KS8721BL/SL
3.3V Single Power Supply 10/100BASE-TX/FX
MII Physical Layer Transceiver
Rev. 1.3
General Description
Features
Operating with a 2.5V core to meet low-voltage and lowpower requirements, the KS8721BL and KS8721SL are
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/FX Physical Layer Transceivers
that use MII and RMII interfaces to transmit and receive
data. They contain 10BASE-T Physical Medium
Attachment (PMA), Physical Medium Dependent (PMD),
and Physical Coding Sub-layer (PCS) functions. The
KS8721BL/SL also have on-chip 10BASE-T output
filtering. This eliminates the need for external filters and
allows a single set of line magnetics to be used to meet
requirements for both 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T.
The KS8721BL/SL automatically configure themselves
for 100 or 10Mbps and full- or half-duplex operation,
using an on-chip auto-negotiation algorithm. They are the
ideal physical layer transceiver for 100BASE-TX/
10BASE-T applications.

Functional Description
100BASE-TX Transmit
The 100BASE-TX transmit function performs parallel to serial conversion, NRZ-to-NRZI conversion, and MLT-3
encoding and transmission. The circuitry starts with a parallel to serial conversion that converts the 25MHz, 4-bit
nibbles into a 125MHz serial bit stream. The incoming data is clocked in at the positive edge of the TXC signal. The
serialized data is further converted from NRZ to NRZI format, and then transmitted in MLT3 current output. The output
current is set by an external 1% 6.49kΩ resistor for the 1:1 transformer ratio. Its typical rise/fall time of 4ns complies
with the ANSI TP-PMD standard regarding amplitude balance, overshoot, and timing jitter. The wave-shaped 10BASET output driver is also incorporated into the 100BASE-TX driver.
100BASE-TX Receive
The 100BASE-TX receive function performs adaptive equalization, DC restoration, MLT-3 to NRZI conversion, data and
clock recovery, NRZI-to-NRZ conversion, and serial-to-parallel conversion. The receiving side starts with the
equalization filter to compensate inter-symbol interference (ISI) over the twisted pair cable. Since the amplitude loss
and phase distortion are a function of the length of the cable, the equalizer has to adjust its characteristic to optimize
performance. In this design, the variable equalizer will make an initial estimation based on comparisons of incoming
signal strength against some known cable characteristics, then tunes itself for optimization. This is an ongoing process
and can self-adjust for environmental changes such as temperature variations.
The equalized signal then goes through a DC restoration and data conversion block. The DC restoration circuit is used
to compensate for the effects of base line wander and improve dynamic range. The differential data conversion circuit
converts the MLT3 format back to NRZI. The slicing threshold is also adaptive.
The clock recovery circuit extracts the 125MHz clock from the edges of the NRZI signal. This recovered clock is then
used to convert the NRZI signal into the NRZ format. Finally, the NRZ serial data is converted to 4-bit parallel 4B
nibbles. A synchronized 25MHz RXC is generated so that the 4B nibbles are clocked out at the negative edge of
RCK25 and is valid for the receiver at the positive edge. When no valid data is present, the clock recovery circuit is
locked to the 25MHz reference clock and both TXC and RXC clocks continue to run.
PLL Clock Synthesizer
The KS8721BL/SL generates 125MHz, 25MHz, and 20MHz clocks for system timing. An internal crystal oscillator circuit
provides the reference clock for the synthesizer.
Scrambler/De-scrambler (100BASE-TX only)
The purpose of the scrambler is to spread the power spectrum of the signal in order to reduce electromagnetic
interference (EMI) and baseline wander.
10BASE-T Transmit
When TXEN (transmit enable) goes high, data encoding and transmission begins. The KS8721BL/SL continues to
encode and transmit data as long as TXEN remains high. The data transmission ends when TXEN goes low. The last
transition occurs at the boundary of the bit cell if the last bit is zero, or at the center of the bit cell if the last bit is one.
The output driver is incorporated into the 100BASE-T driver to allow transmission with the same magnetics. They are
internally wave-shaped and pre-emphasized into outputs with typical 2.5V amplitude. The harmonic contents are at
least 27dB below the fundamental when driven by all-ones, Manchester-encoded signal.
10BASE-T Receive
On the receive side, input buffer and level detecting squelch circuits are employed. A differential input receiver circuit
and a PLL performs the decoding function. The Manchester-encoded data stream is separated into clock signal and
NRZ data. A squelch circuit rejects signals with levels less than 300mV or with short pulse widths in order to prevent
noise at the RX+ or RX- input from falsely triggering the decoder. When the input exceeds the squelch limit, the PLL
locks onto the incoming signal and the KS8721BL/SL decodes a data frame. This activates the carrier sense (CRS) and
RXDV signals and makes the receive data (RXD) available. The receive clock is maintained active during idle periods in
between data reception.

SQE and Jabber Function (10BASE-T only)
In 10BASE-T operation, a short pulse is put out on the COL pin after each packet is transmitted. This is required as a
test of the 10BASE-T transmit/receive path and is called an SQE test. The 10BASE-T transmitter is disabled and COL
goes high if TXEN is high for more than 20ms (Jabbering). If TXEN then goes low for more than 250ms, the 10BASE-T
transmitter is re-enabled and COL goes low.

The KS8721BL/SL performs auto-negotiation by hardware strapping option (pin 29) or software (Register 0.12). It
automatically chooses its mode of operation by advertising its abilities and comparing them with those received from its
link partner whenever auto-negotiation is enabled. It can also be configured to advertise 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T in
either full- or half-duplex mode (please refer to “Auto-Negotiation”). Auto-negotiation is disabled in the FX mode.
During auto-negotiation, the contents of Register 4, coded in fast link pulse (FLP), are sent to its link partner under the
conditions of power-on, link-loss, or restart. At the same time, the KS8721BL/SL monitors incoming data to determine
its mode of operation. The parallel detection circuit is enabled as soon as either 10BASE-T normal link pulse (NLP) or
100BASE-TX idle is detected. The operation mode is configured based on the following priority:
Priority 1: 100BASE-TX, full-duplex
Priority 2: 100BASE-TX, half-duplex
Priority 3: 10BASE-T, full-duplex
Priority 4: 10BASE-T, half-duplex
When the KS8721BL/SL receives a burst of FLP from its link partner with three identical link code words (ignoring
acknowledge bit), it will store these code words in Register 5 and wait for the next three identical code words. Once the
KS8721BL/SL detects the second code words, it then configures itself according to the above-mentioned priority. In
addition, the KS8721BL/SL also checks for 100BASE-TX idle or 10BASE-T NLP symbols. If either is detected, the
KS8721BL/SL automatically configures to match the detected operating speed.
MII Management Interface
The KS8721BL/SL supports the IEEE 802.3 MII Management Interface, also known as the Management Data
Input/Output (MDIO) Interface. This interface allows upper-layer devices to monitor and control the state of the
KS8721BL/SL. The MDIO interface consists of the following:
•
A physical connection including a data line (MDIO), a clock line (MDC), and an optional interrupt line (INTRPT).
•
A specific protocol that runs across the above-mentioned physical connection that allows one controller to
communicate with multiple KS8721BL/SL devices. Each KS8721BL/SL is assigned an MII address between 0
and 31 by the PHYAD inputs.
•
An internal addressable set of fourteen 16-bit MDIO registers. Registers [0:6] are required and their functions
are specified by the IEEE 802.3 specifications. Additional registers are provided for expanded functionality.
The INTPRT pin functions as a management data interrupt in the MII. An active Low or High in this pin indicates a
status change on the KS8721BL/SL based on 1fh.9 level control. Register bits at 1bh[15:8] are the interrupt enable bits.
Register bits at 1bh[7:0] are the interrupt condition bits. This interrupt is cleared by reading Register 1bh.
MII Data Interface
The data interface consists of separate channels for transmitting data from a 10/100 802.3 compliant Media Access
Controller (MAC) to the KS8721BL/SL, and for receiving data from the line. Normal data transmission is implemented in
4B nibble mode (4-bit wide nibbles).
Transmit Clock (TXC)
The transmit clock is normally generated by the KS8721BL/SL from an external 25MHz reference source at the X1
input. The transmit data and control signals must always be synchronized to the TXC by the MAC. The KS8721BL/SL
normally samples these signals on the rising edge of the TXC.
Receive Clock (RXC)
For 100BASE-TX links, the receive clock is continuously recovered from the line. If the link goes down, and autonegotiation is disabled, the receive clock operates off the master input clock (X1 or TXC). For 10BASE-T links, the
June 2009
12
M9999-062509-1.3
Micrel, Inc.
KS8721BL/SL
receive clock is recovered from the line while carrier is active, and operates from the master input clock when the line is
idle. The KS8721BL/SL synchronizes the receive data and control signals on the falling edge of RXC in order to
stabilize the signals at the rising edge of the clock with 10ns setup and hold times.
Transmit Enable
The MAC must assert TXEN at the same time as the first nibble of the preamble, and de-assert TXEN after the last bit
of the packet.
Receive Data Valid
The KS8721BL/SL asserts RXDV when it receives a valid packet. Line operating speed and MII mode will determine
timing changes in the following way:
• For 100BASE-TX links with the MII in 4B mode, RXDV is asserted from the first nibble of the preamble to the
last nibble of the data packet.
• For 10BASE-T links, the entire preamble is truncated. RXDV is asserted with the first nibble of the SFD “5D”
and remains asserted until the end of the packet.
Error Signals
Whenever the KS8721BL/SL receives an error symbol from the network, it asserts RXER and drives “1110” (4B) on the
RXD pins. When the MAC asserts TXER, the KS8721BL/SL will drive “H” symbols (a Transmit Error defined in the IEEE
802.3 4B/5B code group) out on the line to force signaling errors.
Carrier Sense (CRS)
For 100BASE-TX links, a start-of-stream delimiter, or /J/K symbol pair causes assertion of Carrier Sense (CRS). An
end-of-stream delimiter, or /T/R symbol pair, causes de-assertion of CRS. The PMA layer will also de-assert CRS if
IDLE symbols are received without /T/R, yet in this case RXER will be asserted for one clock cycle when CRS is deasserted. For 10BASE-T links, CRS assertion is based on reception of valid preamble, and de-assertion on reception of
an end-of-frame (EOF) marker.
Collision
Whenever the line state is half-duplex and the transmitter and receiver are active at the same time, the KS8721BL/SL
asserts its collision signal, which is asynchronous to any clock.
RMII (Reduced MII) Data Interface
RMII interface specifies a low-pin count, Reduced Media Independent Interface (RMII) intended for use between
Ethernet PHYs and Switch or Repeater ASICs. It is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3u [2].
This interface has the following characteristics:
•
It is capable of supporting 10Mbps and 100Mbps data rates.
•
A single clock reference is sourced from the MAC to PHY (or from an external source).
•
It provides independent 2-bit wide (di-bit) transmit and receive data paths.
•
It uses TTL signal levels compatible with common digital CMOS ASIC processes.

Reference Clock (REF_CLK)
REF_CLK is a continuous 50MHz clock that provides the timing reference for CRS_DV, RXD[1:0], TX_EN, TXD[1:0],
and RX_E. REF_CLK is sourced by the MAC or an external source. Switch implementations may choose to provide
REF_CLK as an input or an output depending on whether they provide a REF_CLK output or rely on an external clock
distribution device. Each PHY device must have an input corresponding to this clock but may use a single clock input
for multiple PHYs implemented on a single IC.
Carrier Sense/Receive Data Valid (CRS_DV)
CRS_DV is asserted asynchronously on detection of carrier due to the criteria relevant to the operating mode. That is,
in 10BASE-T mode, when squelch is passed or in 100BASE-X mode when 2 noncontiguous zeroes in 10 bits are
detected, the carrier is detected.
Loss-of-carrier results in the de-assertion of CRS_DV synchronous to REF_CLK. As carrier criteria are met, CRS_DV
remains continuously asserted from the first recovered di-bit of the frame through the final recovered di-bit and is
negated prior to the first REF_CLK that follows the final di-bit.
The data on RXD[1:0] is considered valid once CRS_DV is asserted. However, since the assertion of CRS_DV is
asynchronous relative to REF_CLK, the data on RXD[1:0] remains as “00” until proper receive signal decoding takes
place (see “Definition of RXD[1:0] Behavior”).
Receive Data [1:0] (RXD[1:0])
RXD[1:0] transitions synchronously to REF_CLK. For each clock period in which CRS_DV is asserted, RXD[1:0]
transfers two bits of recovered data from the PHY. In some cases (e.g., before data recovery or during error conditions),
a predetermined value for RXD[1:0] is transferred instead of recovered data. RXD[1:0] remains as “00” to indicate idle
when CRS_DV is de-asserted. Values of RXD[1:0] other than “00” when CRS_DV is de-asserted are reserved for outof-band signaling (to be defined). Values other than “00” on RXD[1:0] while CRS_DV is de-asserted are ignored by the
MAC/repeater. Upon assertion of CRS_DV, the PHY ensures that RXD[1:0]=00 until proper receive decoding takes
place.
Transmit Enable (TX_EN)
Transmit Enable TX_EN indicates that the MAC is presenting di-bits on TXD[1:0] on the RMII for transmission. TX_EN
is asserted synchronously with the first nibble of the preamble and remains asserted while all transmitted di-bits are
presented to the RMII. TX_EN is negated prior to the first REF_CLK following the final di-bit of a frame. TX_EN
transitions synchronously with respect to REF_CLK.
Transmit Data [1:0] (TXD[1:0])
Transmit Data TXD[1:0] transitions synchronously with respect to REF_CLK. When TX_EN is asserted, TXD[1:0] are
accepted for transmission by the PHY. TXD[1:0] remains as “00” to indicate idle when TX_EN is de-asserted. Values of
TXD[1:0] other than “00” when TX_EN is de-asserted are reserved for out-of-band signaling (to be defined). Values
other than “00” on TXD[1:0] while TX_EN is de-asserted are ignored by the PHY.
Collision Detection
Since the definition of CRS_DV and TX_EN both contain an accurate indication of the start of frame, the MAC reliably
re-generates the COL signal of the MII by ANDing TX_EN and CRS_DV.
During the IPG time following the successful transmission of a frame, the COL signal is asserted by some transceivers
as a self-test. The Signal Quality Error (SQE) function is not supported by the reduced MII due to the lack of the COL
signal. Historically, SQE was present to indicate that a transceiver located physically remote from the MAC was
functioning. Since the reduced MII only supports chip-to-chip connections on a PCB, SQE functionality is not required.
RX_ER
The PHY provides RX_ER as an output according to the rules specified in IEEE 802.3u [2] (see Clause 24, Figure 2411– Receive State Diagram). RX_ER is asserted for one or more REF_CLK periods to indicate that an error (e.g., a
coding error or any error that a PHY is capable of detecting, and that may otherwise be undetectable by the MAC sublayer) is detected somewhere in the frame presently being transferred from the PHY. RX_ER transitions synchronously
with respect to REF_CLK. While CRS_DV is de-asserted, RX_ER has no effect on the MAC.

Auto-Crossover (Auto-MDI/MDI-X)
Automatic MDI/MDI-X configuration is intended to eliminate the need for crossover cables between similar devices. The
assignment of pinouts for a 10/100 BASE-T crossover function cable is shown below.
This feature eliminates the confusion in applications by allowing the use of both straight and crossover cables. This
feature is controlled by register 1f:13. See “Register 1fh–100BASE-TX PHY Controller” section for details.

Power Management
The KS8721BL/SL offers the following modes for power management:
•
Power-Down Mode: This mode can be achieved by writing to Register 0.11 or pulling pin 30 PD# low.
•
Power-Saving Mode: This mode can be disabled by writing to Register 1fh.10. The KS8721BL/SL turns off
everything except for the Energy Detect and PLL circuits when the cable is not installed. In other words, the
KS8721BL/SL shuts down most of the internal circuits to save power if there is no link. Power-saving mode is in
the most effective state when auto-negotiation mode is enabled.
100BT FX Mode
Please contact your local field application engineer (FAE) for a reference schematic on fiber connection.
100BT FX mode is activated when FXSD/FXEN is higher than 0.6V (this pin has a default pull down). Under this mode,
the auto-negotiation and auto-MDI-X features are disabled.
In fiber operation, the FXSD pin should connect to the signal detect (SD) output of the fiber module. The internal
threshold of FXSD is around 1/2 VDD ±50mV (1.25V ±0.05V). Above this level, the fiber signal is considered detected.
The operation is summarized in the following table:
FXSD/FXEN
Condition
Less than 0.6V
100TX mode
Less than 1.25V,
but greater than 0.6V
FX mode
No signal detected
FEF generated
Greater than 1.25
FX mode
Signal detected
Table 1. 100BT FX Mode
To ensure proper operation, the swing of fiber module SD should cover the threshold variation. A resistive voltage
divider is recommended to adjust the SD voltage range.
Far End Fault (FEF), repetition of a special pattern which consists of 84-one and 1-zero, is generated under “FX mode
with no signal detected.” The purpose of FEF is to notify the sender of a faulty link. When receiving an FEF, the LINK
will go down to indicate a fault, even with fiber signal detected. The transmitter is not affected by receiving an FEF and

still sends out its normal transmit pattern from MAC. FEF can be disabled by strapping pin 27 low. Refer to the
“Strapping Options” section.
Media Converter Operation
The KS8721BL/SL is capable of performing media conversion with two parts in a back-to-back RMII loop-back mode as
indicated in the diagram. Both parts are in RMII mode and with RMII BTB asserted (pins 21 and 22 strapped high). One
part is operating in TX mode and the other is operating in FX mode. Both parts can share a common 50MHz oscillator.
Under this operation, auto-negotiation on the TX side prohibits 10BASE-T link-up. Additional options can be
implemented under this operation. Disable the transmitter and set it at tri-state by controlling the high TXD2 pin. In order
to do this, RXD2 and TXD2 pins need to be connected via inverter. When TXD2 pin is high in both the copper and fiber
operation, it is disabled transmit. Meanwhile, the RXD2 pin on the copper side serves as the energy detect and can
indicate if a line signal is detected. TXD3 should be tied low and RXD3 let float. Please contact your Micrel FAE for a
media converter reference design.

Reset Circuit Diagram
Micrel recommends the following discrete reset circuit as shown in Figure 10 when powering up the KS8721BL/SL device.
For the application where the reset circuit signal comes from another device (e.g., CPU, FPGA, etc), we recommend the
reset circuit as shown in Figure 11.

Figure 11. Recommended Circuit for Interfacing with CPU/FPGA Reset
At power-on-reset, R, C, and D1 provide the necessary ramp rise time to reset the Micrel device. The reset out from
CPU/FPGA provides warm reset after power up. It is also recommended to power up the VDD core voltage earlier than
VDDIO voltage. At worst case, the both VDD core and VDDIO voltages should come up at the same time.

The IEEE 802.3u standard for 100BASE-TX assumes a transformer loss of 0.5dB. For the transmit line transformer, insertion loss of up to 1.3dB
can be compensated or by increasing the line drive current by means of reducing the ISET resistor value. Please select the transformer that
supports auto-MDI/MDI-X.
