DP8392C/DP8392C-1 CTI
Coaxial Transceiver Interface
General Description
Features
The DP8392C Coaxial Transceiver Interface (CTI) is a coaxial cable line driver/receiver for Ethernet/Thin Ethernet
(Cheapernet) type local area networks. The CTI is connected between the coaxial cable and the Data Terminal Equipment (DTE). In Ethernet applications the transceiver is usually mounted within a dedicated enclosure and is connected
to the DTE via a transceiver cable. In Cheapernet applications, the CTI is typically located within the DTE and connects to the DTE through isolation transformers only. The
CTI consists of a Receiver, Transmitter, Collision Detector,
and a Jabber Timer. The Transmitter connects directly to a
50 ohm coaxial cable where it is used to drive the coax
when transmitting. During transmission, a jabber timer is initiated to disable the CTI transmitter in the event of a longer
than legal length data packet. Collision Detection circuitry
monitors the signals on the coax to determine the presence
of colliding packets and signals the DTE in the event of a
collision.
The CTI is part of a three chip set that implements the complete IEEE 802.3 compatible network node electronics as
shown below. The other two chips are the DP8391 Serial
Network Interface (SNI) and the DP8390 Network Interface
Controller (NIC).
The SNI provides the Manchester encoding and decoding
functions; whereas the NIC handles the Media Access Protocol and the buffer management tasks. Isolation between
the CTI and the SNI is an IEEE 802.3 requirement that can
be easily satisfied on signal lines using a set of pulse transformers that come in a standard DIP. However, the power
isolation for the CTI is done by DC-to-DC conversion
through a power transformer.

3.0 Functional Description
Receiver then stays off only if within about 1 ms, the DC
level from the low pass filter rises above the DC squelch
threshold. Figure 2 illustrates the Receiver timing.
The differential line driver provides ECL compatible signals
to the DTE with typically 3 ns rise and fall times. In its idle
state, its outputs go to differential zero to prevent DC standing current in the isolation transformer.
The CTI consists of four main logical blocks:
a) the Receiver - receives data from the coax and sends it
to the DTE
b) the Transmitter - accepts data from the DTE and transmits it onto the coax
c) the Collision Detect circuitry - indicates to the DTE any
collision on the coax
d) the Jabber Timer - disables the Transmitter in case of
longer than legal length packets
3.2 TRANSMITTER FUNCTIONS
The Transmitter has a differential input and an open collector output current driver. The differential input common
mode voltage is established by the CTI and should not be
altered by external circuitry. The transformer coupling of
TX g will satisfy this condition. The driver meets all IEEE
802.3/Ethernet Specifications for signal levels. Controlled
rise and fall times (25 ns V g 5 ns) minimize the higher
harmonic components. The rise and fall times are matched
to minimize jitter. The drive current levels of the DP8392C
meet the tighter recommended limits of IEEE 802.3 and are
set by a built-in bandgap reference and an external 1% resistor. An on chip isolation diode is provided to reduce the
Transmitter’s coax load capacitance. For Ethernet compatible applications, an external isolation diode (see Figure 4 )
may be added to further reduce coax load capacitance. In
Cheapernet compatible applications the external diode is
not required as the coax capacitive loading specifications
are relaxed.
The Transmitter squelch circuit rejects signals with pulse
widths less than typically 20 ns (negative going), or with
levels less than b175 mV. The Transmitter turns off at the
end of the packet if the signal stays higher than b175 mV
for more than approximately 300 ns. Figure 3 illustrates the
Transmitter timing.
3.1 RECEIVER FUNCTIONS
The Receiver includes an input buffer, a cable equalizer, a
4-pole Bessel low pass filter, a squelch circuit, and a differential line driver.
The buffer provides high input impedance and low input capacitance to minimize loading and reflections on the coax.
The equalizer is a high pass filter which compensates for
the low pass effect of the cable. The composite result of the
maximum length cable and the equalizer is a flatband response at the signal frequencies to minimize jitter.
The 4-pole Bessel low pass filter extracts the average DC
level on the coax, which is used by both the Receiver
squelch and the collision detection circuits.
The Receiver squelch circuit prevents noise on the coax
from falsely triggering the Receiver in the absence of the
signal. At the beginning of the packet, the Receiver turns on
when the DC level from the low pass filter is lower than the
DC squelch threshold. However, at the end of the packet, a
quick Receiver turn off is needed to reject dribble bits. This
is accomplished by an AC timing circuit that reacts to high
level signals of greater than typically 200 ns in duration. The

3.3 COLLISION FUNCTIONS
The collision circuitry consists of two buffers, two 4-pole
Bessel low pass filters (section 3.1), a comparator, a heartbeat generator, a 10 MHz oscillator, and a differential line
driver.
Two identical buffers and 4-pole Bessel low pass filters extract the DC level on the center conductor (data) and the
shield (sense) of the coax. These levels are monitored by
the comparator. If the data level is more negative than the
sense level by at least the collision threshold (Vth), the collision output is enabled.
At the end of every transmission, the heartbeat generator
creates a pseudo collision for a short time to ensure that the
collision circuitry is properly functioning. This burst on collision output occurs typically 1.1 ms after the transmission,
and has a duration of about 1 ms. This function can be disabled externally with the HBE (Heartbeat Enable) pin to allow operation with repeaters.
The 10 MHz oscillator generates the signal for the collision
and heartbeat functions. It is also used as the timebase for
all the jabber functions. It does not require any external
components.
The collision differential line driver transfers the 10 MHz signal to the CD g pair in the event of collision, jabber, or
heartbeat conditions. This line driver also features zero differential idle state.
3.4 JABBER FUNCTIONS
The Jabber Timer monitors the Transmitter and inhibits
transmission if the Transmitter is active for longer than
20 ms (fault). It also enables the collision output for the fault
duration. After the fault is removed, The Jabber Timer waits
for about 500 ms (unjab time) before re-enabling the Transmitter. The transmit input must stay inactive during the unjab
time.

Collision Output. Balanced differential line driver outputs from the collision detect
circuitry. The 10 MHz signal from the internal oscillator is transferred to these
outputs in the event of collision, excessive transmission (jabber), or during CD
Heartbeat condition. These outputs are open emitters; pulldown resistors to VEE
are required. When operating into a 78X transmission line, these resistors should
be 500X. In Cheapernet applications, where the 78X drop cable is not used,
higher resistor values (up to 1.5k) may be used to save power.

2. The power supply layout to the CTI should be relatively
clean. Usually the CTI’s power is supplied directly by a
DC-DC converter. The power should be routed either
through separate isolated planes, or via thick PCB traces.
For the second consideration, the packaged DP8392 must
have a thermal resistance of 40§ C –45§ C/W to meet the full
0§ C –70§ C temperature range. The CTI dissipates more
power when transmitting than while it is idle. In order to do
this the thermal resistance of the device must be 40§ C –
45§ C/W. To meet this requirement during transmission, it is
recommended that a small printed circuit board plane be
connected to all VEE pins on the solder side of the PCB.
The size of the trace plane depends on the package used
and the duty cycle of transmissions. For the DIP package
the plane should be connected to pins 4 – 5, 13, and the size
should be approximately 0.2 square inches for applications
where the duty cycle of the transmitter is very low ( k10%).
This would be typical of adapter or motherboard applications. In applications where the transmitter duty cycle may
be large (repeaters and external transceivers) the total area
should be increased to 0.4 in2. Figure 6 illustrates a recommended component side layout for these planes.
6.1 P.C. BOARD LAYOUT
The DP8392C package is uniquely designed to ensure that
the device meets the 1 million hour Mean Time Between
Failure (MTBF) requirement of the IEEE 802.3 standard. In
order to fully utilize this heat dissipation design, the three
VEE pins are to be connected to a copper plane which
should be included in the printed circuit board layout.
There are two basic considerations in designing a PCB for
the DP8392C and C-1 CTI. The first is ensuring that the
layout does not degrade the electrical characteristics of the
DP8392, and enables the end product to meet the IEEE
802.3 specifications. The second consideration is meeting
the thermal requirements to the DP8392.
Since the DP8392 is highly integrated the layout is actually
quite simple, and there are just a few guidelines:
1. Ensure that the parasitic capacitance added to the RXI
and TXO pins is minimized. To do this keep these signal
traces short, and remove any power planes under these
signals, and under any components that connect to these
signals. Figure 6 shows the component placement for the
DIP package. The PLCC component placement would be
similar, as shown in Figure 7 .

6.0 Pin Descriptions (Continued)
For the PLCC packaged DP8392, it is recommended that a
small printed circuit board VEE plane be connected to pins
5 – 11, and a second one be connected to pins 20–25. To
reduce the thermal resistance to the required value, the
area of the plane on EACH set of pins should be t0.20 in2
for applications with low transmitter duty cycle, and t0.4 in2
for high transmit duty cycle applications. Figure 7 illustrates
a recommended component side layout for these planes.
