DP83959
8-Port Lite Ethernet Repeater Interface Controller
General Description
Features
The DP83959 8-Port Lite Ethernet Repeater Interface
Controller (LERIC8) is a single chip solution for unmanaged 10BASE-T Ethernet repeater (hub) products. By integrating electronics needed to support eight 10BASE-T
ports, a full level/drive compatible AUI port for a backbone
connection, and an internal power on reset circuit, a
LERIC8 based design requires only the addition of a few
passive components: crystal, transformers, connectors
and a power source.
■ Fully IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Repeater compliant
■ Eight IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T compliant ports with
on-chip transmit filters
■ One IEEE 802.3 compatible AUI port
■ Direct drive status LED outputs
■ Network traffic level monitor with direct drive LED
outputs
■ Automatic internal power-on reset function. External
TTL compatible reset pin provided for device testing if
required
■ Inter-LERIC™ bus for cascading up to 3 devices on a
single board
■ Register/LED status interface compatible with
DP83955/6 LERIC™ products
■ Single 20 MHz crystal or external 20 MHz oscillator
module operation
■ Single 5V supply
■ 160 pin PQFP package
The LERIC8 provides on-chip LED drivers that connect directly to LEDs via series resistors. In addition to the Link
OK, Port Partition, Global Activity and Global Collision LED
outputs, the LERIC8 provides an on chip network traffic
level monitor circuit with 8 LED outputs to drive a bargraph
type display.
The LERIC8 also provides an LED and Inter Repeater Bus
interface that is compatible with the DP83955/6 LERIC™
products.

work suggests that values of 13.5Ω and 820 pF are appropriate in order to meet IEEE 802.3 specifications and EMI
requirements - these values should be taken as a starting
point for investigation. Refer to Figure 9.
The values of the resistor/capacitor parallel source impedance matching networks connected to each of the
10BASE-T transmit outputs will depend upon PCB layout
factors (such as track length, width, route etc.) and will have
to be determined for each design. Preliminary laboratory

serted for 1 second (nominal) following the trailing edge of
the internal/external reset signal. During the LED test at
power-on/reset, the Partition/Link OK 'A' outputs will all be
logic '1' and the 'B' outputs logic '0'.
All the DP83959's direct drive LED outputs can drive up to
14mA maximum. The LED outputs are intended to drive an
external LED with a series current limiting resistor. The Partition/Link OK LED outputs can sink or source current and
are thus suitable for driving single or bi-color LEDs directly.
Bi-color LEDs can be connected between the A and B outputs (with series current limiting resistors) (see section
5.11).
DP83955/6 compatible LED drive outputs are only asserted
for the duration of the 1 second LED test following the trailing edge of the internal/external reset (they are not asserted
during reset). The DP83955/6 compatible status LED
scheme is described in the functional description
(Section 5.13) as it requires external circuitry to latch the
status and drive the LEDs.
The direct drive LED outputs are asserted during power-on/reset (either internal or external reset) and remain asSignal Name

into consideration when calculating the power requirements

Functional Description
The DP83959 LERIC8 consists of the following functional
blocks, each of which is described in the sections that follow:
Repeater Main State Machine & Timers
Port State Machines

Transmit De-Multiplexer & Manchester Encoder

5.1
An arbitration process is required to enable the repeater to
transition from the idle state to the send preamble pattern or
receive collision states. This process is used to locate the
port which will be port N for that particular packet.
The data received from this port is directed to the PLL decoder and transmitted over the Inter-LERIC bus. If the repeater
enters the transmit collision state a further arbitration operation is performed to determine which port is port M. Port M is
differentiated from the repeater's other ports if the repeater
enters the one port left state. In this state port M does not
transmit to its segment; where as all other ports are still required to transmit to their segments.
5.3
REPEATER MAIN STATE MACHINE &
TIMERS
The main state machine (MSM) has an associated set of timers that ensure the various IEEE 802.3 section 9 repeater
specification times (referred to as TW1 to TW6) are fulfilled.
Some of the major functions of the MSM and Timers are
shown in Table 1.
The MSM is the heart of the DP83959. It controls the operation of most of the functional blocks and performs the majority of the data and collision propagation operations as
defined by the IEEE specification.
The MSM requires status inputs from each of the DP83959's
ports. Each port has its own port state machine that controls
the port and maintains its status. The interaction of the main
and port state machines is visible, in part, by observation of
the Inter-LERIC bus.
5.2
PORT STATE MACHINES
Each of the nine LERIC8 ports has its own port state machine (PSM). PSMs have two main functions:
1. Control the transmission of repeated data and jam signals over the attached segment.
Table 1
2. Decide if the port should be the current source of data or
collision information to be repeated over the network.
This repeater port is known as port N.
RECEIVE MULTIPLEXER
The receive multiplexer routes data from whichever port receives network traffic first (port N) to the Manchester decoder. The receive multiplexer also notifies the main state
machine of any collision activity that may be present on the
repeater's ports.
5.4
MANCHESTER DECODER
Manchester encoded receive data from the receive multiplexer is routed to the Manchester decoder. The Manchester decoder contains a sophisticated PLL that locks onto the
receive packet's preamble signal. This ensures the accumulated jitter is removed from the incoming data. The Manchester data is then decoded into a NRZ receive data stream with
a synchronous clock. The DP83959 has a pin (the RXM pin)
to enable external Manchester decoders to be used if required.
5.5
ELASTICITY BUFFER
An elasticity buffer is required to allow for any difference in
the frequencies between the local clock and the clock of the
device that originated the packet, and for any preamble bits
lost in the physical layer(s) in a packet's path prior to being
repeated.
Repeater Main State Machine & Timer Functions
Function
Action
Preamble Regeneration Restore the length of the preamble pattern to the defined size.
Fragment Extension
Extend received data or collision fragments to meet the minimum fragment length of 96 bits.
Elasticity Buffer Control A portion of the received packet may require storage in an Elasticity Buffer to accommodate
preamble regeneration.
Jam / Preamble
Pattern Generation
In cases of receive or transmit collisions, a LERIC8 is required to transmit a jam pattern (1010...).
Note: This pattern is the same as that used for preamble regeneration.
Transmit Collision
Enforcement
Once the TRANSMIT COLLISION state is entered a repeater is required to stay in this state for at
least 96 network bit times.
Data Encoding Control NRZ format data from the elasticity buffer must be encoded into Manchester format data prior to
re-transmission.
Tw1 Enforcement
Enforce the Transmit Recovery Time specification.
Tw2 Enforcement
Enforce Carrier Recovery Time specification on all ports with active collisions.

Functional Description (Continued)
The DP83959 has a 32 bit elasticity buffer (FIFO) in the
transmit path prior to the transmit de-multiplexer. This enables the DP83959 to synchronize data packets to its own
local clock prior to transmission and regenerate preamble
as required.
DP83959
LERIC8
Soon after the network segment receiving the data packet
has been identified, the DP83959 begins to transmit the preamble pattern (1010...) to the other network segments.
While the preamble is being transmitted, the elasticity buffer
monitors the decoded receive clock and data signals (this is
done via the inter-LERIC bus as described later). When the
start of frame delimiter (SFD) is detected, the receive data
stream is written to the elasticity buffer. Removal of data
from the elasticity buffer for re-transmission is not allowed
until a valid length preamble pattern has been transmitted.

Clock Using a Crystal
The transmit de-multiplexer routes data from the Manchester decoder to all ports other than the one receiving data (all
ports not N). The NRZ data is then encoded into a Manchester transmit data stream with a synchronous clock.
The total shunt load capacitance is given by the equation:

The load padding capacitors C1 and C2 should be made

27pF.

INTER-LERIC BUS INTERFACE
LERIC8 devices may be cascaded to form single logical
10BASE-T repeaters with more ports if required. This is
done using the Inter-LERIC Bus. This bus consists of eight
signals (see Section 4.4).
Alternatively, an external 20 MHz oscillator module (mounted close to the device) feeding TTL clock directly into the
X_IN input (with X_OUT left unconnected) can be used.
This arrangement is shown in Figure 3.
Because the LERIC8 was designed for cost conscious
stand-alone 8 port repeater applications, the drive strength
of some of the Inter-LERIC bus signals is too weak to allow
proper operation with LERIC8's on separate boards. External Inter-LERIC bus transceivers cannot be used with the
LERIC8 since no signal to enable the transceivers is provided. The maximum number of cascaded LERIC8's on one
PCB is 3, using short, low capacitance traces. Note that external 680Ω pull-up resistors are required on the /COLN and
/ACTN signals, if the Inter-LERIC bus is used, because of
the reduced drive capability of these signals. These are required to ensure fast de-assertion of these signals.

reference clock source. This can either be provided by a
crystal (with two small padding capacitors, typically 27 pF)
connected to the X_IN and X_OUT pins. This arrangement
is shown in Figure 2.
5.9
Clock Using an Oscillator Module
RESET INTERFACE
The DP83959 LERIC8 has an internal power-on reset function that requires no external components for it to power up
correctly and begin repeater operation automatically.
The value of the load padding capacitors depends upon the
crystal specification. They can be calculated knowing the
stray input and output capacitance's and the crystal manufacturer's recommended shunt load capacitance. Typical input capacitance (Cin) is 5 pF and typical output capacitance
(Cout) is 6 pF.
A TTL compatible reset input is also provided (/MLOAD).
Note that the /MLOAD input is not a Schmitt input: an externally generated pulse must be supplied to this input if it is to
be used. If not required, the /MLOAD input can be left unconnected. A representational logic diagram of the reset
function is given in Figure 4. The RES_INT/EXT pin selects
either internal or external reset.

riod. Network activity is sampled at 6.25Hz. The activity
level is decoded into a percentage of the theoretical maximum and output to the /TRAF[1:8] pins for display on the
bargraph style LEDs. That is, all LED outputs up to and including the currently determined network traffic LED level
will be asserted. Figure 5 shows how to connect the traffic
LEDs.
Optionally, configuration information can be loaded into the
device at reset from values set by pull-up and/or pull-down
resistors on the D[3:0] and RA[4:0] pins. See Section 5.12
for more details.
The rising edge of the selected reset signal is used to start
the 1 second LED test operation.
As a power-on test feature, the DP83959 will assert all single ended LED outputs, the DP83955/6 compatible LED
outputs and the 'B' outputs of the bi-color LED outputs. The
direct drive LED outputs are asserted during reset as well as
for 1 second following the trailing edge of reset, whereas the
DP83955/6 compatible LEDs will only be asserted for the 1
second test, not during reset. See the pin descriptions for
the LEDs in Section 4.3 for more details.
5.10
Additionally, three global LEDs are provided:
An Alert LED output indicates when traffic level exceeds
80% for 1 second or more or when any of the eight
10BASE-T ports is partitioned for 1 second or more. The
output will remain active until the excess traffic or long partition event ends or for a minimum of 30ms (nominal value)
to ensure LED visibility.
A global activity LED output (/GACT) indicates the presence
of any receive activity, while a global collision LED output
(/GCOL) indicates the presence of collisions on any port.
These LED outputs have the capability to lengthen the time
the LED is active. At the end of each event, the output is held
asserted for 30 ms, or until another such event occurs.Thus,
at low levels of network activity (for /GACT) or network collisions (for /GCOL), the LED is lit long enough to make it discernible to the human eye. At higher rates of events, the
relative brightness of the LEDs indicate high or low activity.
TRAFFIC MONITOR LED INTERFACE
The Network Traffic Level Monitor function displays the network utilization as a percentage on 8 LEDs connected in
bargraph format. LEDs connected to the /TRAF[1:8] outputs
will indicate the following network traffic levels 1%, 2%, 3%,
6%, 12%, 25%, 50%, and >80% respectfully. These are chosen in order to provide for an ergonomic display.
The Network Traffic Level Monitor function uses a sum of the
internal carrier sense signals from each of the ports to assess the amount of repeater activity in any given sample pe-

held on the D[3:0] and RA[4:0] inputs into the internal configuration registers. Configuration data is set on the D[3:0]
and RA[4:0] pins using 10 kΩ pull-up or pull-down resistors
as required. Table 3 shows the parameter sections possible.
The eight 10BASE-T Port Partition Status/Link OK Status
bi-color LED outputs have the functionality given in Table 2.
The representational logic of this function is given in
Figure 6. This logic is repeated for each of the 10BASE-T
ports ('n' in Figure 6 refers to any of ports 1 through 8). The
DP83959 bi-color LED outputs use two pins each, so that either end of a two-lead bi-color LED may be driven high or
low in order to achieve the required functionality. Two-lead
bi-color LEDs require only the addition of a single series current limiting resistors. Three lead bi-color LEDs must be
driven with two series resistors (one in each cathode lead)
and the common anode lead taken to VCC.
A 10 kΩ pull-up resistor to VCC is required to set a configuration bit to 1. A 10 kΩ pull-down resistor to GND to set a
configuration bit to 0.
The LERIC8 has internal registers that are accessible from
the RA[4:0] and D[3:0] interface. A certain amount of control
of operation and status information is available through this
interface. The LERIC8's registers are compatible with those
in the DP83955/6. A full description of the registers is given
in Section 6.0.
CONFIGURATION/REGISTER INTERFACE
Although simple 8-port standalone hubs will not require the
register interface, it was nevertheless included as a necessary factory test feature. In a simple repeater design the /RD
and /WR pins should be disabled by connecting them to
VCC directly or via a suitable pull-up resistor (4.7 kΩ).
Several operational parameters can be configured into the
LERIC8 at power-on/reset time (optional mode) or the standard LERIC8 configuration can be used (default mode). Selection of the mode is made using the DEF/OPT pin.
Since the RA[4:0] and D[3:0] interface is used for multiple
functions (configuration, register access and Min/Max LED
mode outputs) register read/write data must be transferred
using an external buffer.
For default mode, the DEF/OPT pin must be pulled high (to
VCC) with a 4.7 kΩ resistor. In this mode, the LERIC8 uses
the default values given in Table 3.
The READY pin provides a means of handshaking register
accesses into the LERIC8. A simple programmable logic device (GAL) may be used to decode the address range, assert the appropriate /RD or /WR strobe and check the
READY signal. This provides an appropriate interface for
whatever CPU or other device is connected.
If required, single LEDs may be driven by the bi-color outputs (each taken to VCC via an appropriate resistor).
Figure 5 shows one configuration, using bi-color LEDs.
5.12
For optional mode, the DEF/OPT pin must be pulled low. In
this mode, the rising edge of either the internal reset signal
or /MLOAD (see Section 5.9) is used to latch the logic levels

MIN/MAX MODE LED INTERFACE
The three AUI signal pairs (RX, TX, CD) require the use of
an isolation transformer (standard AUI 1:1 type) in order to
meet the fault condition requirements of IEEE 802.3. A typical AUI port connection is shown in Figure 8.
The LERIC8 supports the Min and Max LED modes of the
DP83955/6 LERIC devices. If these modes are not required
(for instance, if only the direct drive LED outputs are being
used), then no actions/connections are required. If Min or
Max mode is required, the relevant circuitry is simply added
to the data and address bus pins. The /STR pin is used to
latch data into external latches for display on the status
LEDs.
5.15
The DP83959 will directly support up to 8 10BASE-T ports.
Figure 9 shows a typical 10BASE-T port connection.
Each of the 10BASE-T ports uses 4 signal pins on the
DP83959 package (two for transmit outputs and two for receive inputs) plus a shared power and ground. This minimal
configuration is possible due to the 10BASE-T filtering and
waveshaping being implemented internal to the device’s
transmit circuitry. The DP83959 still requires the use of receive filtering and termination and transmit source impedance matching resistors external to the device. Decoupling
capacitors may also be required from the center taps of the
transmit and receive isolation transformers.
For Min mode, the LERIC8 operates identically to the
DP83955/6 devices. Table 4 shows the interface pin functions for Min mode.
For Max mode, since the LERIC8 has more ports than the
DP83955/6, a slightly different latching scheme is required.
Figure 7 shows how Max mode functions for the LERIC8.
Data for latching (into external 74x259 addressable latches)
is presented on the D[0:3] and RA0 pins. Address information is presented on the RA[1:4] pins. The address cycles
from 0h through 9h and then returns to 0h and repeats continuously.
5.14
10BASE-T PORTS 1-8
On transmit, the 10BASE-T ports of the DP83959 requires
the use of 1:2 step-up transformers in order to generate the
correct transmit output drive voltage. Common mode
chokes may not be required to meet emissions standards if
the layout guidelines are followed.
AUI PORT 0
The DP83959 LERIC8 has a single AUI port that uses the
standard 3 differential pairs of signal connections. The AUI
receiver input pairs (RX0+/- and CD0+/-) require external
line termination (78Ω balanced termination). The AUI transmit output pairs utilize class A/B output drivers and do not
require any source termination resistors (as did the
DP83955/6).
On receive, the 10BASE-T ports of the DP83959 requires
the use of 1:1 transformers. Filtering may be required to reduce high frequency interference.

REGISTER ADDRESS MAP
The LERIC8's register address map is shown below. Since
the data path is only a nibble wide interface, each register
has two addresses, with the most significant address bit
(RA4) used to select either the lower or upper nibble of the
register byte information. Each byte wide register can be
thought of as having data bits D[7:0], so that for the lower nibble bits D[3:0] are presented on D[3:0] respectively and for
the upper nibble, bits D[7:4] are presented on D[3:0] respectively. Register descriptions in the following sections are given in the byte wide notation, D[7:0].

System Considerations
The DP83959 can be designed into several types of repeaters. The most common design is the unmanaged,
stand-alone, 8-port repeater, where a single LERIC8 will be
used to provide the repeater capabilities. For designs that require more than 8 ports, up to 3 LERIC8s may be cascaded
on a single board.
The violation of this specification under these conditions will
not affect a normal network. The LERIC8 passes the IEEE
Output Waveform with Scaling Voltage template and the inverted template, both of which specify VOD at the end of a cable. The LERIC8 has also undergone endurance testing in
various platforms and has not shown any loss of data.
7.1
The RTX and REQ pins can be used to tune the internal
transmit filter and wave shaping circuitry. The RTX input can
be used to adjust the differential voltage (VOD) of all of the
output drivers. By placing a resistor between RTX and VCC,
the peak-to-peak voltage will be increased. Conversely, connecting the resistor to GND will decrease VOD.
CASCADING
Figure 10 shows the connection diagram for using 3
DP83959s in a single repeater. Most of the inter-LERIC bus
is tied together. /ACKO of one device is connected to /ACKI
of the next one. /ACKI on one end of the chain is tied high,
while /ACKO on the other end is a no-connect.
7.2
IEEE CONFORMANCE
The LERIC8 was tested for IEEE 802.3 conformance in a repeater system. Without any resistive loading on the RTX and
REQ pins, the repeater passed all conformance tests with
the exception of Peak Differential Output Voltage (VOD into a
resistive load). With only one twisted pair port loaded and
transmitting a packet, with the system running at 5.25 V in a
0 oC chamber, the output violated the Peak Differential Output Voltage (VOD into a resistive load) marginally at the upper
limit. With all eight twisted pair ports loaded and transmitting,
and with the system running at 4.75 V in a 80 oC chamber,
the output violated the Peak Differential Output Voltage (VOD
into a resistive load) marginally at the lower limit. Performance is also dependent on PCB layout.
The REQ input can be used to adjust the shape of the waveform for all outputs. By placing a resistor between REQ and
VCC, the amplitude of the pre-emphasis waveform will be increased. Conversely, connecting the resistor to GND will decrease the amplitude.
Caution should be taken when using RTX and REQ to make
adjustments. The following IEEE parameters may be adversely affected by adjusting the amplitude or shape of the
transmitted waveform, as well as PCB layout and design:
Peak Differential Output Voltage, Harmonic Content, Output
waveform with Scaling of Voltage template, Output Waveform
with Scaling of Voltage inverted template, TD circuit Differential Output Impedance, Transmit Output Timing Jitter with Cable Model, and Transmit Output Timing Jitter without Cable
Model.
