82555 — Networking Silicon

Pin allocation is based on a 100-lead quad flat package. All pin locations are based on printed circuit board layout and other design constraints.

3.1Pin Types

Pin Type

Description

 

 

 

 

I

This type of pin is an input pin to the 82555.

 

 

O

This type of pin is an output pin from the 82555.

 

 

I/O

This type of pin is both an input and output pin for the 82555.

BThis pin is used as a bias pin. The bias pin is either pulled up or down with a resistor. The bias pin may also be used as an external voltage reference.

X1

56

I

Crystal Input One. X1 and X2 can be driven by an external 25 MHz crystal.

 

 

 

Otherwise, X1 may be driven by an external MOS level 25 MHz oscillator

 

 

 

when X2 is left floating. (The crystal should have a tolerance of 50 PPM or

 

 

 

better.)

 

 

 

 

X2

55

O

Crystal Output Two. X1 and X2 can be driven by an external 25 MHz

 

 

 

crystal. Otherwise, X1 may be driven by an external MOS level 25 MHz

 

 

 

oscillator when this pin is left floating.

 

 

 

 

3.3Twisted Pair Ethernet (TPE) Pins

Type

Name and Function

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TDP

47

O

Transmit Differential Pair. These pins send the serial bitstream for

TDN

48

 

transmission on an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The current-driven

 

differential driver can be two-level (10BASE-T or Manchester) or three-level

 

 

 

 

 

 

(100BASE-TX or MLT-3) signals depending on the operating mode. These

 

 

 

signals interface directly with an isolation transformer.

 

 

 

 

RDP

33

I

Receive Differential Pair. These pins receive the serial bitstream from the

RDN

34

 

isolation transformer. The bitstream can be two-level (10BASE-T or

 

manchester) or three-level (100BASE-TX or MLT-3) signals depending on the

 

 

 

 

 

 

operating mode.
