General Description

The KSZ8041TL is a single supply 10Base-T/100Base-TX

Physical Layer Transceiver, which provides MII/RMII/SMII

interfaces to transmit and receive data. It utilizes a unique

mixed-signal design to extend signaling distance while

reducing power consumption.

HP Auto MDI/MDI-X provides the most robust solution for

eliminating the need to differentiate between crossover

and straight-through cables.

Micrel LinkMD® TDR-based cable diagnostics permit

identification of faulty copper cabling.

The KSZ8041TL represents a new level of features and

performance and is an ideal choice of physical layer

transceiver for 10Base-T/100Base-TX applications.

The KSZ8041FTL has all the identical rich features of the

KSZ8041TL plus 100Base-FX support for fiber and media

converter applications.

Both KSZ8041TL and KSZ8041FTL are available in 48-

pin, lead-free TQFP packages (See Ordering Informat ion).

Data sheets and support documentation can be found on

Ipu/O = Input with internal pull-up (40K +/-30%) during power-up/reset; output pin otherwise.

Ipd/O = Input with internal pull-down (40K +/-30%) during power-up/reset; output pin otherwise.

2. MII Rx Mode: The RXD[3..0] bits are synchronous with RXCLK. When RXDV is asserted, RXD[3..0] presents valid data to MAC through the MII.

RXD[3..0] is invalid when RXDV is de-asserted.

3. RMII Rx Mode: The RXD[1:0] bits are synchronous with REF_CLK. For each clock period in which CRS_DV is asserted, two bits of recovered

data are sent from the PHY.

4. SMII Rx Mode: Receive data and control information are sent in 10 bit segments. In 100MBit mode, each segment represents a new byte of

data. In 10MBit mode, each segment is repeated ten times; therefore, every ten segments represent a new byte of data. The MAC can sample

any one of every 10 segments in 10MBit mode.

5. MII Tx Mode: The TXD[3..0] bits are synchronous with TXCLK. When TXEN is asserted, TXD[3..0] presents valid data from the MAC through

the MII. TXD[3..0] has no effect when TXEN is de-asserted.

6. RMII Tx Mode: The TXD[1:0] bits are synchronous with REF_CLK. For each clock period in which TX_EN is asserted, two bits of data are

received by the PHY from the MAC.

7. SMII Tx Mode: Transmit data and control information are received in 10 bit segments. In 100MBit mode, each segment represents a new byte

of data. In 10MBit mode, each segment is repeated ten times; therefore, ever y ten segments represent a new byte of data. The P H Y can

sample any one of every 10 segments in 10MBit mode.

Functional Description

The KSZ8041TL is a single 3.3V supply Fast Ethernet transceiver. It is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3u Specification.

On the media side, the KSZ8041TL supports 10Base-T and 100Base-TX with HP auto MDI/MDI-X for reliable detection of

and correction for straight-through and crossover cables.

The KSZ8041TL offers a choice of MII, RMII, or SMII data interface connection to a MAC processor. The MII management

bus option gives the MAC processor complete access to the KSZ8041TL control and status registers. Additionally, an

interrupt pin eliminates the need for the processor to poll for PHY status change.

Physical signal transmission and reception are enhanced through the use of patented analog circuitries that make the

design more efficient and allow for lower power consumption and smaller chip die size.

The KSZ8041FTL has all the identical rich featu res of the KSZ8041TL plus 100Base -FX fiber support.

100Base-TX Transmit

The 100Base-TX transmit function performs parallel-to-serial conversion, 4B/5B coding, scrambling, NRZ-to-NRZI

conversion, and MLT3 encoding and transmission.

The circuitry starts with a parallel-to-serial conversion, which converts the MII data from the MAC into a 125MHz serial bit

stream. The data and control stream is then converted into 4B/5B coding, followed by a scrambler. The serialized data is

further converted from NRZ-to-NRZI format, and then transmitted in MLT3 current output.

The output current is set by an external 6.49 KΩ 1% resistor for the 1:1 transformer ratio. It has typical rise/fall times of 4

ns and complies with the ANSI TP-PMD standard regarding amplitude balance, overshoot and timing jitter. The wave-

shaped 10Base-T output drivers are al so incorporated into the 100Base-TX drivers.

100Base-TX Receiv e

The 100Base-TX receiver function performs adaptive equalization, DC restoration, MLT3-to-NRZI conversion, data and

clock recovery, NRZI-to-NRZ conversion, de-scrambling, 4B/5B decoding, and serial-to-parallel conversion.

The receiving side starts with the equalization filter to compensate for inter-symbol interference (ISI) over the twisted pair

cable. Since the amplitude loss and phase distortion is a function of the cable length, the equalizer must adjust its

characteristics to optimize performance. In this design, the variable equalizer makes an initial estimation based upon

comparisons of incoming signal strength against some known cable characteristics, and then tunes itself for optimization.

This is an ongoing process and self-adjusts against environmental changes such as temperature variations.

Next, the equalized signal goes through a DC restoration and data conversion block. The DC restoration circuit is used to

compensate for the effect of baseline wander and to improve the dynamic range. The differential data conversion circuit

converts the MLT3 format back to NRZI. The slicing threshold is also adaptive.

The clock recovery circuit extracts the 125MHz clock from the edges of the NRZI signal. This recovered clock is then used

to convert the NRZI signal into the NRZ format. This signal is sent through the de-scrambler followed by the 4B/5B

decoder. Finally, the NRZ serial data is converted to the MII format and provided as the input data to the MAC.

PLL Clock Synthesizer

The KSZ8041TL/FTL generates 125 MΗz, 25 MΗz and 20 MΗz clocks for system timing. Internal clocks are generated

from an external 25 MHz crystal or oscillator. In RMII mode, these internal clocks are generated from an external 50 MHz

oscillator or system clock.

Scrambler/De-scrambler (100Base-TX only )

The purpose of the scrambler is to spread the power spectrum of the signal in order to reduce EMI and baseline wander.

10Base-T Transmit

The 10Base-T drivers are incorporated with the 100Base-TX drivers to allow for transmission using the same magnetic.

The drivers also perform internal wave-shaping and pre-emphasize, and output 10Base-T signals with a typical amplitude

of 2.5V peak. The 10Base-T signals have harmonic contents that are at least 27dB below the fundamental frequency

when driven by an all-ones Manchester-encoded signal.

Micrel, Inc. KSZ8041TL/FTL

April 2007 18 M9999-042707-1.1

10Base-T Receive

On the receive side, input buffer and level detecting squelch circuits are employed. A differential input receiver circuit and

a PLL performs the decoding function. The Manchester-encoded data stream is separated into clock signal and NRZ data.

A squelch circuit rejects signals with levels less than 400 mV or with short pulse widths to prevent noise at the RX+ and

RX- inputs from falsely trigger the decoder. When the input exceeds the squelch limit, the PLL locks onto the incoming

signal and the KSZ8041TL/FTL decodes a data frame. The receive clock is kept active during idle periods in between

data reception.

SQE and Jabber Function (10Bas e-T only)

In 10Base-T operation, a short pulse is put out on the COL pin after each frame is transmitted. This SQE Test is required

as a test of the 10Base-T transmit/receive path. If transmit enable (TXEN) is high for more than 20 ms (jabbering), the

10Base-T transmitter is disabled and COL is asserted high. If TXEN is then driven low for more than 250 ms, the 10Base-

T transmitter is re-enabled and COL is de-asserted (returns to low).

Auto-Negotiation

The KSZ8041TL/FTL conforms to the auto-negotiation protocol, defined in Clause 28 of the IEEE 802.3u specification.

Auto-negotiation is enabled by either hardware pin strapping (pin 30) or software (regi ster 0h bit 12).

Auto-negotiation allows unshielded twisted pair (UTP) link partners to select the highest common mode of operation. Link

partners advertise their capabilities to each other, and then compare their own capabilities with those they received from

their link partners. The highest speed and duplex setting that is common to the two link partners is selected as the mode

of operation.

The following list shows the spe ed and duplex operation mode from highe st to lowest.

• Priority 1: 100Base-TX, full-duplex

• Priority 2: 100Base-TX, half-duplex

• Priority 3: 10Base-T, full-duplex

• Priority 4: 10Base-T, half-duplex

If auto-negotiation is not supported or the KSZ8041TL/FTL link partner is forced to bypass auto-negotiation, the

KSZ8041TL/FTL sets its operating mode by observing the signal at its receiver. This is known as parallel detection, and

allows the KSZ8041TL/FTL to establish link by listening for a fixed signal protocol in the absence of auto-negotiation

advertisement protocol.

The auto-negotiation link up proce ss is shown in the following flow chart.

MII Management (MIIM) Interface

The KSZ8041TL/FTL supports the IEEE 802.3 MII Management Interface, also known as the Management Data Input /

Output (MDIO) Interface. This interface allows upper-layer devices to monitor and control the state of the

KSZ8041TL/FTL. An external device with MIIM capability is used to read the PHY status and/or configure the PHY

settings. Further detail on the MIIM interface can be found in Clause 22.2.4.5 of the IEEE 802.3u Specification.

The MIIM interface consists of the following:

• A physical connection that incorporates the clock line (MDC) and the data line (MDIO).

• A specific protocol that operates across the aforementioned physical connection that allows an external controller

to communicate with one or more KSZ8041TL/FTL devices. Each KSZ8041TL/FTL device is assigned a PHY

address between 1 and 7 by the PHYAD[2:0] strappin g pins.

• An internal addressable set of thirteen 16-bit MDIO registers. Register [0:6] are required, and their functions are

defined by the IEEE 802.3u Specification. The additional registers are provided for expanded functionality.

The KSZ8041TL/FTL supports MIIM in MII mode, RMII mode and SMII mode.

Interrupt (INTRP)

INTRP (pin 21) is an optional interrupt signal that is used to inform the external controller that there has been a status

update in the KSZ8041TL/FTL PHY register. Bits[15:8] of register 1Bh are the interrupt control bits, and are used to

enable and disable the conditions for asserting the INTRP signal. Bits[7:0] of register 1Bh are the interrupt status bits, and

are used to indicate which interrupt conditions have occurred. The interrupt status bits are cleared after reading register

1Bh.

Bit 9 of register 1Fh sets the interrupt level to active high or active low.

MII Data Interface

The Media Independent Interface (MII) is specified in Clause 22 of the IEEE 802.3u Specification. It provides a common

interface between physica l layer and MAC layer devices, and has the following key characteristics:

• Supports 10Mbps and 100Mbps data rates.

• Uses a 25 MHz reference clo ck, sourced by the PHY.

• Provides independent 4-bit wide (nibble) transmit and receive data paths.

• Contains two distinct groups of signals: one for transmission an d the other for reception.

By default, the KSZ8041TL/FTL is configured in MII mode after it is power-up or reset with the following:

• A 25 MHz crystal connected to XI, XO (pins 15, 14), or an external 25MHz clock source (oscillator) connected to

XI.

• CONFIG[2:0] (pins 27, 41, 40) set to ‘000’ (default setting).

Table 2. MII Signal Definition

Transmit Clock (TXC)

TXC is sourced by the PHY. It is a continuous clock that provide s the timing refe rence for TXEN and TXD[3:0].

TXC is 2.5MHz for 10Mbps ope ration and 25MHz for 100Mbps operation.

Transmit Enable (TXEN)

TXEN indicates the MAC is presenting nibbles on TXD[3:0] for transmission. It is asserted synchronously with the first

nibble of the preamble and remains asserted while all nibbles to be transmitted are presented on the MII, and is negated

prior to the first TXC following the final nibble of a fram e.

TXEN transitions synchronously with respect to TXC.

Transmit Data [3:0] (TXD[3:0])

TXD[3:0] transitions synchronously with respect to TXC. When TXEN is asserted, TXD[3:0] are accepted for transmission

by the PHY. TXD[3:0] is ”00” to indicate idle when TXEN is de-asserted. Values other than “00” on TXD[3:0] while TXEN

is de-asserted are ignored by the PHY.

Receive Clock (RXC)

RXC provides the timing reference for RXDV, RXD[3:0], and RXER.

• In 10Mbps mode, RXC is recovered from the line while carrier is active. RXC is derived from the PHY’s reference

clock when the line is idle, or link is down.

• In 100Mbps mode, RXC is continuously recovered from the line. If link is down, RXC is derived from the PHY’s

reference clock.

RXC is 2.5MHz for 10Mbps operation and 25MHz for 100Mbp s operation.

Micrel, Inc. KSZ8041TL/FTL

April 2007 22 M9999-042707-1.1

Receive Data Valid (RXDV)

RXDV is driven by the PHY to indicate that the PHY is presenting recovered and decoded nib bles on RXD[3:0].

• In 10Mbps mode, RXDV is asserted with the first nibble of the SFD (Start of Frame Delimiter), “5D”, and remains

asserted until the end of the frame.

• In 100Mbps mode, RXDV is asserted from the first nibble of the preamble to the last nibble of the frame.

RXDV transitions synchronously with respect to RXC.

Receive Data [3:0] (RXD[3:0])

RXD[3:0] transitions synchronously with respect to RXC. For each clock period in which RXDV is asserted, RXD[3:0]

transfers a nibble of recov ered data from the PHY.

Receive Error (RXER)

RXER is asserted for one or more RXC periods to indicate that a Symbol Error (e.g. a coding error that a PHY is capable

of detecting, and that may otherwise be undetectable by the MAC sub-layer) was detected somewhere in the frame

presently being transferred from the PHY.

RXER transitions synchron ously with respect to RXC. While RXDV is de-asserted, RXER has no effect on the MAC.

Carrier Sense (CRS)

CRS is asserted and de-a sserted as follows:

• In 10Mbps mode, CRS assertion is based on the reception of valid preambles. CRS de-assertion is based on the

reception of an end-of-frame (EOF) marker.

• In 100Mbps mode, CRS is asserted when a start-of-stream delimiter, or /J/K symbol pair is detected. CRS is de-

asserted when an end-of-stream delimiter, or /T/R symbol pair is detected. Additionally, the PMA layer de-asserts

CRS if IDLE symbols are received without /T/R.

Collision (COL)

COL is asserted in half-duplex mode whenever the transmitter and receiver are simultaneously active on the line. This is

used to inform the MAC that a collision has occurred during its transmission to the PHY.

COL transitions asynchronously with respect to TXC and RXC.

Reduced MII (RMII) Data Interface

The Reduced Media Independent Interface (RMII) specifies a low pin count Media Independent Interface (MII). It provides

a common interface between physical layer and MAC layer devices, and has the following key characteristics:

• Supports 10Mbps and 100Mbps data rates.

• Uses a single 50 MHz reference clock provided by the MAC or the system board.

• Provides independent 2-bit wide (di-bit) transmit and receive data paths.

• Contains two distinct groups of signals: one for transmission an d the other for reception.

The KSZ8041TL/FTL is configured in RMII mode after it is power-u p or reset with the following:

• A 50 MHz reference clock connected to REFCLK (pin 15).

• CONFIG[2:0] (pins 27, 41, 40) set to ‘001’.

In RMII mode, unused MII signals, TXD[3:2] (pins 3 9, 38), are tied to ground.

RXD[1:0] Output Input Receive Data [1:0]

RX_ER Output Input, or (not requir ed) Receive Error

Table 3. RMII Signal Description

Reference Clock (REF_C LK)

REF_CLK is sourced by the MAC or system board. It is a continuous 50 MHz clock that provides the timing reference for

TX_EN, TXD[1:0], CRS_DV, RXD[1:0], and RX_ER.

Transmit Enable (TX_EN)

TX_EN indicates that the MAC is presenting di-bits on TXD[1:0] for transmission. It is asserted synchronously with the first

nibble of the preamble and remains asserted while all di-bits to be transmitted are presented on the RMII, and is negated

prior to the first REF_CLK following the final di-bit of a frame.

TX_EN transitions synchronously with respect to REF_CLK.

Transmit Data [1:0] (TXD[1:0])

TXD[1:0] transitions synchronously with respect to REF_CLK. When TX_EN is asserted, TXD[1:0] are accepted for

transmission by the PHY. TXD[1:0] is ”00” to indicate idle when TX_EN is de-asserted. Values other than “00” on TXD[1:0]

while TX_EN is de-asserted are ignored by the PHY.

Carrier Sense/Receive Data Valid (CRS_DV)

CRS_DV is asserted by the PHY when the receive medium is non-idle. It is asserted asynchronously on detection of

carrier. This is when squelch is passed in 10Mbps mode, and when 2 non-contiguous zeroes in 10 bits are detected in

100Mbps mode. Loss of carrier results in the de-assertion of CRS _DV.

So long as carrier detection criteria are met, CRS_DV remains asserted continuously from the first recovered di-bit of the

frame through the final recovered di-bit, and it is negated prior to the first REF_CLK that follows the final di-bit. The data

on RXD[1:0] is considered valid once CRS_DV is asserted. However, since the assertion of CRS_DV is asynchronous

relative to REF_CLK, the data on RXD[1:0] is "00" until proper receive signal decoding takes p lace.

Receive Data [1:0] (RXD[1:0])

RXD[1:0] transitions synchronously to REF_CLK. For each clock period in which CRS_DV is asserted, RXD[1:0] transfers

two bits of recovered data from the PHY. RXD[1:0] is "00" to indicate idle when CRS_DV is de-asserted. Values other

than “00” on RXD[1:0] while CRS_DV is de-asserted are ignored b y the MAC.

Receive Error (RX_ER)

RX_ER is asserted for one or more REF_CLK periods to indicate that a Symbol Error (e.g. a coding error that a PHY is

capable of detecting, and that may otherwise be undetectable by the MAC sub-layer) was detected somewhere in the

frame presently being transferred from the PHY.

RX_ER transitions synchronously with respect to REF_CLK. While CRS_DV is de-asserted, RX_ER has no effect on the

MAC.

Collision Detection

The MAC regenerates the COL signal of the MII from TX_EN and CRS_DV.

Serial MII (SMII) Data Interface

The Serial Media Independent Interface (SMII) is the lowest pin count Media Independent Interface (MII). It provides a

common interface between physical layer and MAC layer devices, and has the following key characteristics:

• Supports 10Mbps and 100Mbps data rates.

• Uses 125 MHz reference clock provided by the MAC or the system board.

• Uses 12.5 MHz sync pulse provided by the MAC.

• Provides independent single-bit wide transmit and receive data paths for data and control information.

The KSZ8041TL/FTL is configured in SMII mode after it is power-u p or reset with the following:

• A 125 MHz reference clock connecte d to CLOCK (pin 15).

• A 12.5 MHz sync pulse connected to SYNC (pin 36).

• CONFIG[2:0] (pins 27, 41, 40) set to ‘010’.

In SMII mode, unused MII signals, TXD[3:2] (pins 39, 38), are tied to grou nd.

Clock Reference (CLOCK)

CLOCK is sourced by the MAC or system board. It is a continuous 125 MHz clock that provides the timing reference for

SYNC, TX, and RX.

Sync Pulse (SYNC)

SYNC is a 12.5 MHz synchronized pulse derived from CLOCK by the MAC. It is used to indicate the segment boundary

for each transmit data/control segment, or receive data/ control segment. Each segment is comprised of ten bits.

SYNC is generated continuou sly by the MAC at every ten cycles of CLOCK.

Transmit Data and Control (TX)

TX provides transmit data and control information from MAC-to -PHY in 10-bit segments.

• In 10Mbps mode, each segment is repeated ten times. Therefore, every ten segments represent a new byte of

data. The PHY can sample any one of every ten segments.

• In 100Mbps mode, each segment represents a new byte of data.

HP Auto MDI/MDI-X

HP Auto MDI/MDI-X configuration eliminates the confusion of whether to use a straight cable or a crossover cable

between the KSZ8041TL/FTL and its link partner. This feature allows the KSZ8041TL/FTL to use either type of cable to

connect with a link partner that is in either MDI or MDI-X mode. The auto-sense function detects transmit and receive

pairs from the link partner, and then assigns transmit and receive pairs of the KSZ8041TL/FTL accordingly.

HP Auto MDI/MDI-X is enabled by default. It is disabled by writing a one to register 1F bit 13. MDI and MDI-X mode is

selected by register 1F bit 14 if HP Auto MDI/MDI-X is disabled.

An isolation transformer with symmetrical transmit and receive data paths is recommended to support auto MDI/MDI-X.

The IEEE 802.3u Standard defines MDI and MDI-X as follow:

LinkMD® Cable Diagnostics

The LinkMD® feature utilizes time domain reflectometry (TDR) to analyze the cabling plant for common cabling problems,

such as open circuits, short circuits and im pedance mismatches.

LinkMD® works by sending a pulse of known amplitude and duration down the MDI and MDI-X pairs, and then analyzing

the shape of the reflected signal. Timing the pulse duration gives an indication of the distance to the cabling fault with

maximum distance of 200m and accuracy of +/-2m. Internal circuitry computes the TDR information and presents it in a

user-readable digital format.

Note: Cable diagnostics are only valid for copper connections and do not support fiber o ptic operation.

Access

LinkMD® is initiated by accessing register 1Dh, the LinkMD® Control/Status Register, in conjunction with register 1Fh, the

PHY Control 2 Register.

Usage

The following test procedure demon strates how to use LinkMD® for cable diagn ostic:

1. Disable auto MDI/MDI-X by writing a ‘1’ to register 1Fh bit 13 to enable manual control over the differential pair

used to transmit the LinkMD® pulse.

2. Select the differential pair to transmit the LinkMD® pulse with register 1Fh bit 14.

3. Start cable diagnostic test by writing a ‘1’ to register 1Dh bit 15. This enable bit is self-clea ring.

4. Wait (poll) for register 1Dh bit 15 to return a ‘0’, indicating cable dia gnostic test is completed.

5. Read cable diagnostic test results in register 1Dh bits [14:13]. The results are a s follows:

00 = normal condition (valid test)

01 = open condition detected in cable (valid test)

10 = short condition detected in cable (valid test)

11 = cable diagnostic test failed (invalid test)

The ‘11’ case, invalid test, occurs if the KSZ8041TL/FTL is unable to shut down the link partner. In this instance,

the test is not run, since it would be impossible for the KSZ8041TL/FTL to determine if the detected signal is a

reflection of the signal generated by the KSZ8041TL/FTL, or a si gnal from its link partner.

6. Get distance to fault by multiplying the decimal value in register 1Dh bits [8:0] by a constant of 0.4. The distance,

D (expressed in meters), to the cable fault is determined by the following formula:

D (distance to cable fault) = 0.4 x {decimal value of register 1Dh bits [8:0]}

The 0.4 constant can be calibrated for different cable types and cabling conditions, such a s cables with velocity of

propagation that varies significantly fro m the norm.

Power Management

The KSZ8041TL/FTL offers the following power man agement modes:

Power Saving Mode

This mode is used to reduce power consumption when the cable is unplugged. It is in effect when auto-negotiation mode

is enabled, cable is disconnected, and register 1Fh bit 10 is set to 1 (default setting). Under power saving mode, the

KSZ8041TL/FTL shuts down all transceiver blocks, except for energy detect and PLL circuits. Additionally, in MII mode,

the RXC clock output is disabled. RXC clock is enabled after the cable is conn ected and link is established.

Power saving mode is disabled by writing a zero to register 1Fh bit 10.

Power Down Mode

This mode is used to power down the entire KSZ8041TL/FTL device when it is not in use. Power down mode is enabled

by writing a one to register 0h bit 11. In the power down state, the KSZ8041TL/FTL disables all internal functions, except

for the MII management interface.

100Base-FX Fiber Operation (KSZ8041FTL only)

100Base-FX fiber operation is similar to 100Base-TX copper operation with the differences being that the scrambler/de-

scrambler and MLT3 encoder/decoder are bypassed on transmission and reception. In addition, auto-negotiation is

bypassed, auto MDI/MDI-X is disabled, and speed is set to 100Mbps. The duplex can be set to either half or full. Usually,

it is set to full-duplex.

Fiber Signal Detect

In 100Base-FX operation, FXSD (fiber signal detect), input pin 48, is usually connected to the fiber transceiver SD (signal

detect) output pin. 100Base-FX mode is activated when the FXSD input pin is greater than 1V. When FXSD is between

1V and 1.8V, no fiber signal is detected and a Far-End Fault is generated. When FXSD is over 2.2V, the fiber signal is

detected.

100Base-FX mode and signal detection is summarized in the following table:

FXSD Input Voltage Mode

Less than 0.2V Copper mode

Greater than 1V, but less than 1.8V Fiber mode

No signal detected

Far-End Fault generated (if enabl ed)

Greater than 2.2V Fiber mode

Signal detected

Table 11. Copper and Fiber Mode Selection

To ensure proper operation, a resistive voltage divider is recommended to adjust the fiber transceiver SD (signal detect)

output voltage swing to match the FXSD pin’s input voltage threshold.

Alternatively, the Far-End Fault feature can be disabled. In this case, the FXSD input pin is tied high to 3.3V to force

100Base-FX mode.

Far-End Fault

A Far-End Fault (FEF) occurs when the signal detection is logically false on the receive side of the fiber transceiver. The

KSZ8041FTL detects a FEF when its FXSD input (pin 48) is between 1V and 1.8V. When a FEF is detected, the

KSZ8041FTL signals its fiber link partner that a FEF has occurred by transmitting a repetitive pattern of 84-ones and 1-

zero. This pattern is used to inform the fiber link partner that there is a faulty link on its transmit side.

By default, FEF is enabled. FEF is disabled by strapping “no FEF” (pin 43) low. See “Strapping Options” section for detail.

Back-to-Back Media Converter

A KSZ8041FTL and a KSZ8041TL can be connected back-to-back to provide a low cost media converter solution. In

back-to-back mode, media conversion is between 100Base-FX fiber and 100Base-TX copper. On the copper side, link up

at 10Base-T is not allowed, and is bloc ked during auto-negotiation.

Figure 10. KSZ8041FTL / KSZ8041TL Back-to-Back Media Converter

The KSZ8041FTL and KSZ8041TL support MII Back-to-Ba ck mode and RMII Back-to-Back mode for me dia conversion.

MII Back-to-Back Mode

The KSZ8041FTL and KSZ8041TL are configure d in MII Back-to-Back mode after it is power-up or reset with the following:

• CONFIG[2:0] (pins 27, 41, 40) set to ‘110’ for both KSZ8041FTL and KSZ8041T L.

• A common 25 MHz reference clock connected to XI (pin 15) of both KSZ8041FTL and KSZ8041TL.

Table 13. RMII Signal Connection for RMII Back-to-Back Mode

RMII Back-to-Back mode provides the option to disable and tri-state the transmitter on both copper and fiber sides if the

cable is disconnected on the copper side. On the copper side, RXD2 (pin 21) indicates if there is energy detected at the

receive inputs of the UTP port. RXD2 outputs a low if there is no energy detected (cable disconnected), and outputs a

high if the re is energy detec ted (cable connected) . The RXD2 output is connec ted thru an inverter to drive T XD2 (pin 38)

input high to disable and tri-state the transmitters for both copper and fiber sides.

The TXD3 and TXD2 pins should be pulled down with 1K resistors, and RXD3 and RXD2 pins should be left floating, if

they are not used.
