19  | 23  | nReset in  | nRESET IN  | Input. This active low signal issued by the  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | microcontroller executes a hardware reset.  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | It is used to activate the internal reset  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | circuitry within the COM20020.  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
20  | 24  | nInterrupt  | nINTR  | Output. This active low signal is generated  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | by the COM20020 when an enabled  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | interrupt condition occurs. nINTR returns to  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | its inactive state when the interrupt status  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | condition or the corresponding interrupt  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | mask bit is reset.  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
21  | 25  | nChip Select  | nCS  | Input. This active low signal issued by the  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | microcontroller selects the COM20020 for  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | an access.  |

TRANSMISSION MEDIA INTERFACE
16,15  | 19,18  | nPulse 2,  | nPULSE2,  | Output.  | In Normal Mode, these active low  | |
  | 
  | nPulse 1  | nPULSE1  | signals carry the transmit data information,  | ||
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | encoded in pulse format, from the  | ||
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | COM20020 to the media driver circuitry.  | ||
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | When the device is in Backplane Mode, the  | ||
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | nPULSE1 signal driver is programmable  | ||
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | (push/pull or   | ||
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | nPULSE2 signal provides a clock with  | ||
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | frequency of crystal/4.  | nPULSE1 is  | |
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | connected to a weak internal   | ||
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | in backplane mode.  | 
  | |
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | |
17  | 20  | Receive In  | RXIN | Input.  | This signal carries the receive data  | |
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | information from the line receiver circuitry to  | ||
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | the COM20020.  | 
  | |
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | |
18  | 21  | nTransmit  | nTXEN  | Output.  | This signal is used prior to the  | |
  | 
  | nEnable  | 
  | |||
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | transmission. The polarity of the signal is  | ||
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | programmable by grounding the nPULSE2  | ||
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | pin.  |
