Introduction
The LSI ET1011C is a Gigabit Ethernet transceiver fabri-
cated on a single CMOS chip. Packaged in either an 128-
pin TQFP, an 84-pin MLCC, or a
68-pin MLCC, the ET1011C is built on 0.13 µm technol-
ogy for low power consumption and application in server
and desktop NIC cards. It features single power supply
operation using on-chip regulator controllers. The 10/100/
1000Base-T device is fully compliant with IEEE® 802.3,
802.3u, and 802.3ab standards.
The ET1011C uses an oversampling architecture to gather
more signal energy from the communication channel than
possible with traditional architectures. The additional sig-
nal energy or analog complexity transfers into the digital
domain. The result is an analog front end that delivers
robust operation, reduced cost, and lower power consump-
tion than traditional architectures.
Using oversampling has allowed for the implementation of
a fractionally spaced equalizer, which provides better
equalization and has greater immunity to timing jitter,
resulting in better signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and thus
improved BER. In addition, advanced timing algorithms
are used to enable operation over a wider range of cabling
plants.

Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver
TruePHY ET1011C

category 5 cable (signal dimensions or channels A, B, C, and D) at 125 Msymbols/s using five-level pulse-amplitude modulation
(PAM). Figure 1 is a block diagram of its basic configuration.

Oversampling Architecture
The ET1011C architecture uses oversampling techniques to
sample at two times the symbol rate. A fractionally spaced
feed forward equalizer (FFE) adapts to remove intersymbol
interference (ISI) and to shape the spectrum of the received
signal to maximize the (SNR) at the trellis decoder input.
The FFE equalizes the channel to a fixed target response.
Oversampling enables the use of a fractionally spaced equal-
izer (FSE) structure for the FFE, resulting in symbol rate
clocking for both the FFE and the rest of the receiver. This
provides robust operation and substantial power savings.
Automatic Speed Downshift
Automatic speed downshift is an enhanced feature of autone-
gotiation that allows the ET1011C to:
nFallback in speed, based on cabling conditions or link
partner abilities.
nOperate over CAT-3 cabling (in 10Base-T mode).
nOperate over two-pair CAT-5 cabling (in 100Base-TX
mode).
For speed fallback, the ET1011C first tries to autonegotiate
by advertising 1000Base-T capability. After a number of
failed attempts to bring up the link, the ET1011C falls back
to advertising 100Base-TX and restarts the autonegotiation
process. This process continues through all speeds down to
10Base-T. At this point, there are no lower speeds to try and
so the host enables all technologies and starts again.
PHY configuration register, address 22, bits 11 and 10
enable automatic speed downshift and specifies if fallback to
10Base-T is allowed. PHY control register, address 23, bits
11 and 12 specify the number of failed attempts before
downshift (programmable to 1, 2, 3, or 4 attempts).

Functional Description (continued)
Transmit Functions
1000Base-T Encoder
In 1000Base-T mode, the ET1011C translates 8-bit data
from the MAC interfaces into a code group of four quinary
symbols that are then transmitted by the PMA as 4D five-
level PAM signals over the four pairs of CAT-5 cable.
100Base-TX Encoder
In 100Base-TX mode, 4-bit data from the media independent
interface (MII) is 4B/5B encoded to output
5-bit serial data at 125 MHz. The bit stream is sent to a
scrambler, and then encoded to a three-level MLT3 sequence
that is then transmitted by the PMA.
10Base-T Encoder
In 10Base-T mode, the ET1011C transmits and receives
Manchester-encoded data.
Receive Functions
Decoder 1000Base-T
In 1000Base-T mode, the PMA recovers the 4D PAM signals
after compensating for the cabling conditions. The resulting
code group is decoded to 8-bit data. Data stream delimiters
are translated appropriately, and the data is output to the
receive data pins of the MAC
interfaces. The GMII receive error signal is asserted when
invalid code groups are detected in the data stream.
Decoder 100Base-TX
In 100Base-TX mode, the PMA recovers the three-level
MLT3 sequence that is descrambled and 5B/4B decoded to
4-bit data. This is output to the MII receive data pins after
data stream delimiters have been translated appropriately.
The MII receive error signal is asserted when invalid code
groups are detected in the data stream.
Decoder 10Base-T
In 10Base-T mode, the ET1011C decodes the Manchester-
encoded received signal.
Hybrid
The hybrid subtracts the transmitted signal from the input
signal allowing full-duplex operation on each of the twisted-
pair cables.
Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA)
The PGA operates on the received signal in the analog
domain prior to the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The
gain control module monitors the signal at the output of the
ADC in the digital domain to control the PGA. It implements
a gain that maximizes the signal at the ADC while ensuring
that no hard clipping occurs.
Clock Generator
A clock generator circuit uses the 25 MHz input clock signal
and a phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit to generate all the
required internal analog and digital clocks. A 125 MHz sys-
tem clock is also generated and is available as an output
clock.
Analog-to-Digital Converter
The ADC operates at 250 MHz oversampling at twice the
symbol rate in 1000Base-T and 100Base-TX. This enables
innovative timing recovery and fractional skew correction
and has allowed transfer of analog complexity to the digital
domain.
Timing Recovery/Generation
The timing recovery and generator block creates transmit
and receive clocks for all modes of operation. In transmit
mode, the 10Base-T and 100Base-TX modes use the 25
MHz clock input. While in receive mode, the input clock is
locked to the receive data stream. 1000Base-T is imple-
mented using a master-slave timing scheme, where the mas-
ter transmit and receive are locked to the 25 MHz clock
input, and the slave acquires timing information from the
receive data stream. Timing recovery is accomplished by
first acquiring lock on one channel and then making use of
the constant phase relationship between channels to lock on
the other pairs, resulting in a simplified PLL architecture.
Timing shifts due to changing environmental conditions are
tracked by the ET1011C.

Functional Description (continued)
Adaptive Fractionally Spaced Equalizer
The ET1011C’s unique oversampling architecture employs
an FSE in place of the traditional FFE structure. This results
in robust equalization of the communications channel, which
translates to superior bit error rate (BER) performance over
the widest variety of worst-case cabling scenarios. The all-
digital equalizer automatically adapts to changing condi-
tions.
Echo and Crosstalk Cancellers
Since the four twisted pairs are bundled together and not
insulated from each other in Gigabit Ethernet, each of the
transmitted signals is coupled onto the three other cables and
is seen at the receiver as near-end crosstalk (NEXT). A
hybrid circuit is used to transmit and receive simultaneously
on each pair. If the transmitter is not perfectly matched to the
line, a signal component will be reflected back as an echo.
Reflections can also occur at other connectors or cable
imperfections. The ET1011C cancels echo and NEXT by
subtracting an estimate of these signals from the equalizer
output.
Baseline Wander Correction
A known issue for 1000Base-T and 100Base-TX is that the
transformer attenuates at low frequencies. As a result, when
a large number of symbols of the same sign are transmitted
consecutively, the signal at the receiver gradually dies away.
This effect is called baseline wander. By employing a circuit
that continuously monitors and compensates for this effect,
the probability of encountering a receive symbol error is
reduced.
Autonegotiation
Autonegotiation is implemented in accordance with IEEE
802.3. The device supports 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and
1000Base-T and can autonegotiate between them in either
half- or full-duplex mode. It can also parallel detect 10Base-
T or 100Base-TX. If autonegotiation is disabled, a 10Base-T
or 100Base-TX link can be manually selected via the IEEE
MII registers.
Pair Skew Correction
In Gigabit Ethernet, pair skew (timing differences between
pairs of cable) can result from differences in length or manu-
facturing variations between the four individual twisted-pair
cables. The ET1011C automatically corrects for both integer
and fractional symbol timing differences between pairs.
Automatic MDI Crossover
During autonegotiation, the ET1011C automatically detects
and sets the required MDI configuration so that the remote
transmitter is connected to the local receiver and vice versa.
This eliminates the need for crossover cables or crosswired
(MDIX) ports. If the remote device also implements auto-
matic MDI crossover, and/or the crossover is implemented in
the cable, the crossover algorithm ensures that only one ele-
ment implements the required crossover.
Polarity Inversion Correction
In addition to automatic MDI crossover that is necessary for
autonegotiation, 10Base-T, and 100Base-TX operation, the
ET1011C automatically corrects crossover of the additional
two pairs used in 1000Base-T. Polarity inversion on all pairs
is also corrected. Both of these effects may arise if the
cabling has been incorrectly wired.
Carrier Sense (128-Pin TQFP and 84-Pin MLCC
Only)
The carrier sense signal (CRS) of the MAC interface is
asserted by the ET1011C whenever the receive medium is
nonidle. In half-duplex mode, CRS may also be asserted
when the transmit medium is nonidle. The CRS may be
enabled on transmit in half-duplex mode by writing to the
PHY configuration register, address 22, bit 15.

Functional Description (continued)
Link Monitor
1000Base-T
Once 1000Base-T is autonegotiated and the link is estab-
lished, both link partners continuously monitor their local
receiver status. If the master device determines a problem
with its receiver, it signals the slave and both devices cease
transmitting data but transmit IDLE. If the master retrains its
receiver within 750 ms, then normal operation recom-
mences. Otherwise, both devices restart autonegotiation.
If the slave device determines a problem with its receiver, it
ceases transmitting and expects the master to transmit the
IDLE sequence. If the slave retrains its receiver within 350
ms, normal operation recommences when the master signals
that its receiver is ready. If either receiver fails to reacquire,
then autonegotiation is restarted.
100Base-TX
In 100Base-TX mode, the ET1011C monitors the link and
determines the link quality based on signal energy, mean
square error and scrambler lock. If the link quality is deemed
insufficient, transmit and receive data are disabled. If the
link had been autonegotiated, then control is handed back to
autonegotiation. If the link had been manually set, the
100Base-TX receiver is retrained, and the transmitter is set
to transmit idle. Once the link quality has been recovered,
data transmit and receive are enabled.
10Base-T
In 10Base-T mode, the ET1011C monitors the link and
determines the link quality based either on the presence of
valid link pulses or valid 10Base-T packets. If the link is
deemed to have failed and the link had been autonegotiated,
then control is handed back to autonegotiation. If the link
had been manually set, the ET1011C continues to try to rees-
tablish the link.
LEDs
Four status LEDs are provided. These can be used to indicate
speed of operation, duplex mode, link status, etc. There is a
very high degree of programmability allowed. Hence, the
LEDs can be programmed to different status functions from
their default value, or they can be controlled directly from
the MII register interface. The LED signal pins can also be
used for general-purpose I/O if not needed for LED indica-
tion.
Regulator Control
The ET1011C has two on-chip regulator controllers. This
allows the device to be powered from a single supply, either
3.3 V or 2.5 V. The on-chip regulator control circuits provide
output control voltages that can be used to control two exter-
nal transistors and thus provide regulated 1.0 V and 2.5 V
supplies.
Resetting the ET1011C
The ET1011C provides the ability to reset the device by
hardware (pin RESET_N) or via software through the man-
agement interface. A hardware reset is accomplished by
driving the active-low pin RESET_N to 0 volts for a mini-
mum of 20 μs. The configuration pins and the physical
address configuration are read during a hardware reset. A
hardware reset is required after powerup in order to ensure
proper operation.
A software reset is accomplished by setting bit 15 of the con-
trol register (MII register address 0, bit 15). The configura-
tion pins and the physical address configuration are not read
during software reset.

Loopback Mode
Enabling loopback mode allows in-circuit testing of the ET1011C's digital and analog data path.
The ET1011C provides several options for loopback that test and verify various functional blocks within the PHY. These are
digital loopback and analog loopback. Figure 2 is a block diagram that shows the PHY loopback functionality.
Figure 2. Loopback Functionality
The loopback mode is selected by setting the respective bit in the PHY loopback control register, MII register address 19. The
default loopback mode is digital MII loopback. Loopback is enabled by writing to the PHY control register, address 0, bit 14.

Digital loopback provides the ability to loop the transmitted data back to the receiver via the digital circuitry. The point at
which the signal is looped back is selected using the loopback control register with the following options being provided: MII
and all digital. Selecting the MII option gives a simple loopback with minimal latency where the data is looped back directly
at the media-independent interface. This loopback is currently set as the default, but it should be noted that it only exercises a
small percentage of the PHY circuitry. When the all-digital option is selected, the transmitted data is looped back at the inter-
face between the digital and the analog circuitry, thereby exercising a high percentage of the digital logic. Figure 3 shows a
block diagram of digital loopback.

Analog Loopback
Analog loopback provides the ability to loop the transmitted signal back to the receiver within the AFE. The point at which the
signal is looped back is selected using the loopback control register with the following options being provided: replica and line
driver.
Selecting the replica option causes the transmitted signal to be looped back through the replica generation circuitry of the on-
chip hybrid, thereby allowing most of the digital and analog circuitry to be exercised. This loopback mode may be used even
when the device is connected to a network because nothing is transmitted to or received from the MDI in this case.
Line driver loopback transmits data to and receives data from the MDI. However, in general, this loopback may not be used
when the device is connected to a network because it could cause an unanticipated response from the link partner. Line driver
loopback requires 100 Ω terminations to be present on the line side of the transformer for each wire pair. For example, for wire
pair A, connect a 100 Ω resistor between the leads (pins 1 and 2) of a short cable plugged into the RJ45. This should also be
done for wire pairs B, C, and D. Another way to accomplish this is to connect to a link partner with a short cable and power-
down the link partner. Figure 4 shows a block diagram of both replica and line driver loopbacks.
Figure 4. Replica and Line Driver Analog Loopback
External Cable Loopback
External cable loopback loops GMII Tx to GMII Rx via complete digital and analog path and via an external cable.
The external cable should have pair A (pins 1 and 2) looped to pair B (pins 3 and 6), and pair C (pins 4 and 5)
looped to pair D (pins 7 and 8). This will test all the digital data paths and all the analog circuits. Figure 5 shows a
block diagram of external cable loopback

Functional Description (continued)
Low-Power Modes
Hardware Powerdown Mode
In Hardware Powerdown, all PHY functions (analog and
digital) are disabled. During Hardware Powerdown,
SYS_CLK is not available and the MII registers are not
accessible. This is the lowest power mode for the ET1011C.
Hardware Powerdown is entered when the LPED_EN_N and
SYS_CLK_EN_N pins are high (deasserted), and either the
COMA signal is high (asserted) or the RESET_N signal is
driven low (asserted).
Low-Power Energy-Detect (LPED) Mode
In LPED mode, the PHY is in a low power state but still
monitors the cable (MDI interface) for energy. If energy is
detected, the MDINT_N pin is asserted. During LPED
mode, SYS_CLK is not available and the MII registers are
not accessible. The host system monitors the MDINT_N pin
and then places the PHY into a regular operating mode in
response to the interrupt. LPED mode is entered when the
LPED_EN_N pin is low (asserted), SYS_CLK_EN_N pin is
high (deasserted), and either the COMA signal is high
(asserted) or the RESET_N signal is driven low (asserted).
At exit from Hardware Powerdown or LPED modes, the
ET1011C does the following:
nInitializes all analog circuits including the PLL.
nInitializes all digital logic and state machines.
nReads and latches the PHY address pins.
nInitializes all MII registers to their default values (H/W
configuration pins are reread).
Standby Powerdown Mode
In Standby Powerdown, most PHY functions (analog and
digital) are disabled but the PLL is still running. During
Standby Powerdown, SYS_CLK is available and the MII
registers are not accessible. Standby Powerdown mode is
entered when the LPED_EN_N pin is high (deasserted),
SYS_CLK_EN_N pin is low (asserted), and either the
COMA signal is high (asserted) or the RESET_N signal is
driven low (asserted).
Standby Powerdown with Low-Power Energy-Detect
(LPED) Mode
This powerdown mode is a combination of Standby Power-
down mode and LPED mode. The PLL is running and the
PHY monitors the cable (MDI interface) for energy. If
energy is detected, the MDINT_N pin is asserted. During
this mode, SYS_CLK is available and the MII registers are
not accessible. The host system monitors the MDINT_N pin
and then places the PHY into a regular operating mode in
response to the interrupt. This mode is entered when the
LPED_EN_N pin is low (asserted), SYS_CLK_EN_N pin is
low (asserted), and either the COMA signal is high
(asserted) or the RESET_N signal is driven low (asserted).
At exit from Standby Powerdown or Standby Powerdown
with LPED, the ET1011C does the following:
nInitializes all analog circuits excluding the PLL.
nInitializes all digital logic and state machines.
nReads and latches the PHY address pins.
nInitializes all MII registers to their default values (H/W
configuration pins are reread).
Software Powerdown Mode
Software powerdown is entered when bit 11 of the control
register (MII register address 0, bit 11) is set. In software
powerdown, all PHY functions except the serial manage-
ment interface and clock circuitry are disabled. The MII reg-
isters can be read or written. If the system clock output is
enabled (MII register address 22, bit 4), the 125 MHz system
clock will still be available for use by the MAC on pin
SYS_CLK.
At exit from software powerdown, the ET1011C initializes
all digital logic and state machines only. NOTE: The H/W
configuration pins and the PHY address pins are not re-read
and the MII registers are not reset to their default values.
These operations are only done during reset or recovery from
hardware powerdown.
Wake-On-LAN Powerdown Mode
ACPI power consumption compliant Wake-On-LAN mode
is implemented on the ET1011C by using the IEEE standard
MII registers to put the PHY into 10Base-T or 100Base-TX
modes. Clearing the advertisement of 1000Base-T (MII reg-
ister address 9, bits 8, 9) and setting the desired 10Base-T
and 100Base-TX advertisement (MII register address 4, bits
5—8) activates this feature. This must be followed by an
autonegotiation restart via the control register (MII register
address 0, bit 9).

Hardware Interfaces
The following hardware interfaces are included on the ET1011C Gigabit Ethernet transceiver:
Several of the pins of the MAC interface are multiplexed, but they are designed to be interchangeable so that the device can
change the MAC interface once the transmission capabilities (1000Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 10Base-T) are established.
The following diagram shows the various interfaces on each ET1011C and how they connect to the MAC and other support
devices in a typical application.

An alternative to the standard MII is provided when operat-
ing in 10Base-T or 100Base-TX mode by
setting hardware configuration pins
MAC_IF_SEL[2:0] = 010. In this alternative interface, the
MAC provides a reference clock at 2.5 MHz or
25 MHz at the GTX_CLK pin. The ET1011C then uses a
FIFO to resynchronize data presented synchronously with
this reference clock.

Management Interface
Serial Management Interface
The MII management interface (MI) provides a simple, two-wire serial interface between the MAC and the PHY to allow
access to control and status information in the internal registers of the ET1011C. The interface is compliant with IEEE 802.3
clause 22 and is compatible with the clause 45.3, enabling the two systems to co-exist on the same MDIO bus.
Management Frame Structure
Frames transmitted on the MI have the following structure.
Table 8. Management Frame Structure
nPRE (preamble): At the beginning of each transaction, the MAC may send a sequence of 32 contiguous logic one bits on
MDIO with 32 corresponding cycles on MDC to provide the PHY with a pattern that it can use to establish synchronization.
The ET1011C supports MF preamble suppression, and thus the MAC may initiate management frames with the ST (start of
frame) pattern.
nST (start of frame): The start of frame is indicated by a <01> pattern. This pattern ensures transitions from the default logic
one line state to zero and back to one. When a clause 45 start of frame <00> is received, the frame is ignored.
nOP (operation code): The operation code for a read transaction is <10>, while the operation code for a write transaction is
<01>.
nPHYAD (PHY address): The PHY address is 5 bits. The first PHY address bit transmitted and received is the MSB of the
address. Only the PHY that is addressed will respond to the MI operation.
nREGAD (register address): The register address is 5 bits. The first register address bit transmitted and received is the MSB
of the address.
nTA (turnaround): The turnaround time is a 2-bit time spacing between the register address field and the data field of a man-
agement frame to avoid contention during a read transaction. For a read transaction, the PHY remains in a high-impedance
state for the first bit time of the turnaround and drives a zero bit during the second bit time of the turnaround. During a write
transaction, the PHY expects a one for the first bit time of the turnaround and a zero for the second bit time of the turn-
around.
nDATA (data): The data field is 16 bits. The first data bit transmitted and received is the MSB of the register being addressed.
nIDLE (idle condition): The IDLE condition on MDIO is a high-impedance state, and the ET1011C internal pull-up resistor
will pull the MDIO line to logic one.

1. PHYAD description applies to the 84-MLCC only. For the 68-MLCC, the valid range will be 0—15.
Management Interrupt
The ET1011C is capable of generating hardware interrupts on pin MDINT_N in response to a variety of user-selectable condi-
tions. MDINT_N is an open-drain, active-low signal that can be wire-ORed with several other ET1011C devices. A single 2.2
kΩ pull-up resistor is recommended for this wire-OR configuration.
When an interrupt occurs, the system can poll the status of the interrupt status register on each device to determine the origin
of the interrupt. There are nine conditions that can be selected to generate an interrupt:
The ET1011C is configured to generate an interrupt based on any of these conditions by use of the interrupt mask register (MII
register 24). By setting the corresponding bit in the interrupt mask register for the desired condition, the ET1011C will gener-
ate the desired interrupt. The ET1011C can be polled on the status of an activated interrupt condition by accessing MII register
interrupt status register (MII register 25). If this condition has occurred, the corresponding bit in the interrupt status register
will be set. The interrupt status register is self-clearing on a read operation.

(PHYAD

PHY Address The physical address of the ET1011C is configured at reset
by the current state of the PHYAD[4:0] pins. Once these pins
have been latched in at reset, the ET1011C is accessible via
the management interface at the configured address. The
default address is set to 1 by internal pull-up/downs. These
may be overridden by external pull-up/downs. The valid
range is 0 to 311.
MDC 91 55 48 Management
Interface Clock
The management data clock (MDC) is a reference for the
data signal and is generated by the MAC. It can be turned off
when the MI is not being used. This pin has an internal pull-
down resistor. MDC is nominally
2.5 MHz, and can work up to a maximum of 12.5 MHz.
MDIO 90 54 47 Management
Data I/O
The management data input/output (MDIO) is a bidirectional
data signal between the MAC and one or more PHYs. MDIO
is a 3-state pin that allows either the MAC or the selected
PHY to drive this signal. This pin has an internal pull-up
resistor. An external pull-up resistor should also be used, the
exact value depending on the number of PHYs sharing the
MDIO signal. Data signals written by the MAC are sampled
by the PHY synchronously with respect to the MDC. Data
signals written by the PHY are generated synchronously with
respect to the MDC.
This pin requires an external pull-up (1 kΩ to 10 kΩ).
MDINT_N 89 53 46 Management
Interface
Interrupt
This pin is active-low and indicates an unmasked manage-
ment interrupt. This pin requires an external pull-up resistor
(1 kΩ to 4.7 kΩ). Pin is open drain.

Configuration Interface
The hardware configuration pins listed in Table 10 initialize the ET1011C at power-on and reset. The configuration is latched
during initialization and stored. These pins set the default value of their corresponding MII register bits.
Some configuration inputs are shared with LED pins. The hardware configuration and LED pins are read on initial powerup of
the ET1011C, during a hardware reset and during recovery from hardware powerdown. The logic value at the pin is sensed
and latched. After RESET_N has been deasserted (raised high), the shared configuration pins become outputs that are used to
drive LEDs. (For details on sharing LED and configuration pins, refer to the application note, TruePHY ET1011 Gigabit
Ethernet PHY Design and Layout Guide.)

LEDs Interface
The ET1011C is capable of sinking or sourcing current to drive LEDs. These LEDs are used to provide link status information
to the user. The ET1011C is capable of automatically sensing the polarity of the LEDs. The device determines the active sense
of the LED based upon the input that is latched during configuration. Thus, if logic 1 is read, the device will drive the pin to
ground to activate the LED; otherwise, it will drive the pin to supply to activate the LED.
The LEDs can be programmed to stretch out events to either 28, 60, or 100 ms. This makes very short events more visible to
the user. All LEDs can be programmed to be on, off, or blink instead of the default status function. This is useful for alterna-
tive function indication under host processor control: for example, a system error during power-on self-check. All LEDs can
be programmed to indicate one of thirteen different status functions instead of the default status function:
The LED drivers can be configured by use of LED control register 1, LED control register 2, and LED control register 3 (MII
registers 27—29).

JTAG
The ET1011C has a standard IEEE 1149.1 JTAG test interface. The interface provides extensive test and diagnostics capabil-
ity. It contains internal circuitry that allows the device to be controlled through the JTAG port to provide on-chip, in-circuit
emulation.
The JTAG interface is a bidirectional serial interface with its own reset strobe (TRST_N). The reset strobe can be used inde-
pendently to reset the JTAG state machine but must be used during a power-on reset (see Reset Timing on page 78).
Table 14. JTAG Test Interface
Regulator Control
The ET1011C has two on-chip regulator controllers. This allows the device to be powered from a single supply, either 3.3 V or
2.5 V. The on-chip regulator control circuits provide output control voltages that can be used to control two external transistors
and thus provide regulated 1.0 V and 2.5 V supplies.

Cable Diagnostics
The ET1011C has on-chip cable diagnostics. The cable analysis uses two distinct methods for evaluating the cable: link analy-
sis and time domain reflectometry (TDR) analysis. This analysis can be used to detect cable impairments that may be prevent-
ing a gigabit link or affecting performance.
When there is a link active, the link analysis can detect cable length, link quality, pair skew, pair swaps (MDI/MDI-X configu-
ration), and polarity reversal. When there is no link, TDR can detect cable faults (open circuit, short circuit), distance to the
fault, pair fault is on, cable length, pair skew, and excessive crosstalk. Table 18 summarizes the specifications of the cable
diagnostic functions.
1. Pair swaps on C and D as well as pairs A and B are reported.
2. Polarity reversal in 100Base-TX is not detected because MLT-3 signaling is polarity insensitive.
3. If the magnitude of the peak reflection is greater than 15% of an open circuit.

1. This bit is only valid when the PHY is in PHY standby mode (26.15 = 1) and after the IP phone detect enable bit (23.14) has been set and has self-cleared
to indicate that the IP phone detection algorithm has completed.
2. Setting this bit enables the automatic IP phone detection algorithm and clears the IP phone detected bit (23.15). Diagnostics must be enabled (18.2 = 1),
cable diagnostic TDR mode must be selected (23.13 = 0), and the PHY must be in PHY standby mode (26.15 = 1) to do IP phone detection. IP phone detect
enable self-clears when the IP phone detection algorithm is complete, the result is then indicated in IP phone detected.
3. This bit sets the cable diagnostics mode. The default is link analysis mode wherein the PHY brings up a link with a remote partner. For analysis of cable
faults, the PHY can be put in TDR mode. In TDR mode, the PHY will not respond to link pulses from a remote link partner and will not bring up a link.

1. If the management frame preamble is suppressed (MF preamble suppression, register 0, bit 6), it is possible for the PHY to lose synchronization if there is
a glitch at the interface. The PHY can recover if a single frame with a preamble is sent to the PHY. The MDIO sync lost interrupt can be used to detect loss
of synchronization and, thus, enable recovery.

1. If two-color mode is enabled for pair LED_LINK and LED_TXRX, the signal output for LED_LINK is equal to (LED_LINK and LED_TXRX). For the
case where LED_LINK and LED_TXRX are not mutually exclusive (e.g., duplex and collision), this mode can simplify the external circuitry because it
ensures either LED_LINK or LED_TXRX is on, and not both at the same time. The same rule applies to pair LED_1000 and LED_100.

Register Description (continued)
Register Functions/Settings (continued)
1. Automatic TDR analysis is enabled by setting TDR request to {11}. All 10 combinations of pairs are analyzed in sequence, and the results are available in
registers 30 and 31. TDR analysis for a single-pair combination can be enabled by setting TDR request to {10}. Diagnostics must be enabled (18.2 = 1),
cable diagnostic TDR must be mode selected (23.13 = 0), and the PHY must be in PHY standby mode (26.15 = 1) to perform TDR operations. Bit 15 self-
clears when the TDR operation is complete. When TDR is complete, bit 14 indicates whether the results are valid.
2. TDR transmit and receive dimensions are only valid for single-pair TDR analysis. They are ignored for automatic TDR analysis when all 10 pair combina-
tions are analyzed.
3. This is the distance to an open, short, or strong impedance mismatch fault on the chosen pair for single-pair TDR analysis. For automatic TDR analysis, this
returns the distance to the last open, short, or strong impedance mismatch fault found. The automatic algorithm searches for faults in the order of short
between C and D, B and D, B and C, A and D, A and C, A and B; and faults on pair D, pair C, pair B, and pair A. If there is no fault, the result will be 0xff
and should be ignored.
4. The 8-bit integer value can be linearly converted to distance in meters. The value 0x08 (or less) corresponds to a distance of 0 m, and the value 0xfe corre-
sponds to a distance of 200 m (180 m for Cat-3 cable). The following equation can be used to convert the integer value to meters:
distance (m) = 1.179 x (x – 8) x NVP
Where,
NVP = normalized velocity of propagation (typically 0.69 for CAT5, CAT5e, and CAT6; 0.62 for CAT3). For CAT5/5e/6 cable, a simple
approximation (accurate to 0.1%) is (x – 8) x 13/16.

1. This is the cable length estimate when the link is active (maximum of 155 m). The values of 0x00 to 0x1f correspond to 0 m—155 m in 5 m increments.
The values of 0x20 to 0x3e are reserved for future use, e.g., cable lengths of 160 m—315 m. The result may be invalid for a 10Base-T link. If the result is
invalid, a value of 0x3f is returned.
2. Excessive pair skew is detected by determining that the scrambler has not acquired. It is possible for other scrambler acquisition errors to be mistaken for
excessive pair skew.

Trace Delay
Figure 17. RGMII 1000Base-T Transmit Timing—Trace Delay
Table 68. RGMII 1000Base-T Transmit Timing
1. This implies that PCB design will require clocks to be routed such that an additional trace delay of greater than 1.5 ns and less than 2.0 ns will be added to
the associated clock signal. To enable internal delay, see MII register 22 bits 2:0.
2. For 10Base-T and 100Base-TX, Tcyc scales to 400 ns ± 40 ns and 40 ns ± 4 ns, respectively.
3. Duty cycle may be shrunk/stretched during speed changes or while transitioning to a received packet’s clock domain as long as minimum duty cycle is not
violated and stretching occurs for no more than three Tcyc of the lowest speed transitioned between.
