts both SERR bit in ISR and
Configuration Space command bit 8 (SERRB enable). Next, it
completes the current data burst transaction, then stops operation and
resets itself. After the host clears the system error, the RTL8100B(L)
continues its operation.
When the RTL8100B(L) is the bus target and a parity error is detected,
the RTL8100B(L) asserts this PERRB pin low.
System Error: If an address parity error is detected and Configuration
Space Status register bit 15 (detected parity error) is enabled,
RTL8100B(L) asserts both SERRB pin low and bit 14 of Status register
in Configuration Space.
Stop: Indicates the current target is requesting the master to stop the
current transaction.
Reset: When RSTB is asserted low, the RTL8100B(L) performs
internal system hardware reset. RSTB must be held for a minimum of
120 ns.

Aux. Power Detect: This pin is used to notify the RTL8100B(L) of the
existence of Aux. power during initial power-on or a PCI reset.
This pin should be pulled high to the Aux. power via a resistor to detect
the Aux. power. Doing so, will enable wakeup support from ACPI D3
cold or APM power-down. If this pin is not pulled high, the
RTL8100B(L) assumes that no Aux. power exists.
The MA2-0 pins are switched to EESK, EEDI, EEDO in 93C46
programming or auto-load mode.

Carrier Sense Lost: This bit is set to 1 when the carrier is lost during
transmission of a packet.
Transmit Abort: This bit is set to 1 if the transmission of a packet was
aborted. This bit is read only, writing to this bit is not affected.
Out of Window Collision: This bit is set to 1 if the RTL8100B(L)
encountered an "out of window" collision during the transmission of a
packet.
CD Heart Beat: The NIC watches for a collision signal (ie, CD
Heartbeat signal) during the first 6.4us of the interframe gap following a
transmission. This bit is set if the transceiver fails to send this signal.
This bit is cleared in the 100 Mbps mode.
Number of Collision Count: Indicates the number of collisions
encountered during the transmission of a packet.
Reserved
Early Tx Threshold: Specifies the threshold level in the Tx FIFO to
begin the transmission. When the byte count of the data in the Tx FIFO
reaches this level, (or the FIFO contains at least one complete packet)
the RTL8100B(L) will transmit this packet.
000000 = 8 bytes
These fields count from 000001 to 111111 in unit of 32 bytes.
This threshold must be avoided from exceeding 2K byte.
Transmit OK: Set to 1 indicates that the transmission of a packet was
completed successfully and no transmit underrun has occurred.
Transmit FIFO Underrun: Set to 1 if the Tx FIFO was exhausted
during the transmission of a packet. The RTL8100B(L) can re-transfer
data if the Tx FIFO underruns and can also transmit the packet to the
wire successfully even though the Tx FIFO underruns. That is, when
TSD<TUN>=1, TSD<TOK>=0 and ISR<TOK>=1 (or ISR<TER>=1).
OWN: The RTL8100B(L) sets this bit to 1 when the Tx DMA
operation of this descriptor was completed. The driver must set this bit
to 0 when the Transmit Byte Count (bits 0-12) is written. The default
value is 1.
Descriptor Size: The total size in bytes of the data in this descriptor. If
the packet length is more than 1792 byte (0700h), the Tx queue will be
invalid, i.e. the next descriptor will be written only after the OWN bit of
that long packet's descriptor has been set.

Early Rx Bad packet: This bit is set whenever a packet is completely
received and the packet is bad. Writing a 1 to this bit will clear it.
Early Rx OverWrite: This bit is set when the RTL8100B(L)'s local
address pointer is equal to CAPR. In the early mode, this is different
from buffer overflow. It happens that the RTL8100B(L) detected an Rx
error and wanted to fill another packet data from the beginning address
of that error packet. Writing a 1 to this bit will clear it.
Early Rx OK: The power-on value is 0. It is set when the Rx byte count
of the arriving packet exceeds the Rx threshold. After the whole packet
is received, the RTL8100B(L) will set ROK or RER in ISR and clear
this bit simultaneously. Setting this bit will invoke a ROK interrupt.
5.4 Command Register

Reset: Setting to 1 forces the RTL8100B(L) to a software reset state
which disables the transmitter and receiver, reinitializes the FIFOs,
resets the system buffer pointer to the initial value (Tx buffer is at
TSAD0, Rx buffer is empty). The values of IDR0-5 and MAR0-7 and
PCI configuration space will have no changes. This bit is 1 during the
reset operation, and is cleared to 0 by the RTL8100B(L) when the reset
operation is complete.
Receiver Enable: When set to 1, and the receive state machine is idle,
the receive machine becomes active. This bit will read back as a 1
whenever the receive state machine is active. After initial power-up,
software must insure that the receiver has completely reset before
setting this bit. This bit will be reset after PCI reset deassertion.
Transmitter Enable: When set to 1, and the transmit state machine is
idle, then the transmit state machine becomes active. This bit will read
back as a 1 whenever the transmit state machine is active. After initial
power-up, software must insure that the transmitter has completely reset
before setting this bit. This bit will be reset after PCI reset deassertion.

Rx FIFO Threshold: Specifies Rx FIFO Threshold level. When the
number of the received data bytes from a packet, which is being received
into the RTL8100B(L)'s Rx FIFO, has reached to this level (or the FIFO
has contained a complete packet), the receive PCI bus master function
will begin to transfer the data from the FIFO to the host memory. This

010 = 64 bytes
011 = 128 bytes
100 = 256 bytes
101 = 512 bytes
110 = 1024 bytes
111 = No Rx threshold. The RTL8100B(L) begins the transfer of data
after having received a whole packet in the FIFO.
Rx Buffer Length: This field indicates the size of the Rx ring buffer.

01 = 16k + 16 byte
10 = 32K + 16 byte

011 = 128 bytes
100 = 256 bytes
101 = 512 bytes
110 = 1024 bytes

When set to 0: The RTL8100B(L) will transfer the rest of the packet data into
the beginning of the Rx buffer if this packet has not been completely moved
into the Rx buffer and the transfer has arrived at the end of the Rx buffer.
When set to 1: The RTL8100B(L) will keep moving the rest of the packet
data into the memory immediately after the end of the Rx buffer, if this
packet has not been completely moved into the Rx buffer and the transfer
has arrived at the end of the Rx buffer. The software driver must reserve at
least 1.5K bytes buffer to accept the remainder of the packet. We assume
that the remainder of the packet is X bytes. The next packet will be moved
into the memory from the X byte offset at the top of the Rx buffer.
This bit is invalid when Rx buffer is selected to 64K bytes.

Gnt Select: Select the Frame’s asserted time after the Grant signal has
been asserted. The Frame and Grant are the PCI signals.
1: delay one clock from GNT assertion.
0: No delay
Parameter Enable: (Used in 100Mbps mode only)
This set to 0 and the 9346CR register EEM1=EEM0=1 will enable the
PHY1_PARM, PHY2_PARM, and TW_PARM registers to be written via
software.
This set to 1 will allow parameters to be auto-loaded from the 93C46
and disable writing to the PHY1_PARM, PHY2_PARM and
TW_PARM registers via software.
The PHY1_PARM and PHY2_PARM can be auto-loaded from the
EEPROM in this mode. The parameter auto-load process is executed
every time the Link is OK in 100Mbps mode.
Magic Packet: This bit is valid when the PWEn bit of the CONFIG1
register is set. The RTL8100B(L) will assert the PMEB signal to
wakeup the operating system when the Magic Packet is received.
Once the RTL8100B(L) has been enabled for Magic Packet wakeup
and has been put into adequate state, it scans all incoming packets
addressed to the node for a specific data sequence, which indicates to
the controller that this is a Magic Packet frame. A Magic Packet frame
must also meet the basic requirements of:
Destination address + Source address + data + CRC
The destination address may be the node ID of the receiving station or a
multicast address, which includes the broadcast address.
The specific sequence consists of 16 duplications of 6 byte ID registers,
with no breaks or interrupts. This sequence can be located anywhere
within the packet, but must be preceded by a synchronization stream, 6
bytes of FFh. The device will also accept a multicast address, as long as
the 16 duplications of the IEEE address match the address of the ID
registers.
If the Node ID is 11h 22h 33h 44h 55h 66h, then the magic frame’s
format is similar to the following:
Destination address + source address + MISC + FF FF FF FF FF FF +
MISC + 11 22 33 44 55 66 + 11 22 33 44 55 66 + 11 22 33 44 55 66 +

44 55 66 + 11 22 33 44 55 66 + 11 22 33 44 55 66 + MISC + CRC
Link Up: This bit is valid when the PWEn bit of CONFIG1 register is
set. The RTL8100B(L), in adequate power state, will assert the PMEB
signal to wakeup the operating system when the cable connection is
re-established.

Set to 0: The RTL8100B(L) supports up to 8 wake-up frames, each
with masked bytes selected from offset 12 to 75.
Set to 1: The RTL8100B(L) supports up to 5 wake-up frames, each
with 16-bit CRC algorithm for MS Wakeup Frame, the low byte of
16-bit CRC should be placed at the correspondent CRC register, and
the high byte of 16-bit CRC should be placed at the correspondent
LSBCRC register. The wake-up frame 0 and 1 are the same as above,
except that the masked bytes start from offset 0 to 63. The wake-up
frame 2 and 3 are merged into one long wake-up frame respectively
with masked bytes selected from offset 0 to 127. The wake-up frame 4
and 5, 6 and 7 are merged respectively into another 2 long wake-up
frames. Please refer to 7.4 PCI Power Management functions for a
detailed description.

If the received packet data is not a familiar protocol (IPX, IP, NDIS, etc.) to the RTL8100B(L), RCR<ERTH[3:0]> will not be
used to transfer data in early mode. This register will be written to the received data length in order to make an early Rx interrupt

Multiple Interrupt Select: Indicates that the RTL8100B(L) makes an
Rx interrupt after RTL8100B(L) has transferred the byte data into the
system memory. If the value of these bits is zero, there will be no early
interrupt as soon as the RTL8100B(L) prepares to execute the first PCI
transaction of the received data. Bit1, 0 must be zero.
The ERTH3-0 bits should not be set to 0 when the multiple interrupt
select register is used.
The above is true when MulERINT=0 (bit17, RCR). When MulERINT=1, any received packet invokes early interrupt
according to MISR[11:0] setting in early mode.

Bits 7-6 map to bits 7-6 of the Media Status register (MSR); Bits 5, 4, 0 map to bits 13,
12, 8 of the Basic Mode Control register (BMCR); Bits 3-2 are reserved. If the network
speed is set to Auto-Detect mode (i.e. Nway mode), then Bit 1=0 means the local
RTL8100B(L) supports flow control (IEEE 802.3x). In this case, Bit 10=1 in the
Auto-negotiation Advertisement Register (offset 66h-67h), and Bit 1=1 means the local
RTL8100B(L) does not support flow control. In this case, Bit 10=0 in Auto-negotiation

control pause packets for no reason, if the link partner supports Nway flow control.

Fast Back-To-Back Enable: Config3<FBtBEn>=0:Read as 0. Write operation has no effect. The
RTL8100B(L) will not generate Fast Back-to-back cycles. When Config3<FbtBEn>=1, This read/write
bit controls whether or not a master can do fast back-to-back transactions to different devices.
Initialization software will set the bit if all targets are fast back-to-back capable. A value of 1 means the
master is allowed to generate fast back-to-back transaction to different agents. A value of 0 means fast
back-to-back transactions are only allowed to the same agent. This bit’s state after RST# is 0.
SERREN
System Error Enable: When set to 1, the RTL8100B(L) asserts the SERRB pin when it detects a
parity error on the address phase (AD<31:0> and CBEB<3:0> ).
ADSTEP
Address/Data Stepping: Read as 0, write operation has no effect. The RTL8100B(L) never performs
address/data stepping.
PERRSP
Parity Error Response: When set to 1, RTL8100B(L) will assert the PERRB pin on the detection of
a data parity error when acting as the target, and will sample the PERRB pin as the master. When set to
0, any detected parity error is ignored and the RTL8100B(L) continues normal operation.
Parity checking is disabled after hardware reset (RSTB).
VGASNOOP VGA palette SNOOP: Read as 0, write operation has no effect.
MWIEN
Memory Write and Invalidate cycle Enable: Read as 0, write operation has no effect.
SCYCEN Special Cycle Enable: Read as 0, write operation has no effect. The RTL8100B(L) ignores all special
cycle operation.
BMEN
Bus Master Enable: When set to 1, the RTL8100B(L) is capable of acting as a bus master. When set
to 0, it is prohibited from acting as a PCI bus master.
For the normal operation, this bit must be set by the system BIOS.
MEMEN
Memory Space Access: When set to 1, the RTL8100B(L) responds to memory space accesses. When
set to 0, the RTL8100B(L) ignores memory space accesses.
IOEN
I/O Space Access: When set to 1, the RTL8100B(L) responds to IO space access. When set to 0, the
RTL8100B(L) ignores I/O space accesses.

with master abort. Writing a 1 clears this bit to 0.
12
RTABT Received Target Abort: When set indicates that the RTL8100B(L) master transaction was terminated
due to a target abort. Writing a 1 clears this bit to 0.
11
STABT Signaled Target Abort: Set to 1 whenever the RTL8100B(L) terminates a transaction with target abort.
Writing a 1 clears this bit to 0.
10-9

Data Parity error Detected:
This bit sets when the following conditions are met:
☼ The RTL8100B(L) asserts parity error(PERRB pin) or it senses the assertion of PERRB pin by another
device.
☼ The RTL8100B(L) operates as a bus master for the operation that caused the error.
☼ The Command register PERRSP bit is set.
Writing a 1 clears this bit to 0.

RID: Revision ID Register
The Revision ID register is an 8-bit register that specifies the RTL8100B(L) controller revision number.
PIFR: Programming Interface Register
The programming interface register is an 8-bit register that identifies the programming interface of the RTL8100B(L)
controller. Because the PCI version 2.1 specification does not define any specific value for network devices, PIFR = 00h.
SCR: Sub-Class Register
The Sub-class register is an 8-bit register that identifies the function of the RTL8100B(L). SCR = 00h indicates that the
RTL8100B(L) is an Ethernet controller.
BCR: Base-Class Register
The Base-class register is an 8-bit register that broadly classifies the function of the RTL8100B(L). BCR = 02h indicates
that the RTL8100B(L) is a network controller.
CLS: Cache Line Size
Reads will return a 0, writes are ignored.
LTR: Latency Timer Register
Specifies, in units of PCI bus clocks, the value of the latency timer of the RTL8100B(L).
When the RTL8100B(L) asserts FRAMEB, it enables its latency timer to count. If the RTL8100B(L) deasserts FRAMEB
prior to count expiration, the content of the latency timer is ignored. Otherwise, after the count expires, the RTL8100B(L)
initiates transaction termination as soon as its GNTB is deasserted. Software is able to read or write, and the default value is
00H.
HTR: Header Type Register
Reads will return a 0, writes are ignored.

RTL8100B(L)
7.4 PCI Power Management Functions
The RTL8100B(L) is compliant to ACPI (Rev 1.1), PCI Power Management (Rev 1.1), and Device Class Power Management
Reference Specification (V1.0a), such as to support an OS Directed Power Management (OSPM) environment. To support this,
the RTL8100B(L) provides the following capabilities:
The RTL8100B(L) can monitor the network for a Wakeup Frame, a Magic Packet, or a Link Change, and notify the
system via PME# when such a packet or event arrives. Then, the whole system can be restored to a working state to
process the incoming jobs.
The RTL8100B(L) can be isolated from the PCI bus automatically with the auxiliary power circuit when the PCI bus is
in B3 state, i.e. the power on the PCI bus is removed. When the motherboard includes a built-in RTL8100B(L)
single-chip fast Ethernet controller, the RTL8100B(L) can be disabled when needed by pulling the isolate pin low to 0V.
When the RTL8100B(L) is in power down mode (D1 ~ D3),
♦
The Rx state machine is stopped, and the RTL8100B(L) keeps monitoring the network for wakeup event such Magic
Packet, Wakeup Frame, and/or Link Change, in order to wake up the system. When in power down mode, the
RTL8100B(L) will not reflect the status of any incoming packets in the ISR register and will not receive any packets into
the Rx FIFO.
♦
The FIFO status and the packets which are already contained in the Rx FIFO before entering power down mode are kept
by the RTL8100B(L) during power down mode.
♦
The transmission is stopped. The action of PCI bus master mode is stopped as well. The Tx FIFO is kept.
♦
After restoration to D0 state, the PCI bus master mode continues to transfer the data, which is not yet moved into the Tx
FIFO from the last break. The packet that was not transmitted completely last time is transmitted again.
D3cold_support_PME bit(bit15, PMC register) & Aux_I_b2:0 (bit8:6, PMC register) in PCI configuration space.
If 9346 D3cold_support_PME bit(bit15, PMC) = 1, the above 4 bits depend on the existence of Aux power.
If 9346 D3cold_support_PME bit(bit15, PMC) = 0, the above 4 bits are all 0's.
Ex.:
1. If 9346 D3c_support_PME = 1,
If Aux. power exists, then PMC in PCI config space is the same as 9346 PMC, i.e. if 9346 PMC = C2 F7,
then PCI PMC = C2 F7.
Aux. power is absent, then PMC in PCI config space is the same as 9346 PMC except the above 4 bits are
all 0’s. I.e. if 9346 PMC = C2 F7, the PCI PMC = 02 76.
In this case, if wakeup support is desired when the main power is off, it is suggested that the
EEPROM PMC be set to: C2 F7 (Realtek default value). It is not recommended to set the
D0_support_PME bit to “1”.
2. If 9346 D3c_support_PME = 0,
Aux. power exists, then PMC in PCI config space is the same as 9346 PMC. I.e. if 9346 PMC = C2 77,
then PCI PMC = C2 77.
Aux. power is absent, then PMC in PCI config space is the same as 9346 PMC except the above 4 bits are
all 0’s. I.e. if 9346 PMC = C2 77, the PCI PMC = 02 76.
In this case, if wakeup support is not desired when the main power is off, it is suggested that the
9346 PMC to be 02 76. It is not recommended to set the D0_support_PME bit to “1”.
Link Wakeup occurs only when the following conditions are met:
♦
The LinkUp bit (CONFIG3#4) is set to 1, the PMEn bit (CONFIG1#0) is set to 1, and the RTL8100B(L) is in isolation
state, or the PME# can be asserted in current power state.
♦
The Link status is re-established.
Magic Packet Wakeup occurs only when the following conditions are met:
♦
The destination address of the received Magic Packet matches.
♦
The received Magic Packet does not contain a CRC error.

Rev.1.41
RTL8100B(L)
♦
The Magic bit (CONFIG3#5) is set to 1, the PMEn bit (CONFIG1#0) is set to 1, and the RTL8100B(L) is in isolation
state, or the PME# can be asserted in current power state.
♦
The Magic Packet pattern matches, i.e. 6 * FFh + MISC(can be none)+ 16 * DID(Destination ID) in any part of a valid
(Fast) Ethernet packet.
Wakeup Frame event occurs only when the following conditions are met:
♦
The destination address of the received Wakeup Frame matches.
♦
The received Wakeup Frame does not contain a CRC error.
♦
The PMEn bit (CONFIG1#0) is set to 1.
The 8-bit CRC* (or 16-bit CRC) of the received Wakeup Frame matches with the 8-bit CRC* (or 16-bit CRC) of the
sample Wakeup Frame pattern received from the local machine’s OS.
The last masked byte** of the received Wakeup Frame matches with the last masked byte** of the sample Wakeup Frame
pattern provided by the local machine’s OS. (In Long Wakeup Frame mode, the last masked byte field is replaced with
the high byte of the 16-bit CRC.)
8-bit CRC:
This 8-bit CRC logic is used to generate an 8-bit CRC from the masked bytes of the received Wakeup Frame packet
within offset 12 to 75. Software should calculate the 8-bit Power Management CRC for each specific sample wakeup
frame and store the calculated CRC in the corresponding CRC register for the RTL8100B(L) to check if there is a
Wakeup Frame packet coming in.
16-bit CRC: (Long Wakeup Frame mode, the mask bytes cover from offset 0 to 127)
Long Wakeup Frame: The RTL8100B(L) also supports 3 long Wakeup Frames. If the range of mask bytes of the
sample Wakeup Frame, passed down by the OS to the driver, exceeds the range from offset 12 to 75, the related
registers of wakeup frame 2 and 3 can be merged to support one long wakeup frame by setting the LongWF (bit0,
CONFIG4). Thus, the range of effective mask bytes extends from offset 0 to 127. The low byte and high byte of the
calculated 16-bit CRC should be put into register CRC2 and LSBCRC2 respectively. The mask bytes (16 bytes)
should be stored to register Wakeup2 and Wakeup3. The CRC3 and LSBCRC3 have no meaning in this case and
should be reset to 0. Long Wakeup Frame pairs are frames 4 and 5, and frames 6 and 7. The CRC5, CRC7,
LSBCRC5, and LSBCRC7 have no meaning in this case and should be reset to 0, if the RTL8100B(L) is set to
support long Wakeup Frames. In this case, the RTL8100B(L) support 5 wakeup frames, that are 2 normal wakeup
frames and 3 long wakeup frames.
** last masked byte:
The last byte of the masked bytes of the received Wakeup Frame packet within offset 12 to 75 (in 8-bit CRC
mode) should match the last byte of the masked bytes of the sample Wakeup Frame provided by the local
machine’s OS.
The PME# signal is asserted only when the following conditions are met:
The PMEn bit (bit0, CONFIG1) is set to 1.
The PME_En bit (bit8, PMCSR) in PCI Configuration Space is set to 1.
The RTL8100B(L) may assert PME# in current power state, or the RTL8100B(L) is in isolation state. Refer to
PME_Support(bit15-11) of the PMC register in PCI Configuration Space.
Magic Packet, LinkUp, or Wakeup Frame has occurred.
* Writing a 1 to the PME_Status (bit15) of PMCSR register in the PCI Configuration Space will clear this bit and cause
the RTL8100B(L) to stop asserting a PME# (if enabled).
When the RTL8100B(L) is in power down mode, ex. D1-D3, the IO, and MEM are all disabled. After RST# asserted, the power
state must be changed to D0 if the original power state is D3cold. There is no hardware enforced delays at RTL8100B(L)’s power
state. When in ACPI mode, the RTL8100B(L) does not support PME from D0 (owing to the setting of PMC register. This setting
comes from EEPROM).

RTL8100B(L)
The RTL8100B(L) also supports the LAN WAKE-UP function. The LWAKE pin is used to notify the motherboard to execute
the wake-up process whenever the RTL8100B(L) receives a wakeup event, such as Magic Packet.
The LWAKE signal is asserted according the following setting:
LWPME bit (bit4, CONFIG4):
0: The LWAKE is asserted whenever there is wakeup event occurs.
1: The LWAKE can only be asserted when the PMEB is asserted and the ISOLATEB is low.
Bit1 of DELAY byte(offset 1Fh, EEPROM):
0: LWAKE signal is disabled.
1: LWAKE signal is enabled
7.5 VPD (Vital Product Data)
Bit 31 of the VPD is used to issue VPD read/write commands and is also a flag used to indicate whether the transfer of data
between the VPD data register and the 93C46 is completed or not.
1.
Write VPD register: (write data to 93C46)
Write the flag bit to a one at the same time the VPD address is written. When the flag bit is set to zero by the RTL8100B(L),
the VPD data (all 4 bytes) has been transferred from the VPD data register to the 93C46.
2.
Read VPD register: (read data from 93C46)
Write the flag bit to a zero at the same time the VPD address is written. When the flag bit is set to one by the RTL8100B(L),
the VPD data (all 4 bytes) has been transferred from 93C46 to the VPD data register.

RTL8100B(L)
9. Functional Description
9.1 Transmit operation
The host CPU initiates a transmit by storing an entire packet of data in one of the descriptors in the main memory. When the
entire packet has been transferred to the Tx buffer, the RTL8100B(L) is instructed to move the data from the Tx buffer to the
internal transmit FIFO in PCI bus master mode. When the transmit FIFO contains a complete packet or is filled to the
programmed threshold level, the RTL8100B(L) begins packet transmission.
9.2 Receive operation
The incoming packet is placed in the RTL8100B(L)'s Rx FIFO. Concurrently, the RTL8100B(L) performs address filtering of
multicast packets according to its hash algorithms. When the amount of data in the Rx FIFO reaches the level defined in the
Receive Configuration Register, the RTL8100B(L) requests the PCI bus to begin transferring the data to the Rx buffer in PCI bus
master mode.
9.3 Wander Compensation
The 8100B(L) is ANSI TP-PMD compliant and supports input and Base Line Wander (BLW) compensation in 100Base-TX mode.
The 8100B(L) does not require external attenuation circuitry at its receive inputs, RD+/-. It accepts TP-PMD compliant waveforms
directly, requiring only a 100Ω termination and a 1:1 transformer.
BLW is the change in the average DC content, over time, of an AC coupled digital transmission over a given transmission medium.
BLW is a result from the interaction between the low frequency components of a transmitted bit stream and the frequency response of
the AC coupling component(s) within the transmission system. If the low frequency content of the digital bit stream goes below the
low frequency pole of the AC coupling transformers, then the droop characteristics of the transformers will dominate resulting in
potentially serious BLW. If BLW is not compensated, packet loss can occur.
9.4 Signal Detect
The 8100B(L) supports signal detect in 100Base-TX mode. Therefore, the reception of normal 10Base-T link pulses and fast link
pulses defined by IEEE 802.3u Auto-negotiation by the 100Base-TX receiver do not cause the 8100B(L) to assert signal detect.
The signal detect function of the 8100B(L) is incorporated to meet the specifications mandated by the ANSI FDDI TP-PMD standard
as well as the IEEE 802.3 100Base-TX standard for both voltage thresholds and timing parameters.
9.5 Line Quality Monitor
The line quality monitor function is available in 100Base-TX mode. It is possible to determine the amount of Equalization being used
by accessing certain test registers with the DSP engine. This provides a crude indication of connected cable length. This function
allows for a quick and simple verification of the line quality in that any significant deviation from an expected register value (based on
a known cable length) would indicate that the signal quality has deviated from the expected nominal case.
9.6 Clock Recovery Module
The Clock Recovery Module (CRM) is supported in 100Base-TX mode. The CRM accepts 125Mb/s MLT3 data from the equalizer.
The DPLL locks onto the 125Mb/s data stream and extracts a 125MHz recovered clock. The extracted and synchronized clock and
data are used as required by the synchronous receive operations.
9.7 Loopback Operation
Loopback mode is normally used to verify that the logic operations up to the Ethernet cable function correctly. In loopback mode for
100Mbps, the RTL8100B(L) takes frames from the transmit descriptor and transmits them up to internal Twister logic.

RTL8100B(L)
9.8 Tx Encapsulation
While operating in 100Base-TX mode, the RTL8100B(L) encapsulates the frames that it transmits according to the 4B/5B
code-groups table. The changes of the original packet data are listed as follows :
1. The first byte of the preamble in the MAC frame is replaced with the JK symbol pair.
2. After the CRC, the TR symbol pair is inserted.
9.9 Collision
If the RTL8100B(L) is not in full-duplex mode, a collision event occurs when the receive input is not idle while the
RTL8100B(L) transmits. If the collision was detected during the preamble transmission, the jam pattern is transmitted after
completing the preamble (including the JK symbol pair).
9.10 Rx Decapsulation
The RTL8100B(L) continuously monitors the network when reception is enabled. When activity is recognized it starts to process
the incoming data.
After detecting receive activity on the line, the RTL8100B(L) starts to process the preamble bytes based on the mode of
operation.
While operating in 100Base-Tx mode, the RTL8100B(L) expects the frame to start with the symbol pair JK in the first bye of the
8-byte preamble.
The RTL8100B(L) checks the CRC bytes and checks if the packet data ends with the TR symbol pair, if not, the RTL8100B(L)
reports an CRC error RSR.
The RTL8100B(L) reports a RSR<CRC> error in any of the following cases :
1. In the 100Base-Tx mode, one of the following occur.
a. An invalid symbol (4B/5B Table) is received in the middle of the frame.
RSR<ISE> bit also sets.
b. The frame does not end with the TR symbol pair.
9.11 Flow Control
The RTL8100B(L) supports IEEE802.3X flow control to improve performance in full-duplex mode. It detects PAUSE packets
to achieve flow control tasks.
9.11.1. Control Frame Transmission
When the RTL8100B(L) detects that its free receive buffer is less than 3K bytes, it sends a PAUSE packet with
pause_time(=FFFFh) to inform the source station to stop transmission for the specified period of time. After the driver has
processed the packets in the receive buffer and updated the boundary pointer, the RTL8100B(L) sends the other PAUSE packet
with pause_time(=0000h) to wake up the source station to restart transmission.
9.11.2. Control Frame Reception
The RTL8100B(L) enters a back off state for a specified period of time when it receives a valid PAUSE packet with
pause_time(=n). If the PAUSE packet is received while the RTL8100B(L) is transmitting, the RTL8100B(L) starts to back off
after current transmission completes. The RTL8100B(L) is free to transmit the next packets when it receives a valid PAUSE
packet with pause_time(=0000h) or the backoff timer(=n*512 bit time) elapses.
Note: The PAUSE operation cannot be used to inhibit transmission of MAC Control frames (e.g. PAUSE packet). The N-way
flow control capability can be disabled, please refer to Section 6. EEPROM (93C46) Contents for a detailed description.
