Test Command. The bits in this register are decoded to generate a

 

 

 

test mode for the TAI.

TAI Configuration Register Space (TCR)

The Transceiver Attachment Interface (TAI) Unit con- tains a total of 64 registers. Thirty-two of the registers are directly accessible from the 80188 embedded core and from the system interface through the BIU. The other 32 registers are indirectly accessed by first writing an INDEX value into the Configuration Register Index

TCR0: Network Configuration

This register is the Network Configuration register.

(TIR24) and then executing a read or write operation to the Configuration Data Port (TIR25). Since the indirectly accessible registers are used mostly for TAI configura- tion purposes, this set of registers is labeled TAI Con- figuration Registers (TCR). The following section describes the indirectly accessible Configuration Regis- ters of the TAI, or TCR.

DRB[2:0]

0h

Dribbling Bits. The value of DRB sets the amount of time that drib-

 

 

 

bling bits will be generated following the end of CRC during frame

 

 

 

transmission. Power will be removed from the transmitter following

 

 

 

the end of the dribbling bit period. With respect to external transmit

 

 

 

timing signals, the value of DRB will determine the amount of time

 

 

 

that passes from the sending of the last valid TX CRC bit until the

 

 

 

deassertion of the

TXP_ON

signal. Dribbling bit resolution is equal

 

 

 

to 40 times the CLKIN period when the CLKGT20 bit of MIR9 is set

 

 

 

to 0 and is equal to 80 times the CLKIN period when the CLKGT20

 

 

 

bit of MIR9 is set to 1. For a 1 Mbs data rate with CLKIN = 20 MHz

 

 

 

and CLKGT20 = 0, the resolution is 2 μ.

4–2

HDB[2:0]

0h

Header Bits. The value of HDB sets the amount of time that header

 

 

 

bits will be generated before the first bit of preamble is sent to the

 

 

 

transmitter during frame transmission. The count begins at the time

 

 

 

that power is applied to the transmitter. With respect to external

 

 

 

transmit timing signals, the value of HDB will determine the amount

 

 

 

of time that passes from the assertion of the

TXP_ON

and signal to

 

 

 

the delivery of the first valid TX data bit to the TXDATA pin. Header

 

 

 

bit resolution is equal to 40 times the CLKIN period when the

 

 

 

CLKGT20 bit of MIR9 is set to 0 and is equal to 80 times the CLKIN

 

 

 

period when the CLKGT20 bit of MIR9 is set to 1. For a 1 Mbs data

 

 

 

rate with CLKIN = 20MHz and CLKGT20 = 0, the resolution is 2 μ.

1–0

SD[1:0]

0h

Start Delimiter. The value in this register determines the number

 

 

 

of bytes of preamble that will be verified before the start of

 

 

 

frame detect indication is asserted during frame reception and

 

 

 

transmission. The following interpretations have been assigned to

 

 

 

these bits.
