KS8721B/BT
2.5V 10/100BasTX/FX MII Physical Layer Transceiver
Rev. 2.3
General Description
Features
Operating at 2.5 volts to meet low voltage and low power
requirements, the KS8721B/BT is a 10BaseT/100BaseTX/FX
Physical Layer Transceiver, which provides an MII to transmit
and receive data. It contains the 10BaseT Physical Medium
Attachment (PMA), Physical Medium Dependent (PMD), and
Physical Coding Sub-layer (PCS) functions. Moreover, the
KS8721B/BT has on-chip 10BaseT output filtering, which
eliminates the need for external filters and allows a single
set of line magnetics to be used to meet requirements for
both 100BaseTX and 10BaseT.
The KS8721B/BT can automatically configure itself for 100
or 10 Mbps and full or half duplex operation, using on-chip
Auto-Negotiation algorithm. It is an ideal choice of physical
layer transceiver for 100BaseTX/10BaseT applications.

Introduction
100BaseTX Transmit
The 100BaseTX transmit function performs parallel to serial conversion, NRZ to NRZI conversion, MLT-3 encoding and
transmission. The circuitry starts with a parallel to serial conversion, which converts the 25MHz, 4-bit nibbles into a 125
MHz 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. It has a typical rise/fall times of 4 ns and complies to the ANSI TP-PMD
standard regarding amplitude balance, overshoot and timing jitters. The wave-shaped 10BaseT output driver is also incorporated into the 100BaseTX driver.
100BaseTX Receive
The 100BaseTX 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 the 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 against the 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 effect of base line wander and improve the 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 is 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 KS8721B/BT generates 125MHz, 25MHz and 20MHz clocks for system timing. An internal crystal oscillator circuit provides the reference clock for the synthesizer.
Scrambler/De-scrambler (100BaseTX only)
The purpose of the scrambler is to spread the power spectrum of the signal in order to reduce EMI and baseline wander.
10BaseT Transmit
When TXEN (transmit enable) goes high, data encoding and transmission will begin. The KS8721B/BT will continue to encode
and transmit data as long as TXEN remains high. The data transmission will end 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 driver to allow transmission with the same magnetics. They are internally wave-shaped and
pre-emphasized into outputs with a typical 2.5V amplitude. The harmonic contents are at least 27dB below the fundamental
when driven by an all-ones Manchester-encoded signal.
10BaseT 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 noises at the RX+ or
RX- input from falsely trigger the decoder. When the input exceeds the squelch limit, the PLL locks onto the incoming signal
and the KS8721B/BT decodes a data frame. This activates the carrier sense (CRS) ad 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 (10BaseT only)
In 10BaseT operation, a short pulse will be put out on the COL pin after each packet is transmitted. This is required as a test
of the 10BaseT transmit/receive path and is called SQE test. The 10BaseT transmitter will be disabled and COL will go high
if TXEN is High for more than 20ms (Jabbering). If TXEN then goes low for more than 250ms, the 10BaseT transmitter will
be re-enabled and COL will go Low.
Auto-Negotiation
The KS8721B/BT performs auto-negotiation by hardware strapping option (pin 29) or software (Register 0.12). It will automatically choose 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 100BaseTX or 10BaseT in either full- or halfduplex mode (please refer to “Auto-Negotiation” ). The auto-negotiation is disabled in the FX mode.

KS8721B/BT

During auto-negotiation, the contents of Register 4, coded in Fast Link Pulse (FLP), will be sent to its link partner under the
conditions of power-on, link-loss or re-start. At the same time, the KS8721B/BT will monitor incoming data to determine its
mode of operation. Parallel detection circuit will be enabled as soon as either 10BaseT NLP (Normal Link Pulse) or 100BaseTX idle is detected. The operation mode is configured based on the following priority:
Priority 1: 100BaseTX, full-duplex
Priority 2: 100BaseTX, half-duplex
Priority 3: 10BaseT, full-duplex
Priority 4: 10BaseT, half-duplex
When the KS8721B/BT receives a burst of FLP from its link partner with 3 identical link code words (ignoring acknowledge
bit), it will store these code words in Register 5 and wait for the next 3 identical code words. Once the KS8721B/BT detects
the second code words, it then configures itself according to above-mentioned priority. In addition, the KS8721B/BT also
checks 100BaseTX idle or 10BaseT NLP symbol. If either is detected, the KS8721B/BT automatically configures to match
the detected operating speed.
MII Management Interface
The KS8721B/BT 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 KS8721B/BT. 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 and it also allows one controller to
communicate with multiple KS8721B/BT devices. Each KS8721B/BT assigned an MII address between 0 and 31
by the PHYAD inputs.
• An internal addressable set of fourteen 16-bit MDIO registers. Register [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 KS8721B/BT 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 KS8721B/BT, 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 KS8721B/BT 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
KS8721B/BT normally samples these signals on the rising edge of the TXC.
Receive Clock (RXC): For 100BaseTX links, the receive clock is continuously recovered from the line. If the link goes down,
and auto-negotiation is disabled, the receive clock operates off the master input clock (X1 or TXC). For 10BaseT links, the
receive clock is recovered from the line while carrier is active, and operates from the master input clock when the line is
idle. The KS8721B/BT 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 KS8721B/BT asserts RXDV when it receives a valid packet. Line operating speed and MII mode
will determine timing changes in the following way:
• For 100BaseTX link 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 10BaseT 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 KS8721B/BT receives an error symbol from the network, it asserts RXER and drives “1110”
(4B) on the RXD pins. When the MAC asserts TXER, the KS8721B/BT will drive “H” symbols (a Transmit Error define in the
IEEE 802.3 4B/5B code group) out on the line to force signaling errors.
Carrier Sense (CRS): For 100TX 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 de-asserted. For 10T links, CRS assertion is based on reception of valid preamble, and de-assertion on reception of an end-offrame (EOF) marker.

Collision: Whenever the line state is half-duplex and the transmitter and receiver are active at the same time, the KS8721B/
BT 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.

Use
Unused MII signals, TXD[3:2], TXER need to tie to GND when RMII is using.
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 shall 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 non-contiguous zeroes in 10 bits are detected
carrier is said to be detected.
Loss of carrier shall result in the de-assertion of CRS_DV synchronous to REF_CLK. So long as carrier criteria are being
met, CRS_DV shall remain asserted continuously from the first recovered di-bit of the frame through the final recovered dibit and shall be 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] shall be “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] shall transition 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 pre-determined value for RXD[1:0] is transferred instead of recovered data. RXD[1:0] shall be “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 out-of-band signalling (to
be defined). Values other than “00” on RXD[1:0] while CRS_DV is de-asserted shall be ignored by the MAC/repeater. Upon
assertion of CRS_DV, the PHY shall ensure 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 trans-mission. TX_EN shall
be asserted synchronously with the first nibble of the preamble and shall remain asserted while all di-bits to be transmitted
are presented to the RMII. TX_EN shall be negated prior to the first REF_CLK following the final di-bit of a frame. TX_EN
shall transition synchronously with respect to REF_CLK.
March 2006

M9999-030106
KS8721B/BT
Micrel, Inc.
Transmit Data [1:0] (TXD[1:0])
Transmit Data TXD[1:0] shall transition synchronously with respect to REF_CLK. When TX_EN is asserted, TXD[1:0] are
accepted for transmission by the PHY. TXD[1:0] shall be “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 signalling (to be defined). Values other than “00”
on TXD[1:0] while TX_EN is deasserted shall be 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 can reliably
regenerate 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 will not be 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 shall provide 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 shall be 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)
was detected somewhere in the frame presently being transferred from the PHY. RX_ER shall transition synchronously with
respect to REF_CLK. While CRS_DV is de-asserted, RX_ER shall have 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 pin-outs for a 10/100 BASE-T crossover function cable is shown below.
This feature can eliminate the confusion in real applications so both straight cable and crossover cable can be used.
This feature is controlled by register 1f:13. See “Register 1fh–100BaseTX PHY Controller” section for details.

Power Management
The KS8721B/BT 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 KS8721B/BT will then turn
off everything except for the Energy Detect and PLL circuits when the cable is not installed. In other words, the
KS8721B/BT will shutdown most of the internal circuits to save power if there is no link. Power saving mode will
be in his most effective state when auto-negotiation mode is enable.
100BT FX Mode
100BT FX mode is activated when FXSD/FXEN is higher 0.6V (This pin has a default pull down). Under this mode, the autonegotiation and auto-MDIX features are disabled.
In fiber operation FXSD pin should connect to the SD (signal detect) output of the fiber module. The internal threshold of
FXSD is around 1/2 VDD ±50mV (1.25V ±0.05V). Above this level, it is considered fiber signal detected, and 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 a 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.
FEF (Far End Fault), 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 a FEF, the LINK will go down
to indicate a fault, even with fiber signal detected. The transmitter does not affect by receiving a FEF and still sends out its
normal transmit pattern from MAC. FEF can be disabled by strapping pin 27 low. Refer to “Strapping Options” section.
Media Converter Operation
KS8721B/BT is capable of performing media conversion with 2 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 (pin 21 and 22 strapped high). One part is operating
at TX mode and the other in FX mode. Both parts can share a common 50MHz oscillator.
Under this operation, auto-negotiation on the TX side will prohibit 10baseT link up. TXD2, active High, can disable transmitter and set it at tri-state. RXD2 serves as energy detection can indicate if there is line signal detected. TXD3 should tied low
and RXD3 let float. Please contact Micrel FAE for Application Note.

Micrel recommendeds the following discrete reset circuit as shown in Figure 10 when powering up the KS8721B/BT 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.

Selection of Isolation Transformer(Note 1)
One simple 1:1 isolation transformer is needed at the line interface. An isolation transformer with integrated common-mode
choke is recommended for exceeding FCC requirements. The following table gives recommended transformer characteristics.

The IEEE 802.3u standard for 100BaseTX assumes a transformer loss of 0.5dB. For the transmit line transformer, insertion loss of up to
1.3dB can be compensated by increasing the line drive current by means of reducing the ISET resistor value.
