Issue Date: May 1994
device, the HIMIB chip provides complete repeater and
per-port statistics on demand from an 8-bit parallel interface. No external processor is required to keep track
of attributes locally, as full 32-bit counters are provided.
The HIMIB device implements a simple 8-bit microprocessor interface, allowing multiple HIMIB devices to be
used in a system. No additional logic is required for interfacing the HIMIB device to the IMR+ device.
The HIMIB chip is packaged in a 28-pin plastic leaded
chip carrier (PLCC). The device is fabricated in CMOS
technology and requires a single +5 V supply.

PIN DESCRIPTION
CK
Clock
Input
CK is the master 20 MHz clock. The IMR+ device X1 pin
must also be clocked with the identical clock signal.
RST
Reset
Input, Active LOW
Driving this pin LOW resets the internal logic of the
HIMIB. The HIMIB device must be reset with the identical synchronous RST signal of the IMR+ device.
Note: None of the 32-bit and 48-bit attributes are
cleared upon reset.
SI
Serial Input (to the IMR+ chip)
Output
The SI pin is used to output management port
commands to the IMR+ device. This pin should be connected to the SI pin of the IMR+ chip.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Overview
Node ID to Port Address Map:
Source Address Match Register (48-bit register)
The functional specification of the HIMIB device is a superset of that defined by the Layer Management for
10 Mbyte/s
Baseband
Repeaters
Standard
(IEEE802.3k), commonly referred to as the “Repeater
Management Standard.” The HIMIB chip contains the
complete set of repeater and port functions as defined in
the standard. All mandatory and optional capabilities
are supported. These are defined as the Basic Control,
Performance Monitor and Address Tracking Capabilities. In addition, node address mapping and MAU management specific functions are implemented.
Port Actions:
Port Admin Control (Enable / Disable).
The HIMIB device keeps track of the IEEE 802.3k specified attributes by extracting data from the expansion
port, management port, and port activity monitor (PAM)
port of the IMR+ device. All attribute counts are held in
32 bit registers, as specified in the Repeater Management Standard. For more detailed information, refer to
the IEEE 802.3 Layer Management for 10 Mbyte/s
Baseband Repeaters Standard and AMD’s IEEE 802.3
Repeater Technical Manual (PID #17314A).
The HIMIB chip supports the following Repeater Management functions:
Repeater Attributes:
Transmit Collisions – 32-bit counter
Total Octets – 32-bit counter
Port Attributes:
Auto Partition State – from IMR+ chip
Readable Frames – 32-bit counter
Readable Octets – 32-bit counter
Frame Check Sequence Errors – 32-bit counter
Alignment Errors – 32-bit counter
Frames Too Long – 32-bit counter
Short Events – 32-bit counter
Runts – 32-bit counter
Collisions – 32-bit counter
Late Events – 32-bit counter
Very Long Events – 32-bit counter
Data Rate Mismatches – 32-bit counter
Auto Partitions – 32-bit counter
Source Address Changes – 32-bit counter
Last Source Address – 48-bit register
Note: The HIMIB device executes this action by direct
access to the IMR+ device Management Port.
Individually maskable Interrupts are available for the following events:
Change in the Port Partitioning Status
Change in the Twisted Pair Ports Link Test State
AUI Loop Back Error
AUI SQE Test Error
Source Address Changed
Source Address Match
IMR+ Interface Error
The HIMIB chip provides direct access to the management port of the IMR+ device for additional functions including twisted pair port automatic receive polarity
detection/correction state and enabling the alternate reconnection algorithm.
The HIMIB device’s 8-bit microprocessor interface allows access to onboard registers. The interface is designed to be usable with a variety of available
microprocessors and buses.
The HIMIB device can also be used to collect network
statistics from a standard 802.3 MAC device. This mode
is programmed by setting the MAC Interface Mode Enable bit in the Configuration Register. In this mode the
HIMIB device can be interfaced with any Ethernet controller with a general purpose serial interface (GPSI).
The HIMIB device will record various network events occurring at that node of the network, and assign these
gathered statistics to the AUI port. All TP ports statistics
are invalid in this mode.

PRELIMINARY
Microprocessor Interface
Access to the HIMIB device’s on-chip registers is made
via its simple processor interface which is designed to
be used by a variety of available microprocessors. The
bus interface is designed to be asynchronous and can
be easily adapted for different hardware interfaces.
The interface protocol is as follows:
Assert CS (LOW) and C/D (HIGH to access Control
and LOW to access Data)
Assert RD (LOW) to start a Read cycle or WR (LOW)
to start a Write cycle
The HIMIB device forces RDY LOW in response to
the falling edge of either of RD or WR
Note: CS is internally gated with RD and WR, such that
CS may be permanently grounded, if not required. The
start of Read or Write cycle is the time when CS and
either RD or WR strobes are both asserted (LOW).
Write Cycle:
Data is to be placed on the Data (D7–0) pins prior to
rising edge of WR
The HIMIB device releases RDY (pulled high externally), indicating that it is ready to latch the data
WR strobe is de-asserted (HIGH) in response to
RDY. The HIMIB chip latches data internally on rising edge of WR
The processor can stop driving the Data pins after
the rising edge of WR
Read Cycle:
The HIMIB device drives the Data (D7–0) pins
The HIMIB device releases RDY (pulled high externally), indicating valid data
RD strobe is de-asserted (HIGH) in response to
RDY. The external device should latch the HIMIB
chip’s data on the rising edge of RD.
The HIMIB device stops driving the Data pins after
the rising edge of RD
Typically, Read and Write cycles take 500 ns (10 CK
clock cycles) to complete.
Upon reset, the Interrupt pin (INT) is not driven, all internal sources of interrupts are cleared and all interrupts
are disabled (masked). Use of the INT pin requires explicit enabling by setting the appropriate enable bits.
The INT pin is driven low when any of the enabled interrupts occur.
8
AMD
The INT pin will go inactive after the internal source(s) of
the interrupt are cleared by reading the corresponding
Status registers.
Register Access
All HIMIB internal registers are accessed by reading or
writing to or from two externally visible ports. These are
the Command Port (C Port) and the Data Port (D Port).
The C Port is accessed by asserting C/D pin HIGH during read or write accesses. The D Port is accessed by
driving the C/D pin LOW during Read/Write access to
the HIMIB device.
As the C/D pin is the only “address” line provided on the
HIMIB device bus interface, the internal register to be
accessed must be selected by writing its ”address” into
the Command Port.
The address appears to the programmer as two registers referred to as the P and R registers, both of which
are accessed via the Command Port. The P register selects the register Port Number (or Bank Number), and is
accessed by writing a byte with the three most significant bits set to zero into the C Port. The R register selects the Register Number (or Attribute Number), and is
accessed by writing a byte with the three most significant bits set to one into the C Port.
Once the C Port is programmed with a valid Port (Bank)
and Register (Attribute) Number, the entire 32-bit attribute is transferred to a holding register upon reading the
first byte. Subsequent accesses to the D Port access the
value in a least significant to most significant byte order.
When reading, once the last byte is read, the attribute
value is re-transferred to the holding register and the sequence can be restarted.
When the C Port is programmed for access to these
multi-byte registers, reading the D Port causes the value
of the register to be copied into the holding register. The
data is then read out from the holding register. This sequence is repeated until the last byte is read and the D
Port is accessed again. When the C Port is (re)programmed, the first byte read from the D Port will be the
least significant byte.
Note that the P and R registers can be accessed in any
sequence prior to accessing the D Port. If either P or R
register is not written prior to accessing the D Port then
the previous value of P or R register will be used.

DETAILED REGISTER FUNCTIONS
Status Register
The HIMIB Status Register can be accessed at any time
by reading the C Port.
The 8-bit quantity read has the following format:

LSB
Interrupt. This bit reflects the state of the INT output
pin. If this bit is set to 1, then this HIMIB device is driving the INT pin. Note that the INT pin is an open drain
output and multiple devices may share the same interrupt signal.
AMD
This is a read/write register. The 6 bytes are read or written in Low byte to High byte order. The sequence is
(re)started once the C Port is programmed for access to
this register. This register may be used to track nodes
within a LAN by reporting the port that received a packet
with a specific Source Address (SA). The Source Address field of an incoming packet is always compared
with the 48-bit quantity stored in this register. The initial
value of this register is indeterminate.
A match is indicated by the HIMIB device by setting the
corresponding bit in the TP or AUI Source Address
Match Status register for the receiving port. If the corresponding Source Address Match Interrupt Enable bit is
enabled, then the INT output pin is driven LOW. The set
bit(s) in the TP/AUI Source Address Match Status Registers are cleared when these registers are read.
E Interface Error. This bit is set if the HIMIB device is
unable to communicate with the IMR+ device. This
bit is reset upon reading this register.
Note that once a write sequence is started, all 6 bytes
must be written in order to change the contents of this
register.
S Source Address Match. This bit is set if the interrupt
is caused by a source address match of the incoming
data packet. This bit remains set until the TP and/or
AUI Source Address Match Status register(s) in the
Port Status registers are read.

The bit pattern which must be written to the C Port in order to correctly set the value of the R register to access
each of the registers is described in this section.
Repeater Register Bank
These registers are accessed by writing the bit pattern
0000 0000 to the C Port, i.e., P[4:0] = 0. Content of all
attribute counters are indeterminate upon power up.

This is a 4-byte attribute, read only register, whose contents are incremented while the repeater is repeating
packet data. This counter is a truncated divide by 8 of
the total number of bits transmitted by the repeater. The
counter is incremented for non-collision packets with
valid SFD (Start of Frame Delimiter). This attribute increments by same amount for all HIMIB devices connected to the same expansion bus in a repeater.
The 4 bytes in this attribute are sequentially accessed
by reading the D Port, least significant byte first. Note
that once the C Port is programmed for access to this attribute, reading the D Port causes the value of this register to be copied to the internal holding register. The data
is then read from the holding register, without affecting
this attribute. This sequence is repeated when the last
byte is read and the D Port is accessed.

has detected. The value of the Transmit Collisions attribute is a 32-bit counter with a minimum rollover time of
15 hours.
When the HIMIB chip is interfaced to a MAC device,
such as AMD’s LANCE (Am7990) and MACE
(Am79C940) etc., the CRS pin from the MAC device
should be connected to the CRS pin of the HIMIB chip.
Also, the SO input pin of the HIMIB chip should be tied
HIGH. Note that in this mode, the HIMIB chip will report
an Interface Error in the Status Register since there is no
connection to the Management Port. Therefore, it is recommended that the Interface Error Interrupt is left disabled. Certain attributes specific to the Repeater
Management Standard, such as bit rate error, AUI loopback error etc., will have no meaning.
Note: Once this bit is set by software, it should not be
cleared again as this may cause incorrect device
operation.
Version and Device ID Register
The 4 bytes in this attribute are sequentially accessed
by reading the D Port, least significant byte first. Note
that once the C Port is programmed for access to this attribute, reading the D Port causes the value of this register to be copied to the internal holding register. The data
is then read from the holding register, without affecting
this attribute. This sequence is repeated when the last
byte is read and the D Port is accessed.
P[4:0] = 0, R[4:0] = 16
This is a read/write register. The value read is the same
as that written. Only zeros should be written into unused
bits. All bits are cleared upon reset.

Enable Interrupts. When this bit is set to 0, all interrupts from this HIMIB device are masked (but not
cleared) and the INT output pin is forced to inactive
state (not driven).
S Source Address Match Interrupt Enable. When this
bit is set, the HIMIB chip will generate an interrupt if
the Source Address of the received packet matches
that programmed into the Source Address Match
Register (in the Repeater Register Bank).
M MAC Interface Mode Enable. When this bit is set to 1,
the HIMIB device is assumed to be interfaced to an
802.3/Ethernet MAC Controller. In this mode only
statistics for port 31 (AUI) are valid. The Expansion
Port interface statistics are reported for port 31
(AUI). The HIMIB chip must be kept in this mode until
an external reset occurs.

If a Get command is written to this register accidentally,

This is a read/write register. This register is used to
transfer a Get command to the IMR+ device. This is performed by serializing and transferring the command
placed into this register to the IMR+ device following the
end of the processor write cycle that writes the Get command. The byte returned by the IMR+ chip is then
placed in this register, overwriting its previous content.
The microprocessor can read the byte result of the Get
operation once the information has been transferred to
the HIMIB device. If the read operation is started prior to
completion of this transfer the HIMIB device will hold the
RDY line inactive until the transfer is complete. In most
applications this will insert wait states into the processor
read cycle.
If a Set command is written to this register accidentally,
the IMR+ device will receive the Set command. However, the management Interface Error bit will be set in
the Status Register.
Note that reading the IMR+ Twisted Pair Bit Rate Error
Status Registers using the Get command may affect accuracy of the Bit Rate Error attribute.
Port Status Registers
These registers are accessed by writing the bit pattern
0000 0001 to the C port, i.e., P[4:0] = 1. These registers
are read only and are cleared to 0 upon reading.

A TP port connected to a single end station will only detect a change of address if the end station is physically
changed to a different MAC address. The Last Source
Address (LSA) register (in the Port Attribute Registers)
of a port known to be connected to a single station can
be programmed with the Node ID (48-bit MAC address)
of the DTE. If the LSA is not programmed after power up
it will be overwritten by the source address of the first
packet received, and generate an interrupt if enabled.

Port Attribute Registers
The Port Attribute Registers are accessed in the same
fashion as the Repeater, Status or Control Registers by
writing the appropriate Port Number and Register Number into the C Port. TP port number zero is accessed by
writing 0001 0000, TP port number one by writing
00010001 and so on. The AUI port attributes are accessed by writing 00011111 to the C Port.
Except for the Last Source Address (LSA) register, all
other registers are 4 bytes and read only. The (LSA) register is 6 bytes long and its contents can be written and
read.
Once the C Port is programmed with a valid Port (Bank)
and Register (Attribute) Number, the corresponding attribute is transferred to a holding register upon reading
the first byte. Subsequent accesses to the D Port read
the value in a least significant to most significant byte order. When reading, once the last byte is read, the attribute value is re-transferred to the holding register and the
sequence can be restarted. When writing the LSA register, if the sequence is aborted prior to the sixth consecutive write cycle, the internally stored register value is not
updated. The sequence (read or write) may be aborted
and restarted by programming the C Port.

APPENDIX A
IMR+/HIMIB Security Features
The Am79C981 Integrated Multiport Repeater Plus
(IMR+) and the Am79C987 Hardware Implemented
Management Information Base (HIMIB) Ethernet repeater chip-set is capable of providing physical network
security features. AMD will only make these features
available to customers who are under an IMR+/HIMIB
security non disclosure agreement (NDA). A description
of the security feature is summarized below. For more
information, contact your local AMD sales office to generate an IMR+/HIMIB security NDA.
Security Features Summary
The HIMIB incorporates a feature to allow the destination address (DA) field of a received packet to be compared with the known MAC address connected to each
port. The MAC address for each port is contained in the
HIMIB Last Source Address (LSA) register, which can
be programmed by the user or it will be “learnt” by the
HIMIB device. On receipt of a packet on one port, all
other ports have the contents of the LSA register compared with the DA field of the received frame. If there is a
match on any port, the frame is repeated to that port
normally. For those ports which have the security feature enabled and do not have a DA/LSA match, the
repeated bit stream of the packet will be corrupted (frequently termed “eavesdrop protection”), and the port will
transmit an alternating pattern of 1 and 0 following the
18th (approximate) bit of the Source Address field. This
feature can be enabled/disabled on a port by port basis
using a mask located in the HIMIB Port Control Registers. Any port with the security feature disabled (using
the field in the Port Controls Registers) will repeat the
packet normally. Note that multicast and broadcast
packets are transmitted to all ports unmodified, regardless of the enable/disable state of the security function.
Ports that are connected to single stations can be secured by enabling the eavesdrop protection function
and enabling the Last Source Address Change Interrupt. This prevents unauthorized eavesdropping by stations on the LAN who are not directly addressed by the
sourcing node, hence the learning of valid source addresses and “snooping” on data is virtually impossible.
In addition, this allows the management software to detect and possibly disable the port in real time if the HIMIB
indicates via the hardware interrupt line that the Source
Address has changed.
