5.2 Serial Management Interface
5.3 Twisted-Pair Interface
5.3.1 Twisted-Pair Transmitter
ICS1893CF, Rev. J, 08/11/09
The ICS1893CF provides an ISO/IEC compliant, two-wire Serial Management Interface as part of its MAC
Interface. This Serial Management Interface is used to exchange control, status, and configuration
information between a Station Management entity (STA) and the physical layer device (PHY), that is, the
ICS1893CF.
The ISO/IEC standard also specifies a frame structure and protocol for this interface as well as a set of
Management Registers that provide the STA with access to a PHY such as the ICS1893CF. A Serial
Management Interface is comprised of two signals: a bi-directional data pin (MDIO) along with an
associated input pin for a clock (MDC). The clock is used to synchronize all data transfers between the
ICS1893CF and the STA.
In addition to the ISO/IEC defined registers, the ICS1893CF provides several extended status and control
registers to provide more refined control of the MII and MDI interfaces. For example, the QuickPoll Detailed
Status Register provides the ability to acquire the most-important status functions with a single MDIO read.
Note:
For the twisted-pair interface, the ICS1893CF uses 1:1 ratio transformers for both transmit and receive.
Better operation results from using a split ground plane through the transformer. In this case:

The twisted-pair transmitter driver uses an H-bridge configuration. IDT transformer requirements:

Note:
1. Keep all TX traces as short as possible.
2. When longer board twisted pair traces are used, 50Ω-characteristic board trace impedance is
The RJ-45 transformer windings must be on the chassis ground plane along with the Bob Smith
termination.
The ICS1893CF system ground plane must include the ICS1893CF-side transformer windings along
with the 49.9Ω resistors and the 100 nF capacitor.
The transformer provides the isolation with one set of windings on one ground plane and another set of
windings on the second ground plane.
Turns Ratio 1:1
Chokes may be used on chip or cable side or both sides
No power connections to the transformer. Transformer power is supplied by the ICS1893CF
MIDCOM 7090-37 or equivalent symetrical magnetics are used
Two 49.9Ω 1% resistors are in series with a 100 nF capacitor to ground between them. These
components form a network that connects across both pairs of twisted pairs A and B.
Both twisted pairs A and B have an assigned plus and minus.
desirable.
In the ICS1893CF, the MDIO and MDC pins remain active for all the MAC Interface modes (that is,
10M MII, 100M MII, 100M Symbol, and 10M Serial).
