6.1.2.2100BASE-TX Scrambler and MLT-3 Encoder

Data is scrambled in 100BASE-TX to reduce electromagnetic emissions during long transmissions of high-frequency data codes. The scrambler logic accepts 5 bits from the 4B/5B encoder block and presents the scrambled data to the MLT-3 encoder. The PHY unit implements the 11-bit stream cipher scrambler as adopted by the ANSI XT3T9.5 committee for UTP operation. The cipher equation used is:

X[n] = X[n-11] + X[n-9] (mod 2)

The encoder receives the scrambled Non-Return to Zero (NRZ) data stream from the Scrambler and encodes the stream into MLT-3 for presentation to the driver. MLT-3 is similar to NRZI coding, but three levels are output instead of two. There are three output levels: positive, negative and zero. When an NRZ “0” arrives at the input of the encoder, the last output level is maintained (either positive, negative or zero). When an NRZ “1” arrives at the input of the encoder, the output steps to the next level. The order of steps is negative-zero-positive-zero which continues periodically.
