The NWK914D is a Physical Layer device designed for
use in 100BASE-TX applications. The NWK914D has
integrated the 100mb/s transceiver, clock and data recovery
and NRZI conversion circuitry. It is designed for use in cost
effective NIC adapter cards and 100BASE-TX repeater and
switch applications.
The device connects through a 5 bit symbol interface
directly with any MAC controller that includes the PCS layer,
resulting in a simple and cost effective solution. It will also
interface with a PCS device such as the NWK935 to form a
complete 100BASE-TX Physical Layer for connection to the
IEEE 802.3 standard MII interface.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The functional blocks within the device are shown in Fig. 3.
These are described below:-
Transmit Section
Times Five Clock Multiplier 25MHz to 125MHz
This circuit consists of a phase lock loop (PLL) that is
operating at 125MHz, centre frequency. The 125MHz is
divided by 5 to produce a 25MHz clock which is phase
compared with a 25MHz crystal clock reference frequency
which is input on pin REFCLK. The 25MHz clock (pin TXC)
is then sent to the PCS layer to clock in in the 5 bit nibble
data. Pins LFTA and LFTB are provided to set the VCO
characteristics. The recommended loop filter components
are shown in Fig.6.
A control current is derived from the clock multiplier and
is used by the receive clock recovery circuit to centre the
PLL when no input data is present.
Five Bit Nibble to 125MHz Shifter
Data is input to the transmit side in 5 bit wide parallel
form on pins TDAT0 through TDAT4. This NRZ data is
clocked in on the positive edge of the 25MHz clock pin TXC.
The parallel data is first loaded into a 5 bit wide register prior
to being loaded into a 5 bit PISO where it is converted into
a serial data stream. The last stage of the shifter incorporates
a converter to change the data from NRZ to NRZI.
NRZ to MLT3 Encoder
The serial data from the shifter then passes through an
encoder which converts the NRZI binary data into the three
level MLT-3 format for transmission by the 'TXO' outputs.
Transmit Line Drivers
There are two on-chip Line Drivers both of which share
the output pins TXOP and TXON. The N10/100 pin is used
to control which driver is active and allowed to drive the line.
When held high the MLT-3 data is output by the 100Mb/s
driver. This driver consists of differential current source
outputs with programmable sink capability, designed to
drive a nominal output impedance of 50Ω.
Output current is set by the value of an external resistor
(R REF) between pin 'TXREF' and 'TXGND'.
This resistor defines an internal reference current derived
from an on-chip bandgap reference.
Final output current at the 'TXO' outputs is a multiple of
this current and is defined as:I
TXO(mA)
= 52/RREF(kΩ)
Transition times of the 'TXO' outputs are matched and
internally limited to approx. 2.5ns to reduce EMI emissions.
3
NWK914D
When N10/100 is held low the 10Mb/s driver is selected.
This 10Mb/s driver consists of a differential analog buffer
designed to take a fully cable conditioned 10Mb/s signal
from the filter output of existing 10BASE-T electronics. The
10BASE-T signal is input on pins 10TXIN and 10TXIP. The
output current of the buffer is determined by the same
external RREF resistor on pin TXREF as used for the 100Mb/
s driver.
The unselected driver is switched to a tristated power
save mode. A low voltage shutdown circuit turns off both TX
drivers when V CC voltage falls to a level below the specified
minimum.
Base Line Wander Correction
MLT-3 codes have significant low frequency components
in their spectrum which are not transmitted through the
transformers that couple the line to the board. This results in
'Base Line Wander', which can significantly reduce the
noise immunity of the receiver.
The purpose ot the correction circuit is to restore these
low frequency components through the use of a feedback
arrangement. The circuit will also correct any DC offset that
may exist on the receive signal.
Signal Detector
When operating in single 100Mb/s applications a 1:1
turn ratio magnetics will be used and therefore to attain the
desired line driving current of 40mA out of the secondary a
TXO output drive of 40mA is required. Using the above
formula it will be found that 1.3Ω is the nearest prefered
value to that required to give the 40mA.
A signal detect circuit is provided which continuously
monitors the amplitude of the input signal being received on
pins RXIP and RXIN. After the input signal reaches the
specified level which the equalizer can correctly equalize,
SDT is asserted high. Conversely if the signal level falls
below a limit for reliable operation then SDT will go low.
In the case of dual 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s applications a
2:1 turn ratio magnetics is recommended. The use of 2:1
magnetics enables a greater efficiency to be gained from
the 10Mb/s driver by using a lower output current. At the
same time this lower current is also true of the 100Mb/s
output where now only a 20mA drive is required. An RREF
value of 2.6KΩ is used to set this current. Internal current
ratioing within the device will ensure that the correct drive
current is chosen depending upon whether the drives are in
10Mb/s or 100Mb/s mode as selected by pin N10/100.
Comparators MLT-3 to NRZ Decoder
The RREF value can be adjusted to compensate for
different magnetics and board layouts. The object is to
achieve an output level of 2V p-p measured at the RJ45
socket in compliance with 802.3.
When the TXOE pin is held low the TXdrivers are tristated regardless of the mode selected by the N10/100 pin.
Receiver Section
The equalized MLT-3 data is then passed to a set of
window comparators which are used to determine the signal
level. The comparator outputs are OR’ed together to
reconstitute the NRZI data.
PLL Clock Recovery
This function consists of a 125MHz PLL that is locked to
the incoming data stream. The PLL is first centred to the
transmit clock multiplier using an internal analog reference
signal. Once a valid input signal is present, the PLL will lock
to, and thus extract the clock from, the incoming data
stream. Pins LFRA and LFRB are provided to set the VCO
characteristics. The recommended loop filter components
are shown in Fig.6.
125MHz Shifter to Parallel Data
Equalizer
The 125Mb/s serial data stream with an accompanying
phase related 125MHz clock is output from the PLL.
The equalizer circuit is necessary to compensate for
signal degradation due to cable losses, however overequalization must be avoided to prevent excessive overshoots
resulting in errors during the reception of MLT-3 data. Three
operating modes are therefore provided.
This data stream is clocked into the serial to parallel
register using the 125MHz clock. This data is then latched
prior to being clocked out on pins RDAT0 to RDAT4. A
25MHz clock, derived from the 125MHz PLL by a divide by
5, is used to clock the parallel data and is output to pin RXC.
These three operating modes are controlled by the state
of tristate input 'EQSEL' and are described below:-
Loopback Logic
1) Auto Equalization ('EQSEL' floating)
Fully automatic equalization is achieved through the
use of a feedback loop driven by a control signal derived
from the signal amplitude. This provides adaptive control
and prevents over-modulation of the signal when short
cable lengths are used.
2) Full Equalization ('EQSEL' low)
In this mode, full equalization is applied to the input
signal irrespective of amplitude.
3) No Equalization ('EQSEL high)
The equalization circuit is disabled completely during
this mode.
4
Pin ‘LBEN’ controls loopback operation. A low level on
this pin defines normal operation, a high level defines
loopback mode. In loopback mode, the transmit data is
internally routed to the receive circuitry, SDT is forced high
and the TXOP and TXON outputs are disabled.
Test Pins and No-Connects
Two pins are provided on the product to aid testing in
production. These pins TEST(38), and TESTIP(37) must be
left unconnected for normal operation in application circuits.
Additionally, there are four No-Connect pins (2,3,7,8)
which also mustt be left unconnected for normal operation.
