Figure 8-8. Definition for Start and End of Frame Symbols

Table 8-4 details the symbol timing characteristics supported by the 87C196LB.

Table 8-4. Huntzicker Symbol Timing Characteristics

Name Symbol Bus Level TTXmin TTXnom TTXmax TRXmin TRXmax Units
Logic Level 0 0 Passive 60 64 68 34 <96 µs
Active 122 128 134 96 <163 µs
Logic Level 1 1 Passive 122 128 134 96 <163 µs
Active 60 64 68 34 <96 µs
Start of Frame SOF Active 193 200 207 163 <239 µs
End of Data EOD Passive 193 200 207 163 <239 µs
End of Frame EOF Passive 271 280 289 239 <300 µs
In-frame Separation IFS Passive >300 >300 µs
Break BRK Active 768 >239 µs
NOTE: Timings are based on the standard bus rate of 10.4 Kb/s. When operating in 4x mode, the bus
rate becomes 41.6 Kb/s and all symbol timings are one fourth that shown.
