5.010BASE-T Functionality in Adapter Mode

5.110BASE-T Transmit Clock Generation

The 20 MHz and 10 MHz clocks needed for 10BASE-T are synthesized from the external 25 MHz crystal or oscillator. The 82555 provides the transmit clock and receive clock to the MAC at 2.5 MHz.

5.210BASE-T Transmit Blocks

5.2.110BASE-T Manchester Encoder

After the 2.5 MHz clocked data is serialized in a 10 Mbps serial stream, the 20 MHz clock performs the Manchester encoding. The Manchester code always has a mid-bit transition. If the value is 1b then the transition is from low to high. If the value is 0b then the transition is from high to low. The boundary transition occurs only when the data changes from bit to bit. For example, if the value is 10b, then the change is from high to low; if 01b, then the change is from low to high.

5.2.210BASE-T Driver and Filter

Since 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX have different filtration needs, both filters are implemented inside the chip. This allows the two technologies to share the same magnetics. The 82555 supports both technologies through one pair of transmit differential pins and by externally sharing the same magnetics.

In 10 Mbps mode, the 82555 begins transmitting the serial Manchester bit stream within 3 bit times (300 nanoseconds) after the MAC asserts TXEN. In 10 Mbps mode the line drivers use a pre- distortion algorithm to improve jitter tolerance. The line drivers reduce their drive level during the second half of “wide” (100 ns) Manchester pulses and maintain a full drive level during all narrow (50 ns) pulses and the first half of the wide pulses. This reduces line overcharging during wide pulses, a major source of jitter.

5.310BASE-T Receive Blocks

5.3.110BASE-T Manchester Decoder

The 82555 performs Manchester decoding and timing recovery when in 10 Mbps mode. The Manchester encoded data stream is decoded from the receive differential pair to separate Receive Clock and Receive Data lines from the differential signal. This data is transferred to the controller at 2.5 MHz/nibble through the MII. The high-performance circuitry of the 82555 exceeds the IEEE

802.3 jitter requirements.

5.3.210BASE-T Twisted Pair Ethernet (TPE) Receive Buffer and Filter

In 10 Mbps mode, data is expected to be received on the receive differential pair after passing through isolation transformers. The filter is implemented inside the 82555 for supporting single magnetics that are shared with the 100BASE-TX side. The input differential voltage range for the
